What actions are you referring to? I appreciate Steams contributions to the Linux ecosystem but that’s about it, and even that is completely self serving. Locking everything on their platform behind DRM? Taking a 30% cut of everything sold after monopolizing the PC gaming market?

He’s a big proponent of microtransactions and was one of the first to introduce lootcrate mechanics for skins. Skins that you can buy/sell with real cash off-site. There’s a billion dollar online casino ecosystem where you use skins as chips to play games that’s basically targeted at kids. Valve is completely aware of it and it breaks their ToS but they profit greatly so they look the other way and continue to push shitty scratch off ticket loot boxes to kids. There really is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

Unless you know about some great philanthropic work he’s doing?

I understand and don’t necessarily disagree with any of that but let’s not pretend GabeN is anything other than another greedy billionaire.

And they purposely target kids with addictive loot crate mechanics and look the otherway while loot/skins are sold on 3rd party sites.

Maybe GabeN really needs a 7th yacht but maybe he’s just a greedy bastard who wants all the money.

NOBODY likes politicians.

Pol·i·tics /ˈpäləˌtiks/: from the Latin poly- meaning many; and -tics, meaning blood sucking parasites.

I know lots of small game hunters in the U.S. and it’s very much the same. Try to avoid taking game close to human developments as they’ll feed on trash and it can lead to issues like overpopulation and disease.

Taking game from wild areas means the animal has had to hunt and forage to survive leading to a healthier population and healthier harvest.

Probably but it’ll have to be gold or have incriminating evidence inside it or something.

Charisma and daddy’s money are the only reason he’s where he is.

“Non-Nazi” in that they can look the other way while the actual Nazis do the dirty work.

They’re still Nazis but it’s not their defining political position.

All the Dems have to do is stay out of the way.

Well, fuck.

He might be twiddling his thumbs but I bet the shadowy cabal controlling the right definitely has a plan and a schedule they’re working on.

Dump is in a holding pattern.

Right? A girl checking you out is nice but a “straight” bro noticing the work you’ve put in means so much more.

There’s only one, 50 Cent.

This is a good comment that adds to this discussion and I agree with everything you’ve said.

Yeah we let a bunch of confederate soldiers go home to their plantations and start weaving some lie about noble heritage and a difference of opinion. A whole bunch of traitors should’ve hanged but instead they went home and laid the groundwork for today.

That’s our history of being soft on traitors.

The appeal of peaceful compromise only exists with the fear of uncompromising, violent extremists.

I wish the left had half the balls the right claims they do

Hey, what’s up? It’s me, ur cat :3

This is how you justify inaction. Pretending shitposting is a revolutionary act, what a joke. And almost 40 basement dwellers agree.

We’re fucking cooked and some of you think you’re actually fighting.

I am currently a men, am I bad?

Are you a men? Are you bad because of it?

If not, by virtue of being a not-men are you good?

Even Batman had contingency plans for every member of the Justice League.
