not from the videos I've watched, the many stories I've read

And how many of those didn't have a certain narrative they were trying to push? Do you have any idea how ignorant you sound when your source for your opinion on millions of people in the worst of circumstances is "I saw some videos and read some stories".

Let me ask you, have you actually talked with any of these fellow human beings out on the street? Have you spent even a second interacting with them besides shooting them a scowl as you pass by? Or were you worried they might get their "poor" on you, and so you avoided them like they were diseased?

Your world view is shit, little boy. Your parents have raised you in ignorance and have let their own lack of empathy spread into you and fester. Maybe keep your opinions to yourself about people who are struggling when you don't even know the meaning of the word.

This entire post reads like an observation through the window of mom's Mercedes.

Damn that is a great way to describe the kind of privileged ignorance and lack of empathy seen here. I'll be using this later.

Isn't it AI?

Is anyone surprised by this?

Sophisticated PC gamers: "Graphics aren't that important. The surge of indie games has shown that fun gameplay is really the only important factor. If big companies really cared, they would spend more time making sure their game was enjoyable to play rather than worrying about dumb things like hair physics and background animations."

Also sophisticated PC gamers: "OMG the new Pokemon game looks like CRAP! Why would anyone bother to play such an ugly game that looks like it came out 10 years ago?!"

Only for the small percentage of people who follow news about gaming companies. Vast majority of people haven't heard anything negative, let alone do they give a shit. They might have ruined their reputation for you, personally; but they're going to do just fine. Nintendo has shown that it doesn't really matter what your company culture is or what practices you engage in; if you make fun games that are fun, people will buy them.

I'm always extremely wary of post-mortem criticisms of hated figures. Especially when that criticism is about physical characteristics. Just way too many instances in history of people making shit up after the fact like "and he had a small penis too!". Take the supposed autopsy of King Charles II of Spain which includes such gems as his body "did not contain a single drop of blood", that his heart was the "size of a peppercorn", and he had "a single testicle, black as coal".

Not saying the people making these claims on Hitler are wrong, but it sounds very similar to other instances of historians not letting the truth get in the way of a good story.

Yea, it's an honest mistake that could happen to anyone! I mean, who among us HASN'T ordered an online prostitute who we thought was barely legal that turned out to be underage? There's no way to avoid it!

Here's a little thought experiment: If someone offered you a magical pill that could keep you healthy and fit and you never had to work out again, would you take it?

If the answer is yes, then it's because while you may like the results of working out; deep down you know the actual act of working out fucking sucks. If such a pill existed, you wouldn't keep lifting weights or running on a treadmill just for the hell of it.

It's fine to like the results of working out. Hell, I like the results. I like being healthy. I like not having heart problems. But I'm not going to fucking delude myself like a gullible idiot and say that what it takes to achieve those things is somehow enjoyable. Because it's not. Working out is fucking awful. Just because it's the only option doesn't mean I have to pretend to like it.

Golly gee, you're telling me that the reason I dislike the shitty activity that sucks and make me feel terrible is only because I'm forced to do the shitty activity that sucks and makes me feel terrible? You're saying that if I trick my brain into thinking that the shitty activity that sucks and makes me feel terrible somehow isn't shitty, doesn't suck, and doesn't make me feel terrible; I'll somehow believe it? Sorry, my brain doesn't work like that. It tends to reject blatant fucking lies, especially when they come from myself.

I'm sure there are people who practice self-flangellation that have convinced themselves that they like it. Doesn't make it any less of a stupid activity that anyone with sense would recognize is fucking awful.

I bet you're also a morning person who just doesn't understand why people struggle waking up and being productive.

This is a fucking lie. I work out to keep my blood pressure down and I HATE it. Every fucking day I hate it. "IT wIlL feEL WeIrD NOT tO HiT tHe gYm-" fuck off. No it doesn't. Every second I'm at the gym I wish I could be laying down relaxing. It also doesn't get easier. Oh the workouts do, but the motivation to go? The awful post-workout routine of being exhausted and needing to shower but STILL having to cook and do all the household chores that need to get done that day? The desire to do ANYTHING else besides go to the gym? That does NOT get easier.

I'm so fucking tired of working out. If I didn't have blood pressure issues, there is no way in hell I would subject myself to that BS 5/7 days of the week. There is no enjoyment from this activity. People talk about post-workout endorphins and I feel like they have to be bullshitting because I've never felt anything of the sort. Just a vague relief that it's over... At least for that day.
