Christian in what sense?

Very relevant.

Basically, it’s a combination of new foods and exposure to new bacteria.

It doesn’t, but that doesn’t mean people can’t believe that it does.

Beliefs and personal convictions muck that up a bit though.

There’s a sadly significant portion of people who truly believe that being gay is hurting other people.

Whether they believe it only because they were told to or for some personal reason, they believe it nonetheless.

Ultimately, the ideal (but incredibly unrealistic) solution would be a global, coordinated effort to immediately remove from power everyone who abuses their power along with a dedication to continuing to do so whenever another pops up, regardless of the personal cost. Bringing them down with us is only slightly less unrealistic.

I ultimately have no desire to see them suffer, I simply want them out of power, and I think that for the sake of the future, it’s worth any cost that they might pay.

As John Brown said: “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.” And he was right about that. If we cannot achieve a better future with little bloodshed, then we owe it to the future to achieve it with any amount of bloodshed necessary.

No amount of suffering that those in power experience could ever match the amount of suffering that forever failing to remedy the problem will cause to the quadrillions of humans that could exist in the future or even just the billions that exist now. If we humans unable to band together to eliminate threats, even those from within, then we will suffer like this forever. It’s better to try and fail than to passively allow it to continue for the rest of history.

If all there is is suffering for us, then why not ensure that those in power are along for the ride with us?

“The devil you know” and all that.

Cool, don’t care.

It’s better than the alternative.

You’re 10k years off the Pleistocene.

I remember when Steam the software was the worst piece of software on my computer. And it stayed that way for long enough that it became a meme.

My point is that owning games was never any good because there was always some severe limitation on your legal rights since the game itself is a piece of software and there’s no universal way to guarantee your ownership of a piece of software.

The disk could always break. If there was any online component, they could always take down the servers. Or if the game was broken from the start or became broken at any point, they could always just never provide the necessary update to make it playable.

I’ve never really been one to sell my games because I’m always wanting to go back and play them later, so I can’t really offer any input on that fact.

I just prefer the system that gives me at least a paper thin guarantee over the one that’s less convenient and has absolutely no guarantee.

At least it’s digital rights control now instead of your rights depending on a fragile piece of plastic and aluminum.

What good is legally owning a game if I lose access to it just because it physically broke? I’d still have to buy it again (or pirate it) if anything happened to the disk, so IMO, it’s a wash.

We give up legal rights in exchange for extra short term safety and convenience. And if Steam or the developer ever takes it away from me, I can always just go pirate it to get it back.

I’m fine with the dongle because all I ever use the headphone jack for is for listening in my car (no bluetooth), so the dongle just stays on the end of the aux cord in my car.

No dongle would obviously be better, but it’s a very minor inconvenience for me,

And the two established businesses just artificially lower their prices to keep out the competition, forcing the third to stop trying to compete.

Ah, the contrarian.

If you let other people ruin something for you, that’s on you, not them. Especially if they “ruin” it by celebrating and enjoying it.

Only thing I can figure is to have more space for that ad.

Yeah, those are the only ones I see that I’d be able to justify with your requirements. (and two of them are ones you mentioned)

For cases with a solid metal or acrylic side panel, you can always just make space for fans on them.

The use of the word “milk” to refer to plant-based milks is older than the country in which this argument is occurring.
