  • If it’s that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.

    If I don’t want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?

    The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales… When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.






  • Don’t forget taking forever for an initial patch release, despite there being multiple game breaking bugs.

    The state the game was at release was absolutely awful.

    The only folks who kept playing that I know were folks grinding for the final levels/achievements/weapons. Which consisted of playing in unenjoyable ways like using bad load outs, doing stupid crap like tagging a billion guards, etc. Who wants to pay money for an unenjoyable grind?

    They released a decent patch, some new content and DLC but everyone has already moved on. They totally screwed themselves, sucks it’s an IP that I like, but more games need to fail like this so publishers stop doing the same bullshit



  • Yeah, not what we want to be supporting. The Posse Comitatus act is there for a reason. I’d rather we don’t start supporting use of the federal military as law enforcement.

    And I hate to say it, but pretty sure the reason they haven’t been activated federally is because they’re worried calling that bluff might not work out well and escalate the confrontation, potentially leading to something worse.

    Frankly this is awful. But also something manufactured to sound a lot worse. From a states rights perspective this isn’t that different from states legalizing marijuana while it’s federally controlled and illegal.



  • My problem with this study has always been that it takes place in Yellowstone. A huge area that is super controlled and significantly different from the rest of the country.

    I think blindly believing we’ll see the same results everywhere we throw wolves is wishful thinking.

    Guess we’ll see how it plays out. As a hunter I’m not thrilled to have more competition for elk and deer, but it’s always been (and should be) predators get first dibs on wildlife. What I want is to see the reintroduction and revitalization of the buffalo. You know how cool it’d be to see giant herds of bison roaming all over the wild?
