Yes, otherwise companies would not spend their money on them.

They haven’t been successful yet.

Obviously that steam guy was probably coming from a place of bad faith

The Steam forums actively encourage this kind of bad faith behavior:

1. when a post gets a new reply it’s moved to the top of the forums. So as long as people are engaging with a post, even if it’s just to make fun of a bigot, it keeps getting pushed back to the top.

2. Users can “award” posts for various things (helpfull, cool, funny, etc) and users have taken to giving ‘Clown’ awards as a way of making fun of posts. Whenever one of your posts gets an award, you are given Steampoints you can use in the Steam cosmetics store.

This results in every game having bad faith posts “complaining” about wokeness so that people will make fun of them with Clown awards as a way to farm Steampoints. The developer bringing attention to it just helps them get more.

“If somebody is remote working, how do I know they are actually working and not just mowing their lawn or cleaning their house?”

By how much work they are getting done. If they are completing the amount of work expected of them what does it matter if they are doing things in-between?

The difficult steps in FTL are no joke. I was having no difficulty clearing on easy and was just trying to unlock all the ships. Once I did I switched to normal and had to restart 3 times before getting out of the first sector.

I’ve been taking part in the beta, as far as Steam is concerned me and my friends are a thrupple. Works pretty well, other family member’s games just show up in your library. Haven’t had any issues, Steam will tell you if your copy is in use by a family member and you either play something else or ask them to quit.

Oh no, not again

So, if the plaintiff is correct and Disney is liable then the TOS probably applies.

The TOS that says “if we kill your spouse you cannot sue us”?

It’s okay, they didn’t force arbitration. They decided to “waive their right to do so.”

I was never Disneys restaurant.

Then Disney should have argued that, not this “you had a trial for Disney+ so you can’t sue us for murder” nonsense.

Why waste time with words when no words do trick?

Where the fuck we gonna put all the waste product?

In the air, so everyone everywhere is interacting with it on a daily basis.

Oh wait, that’s what we do with waste from all the other power plants.

A waste product that can put on a specific spot is easier to deal with than a waste product that can’t.

Good for you.

This comment section is about the meme, so it looks like you don’t have anything relevant to add here.

Social Media is limiting your life span and quality of life. I recommend you stay off of it.

Dr Pepper was designed to taste like a soda fountain smells. So basically all the flavours mixed together.

Maude Flanders here gets overwhelmed with anything other than vanilla.

All pop is pure sugar. Do all pops taste the same?

I think Japanese cryptids can fit in either category.

that’s a high bar to ask for.

Right. Removing their downvote button isn’t going to cause people to pause and reflect on their positions, so what benefit would it provide to an actual discussion?

If I’m having an actual discussion with someone I disagree with, I’d rather receive a bunch of downvotes from the peanut gallery and keep the messages to people who want to actually discuss, then have the entire peanut gallery flooding the responses with poor quality responses to indicate their disagreement.

Yes, it would be better if people gave more nuanced replies, but let’s accept reality and the fact that not everybody is going to do that. Let’s also accept that you aren’t special and deserving of a long form point by point rebuttal from every single person who disagrees with you.
