The moment we consent to this in any way, is the moment we lose all argument against "I didn't purchase that."

Their argument, buried on page 174 of the EULA, will be you talked about it enough to authorize it.

Perhaps start a mass petition to Visa with a letter from the consumer force. Perhaps said letter should include the words cocksucker and cunt, in the interest of clarity and equality.

An XBox on every corporate desk? Why the hell not. GenGamer being interviewed will love the lunch breaks, and probably easier hardware succession planning than Win10 screwed businesses with.

Businesses would probably not like that. First of all, obviously businesses do not want employees gaming during work hours.

That entirely depends on the cost/benefit analysis of such activity in controlled breaks (call it "lunch" and "tea time" if you wish to get culturally specific). Manufacturing plants often pay to pump in or allow music throughout the facility. With measured effect when it's removed. All depends on the cost/benefit.

Having Xbox on them makes it harder to do stop that. Second, many business machines are not very good gaming machines as many of them use integrated graphics as the cheapest option. Securing machines by requiring Windows 11 is something a business can justify.

Securing sales by mandating Windows 12 Professional only install on XboxC (as in Corporate) hardware, is something Microsoft can justify. All day, every day. The mode of the machine never changes, as it's purpose doesn't. It's still a business machine in a corporate workspace. You merely enable (via granular security) certain features for gaming at certain times.

(Sooth and calming voiceover) A Microsoft-centric solution from the chassis up offers the perfect solution for the existing Microsoft organization. Hardware that fits like a glove with hardware signatures integrating directly into Microsoft AD Security, offering biometrics combined with near-field technology offering even greater authentication options. Granular and consistent control across the entire enterprise right down to every port and protocol, with one certified hardware platform to support and maintain.

The AI CIO sales pitch practically writes itself. And shareholders drool.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a recent interview with the TBPN podcast that the company's gaming business model will look to be "everywhere in every platform," from consoles to TV to mobile. His comments also hinted that the next Xbox may function more like a PC.

Wonder how long it will take the anti-trust experts to try and insist that the Professional versions of their operating systems will only be available on Xbox hardware.

2. Log massive quarterly profits driven mostly by headcount reduction. Not-so-struggle through the half-assed holiday season without them. Pay fat Christmas bonuses for all the cost reduction.

3. Re-hire your staff in late January when the holiday squeeze and desperation is maximized, at a 20 - 30% pay cut.

4. Profit even more than you did before. With the added bonus of restored resources back under slave wages.

This is why every AI module should be called “The Executive Asshole Replacement System”, no matter if it is or not. Make executive greed cry TEARS in worry, as they should be replaced first rather than last.

legal port of entry

And what the frack is that? Quite a number of people sail their boat up to Vancouver and back to Seattle, not always with the same number of people traveling each way. If I get on someone's boat in Vancouver and ride it to Bellevue should I be deported? And to where? (Please don't send me back to Michigan.)

My gr-gr-grandfather Bolle walked across the frozen Lake Superior one winter, and married a mine widow in Calumet . She had apparently sailed on a boat all the way up the Saint Lawrence Seaway, through 4 of the 5 Great Lakes to land in Calumet with a bunch of other mail order brides from Scandinavia. Should they have been deported? Actually four years later they all voted as legal citizens.

Perhaps they should have. Along with all the slaves we imported.

Perhaps we should have let Democrats win the war against the 2nd Amendment a couple hundred years ago too. That way you would have been able to keep your slaves when the Civil War broke out and nothing but redneck illegal gun owners fought to keep their plantations. The South would have won.

Hope that clarifies how ignorant it is to re-plant yourself into 19th Century arguments as if it makes two shits worth of difference today. You paid your reparation payment this month? You better have. You owe for your ancestors crimes.

Prove what wrong, exactly? Maybe so many women are on anti-depressants because there are still far too many men in this world who think a woman's place in life is bouncing between the kitchen and a birthing suite.

I know of no men who are being quite that antiquated about the problem. And men don’t engage in girl math, so they know how difficult it is to demand she return to the kitchen and stay there from a financial point of view. We’re taking about the 1% of men who can afford that, honor it, and respect it with full support. Many men would love to Provide and Protect like that. For a woman who loves and respects it as everything other than what feminism sells as demeaning or subservient.

We also many women embracing the trad wife ideology. So they’ll be no shortage of finding those who don’t see a problem at all. Trad implies traditional. As in what creates that resource globally.

I know of many women who regret putting their own happiness above their family with pre-mature never-your-fault divorce sold by single women. I know how unaccountable arrogance can easily lead to regret-filled outcomes. I know men don’t like what modern feminism sold to women under the guise of progress. Zero accountability by any victimhood necessary.

I commend you for making the effort to raise good daughters who were fortunate enough to have the right Father figure in their upbringing. I’ll bet they can easily tell when a woman hasn’t had that in her life, in a society that tolerates a touch too much of it.

He's part of Make America Grate Again.

Feminism labeled masculinity “toxic”, Making America Hate Again. Wonder how many economic courses now offer Bud Light as a textbook example.

No good Father wants to raise a respectable daughter who faces an uphill battle in every direction. Especially with matters of the heart. Everyone needs to be taught to be accountable to themselves. Taught to hold each other accountable. To be honest. To have self-respect. To be strong enough to recognize an apology is not a sign of weakness. That SIGN language (RIP Mr. Samuels) is not acceptable. Accountability was always demanded in society for men. Unfortunately society in general does not hold women accountable. Women don’t hold other women accountable.

It is unfair. It is disheartening. It is self-inflicted in many ways. And quite frankly, I’m shocked women haven’t grasped the fact that they have not and will not obtain the respect of true equality without accountability. It’s not optional, because it never was for men.

And the uphill battle continues.

You may stop pretending I got “took” by a woman. I’m tired of this flavor of “modern” feminism taking women for a ride that seems to be statistically dead-ending in divorce.

America didn’t deserve the mental gymnastics of liberal feminist unaccountability justifying Make Whores Great Again championing

Stopped reading there. Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

The estimates are 30% or more of men paying child support today, are unaware that the child isn’t theirs. 85% of abortions involve unmarried women. STDs are now a problem spread by the gender having prolific sex who made 80% of virgin men “invisible” by dating app standards. Take a guess at the chances of finding a 25-year old college grad who’s still a virgin on her wedding night.

Mind asking the unaccountable gender why men can’t be afforded the basic right of mandatory DNA testing at birth, especially since Not-The-Father failing to pay child support is a jailable offense in America? It’s estimated that most women will be single and childless by 2030. As Men Going Their Own Way, grows justifiably.

Still think you need to be asking me that question? Ask why you’re not proving me wrong instead.

When did your ancestors come to the US? Did they have to go through "quantified and validated immigration control"? Almost certainly not.

Since they came through a legal port of entry, they most certainly did. Does 200 years ago have ANY fucking relevance on life today? Almost certainly not. Today we can easily run background checks, criminal checks, and other validations to keep America safe. I’m not against immigration. I’m against unsafe immigration. You know, the corruption an Open Border Czar championed for years.

The whole conservative ethos of "I've got mine, now go fuck everyone else" is stupidly short sighted. Liberal immigration is what made the US the leader of the world, as our politics get more conservative and our immigration policies get more restrictive we fall further and further behind. That's pretty blatantly the goal of your leadership.

If you feel liberal immigration needs to love everyone and can never be too liberal, why the hell do you still have doors on your home blocking migrants from your resources? How many are you hosting there, I’ve-got-mine? Please inquire as to why entire countries seem to have so much disdain for a particular ideology (Islam).

You know, even Fox News doesn't actually *believe* all that bullshit they've fed you.

No one in America would want to believe that single mothers are twice as likely to raise a criminal than single fathers. But if we did find that statistic even half true, the real question is who is gonna talk about it first. You know, kind of like backing the unaccountable gender into a corner and demanding why they don’t want mandatory DNA testing at birth. There is only one birthing gender who knows all of the truth at childbirth. And far too often they lie. (Estimates are 30%+ of child-support mandated Fathers are unaware the child isn’t theirs.) Don’t wonder why even Fox News won’t touch things like this. The screeching shrieking retort would shatter skyscraper glass.

Women are so unaccountable in society they can be dead wrong, with a support group. (They call it The View.) And we wonder how unaccountable behavior morphs into untouchable behavior morphs into criminal behavior? When you can live freely in a society that does not hold you accountable, not having respect for boundaries and limits can become as normal as breathing.

As bars and gyms close with men not finding enough reason to open their wallets to liabilities, even the beautiful women are struggling to find attention they once had. Which is why OnlyFans is a multi-billion dollar industry normalizing the world’s oldest profession. Whats the chance of finding a 25-year old western virgin to marry these days? Does Fox want to talk about that? Or the STD rate among women now? (Women find 80% of men “ugly” by dating app Insta-standards, so it ain’t exactly the virgin men spreading disease.)

The downfall of the replacement generation alone can mean the downfall of a society. Yeah. It fucking matters. To more than good Fathers trying to raise respected daughters.

Project 2025 is the result of a moral and ethical pendulum being brazenly shoved way the too far to the left

To you, the centrist (pro-corporation, pro-authoritarianism, pro-incarceration, pro-MIC — based on voting records) policies of the Democrats are "too far to the left" when actual leftism includes far more liberal ideas. This is because you are too far to the right to even see the left from where you're standing.

I'm more concerned about fighting for the return of morals and ethics, particularly for the unaccountable that helped create this mess.

When feminist liberalism manifested into the rainbow coalition representing the Democratic party, it resulted in those politics being dragged into every facet of American life. Fathers had to suddenly contend with the idea of their daughters stepping onto a sports field with a man, knowing damn well the harm that could happen. Parents had to contend with their children being exposed to questionable material being presented in schools, while being berated and chastised for daring question any of it. Parental rights became an Enemy of the State. Liberal feminism defending abortion by any feelings necessary instead of being open to any reasoned discussion on the matter. Much like immorally fighting against mandatory DNA testing at birth, which makes no fucking sense for anyone other than the lying cunts abusing loopholes to screw Not-The-Father into 18 years of Federally-imposed servitude, with threat of jail time for non compliance.

And feminists have the nerve to label masculinity as the toxic one?

Yes. I'm looking for reasoned rational approaches with proven solutions. Not assuming the worlds oldest profession can be re-defined as "empowering" under OF socialite tactics. Remembering the value of the nuclear family and restoring generational stability in America by Making Fathers Great Again, is desperately needed regardless of who is in charge of the political stick. Don't agree? Fine. Prove it by providing a viable vision otherwise.

20 years of an Afghanistan war proves no party is anti-MIC. An entire Congress not voting to remove the corrupt practice of Congressional Insider Trading (a.k.a. Pelosis Present), proves no one is anti-corporation. And we're known as the United States of Incarceration for a reason.
