Give me a reasonably priced, accessible way to enjoy the content and I will happily pay for it.

Streaming has become untenable and now it's neither affordable nor convenient to watch what I want to watch. And with how frequently shows and movies bounce around platforms, who knows if the show I want to watch this weekend will be still available on one if the many platforms I've been paying for.

I'm just done with it.

Just because an individual case doesn't fit the trend does not automatically make the news propaganda.

Pulling a door labeled push is the result of bad door design.

But it mostly sounds like you can't think of your own ammo and wanna be a dick to your coworker.

Sounds like the problem was between the keyboard and chair.

I mean CSGO turned into CS2 in my steam library.

So CSGO effectively doesn't exist anymore. I say 'killed' is accurate

If this is how you act around other people ... I don't think the problem is other people.

What an incredibly naive stance to take.

Not only is it flat wrong, you just choose to ignore the significant usage of boys / girls to refer to adults in pop culture. ie: boys will be boys.

The term girls does not necessarily refer to underage, or women who appear underage. Same with boys. And making an argument to the contrary really just makes you look silly and discredits any legitimate point you might have.

They are not incredibly dangerous, not be a long shot.

They can be dangerous to a very small subset of people with preexisting conditions and that's about it.

I think you might be using too broad a definition of propaganda. The result of influencing opinion does not make something propaganda. Propaganda needs some intent to persuade or push an agenda.

The article might be propaganda, largely that depends on the motivations for writing and publishing it. But the fact that the content of the article might change people's opinions does not make it propaganda.

I feel like this is all a given. How they're legally able to proceed with human testing is just baffling to me.

So you just don't know what propaganda is, got it.

I've been vaping for 10 years and you're kidding me with this right? Of course it's not good for you.

Trump ordered to not commit crimes. Got it

Too much use of patroeon would be awful. I dont want cable 3.0 where I'm forced to pay for every Chanel

I'm with you. Barely notice the changes in graphics, just the increasing of my gpu fan speeds over the years.

I'm more interested in games that graphics that look good enough, but do more interesting things with the extra horsepower we have these days.

Is this just the Texas variant, or every one?

If you are using Linux don't use the GUI app. It will lock up and leak past a killswitch.

The CLI app works ok. It annoyingly has issues reconnecting on reboot without disabling and renabling the killswitch. Sometimes it works, other times not.

A big reminder to how far Bioware has fallen

ITT: people who can't understand the difference between doing something good and being good.

Of course there are plenty of billionaires who have done good things, and pointing out all the ways they are still a shit person doesn't change that. Shitty people occasionally do good things, even if for shitty reasons.

Here's but one example, the term "boy toy" invalidates your whole paragraph.

Does this person think these are unique insights? It's not some big secret that manufacturers and software developers have continually tried to make their products easier to use so as to attract customers.

Learned helplessness lmao, what a load of shit.

So many kiddos arguing ridiculous politics here.

I'm not seeing how anything in the game could be considered predatory in the slightest...super confused on this.

Then frame your arguments better.

This is all in reference to the terms girl and boy. You lost that bit so now you're pivoting to counter arguments nobody has made. Have fun with that.

There are too many good, reasonably priced games for overpriced, mediocre bs.

It's gonna be significant.

Every extra bit of weight is one less bit of freight.

Also gonna be a lot more annoying when a shipper punches a hole in the side with a forklift.

So to you propaganda is a synonym for news, and that is simply incorrect.

If you aren't in a dev job it would be incredibly easy to prevent the source code from falling into company hands.

The mines they are preventing are small, they will destroy your foot if you step on it, but not much else. These boots protect your foot.

Oh boy

I'd the outer boxes weren't damaged then it's a packing issue.

And I won't. I responded to the bits that were relevant to my argument and ignored the rest. If I wanted to debate the finer points of the porn industry I would have led with that.

So artists can't make certain art because some company's AI might get confused. Right then.

Clean the litter box daily and move away from clay cat litter. I dont know what it is, but arm and hammer litter has been night and day for me. No dust, far far less odor. Litter lasts longer

Tidy cats clay would break apart every time while scooping, quickly ruining the entire batch of litter with urine smell.

Nah.

What the average user is looking for is almost certainly gonna be near the top of a Google search.

You've kind of arrived at the point while ignoring it.

Propaganda requires intent. You are correct that we can't know their intent directly, therefore we can only use evidence to try to determine the authors intent.

Admittedly I did not pick the article a part, but I saw no tell-tale signs of propaganda. It was primarily interviews with doctors. I saw no signs of manipulative wording, attempts at persuasion, or unsupported opinions of the writer.

While I can't definitively say this article is not propaganda, it probably isn't.

So it's not propaganda until you can provide good evidence that it is.
