Genuinely though, it would not surprise anymore. We have subscription based cars selling your info to insurance companies, retroactively ammended purchase experiences everywhere, and every dang app and website harvesting as much info on you as physically possible no matter how mundane.

Dick info reporting toilets would not at all catch me by surprise at this point.

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Well not that shocked.

Don’t worry, nothing will be done. Bacon and nuggies are more important to people than the world their children inherit.

But I like seeing the rational debate!

So I can practice spotting fallacies and facepalm when people completely miss the point and counter with something that might be logically sound but is practically terrible.

Ouch.

If that’s what it is them that’s awesome. I want to be able to see a company do something that sounds like a good thing without that back of the mind thought of ‘what are they up to…’

Steam being actually based would be great.

Found in the comments on Steam. On one hand, I love that Steam is going in the opposite direction of literally every other company. On the other hand, it does seem like it’s not being done to be good guys.

It still was a nice surprise to see “btw no forced arbitration”.

Edit: I am too lazy to look for real sources, so take this with a grain of salt and go look for the real sources I’m too lazy to look for.

Is this what the new subscribe-to-drive cars look like inside? Just a straight up tablet where the music and heat controls are supposed to be?

I have it. This is sorcery.

So you’re saying I should skibidi that sigma fanum tax gyatt to help make it stop?

… I hate that I typed that.

Rizz can stay though. That ones decent.

They pushed the version with microtransactions as the main version (Changing Minecraft Bedrock to just Minecraft and changing Minecraft to Minecraft Java).

Not to mention microtransactions existing in any real version of the game at all. Once upon a time, that was a joke. Now it’s not a joke.

If you’ve played it before, it has the same feel imo.

There’s new lands, more QoL, new pals. Nothing drastic I’ve noticed from its release state.

Think Minecraft and then Minecraft after like 3-4 updates.

That is a very happy cat.

I remember the alot. Sure did a good job helping me remember that “a lot” was two words and not one.

Different people react to different things. It takes many approaches to reach multiple types of humans.

I personally reacted after months of being shown hypocrisy, with the tipping point being when I said there’s no problem with eggs and dairy before I was shown what the egg and dairy industries do.

Part of that process was really realizing, not just knowing but consciously thinking about and considering the fact that humans are also meat. I am meat. The cats I loved were meat. My human family is meat. It’s not okay to eat them in a sandwich. Why is it okay to eat strangers in a sandwich?

No one approach will work on every human, and many people take a lot of different approaches over time to really understand.

Vegan is a philosophy, not a diet. The word you’re looking for is plant-based, not vegan.

A vegan wouldn’t buy leather shoes or woolen sweaters. Someone on a plant-based diet would.

Dogs taste better anyways. Can’t beat a good Elwood’s steak!

Oh look! The reason I cancelled my Netflix subscription!

This kid is good.

AI really has a lot of practice with Shrek.

I gave you some from a girl to help balance things out!

But I can promise you, from many years net positive on reddit and a not disimilar result here, that you’re not reading your own tone.

Be mindful of the tone, only come off as combative against a near universally disliked topic, and know when you don’t care to curate yourself and are ready for the downvotes.

Your wording here makes you out to be combative, and people are combative in response. Read your own comments as if they’re directed AT you. And look specifically at what’s likely to make you want to argue back. You may even be surprised at what can get net positive response with the right wording.
