Hey look! The PC holdouts who refused to budge on PSN requirements are getting what they want!

Good job, I honestly thought Sony would be too stubborn to change. They must want more money on PC.

I wonder if this’ll still be restricted to only PSN markets, since the account is optional.

Well if we’re not gonna let them have immunity from future lawsuits, the least we can do is pay to defend them from the lawsuits we bring.

/S if it wasn’t fuckin obvious.

Sacklers should get the firing squad.

No, I’ll continue to deadname the Gulf.

people aren’t going to direct the anger they feel about the resulting disruptions at the top, they’ll direct it toward those workers.

People already direct the anger they feel towards democrats and minorities, so this isn’t that big of a deal, IMO.

The bigger challenge will be getting people who barely have any money as it is to actively participate in not making money. It just isn’t gonna happen. People are too broke to focus on anything else yet. Frankly, people aren’t desperate enough.

Well it sure as shit didn’t go to anything that actually helped people.

One gender for everyone!

Yep. We’re now at the point where AI is gonna burn money and only become marginally better.

The wealthy elite rather burn 500 billion on a gamble than feed the hungry of the needy.

Well this is gonna get taken down asap.

Maybe people can give up social media. I won’t hold my breath though. People are fuckin addicted.

I’m not abstaining from life for refusing to have an Instagram account, you dunce. And I’m done talking to you about it.

You can just leave. You don’t need to be concerned with businesses. They naturally chase money and will come up with alternative means of communicating if the tools they have now aren’t working as effectively as they need. They probably have a mailing list, or community bulletin board at the physical store that’s been woefully neglected by the social media users. And if they don’t, you can actively recommend it to your favorite businesses and the good ones will do it, or take the idea and make it better.

You don’t need to tell anyone you left. You don’t need to make a special profile pic and leave that up so everyone knows you left. Just leave. Stop caring about social media. I’ve been off of Facebook and Twitter for damn near two decades now, because even back then I saw how horrible it was for my focus, and mental health I still manage to keep up on events I care about, and in touch with the people that matter to me. It’s 100% possible but you gotta be the one to disengage. Even if no one else leaves, like I had in my case, the people who care will still reach out to you in the ways they can.

Granted I make throwaway accounts on federated social networks, but this scratches that itch for current info in the things I’m interested in.

Jesus you guys are fuckin addicted bad. Can’t leave Instagram lest you lose out on that oh so crucial dopamine hit from being in the know. People used to organize. You’ve given away the ability to do that when you don’t even know how to live without Facebook.

Do it, quit. Even if no one else does it. Stop relying on these tools.

Stop justifying using their services. Businesses should have multiple avenues to get the information you need. If they’re solely dependent on Meta, they won’t change unless people leave.

Lol not even a fuckin full day.

Do your service and convince your parents to leave every Meta product.

Hell, most still won’t admit he lost.

I think Ohio might be too racist to elect this guy.

I hope you’re right that things do actually stop.

I guess I’m just too cynical. I don’t think either Trump or Biden actually give a shit about perpetuating, stopping or even acknowledging genocide. I don’t think they have any ideological alignment other aligning to whichever lobbyist paid the most this week. Selling weapons is normal business for US, and we’ll continue to justify selling weapons whenever there’s money to be made.

You’re combining what I said with another commenter to make some weird argument about moving goalposts or some shit. I didn’t say anything of the sort. I just think it’s worth pointing out that Israel has broken their ceasefire agreements like hundreds of times. If you’re going to use the ceasefire as a benchmark, it’s probably important to know the context around previous ceasefires and how pointless they’ve been.

But hey. It sounds like you just wanna pat yourself on the back. You don’t need to respond to me to do that.

Oh yeah, duh. Because the Israeli government never broke a signed ceasefire before. I forgot. They always do what they say.

Say. Are you interested in sending me money to help build a bridge?
