He’s keeping it closed, because there’s nasty shit on the other side. Are ya’ll eating crazy pills or something?

Wouldn’t that be the webway must remain closed, in this case?

I built a decent rig at the time 2 years ago for a 10 year old for less than 600€. Sure, some parts were used and it’s obviously no monster but he’s still using it daily. He’s learning how to upgrade it every time I have money for it, too.

You don’t have to buy all new Nvidia GPUs for $550 a piece to play games, ya know?

Also Finnish, and where I live it’s not only free to do as much laundry as you want up to three hours/day down in the basement but everyone in the house helps to keep the washers and dryers clean and functional as well as regularly clean the common areas together. As a 38 year old man it’s quite funny to hang around and clean with a bunch of older ladies, lol.

…and ofc that sweet unlimited internet for free is nice as well.

Nobody can escape having to share the planet with right-wing dumbass fuckwits either, but here we are.

If you allow for some cultural differences Nintendo is not really acting all that weird. It’s a conservative (in the original meaning) company in a very conservative country. They play it close to the vest and are very careful about protecting what they feel is theirs to protect.

Don’t get me wrong though, I dislike what they’ve been doing as well and I’m not defending them. From their perspective they probably don’t look at it like that though. For them it’s mostly what they feel like is defensive measures to protect their stuff. I’m certain they won’t stop until they’ve done their best to utterly destroy the emulator market at large. For me at least that’s the only reason I need to completely boycott them.

It fucking sucks, but this is what capitalism comes down to. Hopefully they get some sense slapped into them at some point soon by a judge somewhere.

Konami on the other hand, that shit just boggles my mind. I don’t understand any of the choices they’ve made for a while now.

You think Musk supports free speech in any way, form or shape?

Not if you live with chronic pain it won’t. He clearly does, and a lot of people do for a multitude of reasons.

Source: I’m 38 with a couple of organs of a 60+ year old due to an autoimmune disorder. I’ll be blind in a few years, and after that the real fun begins.

No, that’s just you. I’m genuinely curious why you’d think anyone would ever make the argument Pluto isn’t part of our solar system.

You’re probably correct in that it is a balancing act with no real winners.

It’s too bad so few seem to be able to see the nuances.

Likewise, on both counts.

The fuckwit is a danger to everyone.

At least that’ll correct itself when all the fish are dead, right?

…right?

Mint is on the other hand the most popular in the world

If you meet dicks everywhere you post maybe you should reflect a bit on why that might be. Just a suggestion.

Slaps are what my mother gave me. My father wouldn’t bother with something like simple slaps.

There’s never any reason to hurt your own children. Not one. Parents are supposed to protect their children.

The only thing my ultra-conservative father and grandfather managed to do to me was to never ever let them anywhere near their grandchildren.

I also might’ve let my father know how it feels to get thrown through a bookshelf by someone a lot stronger when I got old enough to do so. Suddenly he was a lot less enthusiastic about physical violence. I wonder why. He still managed to fuck up my spine for life when he did the same to me - when I was 12. Took me 6 years and a lot of physio but he’ll never hurt anyone else ever again.

It does, but if you really want to and have the time all but extremely expensive gun safes are not guaranteed to be all that hard to get into.

I’ve personally lockpicked my way into one that is deemed safe enough for civilian weapons in my country (as a demonstration to its owner, for the record).

A lot has certainly happened since then, if nothing else. It’s not like her campaign was very smartly done on almost any level. It sucks, because the end result could have been so much better than what you got instead.

Still rooting for all the millions of you that I know are awesome people, but …yeah.
