what a Freudian slip from Cock’s friend

Is it though? They’re middle schoolers/high schoolers, to them the name “dick” only means penis. So, not as much a Freudian slip as a window into the mind of a teenager

I only want to play single player games. I’m not a super big gamer, but I just want campaigns. I recently got a PS5 and I’ve been struggling to find newer games that have a great single player campaign. RDR2 is my style, it’s my favorite game. The gameplay itself is a little problematic, but it’s gorgeous and the story just gets me where I live. And that’s what I want.

You think your iPhone isn’t collecting data on you? Is that what you’re saying?

Was the Netflix homesite not broken? It was pretty terrible.

Why people still use it is beyond me.

lol very interesting that “see how we’re destroying these kids’ bodies for money” is now a game feature.

And that was me telling you your assumption of who’s at fault was way off the mark.

They’re rockstars. They knew what they were doing and made the choice themselves.

So you’re arguing that selling out any supposed values you might have is fine as long as the check is big enough.

Foo Fighters are a huge band. They aren’t at the whims of some all powerful manager. And Amazon’s crimes are not new, they’re not obscure information. They’re incredibly well known, frequently discussed, and go hand in hand with the mention of Amazon. They knew what they were doing, who they were doing it for.

Now, if you want to discuss the power that record labels and their business relationships hold and their contracts with the bands they produce, that’s a possible explanation for this. But we’re talking about aging millionaire white guys. Chances are, they had veto power, knew what they were doing and probably could’ve accepted a monetary fine from the record company for defying a contract obligation if that’s why they were being forced to do it. And, honestly, probably would’ve leaked that information, gotten a ton of great press, maybe gotten into a public dispute with the record label if they chose to speak out about it, and then cashed in on that.

But, like you said, they did it for a fat paycheck. They didn’t stick up for the well-documented abused workers of Amazon while cashing in on it — “virtue signaling,” as people say. They decided to do this. For money. From Amazon executives.

And that’s…not better.

The fact that this comes at the end of typical corporate purse string tightening at the expense of workers is really just the steaming shit nugget on top of this diarrhea sundae.

Definitely looks better than the other bullshit they put out before.
