Must be nice to say from your private Hawaiian island
- Comment on What a shocker! 2 days ago:
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with me! I’m sorry those things happened to you and that it had an effect on the way you play in the end.

A lot of the rules were in place to attempt to discourage some of the atrocious behavior I was subjected to.
No doubt, but I don’t think microsoft spends money on that because they altruistically care about your online safety, I think they do it because they are pressured by monetary reasons.
I played a lot of Halo on Xbox live as a teenage girl in the late 2000’s. I sincerely wish they were more stringent about cracking down on assholes.
I appreciate your perspective, thank you for sharing your experience.
One thing I don’t understand is why the built in tools for self managing are insufficient, such as mute and block. If willing, I would be open to hearing your experience with that.
I was never on XBL really, but I’ve been a PC users on counterstrike and league of legends since their inceptions. I can’t say if one service is worse than another but I did watch the efforts to stamp down toxicity over time. I don’t know how successful these efforts were, it seemed futile at best.
Would you share if you feel the current efforts from services like this are effective in making you feel like it’s a safer place for you to game?
- Comment on What a shocker! 3 days ago:
The problem starts with these companies feeling obligated to police what you can say over chat. Just to be clear it’s advertisers and payment services that necessitate that. The whole thing about trying to force a “non-toxic community” is a gaslight.

Hey babe can you get my pants shirt from my closet? I need it to go with my shirt pants.

Seems like teenage edgelords refusing to wear deodorant to save the environment.
First time on the Internet?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Web browsers for password management is a mistake. You cannot change my mind. It’s one thing to say better then nothing and offer the option, it’s another to say this is the only way.

It’s more than that. Media plays instantly because it’s already downloaded, cached and served over https. No waiting for files to finish.

Your son is smart.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 3 months ago:
This email is talking to you as a user of other libraries not yours, not as a server owner.
“Alternatively, server owners can purchase a Plex Pass, which will grant you continued remote streaming of libraries that you have been given access to.”
- Comment on Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away 3 months ago:
Yep instead of lowering rent because your unit is unaffordable you just buy up and rent them all out creating housing scarcity and prices will increase right up until the point ppl can’t afford to vacation anymore… Which is pretty much now anyway.
The Snake is going to eat it’s tail.
- Comment on Shower drains and storm drains are the same thing in theory but not practice 4 months ago:
Depends on where you live. In central New Jersey a lot of storm water from the streets is a separate system that heads back into the rivers or whatever whatershed. Where as sewage from your home or business drain goes to sewage treatment processing.
- Comment on EA just released source code for a bunch of old Command and Conquer games, and added Steam Workshop support to bangers like C&C 3: Tiberium Wars 5 months ago:
God I wish EA had never bought Westwood. They used to make bangers. That was the start of enshittification. We knew it was shitty back then and it never really stopped being shit. 30 years later EA pretends to be good by releasing source. Kind of meaningless.

“If we don’t cater to the billionaires they will leave and take their money”
Oh no… Please… Don’t go. Noooooo…
- Comment on HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls 5 months ago:
Imagine thinking people want to call someone. The reason they are calling is because your digital support was insufficient.

Diff smell.
I call this ‘outside’ smell and you can smell it on a clear day.

Not my jam, lacks the power of the original.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 10 months ago:
Reddit is already dead, the corporate AI shell is all that remains amongst some folk who dont realize everyone is a bot or an idiot.
/r/android used to be one of the hottest subs - it’s literally just posts from the same 2 OPs linking to their professional news articles.
