I heard a good argument that while these justices are appointed for life to be judges, it doesn’t specify which branch. Reappointment them to a lower court and appoint new justices. They voted for this let them reap the consequences. Outline enforceable ethics standards.

Yeah I wasn’t trying to insinuate you thought that. No amount of money can fix this completely.

Yeah I quoted a Wikipedia article looking for opinions and got hella downvoted.

Getting them money was a good thing though. The lies spread by Jones caused these people to have to relocate, hire protection, etc which costed them out of pocket. The assets for InfoWars should definitely have been sold off to pay. Even though I disagree with pretty much everything that man says I still support his right to speak so banning him from the internet doesn’t seem right. Yes ban him anywhere he violated community guidelines which is pretty much everywhere his channel is currently

In my town it is a city utility like electricity and water. Gigabit fiber up/down for $70 with net neutrality

The biggest thing is view distance vs size. Your eyes can only see up to a certain density.

Nice yeah coffee isn’t always the play for me either for that reason. I like Yerba mate and white/green tea too

Agreed, check out my reply to the guy one below. I just don’t want to force people and would rather debate ya know?

I like short coffee naps. It makes it really easy to get up afterwards. I’d only recommend it if you are able to fall asleep almost instantly though.

Basically you chug a cup of coffee and then nap, setting an alarm for 20-30m. Once you get woken up the coffee will be mostly in your system and you’ll feel really refreshed.

They wonder why piracy is on the rise. Have they tried no corporate greed yet?

Interesting. When did you try it? My friend got his mid Saturday. I’d be willing to bet the second Sony decided they were going to drop the PSN requirement that they told Steam to stop giving refunds. That would have been way before the official announcement. I’d also wager the full refund deal isn’t currently active

There should be a website where we can do group boycotts / reviews when companies do bad things. This one really worked

Again I’m not calling for it. Just consideration which led to the discussion we are having.

If everyone gives a negative review for the other games that require PSN, then takes it back when they change then they will see their games stay negative until they take PSN out. Then they stop putting it in all together.

I think your union example doesn’t quite fit the situation. A union gives you lawful rights. The threat for the company to start treating you right is that unions exist and once you join you don’t quit one. We have no rights on steam so our only influence is negative reviews. If we never ‘reward’ the company for not being dirt bags then even if they make a bad decision, there is no incentive to change it back.

That’s totally fine and your choice completely. All I was asking was to consider doing it.

Would it not give more incentive to listen if it gives them the opportunity to go back to a previous rating? If they know they are going to be stuck there they might just go through with the decision people are protesting.

Yeah the lived experience was what I was talking about with the shadiness of how it was done.

I hadn’t heard about games working when they require an external login. Could that be only relevant for certain features and not the main game though I wonder

I really want to know why it was delayed in the first place. I’ve heard some rumors. One being the devs knew 6 months ahead but just messed up the deadline. Others said the servers were overloaded on launch. Does anyone know the answer? Maybe some sources?

Yeah stuff like that needs to be in the check box terms and conditions format and individually agreed to. Then you can’t purchase if you don’t check a ‘I understand I need a PSN account’ box. The format it’s in just feels like I’m agreeing only to the steam terms and the other ones are designed to be ‘snuck in’

That being said I guess everyone needs to read every detail before purchasing, which I and many others don’t do. I think even if they put a notice somewhere at first launch describing that their servers are overloaded and it will require PSN linkage eventually this wouldn’t have blown up at all. I’m way more salty at the shadiness of how it was handled over the fact that I missed the notice on purchase. That’s why they have the 2 hour return window. If I boot it and it says log into this site and I’m not ok with it, I can just give it back. Which is great that they are giving refunds regardless of hours played to remedy that.

And yes, I do take responsibility for not checking.

I know FFXIV saves your data. You’re welcome back anytime with your account

I feel like the easiest way to make that happen is by getting it into state level voting systems first. IIRC MN has started.

Either that or get a president in who doesn’t talk about it and then pushes for it after getting in. And the only way that would succeed is when all the dinosaurs retire or pass

Yeah the way people can recreate someone “in need of assistance” to trick family or associates is really scary especially for people who aren’t exactly tech savvy. That seems to me to be a worse crime than an explicit video that is pretty obviously doctored
