  • It provides an extremely theoretical motive for people to do the abuse, that is unlikely to materialize in reality.

    Yeah, this whole argument seems like a theoretical spurious hypothetical.

    The dude in the video is acting like this is completely legal too, when all of the abuse is already illegal and the authorities just cannot prevent it because of the scale and size of the Internet combined with their own ineptitude.

    If I’m in the business generally of blowing up and attacking company servers, why would I suddenly want to pivot to hosting monetized game servers? That’s an entirely different business. The whole thing strikes me as “OH NOES SOMEBODY MIGHT MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES!!!”.

    Centralized, proprietary servers for games other than subscription MMO games are complete and utter bullshit. Either make the game a subscription and keep all of it server-side, or allow people to host the servers and stop acting like assholes.



  • Stopping Trump would have stopped Trump, and that should have been enough reason.

    I’m not sure to be honest. I agree that we all should’ve voted for Harris, but Biden didn’t “stop Trump” and I kind of doubt that Harris would have either. A missed opportunity Biden had was instead of running with her in 2020, he should’ve made her AG in 2021. She was a lot less compromised on her positions to the democratic status quo before she became a member of his administration, and likely would’ve been a more effective attack dog in going after Trump after his insurrection attempt.





  • More like a little bit about it in one of the episodes. The League was based on a fantasy football league if you never watched it, and the episode featured one of the people discovering something due to “illegal swiping” and one of the NFL referee people guest starred and called him out on it.

    It’s a pretty funny show even if you aren’t into football.

    The US doesn’t feature Harriet Tubman on the $20 because it’s full up with racist, slavery-denying fools who still have the mindset of an Andrew Jackson voter and would vote a wheel of racist cheese into the office of president over an eminently qualified black woman any day of any week.
