Gabe Newell has a net worth of $9.5 billion and there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. Steam is great and as long as the company behaves well there's no reason not to use it, but billionaires are not your friends.

I'm not going to use something that's shitty now in hopes it will be better later in order to avoid using something that's better now out of fear it might become shitty later.

If Steam becomes shitty I have no issue dropping it and pirating my already paid for collection.

"If someone dropped their wallet would you tell them?"

Perfectly normal and already understood.

Elon Musk could lose 99.99% of his money and still have more money than 99% of Americans.

He's done it, he's won capitalism. He can stop and never worry about money, his children would never need to worry about money, and his grandchildren would never need to worry about money. And yet he keeps obsessively hoarding more money that at this point he has literally no use for.

It's a disease.

Outrage without action is irrelevant.

Anyone else wondering how an 18 year old is able to pull this off 375 times? I think the police just appreciate the excuse to play with their toys.

We wouldn't have so many COVID cases if we stopped testing.

First he'd need to convince the army to follow his orders. It's a lot harder to paint Canadians as "evil minorities" in order to get the rank and file to "just follow orders".

I want the judge to put in writing actual consequences that will be followed through on when Trump refuses to comply.

But what if they bend my cards?

How many years has resistance and consequences been "coming" for Trump and his lackeys? Talk to me when consequences actually fucking happen.

This headline is just to placate the masses: "Don't worry, resistance is coming. Any day now. You don't have to do anything, just keep your head down and keep producing like a good little consumer."

You need more disruptive protests.

Americans have been trained to clutch their pearls but that disrupting commerce with protests is wrong and that's exactly what we're seeing: complaints but no disruptive action so they are easily ignored.
