I think people often hate steam for their success

I hate them for forcing me to use a kind of DRM which will stop working once their servers stop.

Halflife was just fine without steam. Adding steam seemed to be a way to stop players from sharing CD keys.

Maybe he thinks they are a “loser” and a “sucker” because they didn’t survive. Wouldn’t be the first time he said that about dead Americans.

Doesn’t this infringe on fair use? e.g. if i’m making a parody of something and I mimic the original even by using a portion of the original’s text word for word.

Everyone is so obsessed with having a monopoly over everything, it’s not what is best for 8 billion people.

Don’t get me started on the DNC and the fact that the voters really don’t have any real choice when it comes to who is elected.

I’ll never forgive them for screwing Bernie and handing the election to Trump by picking Hillary.

When less than 50% of the population wants to vote for you, it’s obvious you’re a garbage candidate.

Let’s get rid of the garbage candidates. Maybe there’s some adults under the age of 60 who aren’t total shitbags we can nominate.

“Way down” based on what poll exactly? Both of the candidates are within 2%, certainly within margin of error.

Biden isn’t really any different % wise than a month ago. Trump is up 1% from a month ago. It’s not like it’s 60/40, it’s 42/39.8

i’m so sorry.

2028… so plenty of time for appeals and there will be basically no downward pressure on the housing market there since there is no big rush to offload 10k units that won’t make money.

It’s too bad, would have been better if they just revoked it immediately and banned it in the city.

High paying jobs with tons of new graduates have an oversaturated supply problem. It’s no surprise that when people figure out that becoming a software developer is easy street to 150k+++ WFH that there was a huge rush to get those jobs… now that there are TONS and TONS of young junior devs there is no shortage to hire someone for near minimum wage.

Why pay 400k for a senior developer when you can hire a mid-level for ~100k to be a manager, and 4 juniors for 60k a piece, and augment them with chatgpt to help them learn what they are skill gapped by.

Plus junior devs are so desperate you can force them to come into the office, something the dev divas ten years ago refused to do back when there was a huge shortage of coders.

Call me an asshole but I think giving driving habit information to insurers is great, so long as good habits are given discounts and bad habits are punished.

I’m one of those people who would love automatic enforcement of driving laws as well as user reportable incidents of other drivers (given you can provide footage of something you’re reporting.)

If people don’t like living under the law… maybe the law shouldn’t exist. “That’s the way it is” is a terrible excuse for fucking anything.

Oh, and make audit trails for this shit public record. Someone creating AI videos or fake reports? Punish that too. It’ll never happen though. People want laws for others, not themselves.
