  Street Fighter. It’s fantastically bad.

  Huh?? If a streaming site (or any product for that matter) is free, the user is the product - be it their time, personal info, whatever. It is known and accepted that a “free” service will have a catch that allows the provider to make money.

  If a user PAYS for a service it is expected that the payment is enough remuneration for there to be no strings attached. Of course companies will look for shitty ways to do shitty things to make more money, and those companies ought to be punished, generally by a reduction in customers, for their shitty behaviour.

  There’s always the Opportunity rover one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is fucked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say waiting for an ambulance while a loved one dies in front of you just because assholes wouldn’t get out of the way is more annoying. No doubt followed by some health insurance bullshit that makes zero sense in any other country. But no, it’s the tourist who’s wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone remember how popular the group Head Cleaner was?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!

  Doing payroll would be you performing a transaction in another country to people in that other country. At no point are you performing work where you receive remuneration in the country you’re visiting - which is the point of working visas. Just because you did a bit of paperwork for your work back home doesn’t mean you’re violating tourist visa conditions.

  3. Would have been 2 but I was a member of Video Ezy.

  But not if they’re the ones doing the illegal stuff, apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “We the people” voted for it! There was no big reveal after the election; it was well known that Project 2025 was the goal. Anyone who says otherwise had their head in the sand for the last 6 months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d suggest they know growth of the platforms is waning, if not going backwards, but if they create a heap of bots and call them “active users” then the share price won’t go down. That’s the only reason I can think of.

  They have a concept of quitting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who was our worst Prime Minister and why? Any notable state leaders we need to add?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even better, the state government STILL subsidies these private companies that now own once-public property. I am so fucking sick of every bill I get being about $200 before counting any usage I may have had. This is simply not sustainable, and would be easily fixable if all utilities were state-owned.

  In this part of the country?
