When they load you into the trains, Iâ(TM)ll be taking photos to feed my Ai so folks never forget.
Until the next generation of you calls for censorship and forced speech.

Misinformation is free expression, comrade.
What happened to the freedom to choose?!
itch.io is an enthusiast marketplace. steam is a mainstream marketplace with relatively permissive policies, so i guess it can be mistaken for an enthusiast marketplace... but it isn't.
the gateway of enthusiasm is the best gateway but not everyone is cut out for that i guess. and should they be? it's video games; their original market was to replace gambling machines and make money. if anything, it's the ones who think they're artistic, or whatever, that are the weirdos, and we have itch.io.
money breeds corruption, but that's because it caters to a much larger audience. because it's money. people like money.
further, they can "honestly" claim that they sold "over $foo units of their breakthrough cryptophone~!", and just not mention the gift-with-purchase...
this is basically how ghostwritten books ostensibly by famous people sell so many copies. if an institution books the famous person as a speaker (and they will be promoting themselves heavily as a speaker so you will have a chance if you're in the biz), they need to pay a speaking fee and buy a lot of copies of the book, to be given away at the event or whatever. often a lot of them end up getting destroyed, but some of it will work as advertising and all of them will count as "readers" for the purpose of industry metrics.
all part of the game of musical chairs that is venture capitalism.
it's a flagship item for their "whales," so yeah they have more incentive to fix it.
also if ford somehow released a car with the emblems spelling "FROD" on accident, i am sure they would care much more about that than a few plebs getting zeroed by something that MIGHT be their fault (and even if it is, it needs to be proven).
partly this is human vanity, and partly this is just that it's a much easier and indisputable mistake. you can't simp for a typo really, whereas there always seem to be defenders of outright psychopathy.
i guess you could call this "irrational," but i think it's actually just an "alternative valuation of human life."
if it makes you feel any better, asus is happy to screw its customers over warranty claims too most of the time.
this is just a high-profile case and a relatively easy fix (cosmetic, not defective parts/labor), so they're doing damage control this time.
Yes, rampant inflation creates jobs.
Fuck off with those data points.
I voted for no one and am glad.
Nah dude, the next generation is a write-off. Anyone brave or stupid enough to have had children should be taking extreme measures to protect them against the intentional hollowing-out of society, if they can. The stupid need not apply.
For stupid people, supporting some patriotic sabre-rattling against a scapegoat is, like, easier. Remember, it's fine for American corporations to sell, digest, lease, and derive products from your digital life. In fact it's great! As long as they don't sell it to them!
i mean, there are plenty of skiddies who really do behave exactly like this... it's just weird to read in text because usually they're not worth writing about.
I agree completely. Further, if Donald Trump is found guilty of treason for his role in the Jan. 6 riots (or any other context), he should be executed as per Article III of the United States Constitution.
perhaps, but you didn't deserve it in the first place.
although this is technically fraud, i still admire the "criminals" for rationally abusing a coddling liberal system. after their jail term, i hope their qualifications are sufficient for an executive position at a small company. our economy needs all the help it can get to survive Biden!
here's a secret. i'm always joking in this subintellectual cesspit.
if i actually point out the obvious fact that praising the creativity of CEOs willing to take risks with self-driving cars, is literally the same thing as praising them for risking the lives of others without their consent, some chud will want to "debate" that so i don't bother with it and just agree 1000% with my cynical interpretation of their position instead.
it's a little game i play.
As a corporation, Cruise is capitalistic, and capitalism is a voluntary system, so this "accident" was probably staged by Soros.
Literature may call it "imagination."
I call it a self-hypnotic defect in the mammalian hippocampus.
