If I sell you a 2025 Ferrari then give you a 2011 Honda Civic, I broke the law and you got scammed.

Even if I take the unexpected step of sending you a civic-to-Ferrari conversion kit after the fact that makes the car I delivered somewhat comparable to the one I advertised, that doesn’t excuse the initial deception.

What they did was deliberate and dishonest - it’s awesome that they’ve taken (a shit ton of) steps since to make it right, but it’ll never be right.

Holding them accountable is not psychotic.

I wanted so badly to believe… so I did… cuz I’m a dumbass.

Idk who decides what in an indie studio, but whatever the job title, I’m talking about those involved in deceiving their customers… and there was a lot of that with NMS.

I was one of the fucking idiots that preordered No Man’s Sky. The devs have done a lot to make up for it, so I don’t really regret it anymore as it’s a decent game now, but at release it was so drastically bare-bones compared to what they advertised that if the legal system actually gave a shit about consumer protection, the staff of Hello Games would have served jail time.

But Sean was a charismatic little con artist, and he cut right past my defense. bUt ThiS gUy’S diFfeReNt!! Bruh I fuckin knew better than that!

Seriously though, that poor worm!

Well, if the cheeseburgers don’t do the trick, world class healthcare can only do so much in the event of [removed by mod].

That’s because his health itself is seditious and treasonous. If he’d just hurry up and succumb to his decades-long suicide by cheeseburger, that’d stand out as his one and only act of patriotism.

Don’t forget that McDonald’s ran two separate PR campaigns for the Trump regime.

And THAT is plenty of reason to boycott them. Don’t give those traitors another cent. There are a TON of other options to get that greasy junk food fix.

“We did our best, but our best is absolute shit.”

Just secure it with a wire that anchors onto two opposing surfaces of the dura mater… duh!

Sup, ICE. You’ve done such a good job emulating your rolemodel from the 1930s/40s with the mustache, I think you’ve all earned a fast-track in that career!! Just skip right to the end and go ahead and feed yourself that bullet! Remember not to aim perpendicular to your throat - that’ll just punch a potentially nonfatal hole: instead aim it up toward your brain!

You are a traitor not just to your country, but to all of humanity: your legacy will only ever be that of a villainous cautionary tale.

Best of luck with the go kill yourself! 💖

Never bothered with putting a tree up, but I’ve always kinda wanted to steal this idea:

Another stocking.

No I’m with you there - but it’s hard to discuss that stuff without getting banned; and you can do that stuff while still casting a vote every now and then. I’ve stirred up a lot of drama here by encouraging the use of that tool - this thread is stuffed with mouth-foaming Trump progandists, so proceed with caution. And grab some popcorn - it’s a shitshow, but it’s a show!

Push Nestle and Goya products way back in the shelf / turn them around / grab non- Nestle/Goya equivalents and put them in front of the Nestle/Goya shit.

Goal is to make their products less visible to other customers.

Even if you’re stuck in the cousin-fuckingly-deep south like me, where your vote will almost certainly be washed out by a horde of Nazis: still do it. Especially in smaller elections - school boards, city level stuff, whatever you can get in on. Those are the ones where you can really start to turn the tide. All it takes is for the usual rednecks to start feeling apathetic, and a handful of us bleeding-heart-commie-socialist-hippie-libruls to step up, and BAM, we’ve got a progressive oasis elected in our desert of red. Which still isn’t much, but it’s a foothold.

But it does require us to do the bare-assed minimum amount of effort in support of change, which is to vote.

Voting is one of many tools at our disposal - and right now we need all the tools we can get.

So, don’t shit on voting - do vote!

Do the other things too, but don’t skip the vote.

How does this whole haunting thing work? Cuz I got a few heart attacks to dish out.

Naw, that’s an RFK Jr exclusive.

Oh, so he is. I’m so used to seeing LLM used interchangeably with AI that I made the same error… damnit…
