  • 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.







  • 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

    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.
