Because most of us dislike violence, even when it’s necessary and justified.

Meanwhile, the rich have no problem using violence against us to protect their hoarded wealth or if they can profit from it in the slightest.

Funny how the people who want to harm the oil companies are “terrorists,” but the people literally destroying the earth are not

I do, and I get it. We used to have the infrastructure, but it was lost as our communities became more car-centric. Personally, I own a cheap used fuel efficient car that I only use when I have to drive long distances.

I also know a lot of people who own gas-guzzling pickups and SUVs who don’t need them, and people who choose to live in expensive suburban areas because they fancy themselves too good to live amongst us “poor people” in “bad neighborhoods” because we’re supposedly dangerous. Also, a lot of people who think they have to drive everywhere they go, even a few blocks from their home. Those people can fuck right off.

I’d rather be inconvenienced by losing my car than continuing to subsidize the type of people I see driving every day.

Exactly. People who fat shame don’t actually want people to improve – they just want a target for their hate. I see no reason to disparage the people in the picture, nor to think they won’t properly care for their dog.

I don’t think fat shaming should be allowed here.

You’re very perceptive. Have you ever considered working as an investigator?

The clear answer is yes. This is exactly like the people who say they won’t be allies anymore if we LGBT+ people aren’t polite enough.

No halfway decent person who isn’t a steaming pile of excrement would be deterred by such a protest. That user’s take stems from discourse specifically designed to shut down protests, and it’s imperative that we do not let it work.

So no, the “dude” doesn’t have a “point.” It’s all horseshit. Shut them down immediately when they start flapping their pie hole with that shit.

Ohno, people who are being systemically killed are making you late for work! Time to turn against them

Finally some good memes!

Your comment just made me think about all the devices I still use that use micro-USB: Bluetooth speakers (most of which I bought some long time ago and still work), rechargeable keyboard with trackpad (used for our streaming PC), headsets, gaming controllers, power packs (even one that has an additional Apple charger as an option LOL), AA batteries, bicycle headlights/taillights, so many flashlights and lanterns for camping, the mobile hotspot they gave me for work, action cams…

We’ll be using micro-USB for a long time to come, it seems.

Why am I so angry? Oh, I don’t know – maybe it had something to do with the fact that I shared a simple anecdote from my life, which was met with “I don’t believe this.” by some prick online. I’m so burnt out with pricks like that online. I don’t meet as many of you here as I did on reddit, but I’ve just started giving people the “fuck you” attitude they deserve when they respond to me by being unnecessarily hostile and argumentative.

And obviously my dad couldn’t wait for them to order one in, or whatever you’re imagining. Maybe you have a pampered and privileged life where you have the luxury of being able to be without a phone while you wait for one to be delivered, but most people in my circles cannot.

Now please don’t talk to me again.

Why don’t you accompany my 80+ year old father to the Verizon store next time you’re in South Dakota? Then you can argue with the minimum wage-paid clerk instead of embarrassing yourself by being wrong on a message board

He has Verizon

Not sure why you find it hard to believe. They have various phones on display that are either “free” (everyone knows you actually pay for it and then some, but it doesn’t have an additional cost) or cost extra per month with your contract. When my dad had to switch to a smartphone, one of the iPhones was the only one he could get at no additional charge. If you have more questions, you’ll have to talk to Verizon and ask them why they don’t stock their shops better in bumfuck, South Dakota. I’m telling the truth, but it’s not worth arguing with some rando over a shitty phone just because you doubt me for no reason.

“premium” phone

I don’t even know what this means. You’re not making sense.

Go argue with someone else about something that matters instead of directing your unhinged rudeness at me.

Funny how the only reason my dad has an iPhone is it’s the only one they didn’t charge him extra for in his phone plan

At least it’s just a few ads for games, and my recently played games are right there at the left, ready to be launched.

Steam is virtually unusable upon opening, looks like visiting a virus-ridden site without an adblocker, and it made me sign in again even though I’ve just used it recently. The only way to prevent having to sign in frequently is to leave it running in the background at all times, and that’s not going to happen.

Sometimes I get down on myself for not being a very good person, but your comments made me realize I’m pretty good actually, or at least I don’t have completely shite opinions like yours, so thanks for lifting my spirits

Why do all my comments attract the most insufferable neckbeards?

A. It’s clear why I found it deceptive since he was being a pedant about what constitutes search results (if a widget is summoned by a search term – which didn’t request it btw – then that widget is part of the results. It’s batshit looney to think otherwise)

B. But I literally posted screenshots for full disclosure and for the sake of honesty – and I’m still getting losers posting cringe in response. Fucking suburbanite straight white male energy stfu

C. Get blocked, fuckwit. If I wanted your opinion, I’d ask.

It would! I’ve actually considered that, but honestly I just don’t use Steam enough to justify it. I’d probably use it a lot more if it didn’t feel like such a chore to run.

EGS only takes a few seconds to launch, doesn’t shove an annoying popup ad in my face every time I open it, and completely exits the application when I click X

I’ve actually bought the EGS version of several games just so I don’t have to deal with Steam’s bullshit

I’ve also got some indie games that don’t use a launcher at all, and I use the Windows version of ESO so I don’t need a separate launcher for that, which is my most-played game of all

I’ve come to accept that it’s going to update every time I launch it, which makes it a pita since I work long shifts and have very little time to play games to begin with.
