Okay so you admit you’re not a lawyer but try being technical about something criminally-related while I have not stated that I was a lawyer and I based what I said off some research. Just so you can feel cute by adding a jab at the end of your little reply.

Yeah uh-huh, cute.

Information is about as rapid as money exchanges. There’s so much going around because News is 24/7 and there’s so many outlets that it will burn out anyone’s minds trying to follow it all. It was like with the Hong Kong protests, it got traction for a while, then something else happened and it was dropped within weeks.

And we have all of these wikis in existence where the legitimacy of the articles written, are constantly challenged through the edits of those that believe differently in how it should be written to the reliable sources conflicting with those beliefs.

And we have generations of people who do not remember the time of certain events as they’ve happened where previous generations did. So it can be harder for someone who wasn’t born around the time of Pearl Harbor and WWII to relate and take in information as opposed to the one who actually lived it.

Then we take into account of instances of history being re-written by revisionists, some sections of history is white-washed, censored, redacted .etc

Top it all off with how incredulous and sensationalist projections the media reports that just shits all over it.

And we have ourselves one big, informational train-wreck where almost nobody knows what to believe. So what most people do anymore is if a news report aligns with their beliefs, they’re going to take it at face value.

I’m a Half-Life/Portal kind of player.

I couldn’t get into Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead. Those games seemed to require sharp attention spans of which I don’t have for.

You could’ve constructed, I don’t know, a better thought-out opinion. What are you, 15?

I have joined MBin because I still miss KBin.

We don’t need technology for that when we’ve got the drugs that’ll do it more efficiently.

She’s too doll-like.

Fuck off, Saudi.

America is really bizarro world compared to other countries and how they handle things like this.

It just seems like in America, you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

That doesn’t make any sense to me.

Lets waste so much manpower, hours of labor, years of development and vice versa so that we can potentially taint the goodwill of fans by taking loss after loss and relying on them buying games they’ll never play on Steam.

Consoles are a bit more careful than this.

Not stated in the body of the post which you could’ve clearly have done.

And in order to be forgiven within our online frathouse, we demand that you post several unfunny and recycled memes. We also require it that you join in comment chains to continue a series of unfunny, repetitive jokes that stopped being funny a decade ago. And lastly, we would appreciate it if you never uttered a single word that would displease our hivemind should we report you to our lord and savior, u/Spez.

“And because that my karma points are incredibly higher than yours will ever be, my words are like gold and yours is like dirt. I know exactly what I speak of and know everything of Linux on the back of my hand and in my sleep. Moderator, please displace the trash that has decided to speaketh within our vicinity as I make a fabricated report that you are just a filthy little ban-evader despite having only encountered you for the first time ever”

Hell, Lemmy can be this way too or some other instance somewhere else in the fediverse. It is almost inescapable.

Did you get something that is along the lines of Microsoft saying you can extend one year of support? Because I remember getting that before I reinstalled my windows, like it was backed to October 2026 or something.

No. Supporting the other comments, the most you can do is reschedule them over and over. So you’re wasting time just pushing back the dates but you will forget one day and they’ll happen when you least expect it.

There is no way to turn them off and that is intent by design. Because Microsoft feels that the user needs their hand held anymore in making decisions based on a new computer they spent hundreds of dollars on, on top of whatever licenses they bothered spending more money on just so they can tell you when you will update. There is no choice, no option. You WILL do it and like it. Because Microsoft.

Most of the annoying updates I’ve found have been for .NET. Fuck .NET.

Yeah whatever. You’re still full of it.

That wasn’t the problem.

The problem was, when 9/11 happened, the USA’s clear-cut goal was to find Osama Bin Laden, who was the perpetrator of the 9/11 attack. 2 years later, didn’t find Osama, but we wound up in Iraq suddenly because President Bush and his administration had a discourse based on lies that excused them to go to war in Iraq. During that entire administration’s time, Osama was never found or caught until 2011 by Obama’s administration.

The death toll was 151,000 ~ 654,965 and the numbers varied wildly so much that the wiki regarding the death toll can’t narrow them down. What do you honestly consider ‘genocidal’? Because, the USA went into Iraq for no purpose other than to revive the Gulf War and oil under the guise of “We know that you are making Weapons of Mass Destruction somewhere!” that accounted for those deaths, largely of them are civilians mind you that had no business in this.

And yet you think that’s not genocide. Well, what’s the magical number to you then? Since it is obvious you didn’t get it.

That’s fine. That’ll just mean I’m a airborne disease since my invisibility would be infinite.

But that doesn’t mean he’s not going to shoot this down himself should it go on his desk.
