You should understand that terms are relative rather than zero income = normal while any more = rich. I’m currently in an underdeveloped country. I’m aware of what poverty is. But I also understand how words work.

In any case you’re missing the point entirely. Compared to many hobbies, gaming can be affordable. That is what was being discussed here. Besides hobbies like taking walks, you won’t find many that cost less than a few bucks a month.

Not really. It means you can save your money.

Hobbies cost money. Spending $1000 which can last 5-10 years doesn’t make anyone “rich”

Ah, one of those. You know you’re a spoiled asshole when “money to burn constantly” translates to “disposable income”. It’s definitely odd for the dude to spend that much money immediately, and it’s also weird that you are so defensive about it

What an absolutely braindead series of wastes of time

Cool, let’s. /nj

Mercurially

Yeah I’m sure you’ve never heard that wishing death on someone makes you a worse person. Because there’s just definitely no truth to that at all.

What the fuck is up with your brain?

You can pretend to not understand what I’m saying, fine.

You don’t need to ask this. You know what I’m saying. I’m not going to participate in you trying to excuse what you’re doing.

If I don’t hear or see them, how do they affect me, precisely?

So you don’t believe in subtlety or that you might ever miss something. Yikes.

EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ALIVE reacts the same to advertising.

That’s pretty insane and obviously no one is even remotely claiming that. If that were true then every ad campaign would have either a 100% success or failure rate. Given that you could just use a focus single person to try things out on, then every single ad campaign would work on every human. Tell me who is claiming this?

Yes I’m extremely “overconfident” because I claim that both you and I can be manipulated. Something so obviously true it’s silly id ever need to say it.

I have a feeling that overconfidence is an issue for you

Lol dude this is ridiculous. What one doesn’t expect is to be influenced by ads. So yeah, that’s one of the very few good points you make.

Standing up for confidently incorrect individuals is a silly waste of time. We all see and hear thousands of ads per year no matter how many we block. It is absurd to suggest that there are people who could be exposed to that much psychological manipulation and remain entirely unaffected.

Yes I’m sure you’ve never once seen an ad for a food or drink you already like, and then later purchased that food or drink because you started craving it over a period of a few hours. I’m sure you’ve never seen an ad for something you were already thinking of buying and then later bought it because the ad reminded you of it. Because you’re the one human in existence that is absolutely 100% impervious to any kind of influence whatsoever. What is it even like to be so confidently incorrect? Do you even think you’ve ever been wrong a single time about anything? That level of confidence is so foreign to me, I cannot fathom what it could possibly feel like.

That is a really long way to say “ads work”. I never said they always or usually work on any given individual.

Found the “ads don’t actually work” person that without fail is in every single thread about ads. They work on you. You’re not super human.

It doesn’t matter if people are ignorant or apathetic,

I don’t understand. That’s literally exactly what I wrote. I just didn’t know about the https aspect, which… acknowledged. My point stands, what he did was right regardless of the difference it made in the end.

People are still posting gleeful shit about his death. I don’t care what anyone says, that’s unhealthy.
