People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.
You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.
plenty of people working in teaching/education are rabidly anti-intellectual. and lots of people in life are rabidly-hypocritical.
the irony here too was the few people i met like this, also lectured me on my ‘problematic’ choices of reading material not being woke enough. like i had this date with an English teacher who went off on me for 30m about how racist/sexist I was for not being intimately familiar with Toni Morrison, and when I asked her when the last time she read it, it was 15+ years ago in college… the irony was just… so insane. she was going at me for not having read a book she read in college for coursework…
it’s just all weird flexes all the way down sometimes with some people.
