It's sad how many docile idiots remained on Reddit and Twitter after last year.

No. Valve tried to force arbitration, which is strongly anti-consumer. When an action was brought against them an actual arbitrator ruled that it was more fair to let a lawsuit happen. With this precedent set, there's no longer any point for Valve's terms of service to mention arbitration. This is not a consumer friendly move, this was Valve/"Gaben" trying to fuck consumers and losing.

Right, meaning that it's pointless and costly for them to have a terms of service that directs people to arbitration, hence this change to their terms of service.

No, not really. Valve was sued and (ironically) the arbitrator decided against the validity of the forced arbitration and let the lawsuit happen. If they could still get away with forced arbitration, they wouldn't have made this change.

Hooray for criminals, who stimulate progress towards protection from criminals. Kings.

People complained when they tried to take the series in a direction of giving more context, depth, and worldbuilding to the aliens and engineers. So now they've gone back to just giving us yet another familiar movie from the same template of people running away from aliens, with same old tropes and callbacks.

She was the Attorney General of California when the backpage founder was arrested.

The California Department of Justice employs 5,000 people. Do you think they have only done this one thing? Do you think they have press conferences for every individual person they prosecute? Do you understand why a whole mainstream platform facilitating criminal behavior is worth more attention than an average criminal?

Probably right, but at least my watch history is all attached to a throwaway email address I use for it.

 
 

They are losing their fucking minds.
