You honestly believe massively repressive regimes are more “civilized” than the US?

The Sims 4 is particularly egregious with its $600+ in DLC, and that’s with sales.

I don’t understand bigots. Now do I understand nonbinary? Not at all, since I’d think people are just thier biological gender without caring about concepts of masculinity or feminity. The difference is even though I don’t understand it and think trying to outright change language (all language I mean, of course people…

They are unhinged. Existing is “authoritarian” to them and an attack on “different points of view.” It’s sad.

It’s possible people cling to old times.  I have a very left wing friend online who used to love goofing off there.  I didn't follow the site so I don't know how gradual the shift was, but it wasn't originally as bad as it is now.  I'd be surprised, unless he just liked trolling them.

I thought of several examples but then realized they don’t qualify, because they aren't as disgustingly hateful as this.

You sabotaged any worth to your argument by immediately jumping into the “well to do people are better” nonsense. My parents wouldn’t have been able to rent one unit of this duplex these days, adjusted for inflation, whereas they bought the building decades ago.

It’s a mistake to frame it as one battle. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

That is racist. Look to history all over the world and you will see these problems aren’t unique to white people. There are cases in which you’re right, but pretending things are simple to frame to label the bad guys in nice cookie cutter terms is bread and butter bigoted ‘logic.’ Don't become just like those you…

It’s hard even to accept that because seldom does the media they freak about outright lack straight white men. The “most white men are either villains or on the side” thing does happen sometimes, but it’s not the regular situation and not the grand conspiracy the lunatics think it is. Things like the heroic Black man…

I suppose it’s sad that loony Republican governor probably has a winning strategy. When confronted with the fact his state has bad murder statistics, he countered asking if the residents “really believe that.” Welcome to the post-fact dump these people live in.

Bi erasure is a huge problem too though.  In the end not everyone can be pleased.  I don't know the details, but that's how ships will be.

It’s nuts. I was called “trash” and even stalked around in comments on this site by someone for the crime of regularly saying hatefulness is never okay.  People don't get a free pass for hatefulness all because they represent an otherwise good cause.  It's guilty until proven innocent and questioning the Twitter hate…

I love how Apple used to say it's "illegal" to run software they don't approve of on hardware other people bought from them.  What's scary is that's probably the long term goal, coupled with the war on the single-payment license.

The phone number discrimination is getting ridiculous. I can’t log in with the phone number I registered with years ago for a vending machine’s app where I work because it now says “please enter a valid phone number.”

It’s like the Kingdom Hearts situation: lots of free advertising over the absurdity.  This is an order of magnitude weirder, of course.

It’s not a “deal” it’s dishonesty at best. Let’s not pretend even a significant fraction of the people cheating regional pricing are anywhere close to bad off enough to justify it.

You seem to imply games could cost way less if only CEOs made less money. That is nonsense. Games cost significantly more to make and accounting for inflation cost significantly less than in the past. Chrono Trigger would have cost $150.00 today. And yes I know people hand wave that by extremely exaggerating in game…

That was the icing on the cake. Confirming the awfulness by saying you didn't directly say it.  Sometimes there is a middle ground.  People are human and few are saints that never say anything bad or that they regret.  By saying this, he acknowledged directly it wasn't a slip of the tongue.

I usually know what games I’m getting months if not years in advance, but every now and then there’s a review like this that really puts something in the spotlight. This sounds fascinating and unique.
