A lot of people are getting back into pirating because of this. If a show isn't on a streaming service you use, you either pay $2/episode and hope that Amazon doesn't drop it, or you pirate it. I went almost a decade without pirating, and now I just bought a 5tb SSD for my Plex server. I'm tempted to fully convert now that I've already set everything up, too.
Which is almost impossible now. You can't even play offline games without internet access because companies force you to use their app to launch it.
I thought I would be able to get around that system with EA by purchasing a hard copy of the game circa 2016, but nope, I just bought a plastic case to throw away. I miss the old days of owning things.
We're almost out of the 4th quarter. Want to go through some corporate tax records to back up your talk?
I've been enjoying Connect. It's much simpler than the other apps I've tried.
Check out other Assassin's Creed games! I agree that Red Dead Redemption is anther good suggestion. I suggest the first one as well. Maybe Fable? The second one was my favorite, but people rave about the first one as well. I didn't play the first one until I didn't have as much time to game.
This might be a miss, but the Sims can be insane with mods. You can cheat their needs and not worry about those. Sims 3 is open world and the best of the series, but I'm not as familiar with the mods available for it. There are Sims 4 mods that introduce murder (guns and knives provided of course), drugs and gangs, zombies, prostitution, murderous toddlers, and much more that I can't think of right now.
Modders are fucking lunatics when it comes to the Sims. Someone made a mod for Sims 3 where you could grill and eat a baby. EA stepped in to shut that down...
Donnie Darko leaves more questions than answers
Threads is doing a decent job moderating them. They put warnings if you subscribe to someone known to spread misinformation and they remove posts that break TOS.
Obviously the attention seekers are going to run to every platform. I don't think it's fair journalism to say that certain groups are moving to Threads when it's many groups.
"Men are creating thousands of accounts on Threads. Why are the majority of accounts female? Our data analysis explains here!" Is kind of the same clickbait.
I won't argue that racists don't make up a loud percentage of text-based social media, though.
Girls wear belts, too
It boosts the comment because of the algorithm. I don't know if people do it knowingly when commenting "this" or "underrated comment" but it does have an effect.
This community is text based. Communities like c/pics are image based. OP wants communities that are focused on discussion rather than sharing images.
Twitter isn't allowing posts to be viewed if you're not signed in, which is now resulting in Google removing Twitter links from search results. That alone is doing more harm than any other stupid moves by Musk. Him implementing caps on user activity doesn't need any further elaboration.
Reddit is going to have some dead links that might deter a small percentage of potential new users who find them through a Google search. I think we'll get a better picture of how reddit will move forward after they replace mods and reopen large subreddits.

They don't care about women who are considering abortion. I'd be more worried that they'd implement a less reliable test.
