You obviously don’t even know how it works.

when the servers are down, you’re fucked regardless.

As long as you keep the files you don’t have to access their servers to play it again. That’s exactly the same as even physical media. It’s not like a company will send you a new DVD for free if you throw out the one you bought.

when their servers are offline, you can’t download it anymore…

I have no idea what else you would be expecting?

I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough. Guess not.

Sounds like a good reason to seize greater control of the Internet other people’s computers.

Justin’s dad was such a stud!

Like a limited ‘fake’ world edifice structured through legal fictions like money, debt and contracts, which attempts to assert that it is significantly more powerful and pervasive than it actually is, through stories like The Matrix, to instill a sense of hopelessness upon anyone who even considers not submitting to it.

It’s literally propaganda straight out of the Chinese Communist Party’s playbook, and useful idiots repeat it for them.

Be careful of joining in on overly-broad generalizations.

Largely because it’s very obviously being used as a political propaganda tool, and any criticism at all is being treated as a horrific crime. Often by the same people who are viciously aggressive in their criticisms of otherwise quite ordinary segments of society.

That might actually be the most suspicious possible scenario you could have come up with.

I don’t think people would take it as anything else, regardless of what the media might say. Which is why I’m saying that some of you idiots need to appreciate the gravity of the situation.

Well if the second president who has openly opposed the CIA is also assassinated, people might be a wee bit ticked off.

I don’t think you’d be in a very good mood for very long if that happened.

Some of you idiots need to wake up to the gravity of these situations. I hope you manage to wake yourselves up.

Talked to a mason once who informed me that one of the first rules they have is to never watch TV or listen to the radio.

Take that as you will.

Usually. But if the premise is particularly stupid I might choose to prompt the speaker to actually think about what they’ve said for a moment.

Or you could just read any of the numerous other comments here which offer other explanations.

Do you seriously need someone to explain to you why there are multiple words with similar meanings in the world?

Hear me out:

Maybe everything isn’t some conspiracy to hate others.

Well they’re the only ones that matter, after all.

I’m talking about how the united states would gather AMERICAN CITIZENS who have comitted no crimes whatsoever, send them to camps, and have them mass killed

User name checks out.

Because society is so terrified of the technologies we have created that it has adopted the ideal that everything needs to be perfect right here and now, and so any deviation from acting out that Utopian fantasy is met harshly, even though it’s obviously not true to any rational person.
