It's probably safer if people stick to primary sources with good reputations anyway, right?

You don't think that Valve was waiting until the supply chain was ready before making this announcement?

Or: publicity stunt

My observation of this substance was that it was similar to a low grade opiate and seemed to be quite habit forming among several people I knew that tried it.

Couldn't someone DDoS the major mining pools?

I'm not sure that Nintendo cares too much about AAA shooter games.

I pretty much only play Nintendo titles or small indie games and I have never experienced any framerate issues.

Squadron 42 was supposed to be a stand alone game that was part of it, still not ready https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/28/22203055/star-citizen-squ...

It's constantly funded with taxes... why would you want a bunch of money sitting around losing value to inflation?

Why do you feel qualified to offer medical advice like this? Are you a medical doctor?

Why would you rely on a company that is banned? https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2019/09/us-finalizes-r...

About the development of, distribution of, and continued stability of access to natural resources... which benefits everyone.

Lots of people still need to learn that the primary objective is for the colony to be successful and even if you personally get a high score you lose the game if the colony fails. Also, Wumpus hunting is underrated.

"We're supposed to be free to spend our money without the indignity of having to explain things to some bank or government."

Why do you think that?

Discord is basically modern IRC. Twitch.tv chat is IRC based.

Retirement funds and endowments? ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN are all part of publicly owned companies are they not?

I think that it's closed so that you are forced to receive an invitation to join, and to send an invitation you have to give the app access to your phone's contacts (at least on iOS when I looked at it, quickly uninstalled). There were a number of dark patterns utilized to try and get elevated permissions and access to contacts.

That's a straw man. They're saying that hundreds of millions of Chinese people (and others around the world) have risen out of poverty because of globalism. You're only giving credit for the negative impacts of globalism, and in kind of a duplicitous manner.

Who funded the study?

Based on the frequency with which Windows 10 decides to reset my default browser to Edge "because reasons" I disagree.

The real problem with that model, I think, is that the people who can afford to pay to opt out are the same people that are most valuable as ad recipients.

I feel the same way about Twitch. They recently added unblockable, unskippable ads unless you subscribe to the specific channel that you're watching and I just don't watch Twitch any more for the most part.

They got bought by Zoom. Hard pass.

Maybe because whatever entity created bitcoin controls what, like 9% of all bitcoin? And nobody knows who or what they are? Why would anyone want to be involved in a financial system that functions that way?

That's a shockingly cynical view. Not everyone exists purely to make money.

"Up to 70% of drivers are like me and do a good job, like the freedom to work when and where they want, and would like you to vote yes on Prop 22 if you are in California."

Do you work for a PR company?

Are you basing those positions on an article by a tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch that was released 3 weeks before an election?

Do you have a reputable source for that claim?

They said bluechip tech stocks. Companies that have been around for decades and aren't going anywhere. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Intel, etc.
