They're gatekeeping gaming and calling people who don't interact with games the way they do morons. It's childish and, whether it's wrong or not, rude. The upvotes are what gives gamers a bad name, though, not his statement.

I don't understand why people are piling on and blocking you. The comment you're replying to is whiny gatekeeping with a name-calling bow on top. They accuse this group of excluding themselves from "gamers" while calling them stupid and criticizing the way they entertain themselves. I don't know that I'd want to be in a group that talks about me like that, either.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but NEVER fly a drone near a transformer

It also suppresses people. Food is a human right, the way it is for every other animal. Why do rich assholes get to decide who has access to it? Is wealth a measure of whether or not someone should go hungry?

We lived happier (if not easier) lives before we begrudgingly adopted stationary agriculture as a response to unpredictable climates following the ice age. Those in power ensured agriculture (lock-and-key agriculture) remained because it was a reliable tool for suppression - its predictable harvest and consistent grain size make it useful for taxation. AND when you get your population hooked on grains you can instill a culture of weaning children earlier using oatmeal, meaning women can have babies more frequently (no longer lactating). The increase in population serves those in power by making their armies bigger and creating an impressionable population that you can further suppress with religion, etc.

Punish the brands that do it with boycotts, bad reviews and naming/shaming online. Call out the creative production and call them hacks. That must be why they're in advertising instead of making something someone would enjoy hearing.

I was talking about this with my wife. If it beeps when I'm in reverse and a car is 50 feet behind me then it's only training me to ignore the exact same beep that it makes when a person is approaching from my blind spot on foot.
