  • That's definitely not universal. I personally have heard people say racist, transphobic, etc. stuff without anyone shunning them because they were co-workers, relatives and other groups you can't shun without things getting awkward. Besides, aren't you in fact advocating for not having Nazi and pedo shit around, since the obvious analogy for being shunned IRL would be getting banned online for being a Nazi or pedo?

  • This is the correct answer. I used to wear a smartwatch before realizing most of the features were useless or actively annoying, and a regular watch will tell me the time just as well and doesn't need to constantly be charged. Do you really want your wrist to buzz every time you get an e-mail? If you're going to spend €50 on a smartwatch, spend it on a Casio instead, that's what I did and it's much better value for money.

  • It's like that 80s news footage of the first McDonald's opening in Moscow where they're like

    ”finally those filthy commies get to enjoy our superior Western treats”

    Then they interview someone who says it wasn't really worth it to stand in line and pay so much

  • "Animal cruelty is fundamentally not so bad, and we shouldn't shut down animal abuse farms because someone else would abuse the animals anyway"

    Literally the same argument as "we shouldn't pollute less cuz India and China"

  • Early piracy for me was getting PC games on floppy disks from friends and relatives. It was kind of just accepted everyone who had a computer would copy their games and software for everyone else.

    It owned tbh.

  • The DC did have copy protection, it would've made no sense to release a disc-based console in the late 90s without it considering CD burners were becoming ubiquitous (some early CD-based consoles like Sega CD didn't have copy protection because nobody really had the means to write CDs at home). Sega believed their proprietary GD-ROM format would prevent piracy, but ironically it was another format called MIL-CD Sega introduced with the DC that allowed it to be exploited and cracked games to be run without the need to modify the console.
