metallica are honestly a bunch of babies.

Yeah. She doesn’t see the value in getting entertainment for free while there are starving children in the world.

She’s only interested in getting brownie points from other consumerists.

Might be a good idea to pirate and then contact the artists about setting up donation channels.

Publishers are obsolete.

Absolutely.

Piracy is a tool to fight back against the ruling class and help reduce the disparity in wealth.

That’s why useful idiots have been conditioned to hate it or only use it for ‘privacy’ purposes.

670 is still better than nothing.

Hopefully it can find its way to someone else’s home on the cheap and still give them plenty of years of fun.

I’m using Wayland right now, but tentatively.

Right now there’s an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.

Only happens on Wayland and it’s fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.

There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren’t properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.

Good shill.

Lol.

Yep.

“Games as a service” are released as a “minimum viable product” to see if it can hook enough suckers to make it profitable enough for the company to finish making.

If there aren’t enough saps that take the bait, development ceases and whoever put their faith in the product look like tools.

Why?

I’m sorry your comment was censored.

Hopefully we can get better communities someday that allow users to choose for themselves what they get to see.

It’s not an insult, just an observation.

Thanks for confirming it.

Actually, it’s the American business owners that gave china the manufacturing edge.

They cared more about maximizing profits off of Americans rather than competing with foreign companies offering customers better deals.

Keep in mind, you’re trying to argue against industrialization right now. Are you suggesting we shouldn’t have industrialized to prevent “deskilling blue collar labor” so “China doesn’t get a manufacturing edge”?

Right about what?

Yeah, people say they don’t want AI driving cars while AI has better safety records than the average human.

People also fought back against having machinery to automate production.

You might want to look into the “Luddites.”

I hope you can admit you’re wrong when the time comes, but I genuinely expect you to just pretend you never stuck your neck out in the first place.

Thanks for the rational response.

Step 3: Person will say they’re female or identify as one.

Is identifying as the opposite sex really something that is commonplace now? Usually these discussions center around identifying as a ‘woman,’ which is why I was specifically referring to sex in my question.

What if patrons who would be upset over having a male in the female restroom don’t care what the male identifies as?
