Next update: Well, we never actually removed the feature because it's already irrevocably engrained in the file system. It can't be turned off or opted out of because it'll cause your hard drive to explode. Instead, we've buried it so deep that only hackers, malware, the government, and Facebook will be able to make use of it.

Citing it as "an injustice to domestic publishers", Vietnamese studios reportedly say that local game development "will die" if Steam is able to keep releasing games without the same government scrutiny as domestic games...

Yeah! It's so unfair that one person can put their heart and soul into making a game on their own, self publish, and be successful! No way anyone else could possibly do that!

Well... We all knew that was coming. If you still have an account haven't done so, now's a good time to purge your account!

Clearly you go buy a General Grievous mask, fool!

Aw, come on...

Only in ornithology can you say,

"Look at that pair of great tits!"

"That's a huge pecker!"

"That's a nice looking cock!"

And "Look at all the boobies!"

And literally nobody can get mad...

Oddly, I feel like you need to specify this in the PNW...

Beer bar, whiskey bar, coffee bar, chocolate bar. There's a lot of ten guys out there who'd get confused.

Hmm...

You know...

In any other situation, if a defendent were being disorderly and uncontrollable in the court room, you'd think the judge might order them confined somewhere. Some sort of lockable room, you know until they're less, shall we say, contemptuous?

The number of clients I get who are clearly struggling with the burden of "what a man is and isn't" would astound you... Hint: It's a lot!

No, boys aren't OK...

Just be you, friends!

I'd love that, if I was ever on the hook for almost 100 high-end felony charges, I could just be like "Wait, time out! I have things I want to do first!" and expect the judge to be like "You know what? You go have fun! Play some golf! Run for president! You just take all the time you need, sweetie!"

You can bet your ass that any of us common schlubs would be rotting in a maximum security facility where you can't take a piss without being watched by a security camera and 5 guards and have a slightly less than assured chance of getting Epsteined before your court date.

"Rules for thee! Not for me!"

Remembering the good old days of eSheep.exe and my dad freaking out that "It's a virus!" because he saw "a black sheep come running up to the other one and hit it! It started bleeding!"

Dad, that's a ram... The other sheep's not bleeding. It's blushing!

I'm convinced now that people saying something is "Bad for the fediverse" is just their ignorance and xenophobia showing.

Look at the shitposting or lemmy memes going around and you'll see a lot of people are actually afraid of users coming from reddit and spoiling the experience here.

I'm sure others don't want us growing because, consciously or unconsciously, they won't have as much traction or get as much attention. More people means you have less of a voice.

We can't argue about federation on the net, avoiding corporate control, or whatever while sticking our hand out and stopping people from joining. It just doesn't work that way.

People complaining about the size of a social media platform are missing the point of a social media platform...

As a counselor, there's very clearly some serious internalizing going on.

OP, you might want to start asking yourself questions like, "Why does it REALLY bother me so much?" No offense, seriously not attacking, but your post raises some concerning flags. Counselling may be a good recommendation, because it seems there's more going on here than is being told.
