Yeah, but how would you actually define the term? You bring up issue with what you dub “corporate news agencies”, and then when I look up the news you point to here, I don’t know how what I get would feel any different, except for the fact it’s mainly presented as satirical.

That depends. How would you define a “corporate news agency”?

If you say so.

You do know what the bourgeoisie archetype/stereotype is, right? A person with a strong enough thirst for wealth that they will disregard all compassions and sensibilities to achieve it?

Saying the officials in the North Korean government using dying soldiers as instruments of material gain doesn’t ring bourgeoisie bells is like saying L Ron Hubbard building the world’s most elaborate artificial tithing system doesn’t ring bourgeoisie bells.

“Even if they die there it does not matter, because North Korea sent them out without officially recognizing them,” Lee said. “They were sent there not to bring honor to the country, but to give up their lives and bring back lots of money.”

Jake Paul, is that you?

No, but I have noticed that services with more advertising are typically of less quality, which often deters me because of that.

I remember when I was little thinking due to the commercials that Geico was the shit, but then my friend’s family got into a (fortunately harmless) car accident, and Geico did actual shit. Not that it’s not still fun to randomly insert Geico jokes everywhere.

Having seen the game played, I know the difficulty stabilizes itself around that point.

My page name, ShinigamiOokamiRyuu, is an amalgamation of different anime characters from anime whose characters I have cosplayed as.

My nickname (the thing that says “Call me Lenny/Leni”) is based on one of my nickname preferences. I have quite a few, my birth name being Valentina, which allows for a lot of nicknames (including Leni, which is one of the shorthands for Valentina, though Tina is the most popular) that get changed around depending on who I communicate with.

From what game?

Could you die as Imhotep? I’m getting Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy vibes from how you explain this.

Oh yeah I remember that one. Wouldn’t have been an issue if not for the bad steering of pods.

Reminds me of the time in a Pokemon game when a friend of mine caught Latias in one go only for the game to immediately freeze afterward with no explanation.

Tabuu or Mr. Game and Watch?

Back during the Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles craze, there was a third cereal in the line, a cinnamon themed one. I had that whenever I could, but it has been gone for years.

Boycotting as it’s often explained is one of those kinds of things I can only imagine myself doing as a last resort. One could say I have, for example, boycotted bananas since both of the major banana companies have a history of exploitation, but that wouldn’t necessarily be my mindset if, say, a provider of a tech service had questionable views and someone asked if I was going to use the service (which, at the same time, does not mean I don’t condemn the tech service provider).

…why?

Is that Linerider?

That doesn’t take the other ones out of the question though.

Not that one excuses the other.
