There you go, see. Ban me= leave me alone

Oh now you’re getting it, leave me and my one sentence protest alone, yeah?

Sounds like a good reason to block me

No, we don’t just follow rules you lay out. Sorry. I asked very politely and explain myself repeatedly about how I want to be left alone to just simply say go away Linus and leave it at that. But no you had to keep coming at me over and over and over again. So here I am since this is what you wanted here I am.

What happened? You don’t want to talk anymore? I was asking to be left alone but you insisted on engaging with me in spite of me asking you not to. I thought you wanted to ask and ask and ask me why I don’t like Linus and just keep it going forever.

I’d say the same about being harassed on Linus tech tip posts

Now you’re getting it.

What’s your problem with things being difficult?

This, I agree. A moment of revelation is a shock. People will even become violent to defend their version of reality.

The fight scene in They Live is a good example. He wants him to put the glasses on to see reality, the other man simply refuses, things get violent.

And exactly, how could everything he know be wrong without the glasses? This drives his behavior.

Matters to me.

It would be different if the algorithm was doing anything other than trying to sell you things

Omg, I have friends like this who are like “I don’t want to make decisions, I just want the algorithm to decide for me”

I look at them like I just bumped into an alien in those moments. Have a brief “Maybe I shouldn’t be friends with you” but then reel myself in and think "they can’t be serious "

Hmm 😒 well if that’s so, it’s possible. But yeah, not in True Colors. I feel like I would have noticed. I will keep a watchful eye as I finish this next playthrough

As someone who has played through that game 3.5 times (I’m in the middle of another playthrough right now) I can say with high degree of confidence that I have never noticed any nazi memes 😳

I’ll look for them specifically??? But I’m already pretty aware of that sort of thing because I’m in a group that nazis hate. I think I would have noticed and quiet literally would have been like “what the hell is this shit?” OR I would have attributed that kind of writing too an actual perhaps racist character in the town, but I haven’t felt that way either. I just don’t know what they’re talking about, again as somebody who’s played the game three times.

Not to mention archival purposes for games that will be lost to time if not preserved.

Amen

Sure, but no switches lost power in this outage. And yes the power in my home could be on, but if the phone company itself has no electricity 🙃 then sure.

But generally speaking, that doesn’t happen, and it didn’t happen here. Land lines work without power in nearly all circumstances because the power comes through the land line itself.

But the statement you’re making is a silly one. I could say “your cell phone will never work when all the cell towers are powered down and you don’t have wifi and your phone company has no power either. 😑”

Still I’ve never had a land line not work when the power in large areas around me goes out.

“BUT WHAT IF YOU DON’T PAY YOUR BILL AND YOUR PHONE COMPANY IS PART OF A BUSINESS HOSTILE TAKEOVER AND THEY ABANDON YOU As A CUSTOMER”

uhhh… yeah I guess it won’t work then. Like what are you trying to prove here?

I’m talking pre cell and pre internet domination. My grandma’s house /neighborhood lost power this winter and there was always the reliable old long corded landline that we ordered pizza with as a matter of fact.
