For privacy to have inherent value, it first must be an established, inherent right. Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn’t talk about it to my knowledge. I’ve always inferred that our rights against unlawful search and seizure basically encapsulate the concept, but whatever.

How is paying more to said megacorp going to reduce their influence?

Hell the last few months it has been very noticable.

Drive-through window clerk gets thanked a lot, too.

I’ve been using the patched Reddit Sync. Reddit is dead. I can’t put my finger on it, but the place has definitely changed.

I haven’t seen any ads? Am I missing something?

Good point… Do both!

Can’t argue with that, was just trying to point out why people were reacting negatively is all.

I apologize for douchenozzling up the thread. I actually appreciate the explanation as it was informative, but it is pedantic to focus on that instead of answering the original question.

Just saying, nobody loves a pedant.

A new house for my aging parents with no stairs.

Cognitive dissonance is an impossible nut to crack for anyone but the person experiencing it. Just say your piece with no expectations; at least you will know you are honest, and you never know - even a tiny crack can shatter the bubble. Probably won’t.

Jimmy, you got nuthin’ but rocks ‘tween yer ears if you think you can go cowboyin’ with no cows.

My excitement is palpable

Homelander, “super terrorist” is the company’s preferred nomenclature.

Good call on The Stanley Parable; it does have a similar fun, nonsensical style like the old Lucas games. Disco was very interesting and I enjoy the Tell Tale games, but those don’t really scratch the same itch. The others I’m ignorant about.

At any rate, those old gems still feel like the pinnacle of the genre to me.

I think those adventure games deserve the accolade considering they really were the pinnacle of the genre, and it hasn’t even really continued since then.

This is really all that needs to be said.

There is some startup lag with that site. The whole VIP/freeleach/wedge system is a bit convoluted, but grabbing some popular free torrents and keeping them seeded will get you going in no time. It is easily the best community I’ve seen on a torrent site and those restrictions are probably a big reason why.

Only those that lack humility and/or fail to acknowledge privilege.
