Yeah, we could have a world in which we have ultra rich billionaires individually wasting that of a small nation on the regular and no one doing anything to try to offset it. I 100% get the defeatism, but it really does no one any good.

My every day in traffic: “Ah yes, I’m driving a Honda, I almost forgot.”

Same with all the bridges in the bay

Sir, this is the shitpost community

For sure, I just hate the idea of my employer spying on me constantly. I guess ones that don’t are few and far between these days.

…Have you considered finding a new job, perhaps?

It still is, he’s just an idiot

Americans believing Americans are exceptional for no reason? Colour me shocked.

Holy retired gif

Be gay.

At will employment baybeee

I mean, I guess you can get a list of domain names accessed, but accessible data is still quite limited imo.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather avoid it entirely or use a VPN if I’m on such a network if I must.

I think most of the data going to and from your phone is gonna be https, I doubt it would provide much value tbh

Oh, the Swedish Democrats party? Yeah, they’re cool with gay people existing, but think marriage certification should be allowed to be denied on a case by case basis. They also hate foreigners and trans people.

…Because the conversation was literally about Valve? Wtf are you smoking lmao

I meant by major AAA studios. I also prefaced with “in the west” AND “one of the first,” not the first. Not sure why you brought up China, despite the phrasing.

I didn’t lie, you’re just twisting my words and building a strawman argument to attack.

Why the white knighting for Valve? I actively play Valve games and even participate in buying the occasional lootboxes. That doesn’t mean they don’t profit massively off of children gambling. They’re a multibillion dollar corporation and do not need your defence.

Criticism and observations != hatred.

…they’ve been actively peddling loot box based gambling to kids for 16 years.

They’re probably one of the first western gaming companies to introduce such a mechanic, even.

Lol, I like you. Likewise, cheers mate :)

No worries. Let’s just be chill lol.

I will say, I think you joined an argument to argue something no one was talking about.

athatet@lemmy.zip said Because people are not ‘illegal’ for crossing an imaginary line on a map. to which I responded, Where did he call anyone ‘illegal’?

No one is arguing about using the word illegal, but specifically labelling people as illegal. A person cannot be in and of themselves illegal, but they can illegally migrate. That’s the discussion. athatet seems to have mentally lumped me in with a group of ideologies of which I do not belong. I actually agree with athatet here and I was trying to show that we’re on the same page on this.

You barged in here on a completely different tangent for no reason swinging in full force derailing that. Maybe you yourself call undocumented immigrants “illegal immigrants,” but that’s a whole different discussion.

Anyway, hopefully that helps clarify my position and doesn’t come off confrontational at all. Thank you for your good faith response, I actually really appreciate it.

Can I just ask you a question and maybe get an actual answer? Like, why are you here? We could have had an actual conversation, but you’re just trying to get a rise out of me for literally no reason. What’s the point?
