Iâ(TM)ve âoeprovenâ this casually for 30 days trying to reach nerds not to be obese and have worked with hundreds of folks if not thousands.

Now you are just being dumb. There is no way in hell to shoot down a balloon and guarantee it lands in a lake or river. It was high up and had a huge balloon which, even deflated, would catch the wind.

If this were a republican administration, I bet you'd be saying how genius this all was.

Oh for crying out loud, it was the smart thing to do. What if it had something deadly onboard?

And please, you right wingers only try to second guess our intelligence services when a Democrat is in the White House. If it was a Republican, you'd be crowing about how smart it was.

Did you ever think maybe we knew it was there all along? There are two other very good reasons not to shoot it down: first, we might want the Chinese to know our nuclear weapons systems are fully up to date and operational. Second, we might be feeding them false information.

No, because of the way copyright works, it does have to be that way. No game developer want their copyrighted IP associated with whatever trash game some dipshit edgelord wants to write. Yeah, sure, you can put Mickey Mouse in your loli-rape game. LOL, never going to happen, and you are dumb for thinking it's a good thing.

NO game company is going to let some other IP into their games. And very few games would benefit even from letting in the companies own IP, from other series. As a gamer, I do not want to see your cowboy in my sci fi game.

So, you'd have to give the companies control over what goes into their games. Making the whole concept pointless.

So not only are you wrong, you're an asshole about it to boot, because you haven't thought this through and don't have any actual, good, reasoned arguments in favor. You just want what you want. And critical thinking is obviously not something you want to do.

This is mindless.

Companies have to raise prices during fearful times in order to profit now so they can cover the potential losses later.

I jacked my prices up BIG TIME in early COVID because I didn't know if I would be out of work in 2 years. I made a fortune in 2020 and half a fortune in 2021 as things equalized and nothing really bad happened.

I deserved that profit for taking a risk, tho. If things would have gotten shut down for me, I would have had enough cash to weather 2-3 years of outage and rebuild my businesses.

To wit, fuck you for your collectivism.

I am no conservative nor MAGA fan but I do believe Facebook etc acted as State actors during Covid and should be regulated as a State entity.

I have only registered and voted Democrat in my entire life and I am serious about putting some of these social network barons up in front of the Nuremberg courts version 2.
