Looks like your players would have chosen you, but you were very busy telling them what they wanted because you know best!
Now someone arrived with what you should have fucking made in the first place and you don't want them raising the bar by putting out a fun to play game so it's likely that they will get sued out of existence so they can go back to making a bit of money while they sleep, maybe make Pokémon xenon and radium or something simple and iterative.

Sears Craftsman in a nutshell. Used to have great products and customer service. Then suddenly all their stuff stopped being made here, so their quality turned nonexistent along with their customer service. Shit product at a shit price with shitty customer service...and they said publicly that they weren't sure what happened.
Of course you aren't. You'd be amazed what you can "not see " if your really try hard enough.

A spokeswoman for Intuit, Tania Mercado, criticized the direct file project as a "half-baked solution" and a waste of taxpayer money.

Sorry, what? The company that deliberately hid its online offering whole being paid to offer it? The company known for the insanely convoluted and confusing way you had to get to said free offering?
I think the waste of money is in having tax code needlessly complex so you can stick in a bunch of carve outs for your friends. It could be simple, but given we have the ultra- wealthy writing our laws I'm pretty sure it's only is those "unsolvable mysteries " like providing competitive broadband internet.

Spoken like someone who had their mind made up prior to "researching" anything at all. Think what you wish, after all there are folks out there stupid enough to embrace Flat Earth so you're in good company I guess?

I use yall as examples of how not to behave like an adult. I just wish everyone else would stop listening to you fucks as if you had any clue about what's going on out here in reality. Again like FlEarfers yall are facts optional idiotic propaganda. Only effective because we basically stopped teaching logic and reasoning in school and substituted it with "faith" and bullshit religious teachings and reinforced it with the bullshit "equal sides" form of news 'reporting'.
Believe it or not your hand crafted and heavily edited footage does not stand up to any logical scrutiny and you just blame the victims instead.

You're a disgrace to anyone who made it through a 10th grade Logic and Debate class.

How many microphones are included with the TV? I'm sure they think it world be a shame to miss out on all that juicy monetization...and it's not like any of these companies come right out and say what their doing.

Alphabet and Meta are the lords of over collection of user data though. If you have a mic or camera near them, ready assured your conversations are being recorded and sifted through.

It's okay though, they aren't breaking any laws! We're not foolish enough to pass any sorts of data protection laws.
  That way the government gets access to it with no warrant necessary. Totally okay though, right? I mean, at least it's not that Evil Evil TikTok!! (Not to worry, they can buy the data just like anyone else...from data brokers!)

The illusion of safety, security, and normalcy about this is chilling, to say the least. Exceptionally damaging its more likely though.

How the fuck is literally any of what you're talking about "woke "? That word lost its meaning in the real world years ago when people started using it as shorthand for "anything new, different, out of the ordinary, doesn't follow all the 'normal' social opinions, or hurt my tender feelers because I don't understand anything more complex than stuff go boom and boobies"
You can see why they needed a shorter way to say all that! Lol it's the Right's dog whistle for a just shy of retirement age "new crowd" of homophobic bigoted racists. None of this has been exactly "well hidden".

Am I saying all of what you've said is bullshit? Sadly, no. No it's not. So, just to make that clear. But... this sort of mental laziness further complicates any chance at a more nuanced or complex situation even being discussed. That is the actual bullshit here. Lots of folks having their fears and hatred stoked for a few votes, a lot of money, and some political power.

For the record? That's on BOTH of the imagined "sides" of our political system. I use quotes because there's only one "side", the wealthy. If you think they give even a passing fuck about the rest of us, you're delusional.

Oh come on..
You're wanting corporations to treat their consumers like humans with brains? They ran the focus groups on that! Turns out that sure, customer satisfaction goes way up, but it ends up dropping the share price by 0.0000174 cents per share. THINK OF THOSE POOR SHAREHOLDERS!!

Seriously though, this DOES have an impossibly easy solution. Stop consuming. ...that's it. Stop giving these idiots the money they depend on to do the dumb shit that they do. Super simple and equally super impossible.
You mean i would have to *gasps* do without?! Inconceivable!

So we can look forward to these being the "simpler times when things were better" in a few years when we have UniversalMGMMarvelDisneyShellTexaco to take care of our "entertainment"*

*only 49.99 per day for 60 glorious minutes of content. Oh don't worry about it just being 60 minutes! It'll still take you 8 hours to watch it. Did you forget about the commercials? Lol we didn't! Now be a good pay pig and squeal for me.

Because that's the play they've been taught. Someone speaks out about the ills of capitalism? Quick! Get out the bogeymen it's time to scare the ignorant back into compliance!

I appreciate your calling it out directly though, needs to happen everywhere and all the time. None of these ignorant loudmouths should be anywhere near where adult decisions are being made, much less included in them. Give them some actual education and some deprogramming.
I'd wager the vast majority are misinformed and would hand a different opinion if the understood those pesky facts that they insist are not really facts but just strongly held opinions subject to other opinions.

Much like the intentional misspellings in spam email, that obvious bit of non-logic serves as a filter.
If the reader is too stupid or ignorant to pick up on it, chances are good that they'll also buy whatever bullshit said scammer is peddling. 60+ court cases and zero proof? Oh that's just part of the conspiracaaaaahhhh. It's all to get you to think the "wrong way" man, WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Remember folks, teaching your children logic and reason is frowned upon in RepubliKan Kristian MuriKa. It makes it harder to get people to blindly accept whatever swill you toss their way and that's what's making Murika a bad place to live! It's not the racism, systemic oppression of minorities, or corrupt governance...it's the fact that we still have people smart enough to see through it! That's the problem!

Don't worry, our lord and savior The Sandstone Simpleton (hallowed be his name, may his fake tan glow forever) will save us by turning Murika into a fascist state on day one. "Only for a little while", which should sound familiar to anyone with a bit of Russian history under their belts.

We stop them or they *will* end us. It's happened before and will happen again. They will not play nicely with others, they will not obey any rules, and they do not care because they are a cult. Cults do one thing very well: murder people with joyous glee.

In a statement, Cummins said that it had "seen no evidence that anyone acted in bad faith and does not admit wrongdoing."

So, if corporations are people, where does one sign up for the "just pay a fee and this all goes away" treatment from law enforcement?
"Oh! Was I doing 130mph in that school zone? Again? Lulz! Silly me! Here, take this $2.17 and go away, won't you? There's a good chap. "

I'm absolutely positive that this will eliminate the need for most of the legal system. It works so well for our Corporate "citizens" and folks with that terrible Affluenza. Isn't one of the guiding ideas behind the justice system the concept of equal protection? Just treat us like you do them! What could possibly go wrong?

Both forms of government MURDER PEOPLE TO STAY IN POWER. That means that regardless of what word you use to describe it people are still dying because of both of them.
Maybe we could focus on that for longer than 45 seconds? Maybe?
Or have we really been reduced to two literal political football teams?

Politics and life are not zero sum games, when one side "loses" it doesn't mean the other side is "winning". We're in a burning house and people are very busy arguing over what color the flames are rather than trying to figure out how to put out the fire _that both of the parties started for their mutual benefit_.
The rich can sustain themselves because they've amassed resources at the expense of everyone else. More people would realize how much of a problem that is if they weren't so busy being bickering children.

The First Church of Lord Elmo is going to have a "school". I can hardly wait. You thought religious schools were bad before lol.

Wow, all that from something that just flags stuff huh? You may be terrified about ATMs, smart phones, computers in general, LLMs....

Basically everything in the world currently around you. It's illogical and reactionary thinking like this that stifles progress on many of the issues we face as a society. Guns are an issue, but for heavens sake don't talk about them or study the impact they have in any way, lest "They" take your toys away. Oh noes the They!!

Subsidized Healthcare? YOU COMMIE! How could you even suggest that for the masses?? (Works great for the wealthy and Congress though...how odd.)

The absolute best way to control a large population is with never ending emergencies and distractions. Never discuss something important lest progress be made and some rich fuck might not be able to pay off his 4th mistress. Unthinkable!!!

I'm hopeful that at some point society starts ignoring the shouting children and starts paying attention to what's actively killing us. Now if only we hadn't utterly stopped teaching logic and reasoning in school...sadly it was causing too many folks to question religion and we just can't have that! Otherwise Republicans would never get elected!

You'll excuse me if I don't hold my breath. It's pretty obvious bait. Anything to push their idiotic points and create issues in addition to the ones we already have. Chaos is to their benefit, so they create a much as possible. That way the adults are too busy minding the children as opposed to actually discussing solutions to very severe and obvious problems. I say deprive them of the attention that serves as their oxygen, their message deserves to suffocate in the hatred it's sourced from.

Couldn't think of a better username for someone with your level of "intelligence". You must be a hit at holiday parties.
