I have no idea what’s wrong with your brain.

The three situations are obviously not the same. We provided weapons to Ukraine…we didn’t invade the country.

It’d be nice if people stopped acting like fucking psychos.

Did people actually think we were attempting to help Iraq or Afghanistan? I mean I know that was the propaganda but invasion and forceful regime changes are hardly what I would consider aide.

How many great apes cover cancel culture in their sets?

Except the right to privacy isn’t an enshrined human right at all and this particular asshole would lobby government to make sure that any effort to make it one would fall flat.

I like to describe the aliens that attack you in factorio as environmentalists.

We need something in America to distract us from looking at the consequences of our actions.

COINCIDENCE? I think…so.

When anyone else has an actual right to privacy I’ll give a shit about Zuckerberg’s – who btw has done more to destroy privacy rights than perhaps any other human being in history – “right to privacy”.

I think it’s a mixture. I’ve quit watching news coverage on TV completely at this point, but I do still watch some more mainstream comedy shows (e.g. SNL, Colbert, After Midnight, etc). SNL’s latest episode illustrated this disconnect, especially with the opening sketch (a Nancy Grace impersonation basically saying “what’s wrong with people for liking the killer?”) and Chris Rock’s opening monologue. Rock started by talking seemingly sincerely about the CEO and how it must be terrible for his family, etc. and then said “Sometimes drug dealers get shot” or something similar.

There’s also a comedy narrative that is being established that I think is kind of mainstream media types coping with the reaction to the killing, which is that they’re saying “he’s only supported because he’s handsome”…but I really think they are out of the loop and many are truly surprised and/or still don’t understand the public’s reaction.

The fucking dumbass media will stay surprised by how people feel about this, and the working class people among them will feign shock for the cameras. But the reality is that CEOs have been screwing everyone else in the country raw dog for fucking decades, and nobody that works for a living and has lived in this country for a while is truly shocked by the support for Luigi.

I mean hell, to end last season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dennis had a daydream where he ripped a CEO’s heart out to reduce his blood pressure.

Yes

I’m not predicting anything above aside from it being different from 2017.

The first Trump presidency was a dumpster fire that was actively exploding daily until January 20th 2021. But I have “the advantage” of remembering all of the terrible shit that happened because my brain wasn’t ravaged by multiple rounds of COVID to “redpill” me.

Use the lower pressure settings to start and just get a feel for manipulating it around your mouth. I try to spray between my teeth and you can reach that gap from the sides as well as the bottom.

It’s not gonna be like the pussy hat protest times in 2017 when Trump was considered an aberration. He has less guardrails this go around and a supreme court that gave him immunity for basically anything he wants to do as long as he isn’t impeached and removed by Congress (though I don’t see how Congress can impeach him and remove him when he could likely kill congressmen as an official act).

Your attitude of “it wasn’t so bad” was shared by the American electorate who didn’t pay attention to the daily occurrences in his first term and assumed people were being hyperbolic. But the reality is that he’s older, dumber, and more unhinged than he was in his first term, and he promised terrible things his whole campaign and will have nothing stopping him from trying them.

No

He was quoted out of context. He wants to separately eliminate daylight, savings, and time.

I have a PS5 because it will play the damned games. There’s nothing in the PC realm for $400 I could buy that could come close to guaranteeing the same thing. Consoles don’t exist because people are stupid, they exist because gaming and GPU companies are cartels just like almost every other sector of the economy.

It provides an extremely theoretical motive for people to do the abuse, that is unlikely to materialize in reality.

Yeah, this whole argument seems like a theoretical spurious hypothetical.

The dude in the video is acting like this is completely legal too, when all of the abuse is already illegal and the authorities just cannot prevent it because of the scale and size of the Internet combined with their own ineptitude.

If I’m in the business generally of blowing up and attacking company servers, why would I suddenly want to pivot to hosting monetized game servers? That’s an entirely different business. The whole thing strikes me as “OH NOES SOMEBODY MIGHT MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES!!!”.

Centralized, proprietary servers for games other than subscription MMO games are complete and utter bullshit. Either make the game a subscription and keep all of it server-side, or allow people to host the servers and stop acting like assholes.
