  • For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:

    Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition

    Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery

    Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal

    Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers

    Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement


  • I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of “wtf is wrong with you” reactions).

    The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don’t think it’s a troll, or if it is it’s convincing. I just can’t believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.







  • Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter’s worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like “you know what, take it for free”. He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.






  • Stochastic terrorism needs to have more severe criminal penalties for career politicians specifically. Right-wing figureheads have been getting away with this shit for too long.

    We’re now penalizing the parents of school shooters, so if we find out that someone who threatens to bomb a school is a super fan of X person, then X person should face some sort of penalty if they continually put out deliberate lies about said school. We did a version of this with Alex Jones already, just follow through with that logic honestly.



  • No, they just put out social messaging that tries to convince people they are. “I love women and minorities” type shit that’s paper-thin. If you look at their policies, business models, and campaign donations, it paints a very different story.

    Most companies are cutthroat free-market capitalists (and therefore right-wing by definition), because that’s what makes money and they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

    No company will support regulations on its industry, which is what “the left” broadly wants to do.
