That’s my point. There’s absolutely no winning for the Democrats here, no matter the outcome. They’ll be blamed for shutting down the government and all the subsequent shit Trump breaks in the aftermath, or they’ll be blamed for ‘giving in’ and letting Obamacare die.

Well it’s sure as shit not democratic politicians, so what exactly is your point here?

The problem is that the ‘blame’ is determined by the media. The Dems can blame Republicans all they want, but if the big media players frame it as their fault, all the idiots not paying attention will fall right in line.

That’s kinda bullshit though. There are plenty of cheap, and free concerts. There are other options, one company does not own every event venue in the country.

It’s like claiming Nabisco has a monopoly on cookies cause you can only buy ‘Oreos’ from the Nabisco company. Just buy a different cookie!

Jail is often used as a scheduled punishment for lesser crimes. Severe traffic violations, minor possession charges, that kind of thing. You might get sentenced to a week of jail time, but you can have it scheduled around work/custody visitation/school. So you might serve a day or two at a time over the course of a couple weeks.

These kinds of punishments can easily be postponed in unusual circumstances.

You’re inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.

Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.

Honestly I don’t know why I’m bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.

And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you’re dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?

I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don’t have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren’t convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.

The hypocrisy of claiming that you can’t judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you’ve never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.

Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.

You’re judging the gaming habits of the entire population of Lemmy based on a couple anecdotes from random threads? And you want to talk about not making snap judgements?
