I was in scouts. People brought their sisters to meetings all the time. They joined in whatever we were doing and it was fine. I also went on a couple girl scout trips. I don’t even remember how that happened but we had a fun time. Most of the girls I met as a kid and remained friends with through my teens I met through scouts. Good experiences all around.

It’s been consistent enough so far so most people probably won’t give a shit. It’ll be like americans ignoring the metric system.

I have been ship of theseusing my desktop and server for 15 years. This article is fucking stupid.

LLMs learned it by watching these idiots.

Never forget that the morally correct thing to do if you happen to meet one of these people it to punch them in the mouth.

Then there was me bouncing between Morrowind and Chrono Cross depending on who’s turn it was with the PC.

No need. Either the headline is accurate and they disagree with the premise of the article or the headline is rage bait in which case they don’t deserve clicks.

Some people always stay for some reason.

It’s because they have such a huge market share that people don’t even realize there are alternatives. Or the alternatives are so far behind that they’re not really a viable option for most. What’s the alternative to Microsoft? Apple who also sucks, or Linux which is really hard to get into for the average person. What’s the alternative to streaming? Buying physical media, which is going away, or pirating and hosting your own shit. What’s the alternative to Amazon? Buying locally, but you have to get off your ass and the costs are going to be much higher and it’s going to be difficult to find a lot of niche items. Especially now that a lot of malls are dead. There’s countless other examples but those are the main ones that came to mind. These companies just have built up so much inertia in people’s lives that it’s going to be a long while before they feel the effects of their enshittification. There’s also a factor of a lot of people just do not think very hard about the products they buy. I’ve watched people by cars on a whim for fucks sake. They see an ad for something and it gets in their brain that they need to have it or think that a product must be better because it is more expensive without much critical evaluation. I think the economy going to shit is going to hit these companies worse than the consequences of their own actions will for a long time.

Yeah, I never finished the main quest or all the factions in Skyrim. I did everything in Morrowind. That game is the most immersive game I’ve ever played. Nothing has gotten close since. Even with the shitty combat system.

I mean, kind of. Not owning anything or being able to do what we want with our PCs will really free up a lot of time for other hobbies such as hunting billionaires for sport.

That’s why mine’s pointed at my dick 24/7. Wouldn’t want them to miss anything.

They’re already blocking states in the US.

The biggest thing is the updates. If the game can update itself or is no longer getting updates I don’t care about it having a launcher. If I have to go to their website and download a new .exe every time they do an update it is annoying. Steam does provide a lot of other QOL features as well though.

I knew that fucker was going to be a problem even on my first play through. The fact that I couldn’t murder him was really annoying.

Hold the people who lied about him accountable or your not “distanced” at all.

The 2nd comment is blaming the fucking gun. Conservatives are idiot clowns.

Be a lot cooler if they couldn’t leave because they’d been arrested for participating in organized kidnapping and murder.

what exactly can they do?

Stop worrying about what’s legal and start worrying about what’s right. If one of them actually took a stand and started some shit people would back them.
