In a socialist society I could maybe almost make a case for this not being a completely stupid and terrible idea

In the world we live in however, Cox Cable limits my fucking downloads each month and there’s no way in hell I’m hitting my data cap to stream CoD textures that could’ve just been on my system the first time

When the fuck did that switch happen btw? When I was a youth I remember having strict data caps on mobile data but wired internet to your house didn’t have limits because that’s not how the infrastructure works and limits make no sense. Now it’s the opposite, I get close to my data cap for my home every month but only the absolute bare minimum cheapest phone plans have caps.

In a socialist society everyone would be playing open source TF2 and Minecraft on community run servers until the sun explodes.

What a world!

Which society is nothing but open source Quake 3 CPMA clones? Let's do that one.

Edit: Would that be some sort of Hoxhaism but instead of bunkers everyone has their own personal Quake 3 fork?
