I have no reason to disagree that the game released was ultimately the best version of itself, but to say that—in the context of the whole development cycle—the game that was released was not compromised in any way feels disingenuous and dishonest to me.

Not the only ways to do it by far, but I do agree with you that most people just pay for streaming services.

People don't pirate music

Precisely this. Consumer VPNs are not tools for security or anonymity. They won't protect you from most kinds of fingerprinting or tracking beyond IP-based tracking. They have relatively specific uses. I recommend Privacy Guides' article on them for further reading: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/vpn-overview/

I took 7 1/2 years. Everyone moves at different speeds. Comparison is the thief of joy.

I have friends and a family who care about me, and I've been listening to one of my new favorite podcasts, "You're Wrong About".

That's about all that's getting me through life right now.

I've been using a SimpleLogin alias on Patreon for a while and have never been flagged, so there's that.

To put it in a way that's slightly less genteel than the other posters, let me tell you my motto that I live by as someone with multiple mental illnesses:

Mental illness is no excuse for being an asshole.

Just in case anyone didn't feel like reading the article, here's the last (and imo most important) paragraph:

However, without changing the DMCA, we can't expect to see real, lasting change in this space. Doctorow said as much to me: "What we really need to do is get rid of DMCA 1201, that law that makes it a crime to format shift your media...it's the same law that stops farmers from fixing their tractors, blocks independent mechanics from fixing your car, stops rivals from setting up alternative app stores for phones and games consoles...this law is a menace!"

Not real, but certainly creative.

Yeah, my friends and I always used Forgotten Realms lore as a base in homebrew settings and then just do whatever on top of it, like that one time we had chocobos in a campaign LOL

can't imagine you would have many problems on opensuse tumbleweed

What's your favorite cut of human meat, and who are you looking to murder and eat next?

So... straight hair gets greasier the longer it goes without being washed, right? There lots of reasons for that, a few being brushing, combing, running your fingers through it, or just the oil running down it. Well, the curlier your hair is, the harder those things are to do. In fact, oil often won't run down the strands at all on very curly hair, so you'll be left with an oily scalp and increasingly dry hair. Shampoo is inherently oil stripping, and if you put it on curly hair that's already lacks oil, you'll just make it even more frizzy and awful. Hence, a lot of people with curly hair forego shampoo.

I use Firefox and I literally am a woke vegan.

Dammit, I lost the game.

I'm like 80% sure this person is a troll.

He also shit his pants on the golf course and there's photos of it.

Unfortunately untrue.
