“Bored of peace” coalition

I visited the public static void and returned with nothing but deprecative looks.

Void gift cards

They have been hired predominantly because of their ability to not question what they are told.

They arrived at a somewhat defendable decision despite the AI slop though.

Probably should have been a limited number of fans allowed, the number based on the ability to protect them with the police resources available at the time.

Ok, I disagree with Cory Doctorow due to the modus operandi of any tech organisation trying to turn a profit in a late stage capitalistic society along with the more detailed reasons others have provided in this post.

And I’m tired of the Guardian publishing hopium articles.

Getting pretty tired of the Guardian’s copium tbh.

Yes Trump literally said in his speech that’s what it’s about, they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Fascists, mostly.

I see the ongoing slide into labelling anything mildy analytical as autistic is in full swing.

Steam box price and release date, more Slay the Spire 2 info, next Zelda teaser. All very unlikely.

Good news

Hate to break it to you but sending them job openings and code camps counts as bringing this up.

Ok but if they are smart like OP claims they will surely already know they’re unlikely to have money if they don’t get a job at some point. If OP keeps bringing that up it’s pretty condescending.

What if they are unhappy and working would make them unhappier?

Ok fair enough, for social interactions, board games would probably be better than video games but perhaps they are more introverted than OP.

I’m sure OP has good intentions but as others have said you can’t push your vision of healthy living on others, they have to come to that conclusion themselves. Apparantly these friends are smart so likely know the health effects of a sedentry lifestyle and that’s their choice.

The tone of writing is quite condescending pretending those of us that have jobs or other hobbies live in some kind of work-happy socially integrated utopia.

I think about that all the time personally and think those sort of jobs should be the highest paying.

But getting an average 40 hour per week office job is not helping those sorts of things whatsoever, it will just be increasing profit for shareholders.

“What have they done with their lives up until this point?”

Sounds like they’ve lived a nice if somewhat sheltered life close to their family playing games. Maybe at some point they might get bored of that or want more money and venture out into the world but that’s not up to you or OP to decide/judge, it’s their life.
