  • When something gets popular, there are people who will say it's cringe. Those people usually just refuse to enjoy anything that a lot of other people enjoy. Often I find it doesn't have anything to do with the quality. This also happens generationally. Younger people will see something like vaporwave as cringe because it's old, but not old enough to be cool again like Y2K fashion is now even though it's obviously extremely cringe

  • There was a time before cash shops when this was true in a lot of games. Even WoW had some really rare and hard to get items that couldn't be bought in any real way. I guess you could pay people to play your account, but no real money existed in the game.

  • Yes, but capitalists benefit more from people embracing individualism and many people have been indoctrinated into that belief for multiple generations now. Because the US and many other places frame nearly everything as competitive instead of cooperative, we have started to default to that even in settings that are obviously meant to be cooperative.

  • Honestly I'm shocked we haven't had a coincidental double mass shooting, but I'm also always surprised we don't have more assassinations? Or at least attempts. If you're gonna do it anyway, a senator is way cooler than just shooting up a mall or something

  • Yeah I actually live on the West coast now and saw that in a nearby city that has a lot of options for food. I actually really like in n out but I don't like any food enough to wait in a line like this. I would skip at least one meal first.

  • I will never understand the American obsession with mediocre fast food. I watched this happen with literally every new fast food place that opened in a small city off an interstate in Alabama. I can at least understand why small towns get excited for something new, but it's always just shitty food or in this case just some fucking chicken tenders?
