Why are you pulling strawmen out of your ass?
I want those owners charged for being this fucking idiotic.
How is the Discord way anti-consumer? Here, let me walk through to you the steps:
I go to Subscriptions on the app, I see my subscriptions now, I see a button that says Cancel. I click it, a window pops up that says I can Continue or Nevermind. Right now I’d Continue but I don’t want to because I’m on a month trial, but I do imagine that by clicking Continue, it’ll end things with a notification that tells me I’ve unsubscribed.
How is that process anti-consumer? It’s stupid easy to understand. I think you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
No, it absolutely does have something to do with people’s intelligence. Because if you can’t seem to follow the prompts there to cancel? Yeah, you’re kind of dumb.
It’s different than in Amazon’s case where sometimes they’ll flip the buttons on you, tricking you to resume. That kind of thing is anti-consumer.
It wasn’t that hard to cancel. People are just dumb.
Now if you want a pain in the ass subscription to get rid of, I’ll say Amazon that requires you 4 - 5 clicks to get rid of it as they’re pleading with you to stay.
No buffering, can rip the disc to have a digital copy, offline viewing .etc
I’m a little on the flipside with this one. I’m figuring it out that some of the best things out there, aren’t usually the ones that cost a premium. It just boils down to what that something is and whether you want it’s best version. Like, some of the brand-names in stores aren’t usually some of the best that’s out there compared to generic brands. I know this from some of the review videos I’ve watched like Project Farm on YouTube.
I’m going to step in and kindly disagree. You’re living one life, your own. When you’ve experienced what you feel that there is to experience and all that, then things stop being personally exciting for you. Everyone’s lives is different from one another with shared generalities.
Groceries will be affordable. But Nearly all Restaurants will be out of business.
Abortion Rights would be restored and codified, LGBTQ Rights would be codified, Workers Rights would be strengthened and we’ll adopt a newly christened Migrant Rights But getting into certain job fields will be harder
American Politicians will no longer be corrupt But we will enter a World War to make it happen
Your privacy will be stored as an act will pass for companies to no longer mooch data off from you You will have to endure a life of nothing but verification checks
They could just rack up any reason they can think of to deport people.
“You’re a terrorist, get out” which was actually a thing in the 2000s in America.
“We think you’re not paying anything, get out”
I mean they must have a roulette wheel somewhere to spin and whatever it lands on, is their reason to deport you.
Let us know when Steam offers free games that isn’t freemium garbage that wants to mooch off of you for money, honey.
Yeah I mean, it’s silly as shit.
Both Epic and Valve are like multi-billionaires in the gaming industry. So it’s silly to me that people are rah-rah’ing for one billionaire over another billionaire. And please spare me the launcher comparisons, I know Steam is like feature rich, though it is because of it’s stupid social features and built-in Chromium browser that it had to cut off old OS support.
I don’t care for any of that shit, game is a game.
I generally do not care that much about my privacy unless:
I’m confronting an individual who has too much disposable time to themselves to openly dox me down to where I work to threaten it.
Data/Security breaches where the company goes “uhhh…whoopsie!” in response.
Bank accounts suddenly having transactions I know I didn’t authorize.
Other than that, I’m one of the few that aren’t too tied up with shrouding everything I do online. It just seems more like that if I act more suspicious, then it’ll attract people who keenly want to know more about me than I’d like. I just know enough not to do stupid things like making my real name my screen name or shamelessly sharing info and pretend that it won’t be tracked or traced.
If you cover your tracks better, things are fine. It’s just you’re more annoyed with specific ads based on your preferences.
I want to be able to buy out the entirety of my geeky/nerd knick knack store. But I most likely won’t because I’d feel cluttered with so many figurines and other stuff that I’d end up donating it.
I would say I’m 75% addicted. Like without it, if it shuts off for prolonged periods, what am I down to? I’m down to just books and whatever I acquired to make available offline like downloaded games and I’ve got quite a media collection going to delve into.
What I’ll miss the most of it is being in contact with those I’ve established a connection with such as online friends. The longer I go without speaking to them, the more things will feel hollow.
What still gets me is how there are Americans who’re still obliviously indecisive when they are presented, clearly, with one option being detrimentally worse than the other. And still can’t make up their minds.
“Uhhhhhhhhh dis guy has bad plans and uhhhhhhhhh I don’t know if they’re good or not. Wait, maybe…ummmmmmmm I…don’t know, I mean I guess? I don’t think struggling to make ends meet is that bad but I’m not sure…I don’t think I’ll have health care in the future if I go with this guy…I…I can’t decide!”
I really don’t like it when people say “The country spoke” like, excuse you, but I didn’t vote for Trump so don’t you dare assume that I did.
71 million people spoke out of the 334.9 million in America. 150 million americans did vote while 90 million didn’t.
Biden had the same challenges Obama did when Obama had his terms. Republicans got in the way. But Obama was still dealing with moderate and crazy but tamed Republicans who still sided with Bush at the time and propped McCain and Romney to oppose him.
Biden was going up against a more insane breed of Republicans who’ve gotten a nice dosage of the first 4 years with Trump, who’ve turned the country upside down and all around. Everything was going to be an uphill battle moreso than Obama’s struggle was.
