  • For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:

    Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition

    Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery

    Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal

    Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers

    Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement


  • I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of “wtf is wrong with you” reactions).

    The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don’t think it’s a troll, or if it is it’s convincing. I just can’t believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.


  • For those saying they didn’t know about this, it’s because they never actually released anything. They got shut down unexpectedly before they finished any projects. Allegedly there are still some in-development games based on Netflix properties that will still be released on their gaming service, and the service itself will stay up. It’s just the studio itself that was shut down.





  • Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter’s worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like “you know what, take it for free”. He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.






  • If you look at the comments under any YouTube video about Gaza or Lebanon, it’s mostly people cheering it on, especially on videos from major media outlets.

    It seems like people understand the immense human toll and just don’t care because they want to see Israel continue to take out alleged military targets regardless of civilian deaths. It’s truly evil and reminiscent of any other genocide in history, the victims just aren’t respected as humans.

    I’m tired of seeing this over and over, even in the information age. I’m starting to be convinced that humanity is just not viable as a species and is destined to destroy itself ad infinitum over shit like this.

    I mean… it’s probably good to talk about these things before getting married, since it will inevitably lead to unresolved feelings later on. I wouldn’t mind if, for instance, my partner was a slut while I was a sexless virgin before we got together, but I would at least want to know that about them. In my mind you’re supposed to talk about your life experiences with your partner, and sex is falls under that umbrella. Idk, maybe I’m weird for thinking that.





  • Stochastic terrorism needs to have more severe criminal penalties for career politicians specifically. Right-wing figureheads have been getting away with this shit for too long.

    We’re now penalizing the parents of school shooters, so if we find out that someone who threatens to bomb a school is a super fan of X person, then X person should face some sort of penalty if they continually put out deliberate lies about said school. We did a version of this with Alex Jones already, just follow through with that logic honestly.

    “Pretending to run people over” is a crime lol. At least in the States. That’s textbook assault (making someone fear bodily harm), and arguably reckless driving or endangerment.

    What is it about cars that make people into psychopaths? Or does it just bring out these things in already bad people?
