    Sorry, a double shift of one activity per day isn’t an addiction? If anybody is DOING anything for 16 hours straight, then that’s an addiction. Only exception I can think of is sleeping, but that’s only in very specific circumstances, and not for a prolonged period of time.

      I can only fantasize about 8 hours of sleep let alone 16.

        Does running auctions while doing other things count? Because, if so, I definitely hit 16+ hours in WoW some days. Semi-automated glyph relisting, undercutting by 1c.

        Then again, I hit the gold cap in Wrath, before I quit. So it was totally time well spent.

    That is the quote of a man who is thriving under deregulation. In the current political climate, huge corporations can do whatever the hell they want and blame their consumers. The EU still has some guardrails, so I am glad to live in Europe. However, as the car industry lobby already proved, those can be eroded as well.

    I want this guy to tell me how many hours a day you’d need to be high on heroine in order to be “addicted”.

    Sounds like something an addict would say.

    Joke’s aside though I’m happy with my meta-free life after leaving it all behind shortly after the last election results and it being clear that robot boy was (pretending to be) a fan of the orange man.

    Only thing I can’t leave yet is WhatsApp because my volunteering group won’t switch. They are mostly boomers so it’s really difficult to get them to move.

    So if later, when digging through company emails during some deposition, it turns out that this slithering lying snake obviously knew better, we will have proof that he knowingly and willingly harmed children for money.

    We will jail that fucker for life, then, right? All the world wide harm he has caused to so many kids? Of course we’ll do… Nothing.

    The owners of the company that gave us the opioid epidemic knew full well that people got addicted to their heroine, and were dying from it, making them push it even harder, because more money. How many of them saw jail time?

    None. We gave them a small tax on their ridiculous profits and they got a movie made where we make them look bad. Seriously, if somebody goes and shoot this entire family down, full Kristy noem doggy style, I would celebrate it as that person would have made the world a better place.

    There are vile, evil people out there
