    If being unable to play FIFA is the single biggest problem in your life - your life has pretty much zero problems. It’s not the mom’s decision to buy a computer that screwed you over, bud - it’s your attitude about life in general. Nobody owes you anything, you want a better life go out and earn it.

      I don’t think I’ve ever heard the words “nobody owes you anything” from somebody who was a good person. Or understood how a society works. Or cared about their impact on other people at all.

        I would agree in the typical contexts of “no welfare for you, nobody owes you anything”, or “no food, education, or parental love for you kid, nobody owes you anything”.

        But we’re not talking about basic rights or the social contact. We’re talking about a fucking PlayStation & PC. No child is owed a fucking PS.

        Until today, that is. Now you’ve heard those words from someone who is the best person on earth. So this is really a great day for you! Now clearly I did care about my impact on you, see? This has been a good day.
