That took me a good 30 seconds to figure out.

What? It’s not like, everyone? Huh. TIL.

Pete is a cat?!

Yes I’m aware. I’m saying that IF it were an actual thing, it would not be surprising at all considering the extent of invasive, non-consentual data collection and selling that happens all over the place these days.

Genuinely though, it would not surprise anymore. We have subscription based cars selling your info to insurance companies, retroactively ammended purchase experiences everywhere, and every dang app and website harvesting as much info on you as physically possible no matter how mundane.

Dick info reporting toilets would not at all catch me by surprise at this point.

If that’s what it is them that’s awesome. I want to be able to see a company do something that sounds like a good thing without that back of the mind thought of ‘what are they up to…’

Steam being actually based would be great.

Found in the comments on Steam. On one hand, I love that Steam is going in the opposite direction of literally every other company. On the other hand, it does seem like it’s not being done to be good guys.

It still was a nice surprise to see “btw no forced arbitration”.

Edit: I am too lazy to look for real sources, so take this with a grain of salt and go look for the real sources I’m too lazy to look for.

I have it. This is sorcery.

That is a very happy cat.

Different people react to different things. It takes many approaches to reach multiple types of humans.

I personally reacted after months of being shown hypocrisy, with the tipping point being when I said there’s no problem with eggs and dairy before I was shown what the egg and dairy industries do.

Part of that process was really realizing, not just knowing but consciously thinking about and considering the fact that humans are also meat. I am meat. The cats I loved were meat. My human family is meat. It’s not okay to eat them in a sandwich. Why is it okay to eat strangers in a sandwich?

No one approach will work on every human, and many people take a lot of different approaches over time to really understand.

Vegan is a philosophy, not a diet. The word you’re looking for is plant-based, not vegan.

A vegan wouldn’t buy leather shoes or woolen sweaters. Someone on a plant-based diet would.

Dogs taste better anyways. Can’t beat a good Elwood’s steak!

I gave you some from a girl to help balance things out!

But I can promise you, from many years net positive on reddit and a not disimilar result here, that you’re not reading your own tone.

Be mindful of the tone, only come off as combative against a near universally disliked topic, and know when you don’t care to curate yourself and are ready for the downvotes.

Your wording here makes you out to be combative, and people are combative in response. Read your own comments as if they’re directed AT you. And look specifically at what’s likely to make you want to argue back. You may even be surprised at what can get net positive response with the right wording.

Welp I just lost The Game. Thanks.

Was on Voyager until it updated past my old OS. Current version of Voyager no longer supports my old 6S Plus.

So now I’m on Thunder. It works. I liked Voyager better, but I won’t complain about an app that still works on my phone.

Wait… the way you describe it now…

I was always told of photographic memory being some super power and thought “Hey, would be neat if I had THAT!”

Was that just the ability to daydream all the time? I imagined people with like literal cameras for brains that could take a picture of a book page and read it later like a text document.

This whole time, I might have had that mystical power all along and aphantasia people just overstated how accurate it was?

I much prefer co-op multiplayer to pvp and co-op in a game I’m interested in is rare.

So yeah mostly singleplayer.

I am sure he may indeed have screwed Judy.

What a perfect comment to be interpreted in whichever way someone wants to interpret it.

The Game is the perfect counter/addition to Loss memes because every time I see a meme of Loss I know I just Loss The Game.

Then I get to say it and make othe people lose the game because of Loss. This makes me smile.
