Yeap! On principal, I won't buy any game that dumps pre-orders of games on Steam in lieu of exclusivity, from other non-Epic platforms, even if I liked the game series before. For instance, I have really liked the Metro series of games. However, as soon as the third game was announced as exclusive to Epic, I refused to purchase it on Steam even after the exclusivity deal expired. It didn't help that the creator of the Metro games caught wind of people refusing to buy the game and threatened to not make anymore if sales bombed on Epic.

I'm just so tired of all the entities in this world that would rather make a quick buck, then milking as much from the player-base as possible, while standing in the way of me eeking out some sort of happiness in this shit-ass capitalistic hellscape. Would I rather be doing more creative shit with my free time or enjoying life in some capacity? Sure, but until we tear down this shitty pyramid scheme our society has bought into, games are the one thing that I still enjoy. I watch them actively deleting content for games I love, or making the content only available on specific platforms, and it makes me want to flay these wealthy fucks and leave them for the crows...

Beeblebum is the video source I tried to use. I just couldn't follow the angels and axis stuff. I'll figure it out eventually. Something just isn't clicking. It's likely a "me" problem.

I'll check out the second video recommendation. Thanks!

It's definitely a "red line", but I work in a field that requires me to think about things long-term. To me, the genocide shit is bad and I am 100% behind Bibi and his administration being tried and hung for their atrocities. However, I also know it can get a whole lot worse for Palestinians, and the world was a whole, if anyone but a Democrat wins in November.

Sure, we keep sliding to the right. But at least with Harris in office, we stand a chance of reversing a further slide. Without, we are sure to continue the slide at an even faster rate.

Look past the shortsightedness of those that seek to distract you and try to see the bigger picture. We can't do anything about the shit going on now if we don't have a future.

If you click on uBOs icon up in the upper right of the browser, you can of course disable uBO on that page, but there are other options contained therein. On the same popup for disabling on a page is a little gear for settings. If you click that and go to something like built in filters or something (not at my computer), you'll see a list of filters, maintained by other individuals, categorized by taste and targeted annoyance. You can check additional lists to use them based on what they do.

As long as you leave auto update lists on, you only really need to occasionally reload a page. However, if you turn off auto update you may start to see YouTube ads or warnings about ad blockers until you update the lists manually. To update the lists manually, click the little clock icon next to the list. If it's green, it recently updated, if it's grey, then it could use ah update or a check for updates.

Samesies. Didn't give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.

Unless it's Mass Effect or Saints Row, though, right? Then err body gettin' fucked!

I did not put a label on "babies", you did. It doesn't matter what side does what to children, it's wrong. Also, with the amount of misinformation coming out of this conflict, you expect me to believe your "both-side-isms" here with "it's happening to a father in Israel"?

Get all the way fucked, lol.

All of those issues go away if we switch to ranked choice voting. Literally all of them. One change and we're free of this horrible corprotocracy/oligarchy.

Which is why it will never happen, sadly. The wealthy will lose all their influence and power in a single change. They'll "scorched earth" this shit before they let that happen.

You're father along in the tech than I am, so kudos! I tried docker and just couldn't get things to work how I wanted or expected. I'm sure I'll try again in the future but had a kid in 2019 so haven't really revisited it! You give me hope!!

A lot of great research is going into CBD and I'm all about it. It shows all the positives without a lot of the negatives. The PTSD and depression research is especially helpful knowing how many of my fellow vets are suffering from such ailments!

I hate myself, this world, and most people so much that I want to do psychedelics just to kill that side of me and, hopefully, start feeling like I have some sort of power again. I am about to look into buying the spores and growing my own, but I don't want a shit ton of extra shrooms. I just want to do one heavy dose, let my inner id die, and live my life again.
