- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 2 days ago:
do you have opinions that might not be liked by the people in power?

i dont understand why anyone would travel to usa for any reason anymore
- Comment on How do I survive the US immigration? 3 days ago:
what if you dont have any social media accounts? Or what if you do but say you dont?
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds 4 days ago:
for every person who boycots there is ten who cry “i do what i want with my money”. there should be some shame cast on those who still support corporations like this.
- Comment on Can you explain like I am a child terrorism without the whole good vs evil schtik? My sister in laws kid asked me about it. He is 9. 4 days ago:
but if some group targets non-civilian targets, they will be labeled terrorists just the same. Doesnt matter if they are justified or not, unless of course the target is someone global leaders dont like.
“unauthorized violence” seems more apt definition.

maybe it works kind of like how water works. Water also sticks to itself, like how separate droplets combine very fast when close enough.
- Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital" 5 days ago:
well, having a physical disk doesnt guarantee ownership. companies can still leave critical things off the disk and require you to download them when you install, or there can be some verification system. And if corporation servers go down, you still cant use it.
What we need is all the files and data we buy to be fully functional and not behind any encryption or other gate, be it digital or physical. Then make your own physical media of it or back it up whereever you want.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 week ago:
look, i live in country with fortuitous lack of facists. or at least ones we have seem to keep mostly to themselves. I have never read anything regarding this from press or other source so that memory is pretty much only thing i have on the matter. According to wikipedia it was black lives matter during ferguson protests that started using it.
though i kind of agree that on this point its quite pointless word to use beyond shitty people self-identifying themselves by raving how woke everything is.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 week ago:
i remember there being some twitter trend around it, kind of like the “me too” movement too. I think that is what started the term.
Also, why would they invent such a word and not some more derogatory one? “Woke” has quite positive spin, being aware and stuff. The reason they use it as negative word is because its against everything they believe in. Woke people are literally a threat to them because they want to keep hating and abusing others. They want to keep doing the shit they are doing and anyone no indifferent to it is a problem.
saying they invented it is more akin to propaganda and revisionist history to me because it takes something away from the word, makes it lesser.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 week ago:
it wasnt invented by them
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 week ago:
at this point its more of a way for assholes to out themselves by raving about how “woke” everything is.
but essentially it means to me being aware of things (more than just racism)

constant propaganda and suppression it empowers the idiots and keeps those who can think down.
- Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before 3 weeks ago:
zero-k has terrain modification, which i havent seen on any other similar games. The units also have quite advanced ai, so less micromanagement. Though sometimes they get themselves in trouble but you can also setup retreat points for them.
- Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before 3 weeks ago:
zero-k is very nice, opensource too. I think it started as mod for total annihilation or supreme commander and developed into its own thing.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
or the reviews are in lines of “brings nothing new, 9/10”
- Comment on 🤔 Interesting 4 weeks ago:
which is why any opensource project should have strict restrictions about how companies are allowed to use it.

- Comment on ngl it gets you pretty buzzed 5 weeks ago:
that would require us to be in control of our own lives, instead of rich owning us. thorough research costs a lot of money and resources, it would cut into profits and some rich guy might not be able to buy third yact.
- Comment on The European Commission's answer to SKG: "The Commission considers that at this stage it cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially." 5 weeks ago:
do enlighten us with a hypotetical scenario
- Comment on The European Commission's answer to SKG: "The Commission considers that at this stage it cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially." 5 weeks ago:
there are many other things that were considered unrealistical legal obligations. our current consumer protections as a whole most likely were opposed by businesses at first, expect at that time governments were less puppet theaters for corporations.

list everyone who voted for rejection, dig up what else they have been up to, make sure people know and will not forget. no peace for these assholes.

its actually quite weird how strongly the ai is being pushed everywhere. Though I guess it just proves how deep the rot goes.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
i wonder if it eventually comes to having to resort to legal action because of this. Those detectors are unreliable yet you can be penalized based on what they spew. And lost grades is lasting consequence.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 month ago:
only way to stop them from being monopoly would require anti-consumer actions, penalizing them for providing better service than others (which is what i assume is the goal of the “competitors” such as epic so they dont have to provide good service to compete).
Imo, these things should always be done user interests first, companies will manage always anyway. In the worst case the ceo can buy few yacts less.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 month ago:
well, i guess if they stop them from being monopoly it lowers the risk of valve going bad
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 month ago:
First we take down valves “monopoly”, then we yell hurray and watch all the other companies suddenly turn good?
What do you propose should be done?
