“The pope may be French, but Jesus Christ is English!” –Roland, A Knight’s Tale

Probably one of my favorite quotes from.any movie ever.

Their brutish trolls

Def misread this as their British trolls, a misinterpretation I fully support.

you could stand up and fight for that

For best results, do not do spontaneously (that is, go grab some friends and coworkers before attempting to take on a big business)

Probably in the same holiday season as Elder Scrolls VI

See, I just don’t see that working for the Auth half of the Compass. Like, what would an Anarchist Auth Center look like?

Also, not to not pick, but I thing centrist/decentralized would clarify the distinction (at least as I think you mean it).

Yeah, I was reading a news article to this effect the other day.
Hell if I saved it and/or remember where I saw it, but shouldn’t be too hard to dredge up a news report to that effect.

Naw, I just kidnapped a bunch of people and left some dirty old blankets laying around /s

Now there is a $10k cap which includes your state taxes paid

I figured there was something I was missing and I think thats it.

Fwiw, I really appreciate the long-ish form response. I feel most others were content to downvote and move on, but I feel I’ve learned something that I wasn’t otherwise motivated to go learn on my own.

How is that punishing to city dwellers?

I get that it rewards non-city dwellers more than people who live in cities, but is that really the same thing?

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

Eh, got lost looking for ground ginger. Started in the spice aisle, but they were out, so some directed me to the produce area (apparently didn’t realize I didn’t want whole ginger). After a bit more wandering, I turned some up in the Asian food section.

Unironically saw this meme while in line after having just done that.

Naw, so my line of thinking:

“People” wouldn’t say that tankies are leftists
Tankies would say that they are leftists
Thusly, tankies must not be people

I do want to say that I mean this completely in jest. While I don’t like nor get along with tankies types, I do understand there is a fundamental level of human respect that they still deserve (I just really liked the quick hitting punch line).

Edit: Formatting

Are you implying that tankies aren’t people?

Cause that’d be pretty based.

I bet rent is still above the national average.

Like, I don’t want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I’ve ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.

I have no intent to sign up for this “lawsuit”, even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.
