People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.

You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

    I know people who brag about not knowing how to drive. Or my aunt who doesnt know how to pump gas.

    I used to work with a guy who bragged that he had never mowed a lawn and neither would his son. I heard him repeat this years later, so it wasnt just some offhanded thing he said.

    Where I come from, these are not things to brag about.

      In general, people bragging about not knowing things. They think it makes them superior somehow to be deficient in knowledge

      I don’t know how to pump gas, and I blame myself for not leaving NJ enough.

      But at least I quarantined myself well here.

        there isn’t anything to know about pumping gas.

        do you know how to drink from squeeze water bottle? you know how to pump gas.

        the only part that can be problematic is if your car requires super or premium, and very few cars do anymore.
