I definitely understand that but it is quite an important nuance of the topic to discuss especially considering the USA is threatening to ban Tik Tok for this reason and yet, allows all of its American companies to do the same.

I get whataboutism and all that but when it is directly being affected by the rest of the conversation I feel like its important that the information does get talked about.

I love how you equate these things which people do because it makes them feel good to a giant head of fire in the sky lmao. One of those isn't like the other.

And as far as the flat earthers go, exactly. That's the same sort of blind belief that is at play with religion except one can actually be disproven.

Just seems like this god dude could sort a lot of shit out and end the pain and suffering in the world but doesn't do it for some reason. And yes I know I know, some woman ate an apple and then some dude did too so that's why we're all tortured forever.

What an awesome god.

But there's a federal law that says marijuana is illegal and states are deciding on its own legality anyway.

sure I know the story of that book humans wrote and what it says and I'm telling you that's wrong.

If a fiery head appeared in the sky and rumbled the earth with his mighty voice and demands and every camera and human eye saw it on the earth at the same time (I mean it is God right? Should be doable) then nah, no one is gonna dispute that.

You're taking stories that have never actually happened and saying they are the truth. I could do the same with the hundreds of religious texts that predate the bible by centuries but that wouldn't make that true either.

Also, if god knows that a person will remain wicked forever why does he keep them here to live a full life? And in turn, if he thinks they might change wouldn't that be a test?

What would happen if they did it with Islam? The same mental illness but instead with more violence.

I mean south park had to take an episode down making fun of Islam because of death threats.

I don't seem to recall them having to do it for any of the countless episodes (rightfully) making fun of Christianity. So there's definitely something differnt going on there.

My thing is though if these Almighty gods (or the almighty god depending on who you ask) really didn't like to be made fun of couldn't they just, you know, take care of that?

I mean hey man one fiery head in the sky speaking demands for like, 20 seconds of time is all it would take. Boom. Suddenly everyone is on the same page.

But nah, god is a trickster and wants to make you pass tests for his amusement like a rat in a lab. Difference being the almighty god of course knows the results of the test anyway so really just makes you do it for his own enjoyment.

Religion is a disease. It deserves to be made fun of.

Lol what the fuck.

Its the only chip that runs on open source bios and you can completely disable the Intel ME after boot up.

AMD's PSP is 100% proprietary spyware that can't be disabled or manipulated into not running.

Man I just hate that you can't disable the PSP spyware bullshit. It's the only reason I don't use them

So, no evidence that they have compelled Apple to do so but that little bit about how the US government can force a companies hand and force them not to talk about it is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT true.

So, it isn't like the dude is just pulling stuff out of his ass. Apple did used to have a warrant canary as well, and they don't anymore. You should watch the interview with Lavabit's creator and how the feds wanted to take over his shit and fake his SSL and he took them to court about it and still can't talk about it due to the (undemocratic) gag order.

Dude I hate cops with a burning passion but yeah for sure you should just go into North St Louis or Southside Chicago and just be real nice to everyone. That's gonna work.

This is a valid point I hadnt considered with the timeframe (although vita was a pretty badass system but your point about having to be specially ported to that device stands) but still with the current state of gaming as it exists right now Nintendo should not be selling a copy of a game that came out 8 years ago that runs at exactly half the fps of other systems for exactly double what everyone else has it listed for. They are like the Apple of video gaming.

Right? When they said "give me something more substantial" you could tell they have never had a single interaction with LAPD.
