It’s like having to wait through an ad on Duolingo except without the reward.

It provides an extremely theoretical motive for people to do the abuse, that is unlikely to materialize in reality.

Yeah, this whole argument seems like a theoretical spurious hypothetical.

The dude in the video is acting like this is completely legal too, when all of the abuse is already illegal and the authorities just cannot prevent it because of the scale and size of the Internet combined with their own ineptitude.

If I’m in the business generally of blowing up and attacking company servers, why would I suddenly want to pivot to hosting monetized game servers? That’s an entirely different business. The whole thing strikes me as “OH NOES SOMEBODY MIGHT MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES!!!”.

Centralized, proprietary servers for games other than subscription MMO games are complete and utter bullshit. Either make the game a subscription and keep all of it server-side, or allow people to host the servers and stop acting like assholes.

One thing that would go against monetization of servers after hostility to get the original to go down would be that anyone could spin up a free one in competition. Once the server binaries are available to everyone, anyone can run a server. Why would someone pay for something they can get for free?

Well, the venn diagram lady lost the election so we had to cede the territory to the opposition.

They subbed out Jake from State Farm and it’ll never stop bugging me.

Strangely enough I suspect a significant amount of Americans would excuse Charles Manson. There’s a giant movement right now to get the Menéndez brothers out of prison because they were abused. Charles Manson would also be helped by the fact that he was a racist white dude trying to ignite a race war.

Good luck with that. A couple of weeks without hair appointments and the million Karen march started right up with the assistance of the monied interests that really run this place. The people in this country are more willing to sacrifice others than to undergo the inconvenience of changing their hair appointments.

The people of this country claim to want positive change, but the change they really want is more lethal police, more tax cuts for the rich, more deportations, more punishment, more violence for those stepping out of line, and more jail slaves.

America will never get any better without first even partially living up to its “melting pot” “community” and “brotherly love” rhetoric, and there’s not even a slim fucking chance of that ever happening in my opinion.

We hate each other, we hate ourselves, and we accept politics that vibes well with the pervasive notions that the poor deserve their shitty lot in life, that people who don’t look, sound, eat, live, or pray like us are terrible, that women should be in the kitchen, that education is for nerds, and that rich people and famous people are inherently better than us.

I’d post quotes of George Carlin explaining twenty years ago that we should stop voting for rich people that don’t give a shit about us, or Vonnegut saying how the poor hate themselves in this country in a book he wrote decades ago but the only nerds interested in such things have already seen, heard, or read them.

Yeah I guess before the full weight of the citizens united decision killed what was left we eaked out a bit of stuff.

That’s not true, we had a good run from the forties until I was born in the eighties. A whole forty years of some amount of power!

Democrats lose because characters like RBG and President Biden simply could not fathom that stepping aside was ALWAYS what they should have done.

Lol, dude the guy that won the election is the oldest person to ever run for president in the history of the country, and a sitting Democratic president stepped aside due to public pressure for younger leadership, but yeah the concept of gerontocracy is what did them in. 🙄

My “lifehack” is to always eat stuff like this with a ready beverage. You put the bite in your mouth but don’t chomp down on the nuclear-hot explody portion until you have also added some liquid to your mouth to cool it.

Sounds terrible. Where I live, the marine layer doesn’t even recede until afternoon anyway. The sun basically doesn’t get up until twelve. Why do I have to be?

We already invented brunch. It’s too bad that it was such a good idea that it got overrun by hipster wankers.

Monopoly my ass. You morning people are just too lame to organize things that don’t fucking suck.

Every once in a while someone forces me awake on a weekend morning, and I’m appalled by how eventless and boring it is until like noon anyway.

💯

I can feel this science in my bones.

Big xylophone is gerrymandering the alphabet.

And get a much better sandwich too.
