Nah, plenty of these people will look back fondly on their sports cars, cocaine and lush homes.

You sound like you're great at parties

You know this hobby of yours is directly or indirectly bad for the environment, for society (Middle East tensions, see 9/11), for road safety in case of SUVs that block view of children in front of it, for city planning, and I could go on. But still you're a "car person", so none of that matters.

Normal people will have to wait for you and other "car people" to die off for the planet to become a better place. Until then, you're actively making things worse.

You're worried it's not loud enough and that people will laugh at you in car shows?? You're part of the problem.

One day we'll know more about the Roman Empire than the early Web

The "tragedy of the commons" is misunderstood and maybe not even a thing https://aeon.co/essays/the-tragedy-of-the-commons-is-a-false-and-dangerous-myth

I'm getting real "people person" vibes here.

Boeing's stock kept rising in the last 10 years, because they were sacrificing what they should be doing for shareholder value. Stock price alone is not a good metric for companies.

I'm not supporting them, I haven't bought anything from Blizzard since the last Protoss SC2 game ages ago. But I don't want to lose access to my games.

It's not that easy. My Blizzard account is over 10 years old - never thought they'd go down hill so much. What's the solution, to never create accounts online anywhere? Even if a service looks good and you support it, a corporation like Activision can come along and have their asshole CEO infect everything.

Walking away from my account now means throwing away a lot of money spent on it.
