My guess:

It isn’t really because that term is hardly ever taken to mean something physically harmful or deadly serious. If you want to be pedantic, people could just say ‘negatively impacts consumers’.

“Hurting consumers” is a serious fuckin stretch tbh

This is my biggest issue with their stance on cloud gaming.  Game Pass and Stadia are EXACTLY like netflix and spotify just with games.  It’s simply a way for them to push their Apple TV gaming ecosystem and forcing other companies to bow out.  Leaving Apple with all of the profits.  I really don’t understand how…

Count yourself among the lucky ones. I lost my launch 360 to the RRoD, because of course I did. My launch 60gig PS3 — read: best PS3, RIP — caught the YLoD, which while not as prevalent as the RRoD, was a bigger issue than people realize. Had that repaired, but it happened again. The thermal paste was just not having…

you folks should really scroll up and read my story.

I’m sure Disney ran the numbers and read the room just fine. 

For the record, you’ve been able to buy games digitally from the Nintendo website for many, many years (if my memory is correct, they’ve had this support for almost a decade). Games for the Wii U, 3DS, and Switch are all available on nintendo.com and they download directly to your console if you have your account…

“But there’s simply nothing that can explain takingSuper Mario 3D All-Stars off sale.”

Or stopping one kid from serving with an amazing group of people. Learning responsibility, commitment, and discipline. Potentially traveling the world and experiencing other cultures first hand instead of just reading about them on blogs.

Not since WWII has the US military been involved in a direct conflict that made any difference to our personal freedom and liberties at home.

what threats are they detering

I honestly really hate these blanket statements on the military. My brother entered the military and able to pay for his PhD thanks to that, have a stable career working in the research and development of vaccines, therapies, and treatments for a variety of illnesses that you won’t see most civilian facilities bother…

Both Biden and Harris have expressed direct support for BLM.  It’s completely inappropriate for them to turn it into a campaign slogan.  That’s nothing more than appropriation for political gain.  

Or, bear with me here, maybe people with a platform, like Ethan, shouldn’t do their best to make sure there is low energy and thus low turnout in November.

Fyi, you come across as insufferable, not witty in this post. 

the raised fist isn’t exclusively a BLM symbol. it was co-opted by BLM from other movements.

It’s a raised fist... it was in use LONG ago, and it’s been used in fiction forever. It was an anarchist symbol a hundred years ago, it’s been used by anarchists, the black panthers, communists of various stripes and more. It’s a good generic “angry faction that doesn’t like the government” symbol because its…

In there defense...slightly...when they say diverse, multi-cultural, and of various faiths they mean from around the world. They don’t mean the cookie cutter american version of a checklist of actual skin colors. Black? check! Yellow? check! Brown? check! and so on.

I used to troll the Kunark and later expansions in Everquest by charming an invisible untargetable mob hidden in the corner of the maps. (It was used to do zone wide announcements or event related text).
