Probably best to derisk the situation for Brazil and give this guy the death penalty

I think most people are using those to consume content from people they don’t know.
- Comment on Baby boomers want to axe property taxes. Millennials and Gen Z would pay for it. 6 days ago:
I understand the politics of it, but that doesn’t change what the right thing to do is economically.
- Comment on Baby boomers want to axe property taxes. Millennials and Gen Z would pay for it. 6 days ago:
Property taxes should act as a mechanism to promote increased density. If you can’t afford the property taxes on your land, that’s probably a sign that more people should be living on that land.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 1 week ago:
These people have made a bajillion Assassin’s Creed games. I guess sequels excite the existing player base, but I always felt that was a double edge sword because they often fail to engage new players. I personally missed Assassin’s Creed 1 through 8636292, so it’s hard to see why I should start at 8636293. Also, I’m think existing players also get tired of a franchise some times and aren’t always excited for the next one.
- Comment on Nightdive recently showed off Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster footage in a dev diary video 1 week ago:
Outlaws is a classic. The soundtrack still holds up too.

I hate them. They’re loud and annoying and get stuck on things. I can vacuum my house a lot faster.

But they did name it after a daft punk song

Yeah…
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 1 week ago:
Steam Frame is interesting. Would love a non-Meta VR headset that doesn’t cost $1k and also doesn’t have a million wires and base stations.

Still haven’t found a game I want to play
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 weeks ago:
I personally didn’t love the atmosphere of this game. Didn’t feel very doom like. The gameplay mechanics are also different, but I got used to them. The game is turning more and more into a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar hero where you need to do the right attack at the right time depending on what enemy you’re dealing with.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 weeks ago:
Took me awhile to get into it. I did eventually finish it. My criticism of the game was more that the dungeons aren’t really all that challenging and are mostly just places where the story advances. Not many puzzles or fights. You just do your fighting out in the open world. Also, eventually the fights are easy as you learn how to fight each type. Eventually you just avoid confrontations because they’re just time consuming.

If you think there is something to cite in the privacy policy, go ahead and cite it. It’s not my job to make your argument for you.
In reality, I think you’re being deliberately obtuse because you want to defend Google’s business practices for some reason. You’re conflating the way Google collects sensitive user information for the purpose of advertising in every single one of its products, including from non-Google apps and webpages with some technicality around verbiage in a privacy policy, which you have not even cited yourself.

Apple doesn’t have a search engine
- Comment on How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device 3 weeks ago:
You’re talking about services? That’s like Apple Music, TV, iCloud storage, etc. That’s different from Google scanning your emails to extract purchase information from order confirmations, logging all search activity, etc.
- Comment on Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem. 3 weeks ago:
That’s not a conspiracy. It’s been confirmed. The head of ads forced the search team to make search worse so people would search more and see more ads. There is no reason to use google search, they want it to suck.

I would either get a pixel and put graphene os on it, or just get the iPhone. Android is trash for privacy.

The biggest impediment at this point is anti-cheat. Can’t play many AAA games because of that.
