• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electronic Arts (EA) officially sold off to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Jared Kushner and others⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Battlefield series always had been my favorite (and basically only) game that I’ve playet over the past 15 years or so. I stopped after battlefield 5, never saw the last one, and I know I will never play it ever again which makes me a little sad. I loved playing Ina group of coworkers and friends together, forming multiple squads and working together to a goal.

  Good times, but all good thongs…

  Its a gambling site.

  Its a gambling site that allow you to gamble on human lives

  Its a site that has already given ma y people perverse incentives to tip the scale into their favor by intimidating and threatening journalists at the very least.

  And you are on about French human rights? Wut?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France orders internet providers to block access to Polymarket prediction site⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a fucking market, it’s a gambling site and the worst type of it. Its gambling on if a human being will die, if somebody will suffer, if wars will be won or lost

  This website is the absolute anus of the internet, only shit comes out of it, aside from the eventual dick head coming in

  Yeah, press X to doubt that AI is generating child pornography from medical literature.

  These fuckers have fed AI anything and everything to train them. They’ve stolen everything they could without repercussions, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them fed their AIs child porn because “data is data” or something like that.

  Well they said they’re sorry, so that must fix it all, right?

  Or, and hear me out on this one, you grovel on your knees, publicly, rehire all the fired employees, pay them all for the time they were without a job, and pay each one of them a few thousand extra for their troubles…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It IS easy to use for most people

  There really isn’t much complications in the way of installing and using linux, I think it’s even fair to say that at this point it’s easier than windows.

  The reason annoying people like me exist is because people like me see people like you paying money for shit and then complain about the smell. You don’t need to smell shit, you know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So in other words, switch to Linux, never look back, bever again use anu Microsoft software or product. Done.

  Yeah and in no way would that EVER be abused. No way that the definition of what constitutes hate speech would ever be skewed or abused either… It’s not that easy, man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  For sure, if they follow you outside the game that is a big hard red line there, but then again, I always keep things like that very separate.

  Never had anyone telling me to kill myself, but in other instances where they’d get annoying I’d simply mute them and continue playing. That is what I Mena with thicker skin.

  There will always be racists and bigots, I don’t think you can stop it completely while the harder you try to control it, the more restrictive you become and the more you suck the fun out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Though there is enough to be said about racism and homophobia, I think we should also be really careful with not overshooting in the other direction. I used to love shit talking with a small group of friends. No, I’m not a racist, I’m a minority, but we have a different kind of humor, which is not politically correct and we use it to kind of vent about real issues. I do know that we’d be banned in a heartbeat (we have been before) and for what? We never bother anyone, we never stalk or hareass anyone and typically were in our own little group.

  I do think people should grow a thicker skin as yes yes a thousand times yes, racism is bad, homo/trans/bi/whatever phobia is bad, it’s all bad, but these days you need to watch every word you say lest you want to get banned. Calm down, don’t ban people over jokes that in your eyes are tasteless.
