My child will never see more than 8-bit color

Teenage Dirtbag. Incel music.

Been using Debian for like 3 years now. No intent of distro hopping.

First off, I appreciate the response.

Yes, I understand that if these people could have it their way, any kind of mature content would be completely illegal. The reason I don’t feel strongly about this is strictly because this isn’t a legal threat, and I don’t think it has that capacity to become one. Lobbying is expensive, and I don’t believe that an Australian organization has the capacity to seriously affect global/western culture more than this. Quite frankly, its impressive they were able to pull this much off, and I fully expect ts to blow over in 3 years tops.

Don’t get me wrong- its not that I don’t care about censorship, its that I don’t really view this as censorship because the consumption and purchasing of the “censored” product is still completely possible. Contrarily, if this were signed into law I would have a big fucking problem with it.

With regards to the “companies they choose to use” point I made, I was in fact referring to payment processors, hence why I proposed crypto, cash and giftcards; as in purchasing a steam giftcard with cash from a store. Obviously I don’t expect people to not have credit cards, but the anonymity and security cash provides is almost never used because people find it less convenient.

The reason I brought this up is because I have seen it proposed that this issue will expand beyond the scope of digital marketplaces, which I find downright laughable. People WILL stop using visa cards if you can’t use it to buy condoms and there’s an ATM in the gas station.

I firmly believe that if this issue is pressed further, at the very least Valve will js stop accepting payment directly through payment processors.

Yo I’m NGL I’m usually really passionate when I feel my rights are infringed but I do not feel like my rights are being infringed. This isn’t the same thing as requiring ID to view NSFW content; this issue is not a legal one.

It’s not even like porn is js inacessible now, most of it is found on Patreon, which is both unaffected and literally accepts cryptocurrency. I will admit im suprised to see itch.io take action cos it has a reputation as a porn service, but who tf consumes porn on steam? I do not believe “what they define as NSFW will expand!” Or “next, games featuring a gay character will be banned!”, either. You are fucking bugging if you think Valve would let that happen. All they would need to do is lean heavier into steam giftcards, potentially selling them digitally, and start accepting crypto 'till the processors wanna play ball.

I don’t understand why people are bitching that the companies that they choose to use have so much power over their purchasing decisions. “First this, next sex toys! Then contraceptives!” Like Jesus fuck bro have you not heard of cash?

The game is lietarlly half cooked, and they clearly wanted to sell the other half piecemeal as DLC.

The game literally only has 3 eras. Every other civ game has 6.

But don’t worry, they’re adding Mount Everest.

What a fucking joke

Build a whole theme park

I got two. First is just Hanlon’s razor; “Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence”

The second one is a bit of a strange pick; its “But there’s no sense crying over every mistake; You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.”

I’d define a server as a computer that is primarily interacted with through other networked devices.

Hardware/software doesn’t have much to do with it; you can have a server do basically everything you’d need running on windows 11 if you’re a masochist.

The news just doesn’t report shit like that.

dude… I’m generally pretty dry, but what the fuck bro

Biden bypassed congress for the sale of primers to Israel. Trump sends Israel 2000lbs of explosives and you call this progress.

This will be my last comment in this thread, so let me end it with this. You keep dodging what you said; you said “so far [under trump] there has been no escalation, but the opposite; a ceasefire”. This statement is verifiably false, and you keep bringing up the Biden administrations congress-bypassed sale of primers to the Israeli government in an attempt to divert from the Trump administration sending Israel 2000lbs of explosives; an action which was SPECIFICALLY, INTENTIONALLY witheld by the biden administration. Please, PLEASE explain to me how the US sending Israel 2000 fucking pounds of explosives is a deescalation. Please explain to me what use Israel has for 2000lbs of explosives if a ceasefire is to be established.

I’m not sure if your an idiot or an apologist, but its clear to me that this this thread is no longer worth my time. Go fuck yourself.

Sincerely; Vytle.

Yeah, that’s cool, just gloss over how you said trump is deescalating the situation when all he’s done is sent Israel the 2000lbs of explosives that the biden administration refused them.

One of Trump’s first moves in office was to send Israel 2000lbs of explosives, which was put on pause by the Biden administration. Forced relocation under threat of 2000lbs of explosives is still genocide. The Palestinian culture will not exist following this.

Man, imagine considering someone saying “I knew harris would not drastically descalate the genocide of palestine, but voted for her regardless because I knew trump would just serve to escalate the situation.” to be virtue signalling.

You are seriously arguing that her inability to matter in the scene of global politics invalidates her from having an opinion, because its just “virtue signalling”.

Very much enjoy the nerd culture references

Uh, yeah it does. It is less bad than the only other option.

Damn that’s crazy. What do you want bro to do about it? You want 'em to overthrow the american government?

If you had to pick between John Doe with a knife, Jim Doe with 2000lbs of explosives, or to have no say in the matter, which would you pick?

I really don’t understand why I need to explain this to you, but if there are only two options, the less bad one is the better option.

Yeah because I guess its better to allow a marginalized people to be tortured, raped and killed. I guess its their fault for being born in that part of the world and being of a certain background.

Its never free free to do the right thing. Do not blame the Lebanese government choosing to support Palestine for creating the American-funded missiles that struck your friend down.

I do not understand how you can seriously argue that it is the fault of the Palestinian people that your friend was murdered by an American missile fired on behalf of the Israeli government.

Trump is chose to continue giving aide to Ukraine. This is just bullshit so he can appear to be trying to lower taxes
