A better way to convey the original message would probably be

You're not depressed because there's something fundamentally wrong with you, you're depressed because there's something fundamentally wrong with the world.

Ackman said he was “gravely concerned” because he believed the left-wing candidate’s policies would be disastrous, triggering an exodus of the wealthy that would endanger New York’s public services by hollowing out its tax base.

Fake fucking news. Well all know the wealthy don't pay taxes.

Dont worry, Zuckerberg will find a way to funnel another few million dollars into one of Trump's new scams and suddenly WhatsApp will be a-okay.

Apparently it earned this dubious honor purely from marketing... It has a marketing budget of 1 billion dollars. But it's allegedly made 5 billion, so... guess it was worth it to someone.

"Then he said, 'I’m going to be very honest, we have been testing the game with players and the results are too good. They like it too much. That means something is wrong; we have to change something.' And he changed stuff in the script and the way some crucial stuff [happens] in the game because he thought his work was not polarizing and not triggering enough emotions."

Is he saying people thought the script was too good? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the first game... but never in a million years would I say that the script was good. Apparently Kojima is so allergic to good writing that he uses positive feedback as an excuse to self-sabotage.
