The whole point of this lawsuit was to try and torpedo the Internet Archive. Would’ve been nice to know the explicit results from whatever settlement was reached. Was it for IA to just remove and ban the account that uploaded the works? I’ve no idea.

Either way, just the music labels making up numbers as usual to make the battle look unwinnable. Fucking pricks.

Here’s the thing and people are gonna not like it but I don’t care.

Charlie Kirk now is going to be treated like a martyr for a while, a vessel of any and all actions partaken from the conservatives. So, they’ll just be fueled now to take up arms against their opponents as if they aren’t in control of everything when their party affiliation already is.

I would’ve wanted the places swapped and Luigi is the one killed, because then his martyrdom would empower the people that should be the ones making the big changes against people who think like Charlie Kirk and abide by whatever this current administration is about.

I mean the contrast between both cases is glaring.

One day or another, the government is going to shut down ANYWAYS because of how unstable just everything is with them. It’s bound to happen. So why not do it now instead of these power-play moves?

Precisely. They’re a thought-filter. They want to weed out the ones who can prove them wrong and only address the ones who’re aligned with their set of beliefs.

Really? People are going to make a huge deal out of not being able to play “Incest Daughters BDSM”? Is that how far we’ve fallen off of the wagon as to what games we prioritize in getting removed? Fucking really?

Anyone who is in such an uproar about that kind of quality being removed, ought to get your priorities in check.

This is my birth month and I was looking forward to picking up this bundle for my birthday. But, I wasn’t impressed with the selections here.

WWE2K25, the quality of the series has slipped, year after year. They are the only game series I know of, that can’t even make hair graphics look good. Destiny 2, this is just a glorified DLC/MTX-feely kind of package, for an otherwise FREE game. Return to Monkey Island feels like a shallow cash-grab, I hate that art design. Grapple Dog looks like just a cheapo game, not bundle-worthy.

Everything else doesn’t appeal to me. Hell, there weren’t even any games that both could benefit me or anyone I know that’d like a copy of. That is when I knew this bundle sucked. Ruined the birthmonth mood for me. Fucking IGN…

Stupid.

Instead of you know, taking the games that were good on that system and re-releasing them as they should have been. They do this.

This was the system that made Nintendo so ashamed, they wouldn’t even address or know of its existence until years later.

You mean…they’re not transgender?! Who’d thunk it?!

Just mark one up against the stupid “a lot” response Kirk made when asked how many transgender shooters are out there.

Google and Privacy can’t exist in the same sentence.

So, imagine your machine is one of those Dell Optiplex contraptions of the 2000s and even early 2010s.

Those machines sucked for the reason that, their components were tightly compacted, very little wiggle room to do anything in, upgrading anything was next to impossible because everything had to be low-profile to even fit into the case, everything was a dust/heat nightmare waiting to happen.

Just so many vulnerabilities in those machines are exactly what you could be facing if you go this route.

Yeah. I mean, I remembered seeing someone named awkwardturtle on there and they moderated like some 30+ subreddits? That’s ridiculous.

Users like that should not have that much power.

Judging by how they want Jim Crow-era laws back, we can assume they want the 1870 ~ 1959 period back.

But honestly, they are fascists. They want do what the Nazis did except more Amercianized. Sure we won’t have dedicated labor camps or extermination camps in our country. But, we’ll happily blitz through laws to be passed that’ll make it harder and harder for LGBTQ people to have rights. Don’t like middle-class? No problem! We’ll just orchestrate a system with our trusty friend, Capitalism, that’ll make it harder for things to be affordable for them.

Laws? What laws? lol, only for those who can’t afford to break them. Rules and Accountability? Lol, what’s that? That’s only for those people who’re tied to this silly concept called morals and karma.

That’s America for you.

Spotify is dogshit. The amount they limit you on a free account is abysmal and should be illegal. 6 skips a day, shuffle is ass, 2 - 4 ads per song, they lie about you having 30 minutes a break from ads because I experienced having 3 uninterrupted songs, then about 2 ads in between then a few more songs and that all doesn’t total to 30 minutes.

Why do people like this shit? They willingly pay Joe Rogan far more than he’s actually worth (he’s a glorified talking-head who appeals to a certain demographic) while kicking away numerous staff that bother try retaining this shit app. Crashes and drains your phone’s battery in minutes.

I wouldn’t say broken for months, it’s been broken.

Where I was going with that is if you’re going to bother investing in an argument you know is a waste of time with these kinds of people, it is kind of shameful. That is basing what you already know to be factual. Double-checking isn’t wrong either but again, doesn’t apply to people who’re not open-minded.

Uh, yeah? Just because I didn’t mention it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

“Awww, Comick is shutting down”

“OH BY THE WAY…!” This. lol

Gotta love piracy.

Yes. All it takes is squeezing the gun, aim and fire. Again, not hard to do. You’re not going to hit your target all the time unless you try focusing, but my point still stands.

It’s really a no brainer in how to use guns. The part that really determines how well they can use a gun is how fast they can reload like a trained marksman who spends considerable time at a shooting range. That and how well they can prevent some guns from jamming.

But taking one, knowing it is loaded and just shooting away, that’s a no brainer. Anyone can do it.

Demisexual. You’ve described it right out of the gate.

My firm belief on technology is that it is in the hands of the wrong people who don’t care and in some cases it is in the hands of the right people, but wasted on a generation that don’t fully embrace it. It’s a double-edged sword matter.
