I’m not sure I’d call this “cheaping out” but unless you can’t even afford that or you have a specific reason you need a more expensive one, you should buy mid-range ($200 - $400) phones. The early '10s are over and mid-range is more than adequate for the average phone user. Plus quite a few mid-ranges still have expandable storage and/or headphone jacks.
All of the sixth gen ones. Dreamcast, PS2, OG Xbox, GameCube.
Also SNES and 3DS.
Until it actually boils over or we get rid of first past the post (and you’ll need MASSIVE protests to do the latter.)
Fuck accelerationists. They’re either dumbfucks who think their Apocalypse Badass Man fantasies will come true (and contrary to popular belief this person absolutely exists on the left,) or yuppies who know they have an easy out in the form of either a work visa in somewhere like Canada or leeching from a developing country working remotely and not contributing to where they live at all (and so many of these yuppies are self-proclaimed collectivists.) The rest of us are getting out of here in a casket or a refugee boat if it boils over. So how about we take at least a modicum of effort to take care of our society. Voting is the bare minimum.
All rhythm games and fighting games.
I’ll vote for a non-Zionist candidate in the primaries with no real expectation of them winning. But I will vote blue no matter who for national and state politics, and Working Families Party for local if any run.
Is “Genocide Joe” an accurate nickname? Yeah. But fuck that, it’s not like Trump will be any less zionist and third parties/independents don’t work in FPTP. I’m mixed race, I’m bisexual, I’m worried about worst case scenarios with a second Trump presidency (which is basically “what Trump is saying out loud” at this point,) and I am willing to vote in enlightened self-interest.
Metaverse. People literally only ever cared because Mark Zuckerberg was talking about it.
I’m certain dense human populations are better for the environment than non-dense human populations, because dense human populations need to be moved around less.
You’re basically advocating for human extinction in this comment.
It’s always the fuckin’ IQ tests with our friends in the “more civilized” world.
Those of us who don’t live in an “out of sight out of mind” fairytale and aren’t ignorant of the world enough to not realize the Internet has become an essential utility now, know that this would harm many of the groups negatively affected by hate speech probably more than hate speech does; many oppressed minority groups do not have access to quality education. Some of us are from countries or of ethnicities that have history with minimum IQ requirements for, say, voting. To say nothing of how IQ tests contain Western cultural biases and might not even actually be good at measuring intelligence.
Atheism isn’t a religion, but there are definitely forms of antitheism, such as New Atheism, that qualify as pseudoreligions.
Meta.
Amazon I’d advocate for the nationalization of, at least of AWS. Meta caused a genocide and just needs to go. There’s nothing they can provide that another company can’t. Yeah WhatsApp is entrenched in much of the world, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Teslas and cars that are trying to copy Tesla (Mustang Mach-E for example.)
Would maybe work in some places. I at least get the angle of encouraging people to order online less, if this were the situation I think more people would prefer to buy things from brick and mortar stores if they could find it. But in areas with car dependency problems it’d make life worse, particularly if the company decides it’s not profitable enough to put a package vault in a town or in reasonable distance of it, which I could absolutely see happening in rural areas of non-densely populated places.

I don’t trust people who don’t like oatmeal raisin cookies. And they aren’t even really hard to tell from chocolate chip, the texture is completely and visibly different!
I mean, the original SMB quadrilogy was one of the first remasters ever (they messed up the brick breaking physics in SMB1/LL though, so I prefer the original or a fixed ROM hack of All Stars for those.)
JSRF should get a modern port. I’m not sure it’d qualify as a remaster (does the PS3/360/PC port of the original JSR count as a remaster?) but it shouldn’t be stuck on failure-prone 20 year old hardware.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk… it’s a better game than the original JSR, but not nearly as good as JSRF IMO. Worse song selection and a lot more repetitive.
Most food items, minus vegetables.
Discord and SMS.
Xenophobia is an anti-intellectual trait.
