You’re clearly not well-practiced at doublethink.

And Kinderschokolade for not containing even 1% of meat from real children.

I got an Index for cheap last year and was very excited to play a number of my favorite games with optional VR mode. Turns out:

1. the Index ecosystem is more accessible than expected.

2. the games I was looking forward to all played like ass and made VR seem like a stupid gimmick.

3. In a desperate move that felt like sunk cost fallacy, I tried several VR-only games, and got TOTALLY hooked on modded Beatsaber. This itself made the buy-in worth it.

That wouldn’t even help at this point. One of the openly fascist ministers would be in power by the end of the year.

That’s an idiotic take fully ignorant of both history and the present.

And then CDU gets to come in and pretend they’re the people’s party, after a decade of gaslighting the public that everything else is communism and they’re the only electable alternative - despite adopting many AfD talking points and strategies, laying the groundwork for further far-right gains.

That itself is more of a symptom than the root cause.

They’ve started selling their brand to external manufacturers a while ago. A pretty strong sign where they’ve been headed.

They’re huge. And a significant part of their portfolio is specific to combustion engines.

The number is bullshit in the first place meant only to impress clueless CEOs.

I don’t see how that’s any indicator of cognitive decline.

Also people had notebooks for ages. The reason they remembered phone numbers wasn’t necessity, but that you had to manually dial them every time.

In other news, four innocent nazis experienced a brutal terror attack while peacefully raiding the Warsaw ghetto.

Because, even if you do have a fully functional credit card which is not a given in many countries, US-based CC payment processors like Stripe are equally horrible third-party companies that gobble up all the data they can get their hands on somehow.

Seriously. You cannot even start “free trials” on US-based websites without handing over everything a bad actor would need for fraud or even identity theft.

Believers of a death cult promising salvation in the afterlife.

Apparently “invasive but like, when it’s a good thing”.

They forgot the part of their TOS about “damaging the brand”.

You are my source, you dense MFer 🤦‍♀️

You posted the Yle article which you now have to pretend doesn’t contain that exact quote which disproves your chosen narrative.

I’m done explaining this circumstance and why it matters. You’re so far down this rabbit hole not even Alice could get through to you. Enjoy yourself in there - but don’t make a mess.

Source: Dasus@lemmy.world lmao.

You’re not hurting my feelings by calling me autistic as an insult, sorry. It just makes you look like a 13-year-old on 4chan.

You have abandoned all integrity if you need to lie about something so easily checked as the age of my account.

Okay, that was an Incredibles reference, but here’s why you’re actually a dense motherfucker. Your source does not disagree with my point in any way.

Here’s the quote that actually literally explains what happened:

“One of their supporters had thought Stinky could be seen as a racist symbol,” said Roleff Kråkström, CEO of Moomin Characters, the company that manages the rights to Tove Jansson’s beloved Moomin universe.

Your Bodenheimer quote above is in complete agreement with this. It works either way.

It’s plain dishonest to pretend someone approached them and said the character is racist. That is just not what happened.

But at this point you are too emotionally invested in this fight to acknowledge this. So instead you pretend that Herald disagrees with the YLE article, when in reality it at most implies what you think must have happened because you didn’t carefully read the quote.
Meanwhile you yell something about social security numbers and resort to calling me an “autistically screeching burner account”. Very classy and not at all desperate way to undermine your position I have to say.

And here’s why I said this is advancing right-wing propaganda:
Because that’s exactly what this narrative is about “the left” or “woke mobs” going around calling everything racist under the sun and cancelling people left and right. It is an incredibly pervasive and successful avenue of right-wing “culture war” propaganda in recent years.
I was being fair with you by saying it’s unconscious, even added that I’ve been there myself. I know how good it feels to rhetorically dunk on ignorant fools like that. But… well, everything above.

We’re citing the same source, you dense motherf*cker. You’ve been missing the point for the past dozen comments. And now you’re literally ignoring my whole reply. Great job.
