Couldn't buy a house, so now we have to rent. Now that we can't afford rent, might as well live out of a car. Now cars are too expensive, might as well live out of a cardboard box.

I actually didn't expect Disney to respect public domain. Everyone 100% has the right to absolutely shit on them for strangling copyright law all these years, though.

Republicans doing a real good job giving a peek into what voting Red will do for them this year

Now there will be two versions of Windows. One that adheres to EU regulation, and another that's filled with ads for everyone else.

Literally the one reason I still use Reddit is because appending site:reddit.com gives me actual results. Reddits' built-in search results are utter dog shit and you cant find anything. They'd just be shooting themselves in the foot for blocking Google

No, this won't kill Reddit. If they can essentially remove every third-party app, they'll easily be able to start selling user data. Whether we like it or not, the majority stayed on Reddit.

Nothing short of somehow breaking through ad blockers like Twitch did will make people stop using it, even if that.

Fandom is an ad-ridden shithole

It'd be nice to go beyond and have some sort of ranked voting while we're at it. Essentially being forced to pick between two parties or risk having your vote being wasted sucks.

"Canada and its growing reputation as a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organised crime. And I think that’s a country that needs to worry about its international reputation”

Never thought I'd read a statement like that from someone who was serious.

If a law says it's "for the kids" It 100% contains some of the most intrusive, dictatorial legislation known to man

It's odd, I don't think I've ever heard of a lefty or a gay person outright killing someone over a Dixie or Trump flag. I keep reading about far-righties killing people over the scary rainbow flag though

The fact that the best marketing for games these days is just: "Don't be a greedy bastard" really says something about the industry
