That’s a good way to get shot.

I’m in my 30s but I think this is the real reason why I’ve quit playing games as half the big games out there are sequels of games that first came out 20+ years ago.

Let me know next time you decide to pass on a stock.

20 years ago

Sees letter is dated 2004…

Why have you done this to me?

You just need a friend for that

Seems pretty sleazy if you’re the one instigating the challenge and then running away by blocking someone if they respond to you. Furthermore, you created an entire strawman argument with your initial reply as if the Democratic party is filled with a bunch of saints that are above reproach. This is exactly what MAGA supporters do when people criticize Trump which is why I bring up sycophants and echo chambers because that’s exactly how those people wound up in the state they’re in.

Great analogy but how does that even remotely apply to this scenario where you replied to someone else’s comment and then didn’t like the response followed by someone telling you to just block people when they aren’t part of your in-group of folks who think exactly like you?

This is social media not a dinner party and this is exactly how people wind up in social media echo chambers.

I’m 99% sure there are laws that specifically protect politicians from having their information exposed.

As if surrounding yourself in an echo chamber of sycophants is the better solution. It sure works well for MAGA folks.

The only Dem I know who even bothers to talk about this stuff is our local senator Ron Wyden. Apart from that, most seem satisfied with the status quo.

There’s a hidden skill in there that allows you to filter out the bullshit/scam/unhelpful solutions and zero in on the helpful, legitimate stuff.

The first part I’m sure about because I had to create a bookmark of a line of javascript that would bypass the on-screen keyboard and allow you to autofill the password. It was sometime in the last 3 or 4 years that they finally joined the 1990s and updated it

Don’t worry this is easily solved by sending a fax of your drivers license Mo-Fr between the hours of 8:05am and 8:09am

Banks aren’t much better. Up until just a couple years ago, the Treasury Direct website (to buy bonds/etc from the US Treasury) forced you to use a god damned on-screen keyboard to input your password and the passwords were not case sensitive. I’m pretty sure it also only read the first X number of characters of your input because I recall that people tried typing extra characters after their passwords and it would still accept it as valid, though I could be conflating this with some other archaic site.

They’re saying you can pirate a copy from the high seas to keep on Plex/Jellyfin but pay for a digital copy in order to pay the artists/studios. You won’t want to rely on Prime Video to actually store or watch your purchases because it’ll be disappointing in both regards.

Often times on this sub there’s always an alternative being proposed, so I’m a bit shocked that this time most of the answers are simply “no”.

That’s simply because we can make our own rules and don’t have to abide by the terms IP holders set. Studios won’t give out DRM free media because then you can just copy it and share it online easily. That’s not to say you can’t already do that with current media, but there are ‘barriers’ in place along with laws against it.

As far as paying artists, with regards to TV and movies, who would you even pay of the hundreds/thousands of people that it takes to create them?

Someone took Monster’s “$100 gold plated HDMI” cable and one-upped it.

No with jumper cables.

Carl is an amalgamation of 4Chan users as a whole, so it makes sense.

That’s a tall order when a fab costs tens of billions of dollars to operate. Somebody needs to make a lot of dough out of the process.
