First thing that is brought up is piracy and you think it is something other than what a corporate shill would say? The only thing that is pathetic is another bootlicker showing up to muddy the water with garbage.

Picture actual headlines.
Gaming is pricing people out of the hobby
You don’t own what you purchase
The major players are using their monopoly powers to drive up prices
All the major studios that make the games you love were bought up and now are being shuttered
AI is replacing programmers and artists
Also, we ain’t winning this battle by convincing the poors to care about video games preservation.

I am sorry, I didn’t understand your comprehension of the situation is this bad. The public didn’t know, the corporations did in regards to forever chemicals. The corporations covered it up and they are now fighting it numerous lawsuits in the courts. Please do try to catch up.

Next up global warming. Did you know the petroleum scientists back in the 50s knew global warming was a real? The corporations then paid for the research to prove it. They covered this up and paid heavily into anti-climate change propaganda. This is why there is a climate change debate when it was already proven true by the companies doing the fucking polluting.

But please tell me I am soooo ignorant. What a joke.
You want to blame the individual which is literally propaganda paid for by corporations to absolve them of their crimes. Acting like a bootlicking little bitch isn’t as cool as you think it is.
You think pointing out that AI sucks is part of some giant fucking conspiracy!? What in the literal fuck are you on. Objectively there are a lot of things to not like about what corporations are doing with AI.

More independent studios to be forced to use corporate stores to sell digital merchandise that can be revoked at any time. The only person acting childlike is you playing pretend that this is acceptable.
I totally get it, you want to ride your high horse into the sunset. Do a us all a favor and do this. You don’t have answers, you just want the status quo and we are all tired of it already.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 1 week ago:
You don’t have to explain to me, I already know. I said you were wrong and I meant it. There is not going to be a corporation that is not enshitified. Did you miss all of the independent studious being bought up and now closed.
They are destroying our culture and the best you can muster is buy ethically? We are far beyond the rhetoric now. Like I said before it is okay. You have not really thought about what is going on and there is no shame in that.

Listen, as long as we allow corporations to ruin culture we will never be happy. There is no magical world where we respect copyright and corporate rule and get what we want.
Your opinion is simply wrong for multiple reasons. That is okay.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 1 week ago:
I am going to be frank, most people don’t care about piracy. You making it the crux of this issue is a red hearing and disingenuous. It is something a corporate shill would bring up.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 1 week ago:
This is the movement. It is time to take gaming back from for profit studios who want us to have zero rights to what we purchase.

Yes you are. You are an apologist for corporations. Pathetic. You have not disproven one thing I have said.
Industry wastes and produces products we don’t need. Take cooking pots and the forever chemicals fiasco. Corporations developed cheaper disposable cookware and in doing so poisoned every single human on the planet. Was this suburbanites fault? Fuck no. Corporations drove the adoption not the other way around to make MORE Money.

Take recycling plastic for our second example. Companies fucking knew recycling plastic was not feasible but the created an entire campaign around it to blame the consumer.

There is no goalpost to move. You want to blame pollution on US suburbanites as a way to discredit the environmenal impact of AI datacenters. I pointed out you are full of shit. You have no rebuttal.
I said that US citizens create more pollution and everyone should do their part. This is a fucking given.
Meanwhile 70%+ of pollution comes from industry. You inability to see the bigger picture is stunning to say the least.

I just explained the scale. Saying 2% is a nonsensical and reductionist argument that ignores the projected increase and the reality we don’t actually need AI at all.
It is not my math dude. If you want to argue the experts take it up with them, not me.
China produce 3 times as much pollution. Are you saying their 3000 million rural farmers produce this pollution!? You are acting impossibly dumb right now.
The problem is industry, it always has been. Your ignorance to this issue and trying to shift the blame is pathetic.

Why are you guessing when there is a lot of information available?
hanwhadatacenters.com/…/what-are-the-power-requir…
AI data center power demand will surge 160% by 2030, requiring 68 gigawatts of capacity compared to 10 gigawatts in 2025.
1 gigawatt is equivalent to about the energy usage for 800,000 homes. That is 8 millions homes right now projected to be 54 million homes of electricity in the next 4 years an increase of 580%
You have the gal to try and blame a single end user for their consumption when faced with this? You are clearly being disingenuous.
How much pollution does 68 gigawatt make!? Anywhere from 300-600 million metric tons of C02. This doesn’t include all the other pollution this energy generation will make. Just the C02.
“China makes one-third of all global carbon dioxide emissions, emitting roughly 13 billion metric tons annually. By contrast the United States, emits about 4.6 billion metric tons a year.”
Once again, just the C02 and wow. I am sure it is all the suburban populations fault in the US. Man you act like a corporate shill trying to blame pollution on the individual to shift the blame. Acting so dumb it hurts.
medium.com/…/carbon-footprints-the-individual-vs-…
“according to a groundbreaking 2017 report by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Accountability Institute, just 100 companies were responsible for over 70% of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.”
People need to do there part to reduce waste and people in North America definitely produce more than average. Pretending they are the problem is pure bullocks though.

Someone coming from Norway is familiar with other ways a government can fund itself having one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world.
Some of the more obvious ones are relying on natural resource revenues, consumption and value-added taxes (VAT), corporate taxes, fees for services, taxing land, fines, or heavy customs duties.
Some of the more non-traditional are state owned companies, taxing pollution, lotteries, etc.
The whole philosophy that governments needs to tax citizens is honestly questionable.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory
As far as your conceptual example, no. The government does not have a duty to defend you at least in the US.
“DeShaney v. Winnebago County and Castle Rock v. Gonzales established that the government has a general duty to protect the public at large, but no legal mandate to protect any specific, individual citizen from violence.”
I would generally agree with you premise around everyone having an equal right to protection and in turn a obligation to defend but only in a perfect world where wars are not fought to enrich the military industrial complex.
Modern warfare is unnecessary and driven by profit and propaganda. In this respect our rights have been usurped by corporations and politicians who make money from killing people.

I am glad to hear you can recognize that the US is broken. Of course it is much more than just the US at this point, but I digress
I am not really concerned about Ukraine defending itself, but I am concerned about Russia attacking what is equivalent of their own brothers and sisters. Yes, I was totally seeing where you land on wars of opportunity/agression and I am pleasantly surprised. Thanks for you candor.
I am not sure I agree with the concept of taxes, but obviously a government needs to operate with some monetary injections. I think if you have a strong social contract and everyone pays an amount that is equitable it could work out fine. I also believe there are other ways for the government to fund itself.
I am not sure I am ready to take up arms to kill my fellow man. Why are they invading. Would you expect me to fight a European army if I was in the US and they were invading to stop US war crimes? I do not owe allegiance to a concept. I would be much more likely to try and defend a person as opposed to a government.

Thank you, I was thinking you were from the US or the UK which are both god awful countries.
Norway has a significant wealth gap that is driving far right policies like immigration. Keep up the good fight and vote for policies to address this wealth gap before it is too late. Cheers!

What country are you carrying water for.

In the context of Modern US the majority of people pay the taxes and the minority of people who have the majority of wealth do not. Do you think the Social contract is already broken?
Do you actually believe any modern war was actually for its stated purpose. Do you think it is wrong sending young men to die in the Middle East for oil profits?
If you answer no to either of these then perhaps you are just simping for an abusive government.
