Internet tough guy over here. You go first.

If the choice is living on the street with your kids or living with your economically abusive boyfriend, most mothers will choose the safety of a roof over their children’s heads.

And to be clear, it’s not a gender thing or a heterosexual thing specifically, my example is just the most common one that I’ve seen personally in my life. At every shitty, cheap apartments I’ve ever lived in, there was always at least one couple matching this description, where a mother and her children were chained economically to some man not because she really loved him but because she needed his part of the income to take care of her children properly. Hell, it’s also the type of home I grew up in. However, I am sure there are plenty of men and LGBTQ+ people who end up being abused economically as well.

It looks like he’s shifting his knee forward uncomfortably because some weirdo in a Free Luigi shirt just slapped him on the ass.

This is how I end up suddenly getting the gumption to do chores at 3 in the morning.

Economic abuse is why affordable housing is a human rights issue.

Fuck it I honestly hope they do at this point. I’d love to see the USA corporate class knocked down a peg and brought down into the world they make everyone else live in and have to fight for scraps like we do. I’d like to see them lose all hope and chuck themselves out of windows like in the 1930s. The financialization of our economy has never left the citizenry more poor, and more than ever we have new and insidious technologies spying, listening, nudging, trying to create perfect complaint cow-like citizens. They all deserve to come down, the American business landscape is absolutely fucked and an absolute nightmare.

Sorry for the jaded cynicism about the whole thing. I’m probably just in a sour mood because I know the poor will get more untold suffering than the wealthy if it happens. There will be people starving in the streets while supermarkets put armed guards around food they throw away.

I came prepared for this.

How Valve sounds right now: “It’s totally cool to rip off kids with blind box stuff and get them addicted to gambling mechanics!”

I’m with you OP, we need to stop it in physical games as well. Just because Magic the Gathering does is and Labubu does it doesn’t make it okay. It actually just creates artificial scarcity and pushes children and the families providing them the money to gamble ever harder to get the rare drops, on the off chance that those are valuable.

Even Beanie Babies never stooped that low.

At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?

…May I see it?

Mother, may I have some more pixels?
