If cloud gaming is all that's available, read books, go for walks, hang out with friends instead. Do what we did before the internet. Do not let them win, stop using it.

I said the same for Amazon (personally ordered 1 item from Amazon, received maybe 5 items from Amazon as gifts, I otherwise do not use them but I am 1 insignificant point well outside the graph) and expect the same results

Certain hobbies just aren't supported locally anymore. And if they are they're at ridiculously inflated prices. I always check nearby first but 90% of the time I end up ordering online. Half the time when I do, the place I order from charges 10-15 dollars for shipping, or redirects to Amazon to complete the order anyway.

I put a lot of work in to not using Amazon, and frequently find myself with little else in the way of choice. I fucking hate it.

I feel you there. I have said this from the beginning but everyone said I was overreacting and here we are, and they are in it up to their eyeballs. Even my gf orders a ton from there, thankfully I have few needs and am a bad capitalist

You of today can't help being illiterate today, but you can make it so you don't stay illiterate. Unless you're like blind or something, in which case get rekt by us deaf folks

You wouldn't be suggesting they're a damn dirty no good liar, would you? :P
