Mozilla in early 2000s: We're glad we've broken you away from Internet Explorer's chains. You're welcome.

Trump definitely will.

He is a symbol for a large part of America where people will look at and wonder '...why?' even if they understood. Trump is just a symbol of everything wrong with America contained.

Vegeta.

Akira personally doesn't like him, which may explain so much as to why Vegeta really never got too much of the spotlight as Goku did. Sure, Saiyan Saga Vegeta is an irredeemable prick but by Freiza saga, he actually developed gradually. His complaints of being second to Goku gets tiring at times but it's a vessel he uses to actually keep going on.

It is because of him firing off that energy ki to Cell, is what gave Gohan the advantage he needed to finish Cell off for good since he was struggling even with Goku's help.

I just like the progress of Vegeta's character build. I like that even though he's not prodigy he was lead to believe in surpassing Goku, he's still second-best compared to the rest.

These days, all that dude now needs is a phone and probably a tablet. Maybe a laptop slung over his shoulder.

In a perfect world, every dollar we spend goes right to the creators who made the creation.

I would support musicians more if I knew my money was going straight to them. But a lot of the time, they aren't, so I pirate out of spite against the labels for robbing the musicians through contract, how much they get.

I would support movies more if I knew my money was going straight to them. But a lot of the time, they aren't, so I buy movies second-hand from thrift stores and not the studios themselves.

I would support games much more if I knew my money was going straight to them. But a lot of the time, they mostly aren't. So I buy games dirt cheap and occasionally pirate.

And the video games industry can give a single fuck less about preserving them. Only bringing them back for a limited time under reselling compilations or as we've seen, those small consoles a few years back where only a hand picked library of games were pre-installed on them. They're only brought out to simply make a quick buck, nothing more.

Dumb TVs. I love the option to turn it into a pseudo-smart TV with just a streaming stick. But, I'm always okay with a TV that just has the ports for basic things.

Out of those four, Cox is the one seemingly being the one who's combative. The other three will fold easily and are complicit with any demand the studios have done.

So it is very hard to imagine, really.

Uh so one side rabbled louder than the other side who also rabbled.

Haven't watched it, can't care to.

Oh my god, yes.

I've even talked with people who're like;

This..is an example sentence...just to tell you..something.

Usually you see that with older people not used to texting or someone who's first language is not english. But you see so many of that, it makes you wonder. I think they're trying to make it look like they're processing their thoughts as they're typing?

I don't expect people to be Charles Dickens here, but jesus, I'd rather someone take their time getting a thought out than for me to see a poorly written draft of it.

Same. Wished it had just stayed as an idea. Wished it had stayed as just a concept to be used in movies, games, shows and books. Wished it had just stayed in it's boundaries.

Capitalism makes me view the world and society as manufactured. Nothing I buy brings me true happiness, because it is just a means to survive or bring some bare minimum amount of comfort. Nothing out there to watch, play, read, listen to brings authentic joy as they once did, knowing how much capitalism has affected all of those mediums.

I've had to watch my dreams and ambitions die on the chopping block, because they'd require a level of financial stability or requirement I'd never ever get to see in my life even now.

They say you should turn your hobbies into a job. Well to me, my idea of a hobby is to enjoy and to escape. To monetize it, would mean I have to let that toxic friend be more of a friend than I am already at a discomfort with being my unintentional friend in the first place.

I already have a very jarred and jaded outlook on everything in the world, thanks to capitalism. I even despise the word 'consumer' because that's a derogatory term to devalue people by, but we've come to accept it unfortunately.

And one day, I will be a victim of this capitalism. I am just one car repair or emergency visit away from wanting sweet release.

That's some closeting coping mechanism right there.

I apply the rule to Temu.

They're only good for small things like enamel pins, maybe some stickers and probably some everyday average stuff.

I start getting skeptical when it comes to dealing with electronics, clothes, any furniture and any other good that's considerably higher value. That's when I turn to thrifting in some cases.

So all that these places are good for is again - smaller stuff.

It works on stupid people not in the know.

But it doesn't when you remind people about what Hollywood has done to it's workers when AI was introduced. Then remind them of the Writer's Strike. Then route them back to what the anti-piracy outfits want. Then have a good laugh because it is a good joke.

For a group of so-called intellectuals and rowdy revolutionists, Reddit users seem to have a knack for taking it up dry than doing anything about their problems.

I guess that is truly Reddit's nature.

When God of War was popular, they wanted a God of War of their own.

When Call of Duty was popular, they wanted a Call of Duty of their own.

When Overwatch was popular, they wanted a Overwatch of their own.

When Fortnite was popular, everyone wants their own Fortnite.

Rinse and repeat.

And Spez's response?

"OMG! STOP GOING DARK OR I AND MY LEGION OF SLIME ADMINS WILL REMOVE YOU FROM POWAH!"

And so he did which is why some subreddits came back from being dark. Some subreddits submitted to their own fates. Other subreddits reluctantly came back, proving the protest was just a mere farce that amounted to a nothingburger.

And what did Spez do after the whole fiasco? Why, he punched Reddit into now being Public. Completing what people had long speculated that he'd do.

And what did Spez do after that? He's now rolling out the concept that Subreddits will be monetized.

Spez has ultimately learned nothing from these incidents and expects it to get better, with that stupid shit eating grin on his face because he huffs and breathes in all of Musk's farts.

That should be a mandatory phrase for all pirate communities.

Because the bigots seemed to have found ways to get in positions of influence to spread their toxic ideologies and get laws passed that targets their 'enemies'. Even when the Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that same-sex marriage is legal, I knew in the back of my mind that things are far from over. Because after that? Like one month later, Kim Davis denied legalizing a same-sex marriage.

And things seemed to have worsened thanks to the existence of people like DeSantis, Trump and any GOP still somehow breathing that wants to antagonize everyone over sexual orientation. Because in their psychotic structure, they want America to be purely Christian, purely White and probably Blonde, Blue-eyed and fair skinned.

Even in 2004, George W Bush back then on February was quoted to have said: "Our Nation must defend the sanctity of marriage". What he means is, to protect the sanctity of STRAIGHT marriage because he seems to have it in his head that marriage is the property of the church and all that shit.

Doesn't that sound exactly like the kind of people a certain country named Germany aspired to be like back in WWII? Ironic.
