I get why everyone was so into Barry. this shit is prime. there's a poster in the background that says "RENT starring Gene Cousineau" and it's one of the funniest visuals I've ever seen

Responses to the We’re Done Playing Petition responses are often brutal. The layoffs game developers experience are shocking, callous, and wreak havoc on their lives, and the lives of the people closest to them.

it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.
