Yep — blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it’s saying “b-b-better pay attention.”
… I hate this technology so fucking much…
Also, it trying to gaslight you into believing bluebberry is real was very funny.

When I was in highschool, a student I was sat next to found out I was an athiest. He rotated a full 90 degrees in his chair at me, and with an excitement shared only by inventors and engineers finally getting to see their ideas actually working in the real world, he asked me: “Where did dirt come from?”
I told him, “I don’t know what dirt is.”
Quizzically, “Dirt. Like, in the ground.”
I tapped my shoes on the floor. “Home Depot.”
This was, apparently, as far as his anime-villain machinations could take him. He quietly rotated back to the table and drew a school bus or something—I don’t remember what we were doing in art class.
Far from the worst encounter a person could have, but I think about it all the time.

I said it shouldn’t only be easy.
and glamorising the fact that things had to be fought over more than a lifetime.
Those people are stronger than you, so sure, yeah.
I can just call the US government support number to voice my disapproval, can’t I?
Let me lay out a strategy for you:
VISA has decided conservative authoritarianism is cool.
We bully them into rescinding this.
Later, VISA decides again that conservative authoritarianism is cool.
We bully them into rescinding this.
Later, when we have the means, we take their processor from them.
Now, we don’t need to bully them. We own the processor. We decide what it does.
The above plan is, literally, all I’m arguing for. You’re with everything until that final step. Why are you so against taking power?
If you don’t trust the people in government, you should be in government then. Join your own country’s, pressure the US.
If you would like “we” to be International, by all means. Go for it. I won’t stop you. I don’t need our PayPal to be owned by the US. Maybe all countries have their own PayPal. Maybe the UN governs one.
None of these problems get solved whatsoever, though, if you refuse to be in power. One day, VISA will just stop taking your calls. You’ll get an answering machine that says, “We won the game for control of the world. Eat shit.”

shouldn’t
Shouldn’t?
because that’s better?
It is better.
I don’t trust the US government to not immediately misuse their power
Sounds like you should be involved, then. To keep them in check.

Why should it be easy? Do you only do things that are easy? Was World War II easy?
Your forefathers spent months, years, working on projects some of them didn’t even live to see completed. You want your activism to be easy? This is pathetic.
Of what use are you to humanity if the only victories you’ll reach for are ones doable over a saturday? Whose grandchildren should even bother to remember your name?
When we win this one back, I think VISA should restrict you specifically from buying any porn games.

To be clear, I’m talking about leadership. It’d be a bit like celebrating J.K. Rowling for her advocacy against spousal abuse, meanwhile, she’s still dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into nazi anti-trans groups. More of a broken clock situation than a slippery slope.

I think it would be different if the provocateurs in question weren’t, like, religious zealots or whatever. I have little confidence their aim is to move the needle in a direction I’d like it to go.
I’ve argued with plenty of do-nothing dip shits about Just Stop Oil who are concerned solely with getting to work on time and, apparently, the plexiglass in front of famous paintings. But the difference is, Just Stop Oil is a cause I can get behind. I’m not worried that supporting them would also lead to mandatory chastity cages, you know?
I mean, I will admit the first steam list I saw, I thought “This seems bad. Can’t imagine missing any of these titles, though.”

Free market baby. If VISA decides it will lose money processing payments for hentai games it’s their prerogative to not process them.
You’re so right, and I’m obviously happy when things like this happen. Thank you, VISA. Thank you, Mastercard. Thank you, Capital One. Thank you, American Express. Praise be to God, guns, and government. Amen.

The problem is that government even has the power to do those things.
How would you stop them from doing this?
you can’t solve government problems with more government,
Not when you aren’t in power. This is your fundamental flaw: You complain about the world, oh how you have complaints, but you have no will to power, no vision.
Plant a fig tree; it will benefit your grandchildren.

It’s easier to start a competing company than it is to start a competing government.
Not when Trump’s government refuses to do anything about all the slapp suits PayPal levies against you for treading on their financial turf.
You need a powerful standing army for the latter,
Corporations, without oversight, just become warlords with their own standing armies. You’re not getting out of this one through the low effort of simply buying a different brand of latte, man, I’m sorry.

How is it you think private companies will be more easily coercible when Trump’s cronies are the private sector?

- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 2 weeks ago:
you can pressure these companies to change their mind again. Try doing that to your own government,

Okay, buddy, I’m giving you homework: you need to attend 10 city halls and 5 protests by the end of this year.
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 2 weeks ago:
So don’t let them.
Basically nothing works if no one cares about their community. One of the reasons Trump is in power right now is because of a deep American apathy for, like… everything.
Trump, et. al., are dismantling USPS, but I like USPS. It’s bad that they’re doing that.
