  There is none I grew up with, so I can’t name a favorite either. Neither did we own the platforms most of the games released on. I only ever got into Star Trek later in life.

  It is a legit question. Usually you don’t have to pro-actively inform anyone that you disagree with anything, TOS included. That’s just what companies want you to believe since it benefits them greatly.

  No idea though how things in the U.S. are handled and if there are differences in certain states. It would surprise me though if that was actually an enforcable legal principle.

  You can’t hold a firm grasp on reality if it is distorted by your massive narcissism already. He thinks anyone but the bags of shit still on his platform care.

  Twitter never actually mattered and nothing of value will be lost. He can pound sand.

  Hold on there, voting conservatives into power is detrimental to the economy shocked Pikachu

  You seem like good people. I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend.

  You are getting mad at an internet post by a random person who has exactly zero credibility to begin with. I sourced nothing, I claimed nothing, I didn’t even pretend that any opinion I hold is of value. As much as I am for calling out shit and as much as I applaud you doing that if for no other reason than out of principle, why? Why don’t you use your brain against someone actually doing harm and argue with a shitpost done by a shitposter on a platform that is mostly about shitposting instead?

  All of that pointless stuff aside: Legal ≠ Right I hope you will agree with me on that. We’d like to pretend the rules we make up are just. We’d especially like to believe that if they are democratically legitimated someway or another, they must be morally okay. That is not the case. It never was and never will be. If you base your whole stance on something being legal, then that’s a huge issue in and of itself.

  At this point in history money is power is law. If you are rich enough, you have to be the utmost incompetent idiot around to do something blatantly illegal and get in trouble for it. I for one don’t think this is the way. So maybe a bit more anarchy from time to time would serve us all well to balance out rich people’s crap.

  Also: It’s a shitpost. A freaking shitpost. Vote it down and move on. I’d do the same if I didn’t think it would be worth engaging with you.

  Not gonna lie, I buy stuff on Amazon sometimes and despise myself for it. But I can’t and won’t ever use their search, it is absolute and utter garbage like the rest of the corporate internet.

  But it’s on the internet, it must be true!

  And jail time as well as taking their personal wealth. Or throw them in the middle of the Atlantic, both options are valid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not asking for much. Just break up Google and throw both the big shareholders as well as the executives in jail for the rest of their lifes. If you go as far and decide to take all their money and spend it on social services, healthcare and education for the general public, I wouldn’t be mad.

  Finally someone gets it. Can’t you please write a paper for those stupid anticapitalist EU representatives that made this freedom-hating shit up in the first place. Liberate the market! Leeches matter!

  I’d kindly ask you to shut the fuck up if the only thing you got to say is stupid shit.
