the website DRM thing is one of the most blackpilled and evil uses of technology i've ever seen

the people in charge of developing that should be put in a padded room and never allowed to see sunlight again. fucking god.

Woah, woah, woah, slow down: Why do they get to have padding in their room?

I would assume so they cant easily hurt themself and have to live and suffer through it for as long as possible

But then they'll be comfortable in there, because it's soft and padded as opposed to cold and hard.

I mean this in the least condescending way:

as far as I’m aware, even after looking it up, I think you are misusing the term blackpill.

Blackpill usually refers to a manosphere/Incel or Qanon type who has given up completely and lost all hope. In the the case of an Incel it’s that there’s no hope in ever escaping Inceldom. In the case of q anon it’s that none of the predictions about the “storm” will ever arise or come true.

I looked around and couldn’t find any other contexts that it’s used.

I am willing to accept that I could be wrong. But I looked all over search results etc.
