I mean, Gaza is in Israel. They’ve been “bombing themselves” for decades.

Well yeah… That’s America for you

Depends where you are, but I think a lot of times they’re happy just to get anything.

Yeah I’m sure minimum wage clerks are going to totally feel comfortable asking the armed person (someone who believes they need to arm themselves to enter a shopping center) to please leave.

Never seen this where I live. Not every state is a complete shit hole thankfully

How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)

The US is very large, and this varies wildly by state. Some states actually care about funding/repairing infrastructure. Others, not so much.

It’s awful

Sounds like someone was just being hyperbolic?

We had 1% as well where I grew up.

I like that you snuck an em dash in there 😉

People like me? I would never do such a thing. That doesn’t mean I’m going to blame people who did, for the actions of avaricious capitalists.

It’s really easy to not be a scumbag.

What a bunch of libertarian bullshit. Every layman can’t be expected to be an expert on literally everything so as to make sure they don’t buy or consume a product that will hurt or damage them in some way, or do business with a corporation that will screw them over. This is literally the reason government exists.

I own original hardware and buy 100% of my games but sometimes you just wanna run games that aren’t originally crossplatform on your Steamdeck for convenience, or on a PC with resolution upscaling, or for ease of streaming the gameplay, or tons of other legitimate reasons.

Can’t wait until our courts decide that, due to the prevalence of “remasters” that are just upscaled ROMs running on emulators, that this is no longer considered “fair use.”

lol

Yeah, plenty of white supremacist gangs in prison already. Would be redundant.

FLOSS software

Lol

The unfortunate thing is that, in the long run, that strategy will probably be super effective. Unless Europe (with the only internet regulations that actually have teeth) does something harsh enough, they will probably pay a few small fines over this at most. Cost of doing business and probably baked in already.

Pretty sad when non-Americans seem to understand the severity of this threat better than people here.

For sure… Just one more reason to adopt co-determination laws like those in Germany.

Public or private, if the board of the company actually contained literal workers, it could make things so much better.

Totally. I wasn’t trying to rag on Valve… More just a comment about capitalism in general and how shitty it is.
