Y2K was completely overblown and exaggerated.

Well, JS isn't any better, but the rest are superior to PHP. PHP is hot garbage.

another version of Chrome that no one needs, asked for, or wants while offering nothing unique.

The very youngest Boomers are 62-63 years old at this point. Most Boomer's kids are well past the draft age. Give it a rest.

I mean, I wasn't solely referring to monetary investment, but yeah.

Why would EA actually invest in anything good when they can keep shoveling generic shit?

Wrong. I'm just too lazy to look it up again to accurately detail all of them for you. That was the one that I believe most closely would apply and that lawyers might be able to latch onto. There might be something else more niche and specific that I'm unaware of, or not.

Right. Because "border".

Mostly yes, but not entirely. Either way, they do still have too much leeway and freedom without real repercussions.

Off the top of my head, I cannot do it fully accurately. But one of things they cannot lie about is the written contents of a warrant. They aren't allowed to say that are looking for X, when they are in fact looking for Y (though if X is also something illegal, they can also tack that on if they see it). Granted there was no warrant in the case, just the alert for the active investigation. I don't know for sure if a lawyer could argue that it would be similarly illegal.

No, because police are not able to just lie about anything they want whenever they want.

Yes, they are, to certain extents. But what is silly about this is that there was no need to lie in the first place. It's not like saying they're looking for CSAM instead of terrorism would have a different result than just being honest, other than perhaps a feeling of extreme urgency to prove he didn't have any CSAM - which could be argued is illegal. Even though there are no warrants involved in this, it sounds like this would be on the same level as actually having the warrant but lying about what it says which is 100% illegal.

A device that costs a minimum 2x more than my phone, looks to be roughly 2x the size of my phone, runs the same software as my phone, but isn't a phone... all for a negligible increase in audio quality over my phone? Zero increase if using Bluetooth?

...yeah. Not even a little bit worth the money. Take your extremely overpriced, overrated products and go fuck yourself Sony.

Great. However, most average people don't think that like. Especially for those that have never been a part of a union or a strike.

Never said it was. It just is what it is.

You are focusing too much on personal experience and a part that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you do, or do not, consider it rude. Most of society sees it as a rude (again, with exceptions) or potentially dangerous (if they turn volatile and violent, but that hasn't really happened in a while).

Sure. Why not? We already do that for things that are just plain bad (Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).

Well, that all went out the window with Bush Jr and No Child Left Behind. Common Core was an attempt at course correcting, but did it badly in every conceivable way.

But, anyway, how do I expect them to learn this? From the fact that this has been happening for 30 years. Buying a revocable license to use software or listen to music has been very standard since the mid-90s. It's not new. The Boomers and Gen Xers were the only ones with any legal/economic power to put a stop to it and now it's much too late to stop it, though it can possibly evolve into something better than now.

At this point, disgruntled employees are almost certainly orders of magnitude more honest than the current administration which has been repeatedly been caught lying, distorting facts and straight up making shit up and calling it alternative facts.

Trump has done its best to sow doubt, anything that disagrees with them by default has much higher odds of being true than literally anything they could say.

At this point if trump administration said the skyvis blue, sun is yellow when viewed from earth and grass is green - I would instantly assume all of those things were false. Thats the state of fucked up this prick has created.

Fuck you and anyone else so stupid as to believe him. You deserve the ass rape he gives you.
