    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.

    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.

    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”.

    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.
