“Decent men”, more shame language. Being the one to grow and birth a child is itself, a huge privilege.

Because you’re extremely defensive which either means you’re scared or you have an agenda. Given your second point, I now suspect you’re here with intent to dissuade male perspectives from being expressed here.

“Disagreeing isn’t silencing!” has some real “I’m just stating facts.” energy.

But the way you disagree, is. But you already know that, don’t you?

Why does it bother you so much? What are you so scared of that you have to silence male perspective?

More than one person can be a real victim of something, why do you want to silence male voices?

This reads like a woman’s fantasy of a man.

Calm down we both know you like the smell.

Sure it isn’t.

Are your people so poor you’ve turned video game accounts into savings?

Which is wiiiild.

To whom? Investors and small time landlords? Any link to this you could pass over?

Never let yourself become dependent on something a company has control of, if at all possible. They will use it as leverage to coerce concessions from you that drive you further toward controlling nothing at all.

We could all use a “Live without technology” day where everyone lives intentionally without using technology owned by others, learn first hand where those liabilities and leverage are in our lives, the cost of loss of access, and the alternatives. We are far more likely to accept enshitification of everything if a loss of access suddenly causes a crisis we’ve never encountered before. Awareness is a strength that would be wise to cultivate. If you can’t go one day without tech, you’re already told dependent and tbh, a threat to the community and people around you.

Soo…they are planning to drive us from society, forced to roam like animals across a digital jungle? This species deserves extinction and I, for one, will help hasten our demise. They don’t get to inherent a world they genocided us to get.

Metas way to get AI training data is these glasses, palantir is flock cameras, Google is their existing inventory of video from mapping the entire fucking world, Musk has Tesla vehicles, they all have a means to watch the world and feed it to AI. Many have user data from all our devices and our online behaviors that can extrapolate and deduce what reality is.

We’re legit fucked if these companies continue to operate in private, secrecy, and zero enforced return of value for he public well-being.

This so how all rich people are.

Because they don’t care about others and want access to the resources that would be spent to help them. They see drug addicts as losers who can’t compete and want to keep them out of the game. They treat them the way they were taught to treat others, by being treated that way themselves.

It wasn’t a fluke, it was a period of power re-distribution forged from the destabilizing affect of a world war. The vote for the average man was also a product of needing men to go to war. They never give us anything unless they absolutely have to. I wish we’d figure that out and get back to making them have to. I’m done with conversation and dialogue that they build labyrinths from. They will never voluntarily give up power, they are psychologically incapable of doing so. There is only one end to this, as it has always been between the cruelly selfish and the rest of the community.

Unless you actually give me a reason, I’m not wading through a massive field of history on a hunt for a point you didn’t bother to make.

But they aren’t and it’s ridiculous you spout propaganda talking points constructed by competitors of steam that can’t compete. Of all the monopolistic companies, steam is one that is least shit, and until the government gives a shit about monopolies in general, I’ll be grateful for the ones that aren’t total assholes, like nvidea and micron and Microsoft and Google and all the rest that are ignored by antitrust rules.
