As someone who started with 3 and is enjoying a replay and low key excited to do the dlcs on that one for the first time, these comments are making me more optimistic about trying 1 and 2.

Actual hacking when it was cool and not a dick move.

BTW? Did you just recommend that i search about it on Tik Tok?

Ya, if you want to find some lawyers that have a vested interest in what is going on with TikTok that Google and Microsoft aren't suppressing, you might want to check out the platform we are actually talking about. It's great at quickly spreading uncensored information (the real reason the fed is trying to ban it. They want us dumb and eating up their propaganda).

Just an idea.

Then your quick search is balls and if you have nothing to the contrary, you have as much footing as me.

I'm good with that.

TikTok "legality of selling the algorithm". Mountains of takes.

Admittedly, I don't know the details, so I'll concede readily if someone has something to say I'm flat out wrong, but TikTok is on fire with lawyers posting their legal analysis of the situation, and the overwhelming concensus that a couple years ago, a series of laws were passed that would make it illegal for a US company to purchase a Chinese algorithm.

The company, the branding, yes.

Specifically the algorithm, no.

Paranoid people who don't know how to open a PDF passed laws that make that nearly, if not entirely, impossible.

Or so a bunch of lawyers that have side TikTok gigs say.

They are anticipating that being a core argument when TikTok US sues the federal government.

No, it's not.

Abstaining from voting is an option the voter is given.

I bet you have a heck of a time differentiating apples, oranges, and pears.

By the dictator, you mean the one running the genocide and expanding spying on the civilian population as we currently speak, right?

In fact, even if they wanted to they can't.

Remember the "algorithm panic" that happened a couple years ago? The one that saw Zuckerberg the subject of a senate hearing?

During that, they made it illegal to sell algorithms.

So the TikTok logo can be sold, but it is illegal for them to sell the algorithm that is TikTok.

Spoken like a 2nd year doctor or a 3rd year nurse.

The point is a 24 year old doesn't need to bring about a stroke today from constant panic because of their BP.

I was and am there.

The best thing they can do is not listen to people like you trying to spike their BP with panic.

Blood pressure charts are made by 100lb 5ft4in doctors who run a mile every day and live on a diet of kale and insist everyone should measure the same way.

You're fine bro.

Your worrying about your blood pressure is raising your blood pressure.

I was amped for FO4 on release.

I had a relative potato pc at the time.

All was pretty great until I tried to mount some power armor.

Took about 6 hours of crawling through the steam forums until a kind fellow player showed me which ini to change in what way to get the game to work.

They "lost" 4 billion dollars like the Pentagon "lost" 12 billion dollars in Iraq?

I guarantee you that Meta has become the biggest Top Secret spying agency for the US government.

All that money got "lost" into straight up spying programs.

Because the world has long since surpassed far beyond 1984 levels of spying on unsuspecting innocent civilians.

As long as you ensure a US based entity is spying on you with it, and not a China based entity, then no.

So the NSA, FBI and CIA are thanking China for assisting in their efforts, right?

They can want it all they want. I don't give a fuck. It's shameful that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is giving them what they want, that's not on me.

I care about what I want.

I want my President, the President representing the party I used to affiliate with, to not be a genocidal maniac who expands spying on his citizens. Who doesn't restrict their free speech under the guise of national security when it is clear that it is all about money. Who does ANYTHING to combat homelessness, outrageously priced increasingly unattainable healthcare, skyrocketing inflation, the death of direct home ownership instead of just going "Everything is fine. Bidenomics. Catchy, huh?"

I could keep going on.

Biden is a shitbag human being unfit for the office. And I can count on my fingers with plenty left to spare how many Democrat politicians as a whole aren't just as bad or worse.

Again, it is not on me that the Democrat party disenfranchised me and became a fascist carbon copy of early 2000s Republicans that I can not in good conscience cast a vote for. That is on the Democrat party.

I refuse to reward the Democrat parties absolutely abhorrent behavior over the past 2 years with a vote.

When the options are fascism and genocide or fascism and genocide there is no "winning".

You abstain and don't contribute to the ethos of either agenda.

"I agree. He supports genocide. You should vote for him."

You are the problem.

Money.

Period.
