- I just want to stress: In any rational society this'd be enough to summon antitrust regulations like a bat out of hell. They literally evaluated their own market control and decided they could provide an inferior service because of their de facto monopoly. Execs used to have nightmares like this.
- Just saw a gay man on the SkyLine with a Black Lives Matter banner photo crashing out about the evils of DEI and I'm going to go ahead and remind my White LGBT folks: Your allyship is measured in actions, not slogans, and the reason we default to side-eye is because of how fast it can evaporate.
- So, I *am* looking forward to Virtua Fighter 6, but I gotta say that naming a new character "Wolf Hawkfield" is giving Fighting Baseball vibes. 🤣

- Me: I want you to remember: There are people you probably felt did not treat you with the level of respect you deserved... Friend: ...buuuut...? Me: But what? That was a complete statement. I just wanted you to remember. Friend: ...I hate you. Me: I'm "people," by the way. Friend: Oh, I know.
- I maintain that if I open your replies and skim through and the vast majority or entirety of them are you disagreeing with strangers, that says VOLUMES about you as a walking source of misery and conflict, and you should wonder why any person would desire to know you.
- Also, if you disagree with me on this, don't quote-reply me. Take a screenshot and discuss it with people who want to know you exist. I'm not them.
- Shitting on music, art, fashion, and/or games because "we're in a crisis and should focus on serious things™️" is the "I'm not like other girls" of politics. It requires you to set aside all awareness of how those topics inform and intersect with serious things so you can feel better doing nothing.
