To second Zack’s point, I’ve recently been going through a lot of my old games and I’ve been finding that a lot of my hardware doesn’t work anymore. Sure, it’s probably just a matter of cleaning it or getting a part swapped or whatever, but the average person isn’t going to do that.

I wish publishers and more movers and shakers, generally, cared about preservation. Imagine if the move from film to VHS to DVD to Blu-ray killed, say, The Wizard of Oz. You have all these consoles with different architecture, different controls, different modes of copy-protection and multiple different things you…

If we just had reasonable copyright law, none of this would be an issue, but here we are. 

You can’t be racist against the majority, and 9 times out of 10 it’s a white guy. so fuck you, fuck off, and get fucked.

Thank you, I’ve been reading some of these replies in shock.

Defunding the police would not defund the types of cops who respond to active shootings, just the ones that shoot mentally ill people in crisis (AKA, take some of that police money and provide to social workers/mental health professionals because they are much less likely to murder someone in crisis). But I’d wager…

If guns aren’t the problem, it must be Americans with guns that are the problem.

It’s incredible how all these lone wolves that aren’t a problem have killed more Americans than jihadist terrorism since 9/11.

Not even a full week since the last one...
Yeah y’all really back to business as usual.
Good for you, being all done with covid and shit. No more quarantine, mass shootings are back, festival season will start soon. How great ! 

“Conservatives” and the Republican Party - not that there is ANY real difference in those two categories - have now moved away from actually having any goals whatsoever, other than retaining (and, if possible, again increasing) white/male/Xian privileges (concealed by either the most threadbare, obviously insincere…

Because a lot of Republicans actually believe no shooting occurred.

I was friends with Don, the first guy to get shot. I am so very tired of this, too.

Yeah, the aftermath of Sandyhook was when I lost all hope of meaningful change. If someone walking into a class and shooting twenty 6 year olds at point blank range didn’t move the gun regulation needle, then nothing will.

we need gun control

They already are. At least the coverage of them is anyway. Once a bunch of gun humping lunatics made it practically impossible to do anything about this legislatively after 20 first graders were murdered in their own goddamn school, it became abundantly clear that this shit is never going away.

Reaction #1 - 999: how appalling and horrible.

The suspect has been taken into custody by police and transported to a local hospital for an injury, authorities say.

I am moving to Denver in 2 weeks so this especially hurts my heart. Man, this brings me back to Cafe Racer when I still lived in Seattle. I kinda knew the mass shooter in that incident. He had been friends with my then husband for 20 years but I only met him once.  I am so very tired of this. 

Commenters going around really arguing that ‘well, actually, he doesn’t literally own billions of dollars in cash, so this criticism is nonsense’ and ‘Musk’s answer is good, because space travel is necessary for the future.” The irony regarding short-sightedness is palpable...

I can’t believe the people legitimately out here saying that we shouldn’t tax Musk fairly (because, be honest, that’s what’s at stake here) just because this billionaire shithead wants to put people in indentured servitude on Mars. Like, that’s literally what he has said—if people can’t afford his space travel, they…
