    I, for one, think we live in a pretty good world if the thing that drives us to complain on the internet is a modest increase in price for entertainment goods once every 30 years. I’m not going to bemoan capitalism because I have to shell out a few more bucks for Mario Kart; that actual insanity






  • I honestly feel that anyone who complains about the price increase of AAA games just feels entitled to pay a certain price for a game.

    If the game is too expensive, then simply don’t buy it. If the real price of the game $60, then that’s what the market will tolerate. If it’s $80, then people will pay for that. Vote with your wallet, but don’t act like nintendo produces necessities; they make entertainment products. They could charge $800 for a game and your life would not be negatively impacted in any way



  • I think people fear violent death more than they fear accidental death. If american cities want more people to ride public transportation, they need to clean up public transportation. If you’ve been outside of the US you see how countries with far fewer resources than us do a lot more with their public transportation.

    They’re cleaner, less noisy, and the police will actually do something about antisocial behavior on the trains. Until we have something like that in thr US, I will avoid taking the bus
