I only fell for one of those maybe once or twice before I caught on. No money was lost though. just spam/adware

I did manage to get scammed and have my habbo hotel account stolen though, I was also a stupid kid.

I wasn’t dunking on the game, I only said I didnt play it, and otherwise, anything in the present that Krafton is associated with seems like something to avoid

The internet in the 2000s was like a WW1 Trenchline. Noise and graphic content everywhere and one wrong move could cost you life or limb.

I dont exactly remember when it started getting “safer” because I think the same time the internet was getting safer to browse, a lot of Millenial and Zillenial kids were getting smarter and otherwise learning how to not get malware and worms on their PC

the creation in the game is advanced, its the gameplay inbetween the character creator and house designer that I find to be hollow

Dumbass stole an odd number of shoes.

We cant even agree on what truth vs lies is, or what either of them mean. a lie is okay as long as its convenient ,truth must be hidden if it hurts us

In a world where truth is now fluid, we need to learn some Russian, just one word, a loanword “Vranyo” Literally it mean lies. but its used in the context “Im lying, you know Im lying, I know that you know Im lying, but you aren’t going to do shit, and I dont care even if you did”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vranyo

Vranyo has infected western society Its how government operates, its how gangsters operate. convenientley, a lot of the governments and gangsters are now one in the same.

yeah cause you cant get one at your local best buy anymore, but someone will certainly harrass you into trying to buy a smart TV

Likely because those sites are built by the same provider.

I work for a car dealership and all of the other dealerships of the same brand in our region use the same family of providers, We -used- to have the faces of real employees pop up on the chat thing until they got too busy to handle it

now its the same stock photo of a person who likely doesnt even exist

Rose tinted glasses. Shopping online in 2005 was absolutely not as simple as 3 clicks.

you missed the part about broken links, pages that wouldnt load because of some random HTML error, oh, and the payment itself either getting rejected or otherwise not working for a long time.

I never cared for Subnautica I also never cared for PUBG

But what little I know about PUBG, What I’ve seen them do to Subnautica 2, and that lazy AI ridden “Sims killer” Inzoi, Im of the opinion Krafton are just hustlers.

He’s lived in a bubble his entire life. for 60 years he lived in an aristocrat’s bubble. and since he was in his mid to late 60s, he’s lived in one where he’s treated like a living god. He was raised by affluent , arrogant, racist and supremacist bastards, and that will never leave him.

remember a few weeks ago , if that. he had a fruedian slip and dropped an antisemetic remark when he was trying to talk about scammers or something?

You’re right, I Unintenitonally used a straw man argument. and what did you do, turn around and you used one right back, insenuiating that I think I get to decide who can reproduce.

give me a fucking break.

First mistake was assuming I was looking for respect from a comment section on the internet.

the countries that are panicking about birth rates are also the countries that think they’re going to be at war in the next generation or two. And the demographic situation is already bad in the countries that aren’t already shooting.

Look at how bad things were before it started, and what 3 years of full scale war has done to Ukraine and Russia, they have more or less succeeded in signing each others death warrants as nations

Im sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but that Trailer park welfare mom with 6 kids and her 4 baby daddies that have 2 kids each of their own are a problem.

and there’s plenty of other cultures with a similar problem of having too many kids and not being able to provide for any of them.

*those are real problems, and people arent insane for criticising them. *

not to mention more of then than not, those kids grow up poor and have miserable lives, who go on to repeat what their parents did. starting the cycle all over again.

Nobody is saying people cant have kids, but there’s a line of whats reasonable. This isn’t the middle ages where you have a gaggle of kids because you need manual labor for the farm and you expect half of them to die before they reach 20.

Like 20 years ago when that Pimp my gun flash “game” was a thing I too used to Stick Stanags and m203s onto AKs.

an important caveat about what happened with Russia, an enormous amount of their military was only on paper, because it had either been lied about, or stuff was stolen, from various positions on the pecking order.

It should also be noted that after a shitshow of year 1 and being unable to fight a combined arms mechanized war, they switched back to the brute force and massive casualty strategy, and for all intents and purposes, It worked, all Ukraine can do is try to hold territory and kill soldiers, but realistically due to Western cowardice and ratfuckery, the door closed a long time ago on Ukraine being able to dislodge Russia from its stolen territory.

The chances that a real Elon party signifigantly stealing votes from the Republicans to the point it causes an actual vote split is basically nil. The voter base is stupid, but not so stupid to hand a brand new party anything out of the gate.

Now, controlled opposition, is a foundation of the farce that is Russian democracy, and both DT and Elon are staunch admirers of Putin’s system where its a mob masquerading as a government with total control

being good guys isnt the point

owning libs is the point. and they are bigly owned right now,

Groupthink is a real thing

and its evolved over the last few decades.
