I’ll never get over how twitter was more upset about a videogame being associated with Jk Rowling than Disney supporting a genocidal regime by filming authoritarian propaganda right next to internment camps
@LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 owning a phone is a necessary evil in modern society in order to, you know, survive. spending money on haha funny wizard game isn't. glad i could clear that up for ya.
@elliethefiend @LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 You absolutely do not need a phone to survive. You need a phone to be comfortable and make life easier, but you don't need it to survive. That's like saying wifi should be considered a need and not a want.
@GAVITRAXart @LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 how are people supposed to get in contact with you quickly then? mail you a letter? drive to your house? in the digital age being able to keep in contact with people at a moments notice is key. while I’m not under any delusions that everyone needs the NEW IPHONE GIGASHIT MAX(1/2)
@GAVITRAXart @LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 a phone is absolutely a necessity when it comes to social contact in the modern era, and to not treat it as such is old-fashioned at best and delusional at worst. (2/2)
@elliethefiend @LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 That's not a need. That's a want. You need water, shelter, and food, or you will die. You don't need instant contact with anyone anywhere at anytime. That's a luxury.
@GAVITRAXart @LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 Yes it is a WANT, but it fulfills a NEED for societal communication that is innately desired by humanity. You don't need a phone in the same way you don't need toilet paper. While technically you could survive without it, you really really REALLY don't want to go without.
@elliethefiend @LeumasLeu @Bolverk15 Ok, what's the difference between that and a video game? If a game I'm excited for comes out, I really really don't want to go without it. But I don't need it.
