Yeah I didn't know at first but now knowing who it is, the need to punch is now tripled.

I mean look at that fucking grin! That's a grin of "hue hue, I am CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech corp and I know my corporation has such a stranglehold on a lot of things in the internet world! YOU'RE ALL MY SLAVES TO MY SERVICES PEASANTS!"

"I'm being brutally honest here!" As they can't figure out any other way to articulate saying the same thing without it being as blunt and offensively direct as possible

I've never immediately felt the need to punch a face ever before seeing the guy on the left. I know Mark has a slappable face, but that guy grinning makes me want to punch him.

Anytime a GOP politician is asked for a straight answer for why they do the shit they do.

Nintendo's first party games, their top priority is to make games as fun as possible. Looking for a Mario game to be 'good' in the standards of what you consider to be good, is like hoping one day a Kirby game becomes soulslike because you felt they're too easy. The thing with Mario games is that, everyone is going to have a handful of Mario games that they like and they'll have some that didn't do it for them. I personally think Super Mario World is some of the best well-packaged Mario games around and I think Mario Teaches Typing is hot garbage.

GOP Senator: "Uh, so?"

Yeah I'd love nothing more than to see someone floor a stupid GOP senator. God damn it, Bernie!

Sinema never was a democrat anyways.

That's what they really want to return. They all must've read Mein Kampf, applied it to Trump/Republican and thus we've got a new nazi regime in the works. It's been over 78 years since the end of WW2 and these bastards are orchestrating a reason for WW3 because power fantasies.

Yes it is because anyone would want nobody to know what's going on behind curtains or behind closed doors.

Also, you're going down a series of slippery slopes which is not making me take you seriously and you're going completely hyperbole here. You're acting as if places like Google are happily pitching people's data around and exploiting people for their own gain. You're taking the template of what a scammer/hacker would do and overlaying on Google, the two just can't compare. They operate under different things and they aren't the same.

You see, I trust Google/Discord/Telegram in the sense that they are in a way, protecting data. They may be harboring a lot, but they're miles better than some rando off in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with too much time on their hands who gets off on hoarding people's data for ammo/dirty laundry purposes. There's that difference again.

Also, in the event of online crimes being reported, it is necessary for that data to be tapped into and used against a violator online as evidence. So what are you saying, that we shouldn't collect data and allow online pedophiles not be recorded so that they can get off scot-free on preying on minors online?

I've been online for 27 years, dude. I'm not some shrub who's scared to look over my shoulder at everything because I know what the hell I'm doing. I really do have nothing to hide. I've pirated on open wi-fi networks, I've pirated on non-VPN connections and the worst I've got from it was a letter from an ISP telling me to stop. By the way, I've been pirating for 15 of those 27 years, mind you. Oh and yeah I've been a big asshole to people who've recorded me being said asshole. Are you saying also that people shouldn't be held accountable for their actions online if we don't record them? Pfffft...

Again, the worst thing corporations have done with our data so far, is just market to us. Things we can IGNORE and work around. Boo-hoo.

If you can't see between the lines at this point, then you're just lost.

That is irrelevant because this entire debate is about online activity. Apples and oranges, dude.

Yet the people advocating hard for privacy and everything have PLENTY to hide.

Prove me wrong.

I use both. Sometimes some people or services I e-mail through proton, don't really get through and it's annoying. It forces me to use GMail so that we can communicate better. I did a 2 year extensional trial of Proton to discover that I infact don't really store a lot of e-mail so I don't even find being restricted to 500MB as bothersome though I do upgrade to 1GB to be certain. I never ever see anything I store through e-mail exceed even 100MB.

The one thing I'll really accredit Proton for is that, I don't need mobile numbers or anything to register. Outlook, AOL, GMail .etc want to through you in a frustrating web of an obstacle course where you've "got to have" a back up, you've "got to have" a mobile number, you've "got to have" all of these unnecessary things to register. Even with the understanding that those e-mail services once not have those requirements before changing over, presumably over service abuses, there can be better ways.

I hate Google, the corporation and how they've long stopped tip-toeing the middle line of "don't be evil" because by law, corporations has to be evil in nature and Google has fallen into that. I only like Google for Mail, Voice, Maps, YT (acquired, I know) and it's syncing features. I've lived quite comfortably without a lot of it's tried and failed experimental services. I do feel it's search function has corroded into being borderline useless for a good long while now.

About the whole privacy issue, I argue that, even before Google, we've been handing our information over to many places online for decades. Wherever we register to post online to forums, wherever we want to shop online like Ebay .etc We've been doing it for a long time. It's only been like a few years before people realized this too late and it's like, dude, you're just knowing this now? I just think the people complaining a lot about privacy anymore are people whom I suspect have an interesting track record of malicious intent and purposes behind their actions at some level.

If the worst that Google can do is use my data to market to me in an annoying fashion compared to what the likes of fraudsters, scammers, online thieves can do to data through the black market, then it's hard for me to see Google as the enemy.

A bucket of piss.

Until I walk out of my apartment one day or another and someone just socks me in the face on a consistent basis, I don't really find the world incredibly hostile. That's just people buying what the media is selling.

We need to straighten up and realize what pronouns are worth keeping, redefine some that are better explained and stop introducing newer ones that come off incredibly pompous and pretentious. Any one is going to find fault in how they wish to be pronounced or identified by. And just because that someone is offended, doesn't mean we need to make an entirely new set of pronouns for them. That's their problem that they need to sort out and need to be much more transparent over than just walking on eggshells for.

I rarely upvote/downvote anything. I've upvoted posts or comments that have actually made me laugh or are very thought provoking.

Downvotes start coming when I think a post is very retarded and/or has wasted my time reading that it gets what it deserves. Oh and repeated posts that aren't structured very well that the poster could've taken some time to word better but you know they're rushing it for validity.

I've been in like, 3 or 4 of them so far. I can really see the value in a poly relationship but I find it, that it's incredibly challenging to maintain much less establish one. All of the ones I've been in, was where the individual wanting or orchestrating the poly relationship, was just a flat out cheater who wanted more than they can handle. My limit is no more than 2 other partners. The people I kept finding myself with, practically wanted like several partners too many and it just complicated things.

I'm open to being in a good one but I really don't know nor would I know anything or anyone that'd want a good stable poly relationship.

"But but, we want to continue misleading customers with our 'up to' plans and offer them the bare minimums. and make them spend more money because we charge equipment rental fees on top of their bills. please think of our wallets. The government hasn't given us enough despite them happily giving us billions to expand broadband that we promise to get around to, but we spend millions on marketing on this promise we somehow won't fulfill. Think of us, please" - ISPs

Nobody is a winner when it comes to holy wars, which is what this is all about. Everyone's a loser. I mean, what the hell can you do when one part of a country wants to annihilate another populace based on belief?
