Sure, but what we are going to do about it now matters far more than what we're going to do with the people no longer in a position to do anything about it.

I googled up this article that says about three quarters of the world uses smartphones. (Citation)

Unless, for some reason, you're referring to dead people. Which seems like a weird addition.

Edit: I tried finding computer usage, but all it gave me was overall internet usage. I'm gonna blame my dependence on google for that one, though.

Probably because it does nothing now while children are burning to death.

It should definitely not be forgotten... but it also shouldn't be our focus. Because if you focus on the inconsequential you get the situation we've constantly been in the last... well probably at least as long as the US has been a thing.

If this were more like reconstruction after the US civil war, where the damage has been done and we're trying to recover from it, it might be the same. Where forgiving past mistakes causes massive consequences that are still being felt. We're not at that point yet, if we ever manage to get there.

Honor is a flexible concept, especially for Klingons.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't been in playschool when yeet became a thing.

Gotta pierce that fog, baby!

So not exactly a hell freezing over situation, more of a blue moon?

But a game doesn't have to be on GOG to not have DRM.

Doesn't DRM often get removed after a game wanes in popularity as it's no longer worth the price to keep up the Denuvo license?

Well it's midnight with no street lights, it's super foggy, and the roads are icy as fuck.

Is skydiving a mission? Is deep sea diving? Those are dangerous, but are as much novelties as these space flights.

Slowly over time.

Luckily there's plenty of younger douchebags to take their place, so we don't have to worry about them running out!

Star Trek: F•r•i•e•n•d•s?

Speaking of ad hominem...

Which has nothing to do with sink-pissing.

Right! You can cast doubt on their honesty by pointing out that they have lied before. That's called evidence.

However, saying they do the same thing as the other guy is not evidence of them lying. That's whataboutism and ad hominem.

Game of Thrones would not have improved with more seasons. The problem wasn't that they didn't have enough time to finish it, it's that it was unfinishable. There was almost no way to provide a satisfying conclusion. It's true of pretty much every series that lived and died by constantly escalating conflict with no resolution.

Capitalist institutions push capitalism? What kind of world is this!

No, that's literally whataboutism. It's saying the merit of their accusation is based on their history of doing that thing rather than evidence of who they're accusing of doing it. Fairly typical ad hominem attack.
