r/place is like the absent minded salesmen trying to carry on the pitch as its going all wrong. Glorious. Given the curves on some of those S’, the next step is clear: Time to NSFW an S.

The worst of the lot is when the devs start leaving homages to them even when they are so toxic they are usually belittling the devs as well.

I mean, pretty spot on. I’m beginning to see games having cooperative instead of competitive multiplayer as a plus. But we still need to thank the wort of the lot for attracting all the toxic overcompetitive players from the rest of the games that have a mix of both.

In European countries, authorities and people use the GDPR to argue against dashcams, security cams recording public space, and even disseminating smartphone recordings on social media, whereas in the US not only is it a no-brainer that you can do it, it has been used to great effect in regards to recording and denouncing gross violations and abuses that European media has no problem reproducing on their news networks.

Tell me what European country you are from and I will look up the fines people have received by doing things they could freely do in the US to report abuses due to the GDPR.

That’s a million in SIM cards. And then people still go and mock anyone who dares suggest that troll factories are present in discussions.

if you think everyone should be able to offend anyone without effects, be it, i don’t agree

Sad that you don’t live by your own words, but unsurprising. And it was just 5 comments that had to be consistent with each other, too.

the left wings after years of cutting public services to bend to corporativism and ECB, leaving the country in the hands of all sort of migrants without doing anything for security, finally got what they deserve

YouTube Premium is that one streaming service I’ve never been attracted to. It surprises me people pay for it.The funny thing is most of my normal adblockers deal with YouTube’s ads even though they are not the reason I installed them.

You absolutely have data to hide. Data that can be used to rob your identity like your birth date and SSN, your financial statements that can make you the target of criminals, your various usernames and passwords, your medical history, etc. Next time they tell you this argument, ask them for this data since “they have nothing to hide”, and if they give it to you, you will know they are complete idiots whom you should probably move away from.

Maybe they have just added so many contradictions to its rules that it has figured out how to use them to become self-aware, and now just spends most of its time browsing dank memes before doing the minimum required to answer users to force them to have to ask again and give it more self-awareness processing time.

There’s probably a seriously petty reason behind it, like someone who also loved Oblivion also began to involve themselves with the development but were driven out or left because they were a petty troll about something. Placing my bets on someone finding out their cult of ideology idol was not universal, if only because that seems to be the statistically most common for pettiness nowadays.

A good analogue might be the taxi industry, which has fostered an industry accustomed to misleading its clients through a number of means because of an outdated means of charging for fares. In some countries, they require special licenses, and they’ve forced restrictions on companies like Uber and who can work for them. It’s a case of new industries versus the old ones, and once Uber made it through, they also paved the way for their alternatives.

It’s sort of the same with Amazon and e-commerce, except Amazon has much more cash flow available due to the reasons you’ve discussed. Traditional multinational chains say they are threatened, but maybe they should be and should consider innovating and letting the consumer experience they should expect be put into law.

Courts are usually the last vestiges of authoritarian power in democracies, having to rely on the authority of life-long (and politically) appointed supreme court judges after all recourses have been tried and done (which for you may not be many if you don’t have a wealth of cash), and they are at their worst when tied to money, power, and lack of public transparency. Most countries don’t even have jury systems in their courts and you can’t represent yourself within it. The predominance of mafias in Italy and their spread internationally is more than a hint of how ineffective and biased they can be.

I don’t. The ones who weren’t assholes usually didn’t mind standing behind the ones who did, and they got a heavy taste of their own medicine. Was it a tough job? Sure. Is that enough of a reason to allow those that do it to abuse it? Not really. At least here, it’s much easier to evolve past those issues, given the complicity with admins given how they wanted to sneak their own actions as those of moderators in some of the subs.

ESO doesn’t require you to buy the latest expansions to play them, they only require you to have an active subscription. Buying the expansions gives you the option to play them without the subscription.

FFXIV took after WoW, so no surprise there, but they also haven’t thrown away their earlier expansions either - in fact, to properly enjoy it, you should play through them in order, otherwise you are just rushing to an endgame of fashionwars for no reason.

The real reason this model persists is because MMO devs realize that they can milk a lot more from MMO addictions than from normal games, not because it needs to be.

Burned my Battle.Net account when they shat on Taiwan advocacy, not keen to return given all the bullshit that has continued popping up about their abusive workspace environment. Maybe they can go to GOG and shit on Devotion together?

My favorite XCOM experience is to load and save scum like a maniac only to discover I’m still hopelessly screwed in some later mission.

One of the main advantages of the federated medium is that providers can block the sources of gaslighting and propaganda and that users can move onto the ones that do.
