To me it's like... Piracy is ethically neutral. Not really a good thing not really a bad thing. Streaming services are dealing with the devil, and my name's not Faust, so I'm out. Pure evil.

Yeah, I pretty much hung up my flag for a few years. It was good, you could find the thing you wanted at a reasonable price.

Now, on principle, the only streaming services I will pay for are independent ones. Dropout and nebula off the top of my head. Sorry, Netflix et al, not sorry in the slightest.

Easier. Cheaper. A better experience. There's no reason to keep dealing with these particular devils at all.

I mean, both sides DO suck. But the decision being made boils down to which side you think has the best chance of leading to an eventual outcome that doesn't suck. I'm not voting for a party I like, because frankly that doesn't exist as a viable option, but I'm not going to not vote just because neither side is better than a 3/10. I'd rather the 3/10 than the 1/10.

I think there's real value in being honest about your feelings. The people who represent us need to know we think they suck. The people around us need to feel like others have the same struggles we do. The space for nuance does exist.

Oh, simple. It's never about the issue, it's about the opposition.

I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I've "missed" a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.

Everything is politics. The only way to avoid politics is to completely remove yourself from society. Sorry it hurts your feelings to see, but that's the reality of it, so get over it.

I'm not invested in this conversation from 2 years ago, but I'll simply reject the premise that landlords have to make a profit. That's a big maybe at best.

If jobs end up not being done, it's because they have been deemed not necessary by the people. There are enough weird people to fill just about every niche, if filling that niche also allows them to live.

Waaaaaay too fast. Give me a dozen of your slowest men and some box graters. We'll get through them eventually

Seems more people got the "wrong" impression than the right one. Whatever, go off King. You're going to anyway lol

Well, seems like it missed the mark. I'll use the language I see fit, you language Nazi.
