Nagware has been around since the 80s and it was just as annoying then even without this bloated corporate hellscape we call the internet 🙁

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to the airport waiting for the naked scanner and been part of a group tahen thru the metal detector instead and let thru. I don’t even have to opt out of the scanner for the pat down.

As an American I wondered when the police would be made the victims and the actual victim would either get shot or arrested and blamed.

Rich kids at private schools aren’t wasting time vaping. They have cocaine they bought off someone on the faculty or brought in from mommy and daddy’s stash at home.

There’s even a Brownsville Station song about it

Tell that to Microsoft. Lol.

Why the fuck do headphones require an app to run? Who thinks this is acceptable?

At work they don’t let us install ublock or FF so I’m stuck with stock Chrome and stock Microsoft Chrome 🙁

Or you could edit cookies with devtools.

Did someone have a stroke and be let loose upon that keyboard to type?

Standing up for your rights isn’t convenient, but it has to be done. Those that engineer this shit know that and make it as convoluted they can for this exact reason.

Always be on guard against those who would make you give up your rights voluntarily while giving up none of their own.

The difference is that if someone decides to freeze your cashless bank account they can by a mouse click and you’re destitute. Whereas if that happens in a cash-based society they have to come and get it from you.

Get a conservative business-focused person into the government and watch them give infinite money to business in the form of subsidies, bailouts, and tax breaks.

A cashless society is so stupid beyond words. In order to create one you must also create a full surveillance society to protect it, and even that would be ineffective to stop it from being hacked.

Both of them audibly and uncontrollably fart instead of just Donnie VonShitzenpantz

IIRC, the religion didn’t get anywhere is Palestine after Jesus supposedly died and it wasn’t until decades later that it picked up in and around Greece thanks to Paul, but no one was around that saw any of the events attributed to Jesus - it was all heresay.

I mean the bible is how many pages and how much of it actually takes place during Jesus’s life? And what is the timespan of the small part that does? Like a year? And the 4 gospels that talk about it are all rehashings of the same stories (more or less) and even contradict each other at times.

That’s a story with a lot of gaps and plot holes to base a belief system around - and that doesn’t even include all the baggage and hate that comes along with it.

People nowadays lose their mind and make death threats to the creators of stories that don’t fix or create new plot holes in canon. And we’re supposed to smile, nod, and happily accept one of the worst constructed stories ever just because some old white men that live the opposite way they tell us to live say so?

I don’t want either. If I miss out on something, life goes on. Half the fun is finding things out for myself.

Microcenter shares purchases with Facebook. Even when you shop at the store.

He told IGN that one of its upcoming titles, Space Marine 2, will retail for $70, but only because he’s concerned audiences would see a cheaper price as emblematic of poor quality.

Yipes. Saber should throw this minnow back in the water and cast that line out again for a bigger fish that knows anything about the videogame market.

When I see a $70 game my very first thought is an over-promised under-delivered mess barely beta quality that contains Denuvo or some other shitware that had higher priority to work at launch than the game itself. Not to mention a day one patch the size of the entire install, login servers that can’t handle the load, graphical glitches, and constant framerate drops.

That $30 game is $70 because it’s a hot genre and other no name shops a fraction of the size sold a million copies at $30 so this exec’s massive studio with its executive team’s millions of combined man-hours could sell it for $150 and gamers would buy it because the reputation alone is worth $100 per copy according to them.

Congrats on getting out!
