Awesome self own there

Interesting thought: do you think New York's new government-run grocery stores will let people just walk out without paying?

Because I don't live in SF and have no desire to go there?

But it's obviously just more fake security if all a shoplifter needs to do is get someone's receipt to walk out of the store past the guard.

So shoplifters just have to get hold of one old receipt and they're good?

The whole point of these "age limits" is to force people to accept digital ID. This is why we're seeing a coordinated push all over the world.

I am in every way anti-DRM, but it's ubiquitous. A lot of publishers won't publish on GOG for this reason. I agree that Epic is arguing in bad faith. The enemy of my enemy is convenient, nothing more, so I am not delusional about Epic but I still enjoy their actions.

TBH I usually forget to go look at the free games they are typically so underwhelming, though there have been some legitimate greats too.

There are only two features of Steam beyond buying installing games which I care about, and one of them sucks. I like that it handles updates for me, but that is also the bad one, because practically none of the updates are differential. I want them to make that easier so that publishers actually do it. I know that it requires significant support from publishers when they use packed data files, but even that is something that could be addressed. (If the files are compressed individually instead of using compressed archives, then binary patches are feasible.) The other feature is Proton. Anything else including friends, achievements, and even reviews is all optional to me. I enjoy some of those features, but I would still use Steam without them.

I see I'm still living rent-free in some heads.

U MAD [I'm alive] BRO?

And ammo. Yeah some people have thousands of rounds of ammo. The military has millions of rounds, and enough men to go with them to effectively utilize suppressive fire. If you do get in an old-fashioned firefight with soldiers they can simply outbullet you if for some reason they don't have an armed backpack drone. Which by the way they totally do.

What demographic? Poor and disadvantaged? You know events like these are held by white people where there's only white people, right?

You completely lost me right here, bro. OH THE BOOTYANITY TWERKING ON COP CARS

You need to fill it out because by doing so you're authorizing the government to take your money. Otherwise they're literally just stealing it.

You get that the unemployment rate is literally designed to be a falsehood because it stops counting people when they have been unemployed for a while, right? The methodology used for it has no concept of who is looking for work at all, it's based on a fundamentally bogus assumption that people who haven't found any for long enough aren't looking.

Who has ever tried UBI? Make sure your answer is about UBI and not just BI for a test group.

Most of those guns are irrelevant, as guns don't kill people by themselves, and a person can only realistically use two at a time, and can only use one at a time well.

Plus, you know, the government has thermal vision, guided munitions, satellite overwatch...

Infinitely more would be removing yourself from the equation in a carbon negative way. I suggest swallowing seeds and falling into an early grave.

If people don't buy stuff eventually the corporation collapses. The principals can make a profit before then, but repeat this enough times and the whole boat sinks as it happens to too many major employers at once. Hence too big to fail, which is of course the result of failure to enforce antitrust law.
