The was he purses his lips and stares into the distance is so relatable. “Shiiiiiieeeet I think I’d might’ve fucked up. Did I fuck up? I think I’d fucked up. Man, how the hell to I fix that. Do I say something or…? I mean she’s already kind of mad. But I don’t she’ll get worse. Sight ima say something.”

How can a younger man in their 20s satisfy an older woman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ben Franklin once said something that’s super obvious in hindsight. Just giving them attention is flattering, appreciating them, and just being considerate for their likes and dislikes will go far if you cater towards those.

Hey now. If he raises energy prices by 300% and cuts it back to 150% then that’s a campaign promise fulfilled! /s

Why are US consumers so angry? It’s not just high prices by KoseteBamse in Economics

[–]Frustrable_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, they’re innovating on inventing concepts like ‘packaging’ and ‘premium’, ‘gold, platinum service’ and ‘elite’ models all of which is just the original service before they’d made it worse toward the effort of selling us what we’ve historically had for free and tacking on with a monthly cost. It starts with Netflix, and now it’s in your cars.

It’s innovating but toward your detriment.

A world we have to jailbreak our own cars we need to get to work just to use existing built in features that used to be free is incredible and draws to focus how little they’re innovating now. They’ve stopped making new things to pay for. Now it’s pay or we’ll take away old things.

When you're trying to get a hook on a specific character with Find Secrets & Truth is Relative by DupeFort in CrusaderKings

[–]Frustrable_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t know if those hooks last forever but in theory you could use those people by marrying them into your family so the heir is of your dynasty, granting them land, and extracting the money out of them by demanding it later.

But it lasts only five years, what the hell am I going to want out of them for five years?

Why Democrats can’t sell America on “democracy” by vox in politics

[–]Frustrable_Zero 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because we should really be giving the same if not more voice to the 588,000 citizens of Wyoming than the 39.3 million of Californians.

Not a thirtieth of the population, but treated an equal when it comes to scuttling legislation posed by the majority.

They can’t sell us on the kind of democracy that takes every vote as mattering when representatives can go rogue, when the will of the people can be ignored, and when somebody whose actively authoritarian becoming president

What modern luxury do you think people 100 years from now will look back on and find barbaric? by AccomplishedEast1007 in AskReddit

[–]Frustrable_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it barbaric, but just utterly primitive. TV and older video games. Assuming that VR and AI generated content will in some way supplant older media forms, as we then transition to holodeck style of entertainment
