that is a fascinating ruleHe emerged, and nothing interesting happened really, it was just a "don't take other people lunch" vs "it wasn't marked, I thought it was for everyone" (which is a rule here, no name, it's for everyone).
So, what did y'all think of that State of Play?
Are these the ones you're looking for?shit, outside and now this? gotta get those glasses backβ¦
Damn, I thought I was the only outspoken anti-Corporate America/American Capitalism member in here! xDYeah, they can, and thatβs true of talking to people or reading books. Itβs in everything. Itβs just more of a βdesirable careerβ now.
I had a VERY LONG rant prepared that traced the roots of the problem, spoke to the resilience and hazards of Gen Z, and the damaging wave of self-infantilizing materialism seared into millennials at 9/11
Tracing how the worst of conservative values have distilled forward, both with the nightmare right and in the purported liberals of the west β and how the Reagan eighties parent wave, multiplied by the panopticon of smartphone tracking, did these kids fuckinβ dirty
and how multi-level marketing has always banked on selling the individual on themselves β a lane that looks like meaningful influence in a world gone to hell that you canβt budge
camouflaged as βcounter-culturalβ to the bleak wasteland of commodity β while banking on that evangelism to sell sell sell
and though some of this is just forwarding bad advice, not products β itβs usually coming the same way, in sponsorships or community
so thatβs, uh, the very short version
but my big takeaway β specifically about MLM via influencers β is this:
the companies responsible want you to hate the influencers. doing so benefits the brand. always follow the money. know who your enemies are.
what the fuck do I mean by this?
if they sell the product / idea β the company profits
if they piss you off, and you denounce them, it reinforces the βoutsider evangelistβ strategy β theyβre special, not everyoneβs gonna like what they have to say, which is why itβs imperative to say it more
thatβs why theyβve always preyed on suburban housewives and gym bros β would your friends betray you to your face? people will want to help you out. if you confront them, your own tie to your community is at risk. thatβs why itβs so vile.
people are shittier on the internet, but the inverse of that is scale. so frustration with that influencer β stated β can embolden fans and ultimately the companies leveraging them
the second people like that have a crisis of faith or want to re-evaluate, itβs easy as hell for a company to reposition itself. either in a βyes of course itβs good to ask questions, hereβs counterpoint directly from usβ or a trickier denouncement
and likeβ¦ even if they are literally shilling the product, it doesnβt make them shills. Some part of them really wants to believe it β if thereβs an easy answer, a solution, people want that. companies love selling peopleβs own ideas back to them.
like yβall want COVID to be over, lmao, and itβs not, but if enough people say it is and they destroy the framework for easy, usable dataβ¦ yβall want to believe it.
this is getting LONG again, but I guess my point is that if you want to take these things down, you have to constantly dig at the roots.
it is profitable and calculated that youβll go after the people in between.
and I love holding grudges, but a lot of these influencers are human, and still young. Thereβs still some sliver of hope for them.
there are absolutely βget held accountableβ thresholds β and get held accountable actions. but always know what war youβre waging. you could be poised to dunk on some nineteen-year-old getting enough cash per month to pay for half their adderall scrip β and that dunk could make Multimillionaire Organic Wonder Powder Corp a quick $50,000 bonus
Are these the ones you're looking for?
They have milk, yogurt, fruit, and other stuff for anyone to take, and sometimes they bring sandwiches and stuff. So you have to put your name in your lunch to avoid any confusionthat is a fascinating rule
definitely not! but the uh⦠more ardent capitalists and centrists tend to float around other threads more often than hereDamn, I thought I was the only outspoken anti-Corporate America/American Capitalism member in here! xD
Kojima's career is at that stage where he can literally do no wrong.Two things in modern gaming I do not understand the appeal of:
- Shadow the Hedgehog
- Hideo Kojima
I always have an anti-capitalist rant in other threads at some point ;~;definitely not! but the uh⦠more ardent capitalists and centrists tend to float around other threads more often than here
oh yeah, absolutely! so do I!I always have an anti-capitalist rant in other threads at some point ;~;
Just inspired me that they should make a Segagaga sequel but itβs all pyramid schemes, current monetization strategies, and insider trading to get the company to the top.sonic should have gone to jail alongside yuji naka
so youβre decided, then?Gonna break out the big book of Poe stories and poems for the next thread.
the sequel to January is now in developmentyou're laughing. The month is dying and you're laughing

A miserable little pile of secretsWhat's the February ST?
And people think I'm weird by not joining in summoning the bean birdwow itβs actually not as fun when the whole presentation gets spoiled beforehand
Psh. Follow-up SoP on the 6th intensifies the likelihood of a Direct on the 7th.A Final Fantasy VII Rebirth state of Play is the most undesirable thing to tell me to look forward too.
the difference between pyoro and whoever leaked this stuff is that the bird actually tries to make it fun, this other person straight up named every game trying to be clever, and they sucked the fun out of the speculation (not that state of plays are actually fun to speculate about, idc about them nearly as much as i do directs)And people think I'm weird by not joining in summoning the bean bird
How about vine booms when you push theI see that the administration of this site, ignoring the will of the people, have yet to implement vine booms when you open spoilers. this is dereliction of duty.
Maybe Team January took over the calendar and declared it January 32nd in secret D:
