And regardless of age! Their games never go on sale. And they don’t use local pricing (the actual term escapes me rn), so us poors in the 3rd world are stuck paying half a months salary for 7 year old games 🤪

“If I haven’t already come across it, it doesn’t exist, because I am aware of everything that is reported on” right?

That wasn’t even remotely similar in multiple categories.

You are so incredibly misinformed and your worldview is tragically narrow.

Prisoners, soldiers… The options are endless!

Yeah man, they’re totally identical. No difference between them at all. Nope.

He was trained to do that. It’s his job. Your sympathy is severely misplaced.

Feels important to say that statutory rape cannot be consensual

Legit question from a non-American - are Repubs really likely to vote for a woman for president?

High kids’ dumb shit will always pale in comparison to drunk kids’ dumb shit and it’s not even close.

Is there not enough about Israel in the current news cycle that you’ll completely disregard what’s actually happening here for a throwaway, utterly irrelevant comment?

Rather just bomb the fucking place and move on.

Should’ve added an /s eh

Thank you for the correction

Thank you for the correction!

This is a really interesting article on lightbulbs, which have a pretty conspiratorial past: https://interestingengineering.com/science/everlasting-lightbulbs-exist-ed

Did you know that a secret meeting was held in Geneva in 1924 between lightbulb manufacturers that lead to the formation of the ‘Pheobus Cartel’?

"The main objective of this cartel was to agree to control the supply of light bulbs. Each understood that if any one of them managed to develop a long-lasting light bulb, the need for replacement bulbs would likely dry up.

Bulbs were lasting too long. Not ideal from their point of view.

So, to combat this, all members of the cartel agreed to reduce the lifespan of bulbs on purpose. Initially, this was set to no more than 1,000 hours!"

The longest-lasting lightbulb was first turned on it 1901 and is still shining.

EDIT: Seems this is a myth, see replies for more information!

It’s as deliberate as calling people who criticize the actions of the Israeli government anti-semites. It’s disingenuous and completely intentional. That way, you can erase Palestinian civilians from the conversation altogether.

Yeah, there’s so much space for them to work with, right?

How about not conflating “Jews” with Israel?

“limited amounts of force” 😭😭😭

“gives the human shields a chance to escape from the death cult” is a WILD way to describe how millions of civilians suddenly have less than 24 hours to move south (where? Who cares?) lest they get absolutely bombed to fuck.
