Ban small bottles of water that claim magical fixes?

Nothing?

He has options?

Honestly the way he has treated people like shit, he could reasonably use the excuse that there could be civil unrest.

He has stated that he wants Musk to come in and literally fire everyone.

He’s already got the Supreme Court to allow him to assassinate opposition.

Even if he doesn’t, its a very dark path being trod.

Nah, he’ll do it because Putin wants it and he’ll get a “massive trade deal” out of it.

Seriously? The guy is getting presidential advice from “out the window” Putin.

Who will stand against it when opposition members are being locked up.

Because Spotify is absolutely shit at suggesting new things.

Even if I pick a particular theme there are many artists it won’t include until I manually select them and then magically they appear in the themed list.

The human touch just means being able to suggest similar things based upon experience that is outside your bubble. Spotify makes a personalised experience based upon your bubble, so it can never truely pop.

Have an grumpy upvote, because I’m not happy with that response.

Normal to start a family at 17? People have no sense of perspective. I didn’t have a kid until I was 30, and here in the UK I know plenty of guys who didn’t become fathers until their late 30’s.

I can’t imagine how hard it would be going through my 20’s with kids. It sounds awful.

Grandparent by 45?

What the fuck place is that, Siberia or Alabama?

You can support Palestine as a people right to live, and condemn Israeli blanket bombing without supporting Hamas’ shooting civilians.

Or did you also struggle with condemning British occupation of Ireland, whilst also disagreeing with the IRA bombing of civilian targets?

Your confusing a state with a people.

Hama’s want to stop Israel (the state) from existing as they occupy their territory, and make them live in internment camps.

Israel wants to stop the Palestinian people from existing, because they are an inconvenience.

Oh, sorry! You commented and linked as if it were something regional, and I wondered whether it was due to an alternative style of gravy that you had.

If it’s just thickened chicken stock and onions, then thats awesome too.

I almost didn’t make it through the intro for RDR2, 20 mins of trudging through snow.

IDGAF.

What would you consider “chicken gravy” in this scenario?

This is wild if true.

I loved RDR, and played the fuck out of that. RDR2 spend so much time trying to distract me from actually playing that I got bored.

I was down voted a lot for preferring the original. Thats neat that others found the first better.

That’s half my sentence, dont add a full stop where there wasn’t one in quotes. It makes you a liar.

No one is competing on PC because

And then I list reasons why i don’t see the alternatives as credible competition.

I could basically buy anything that I get on Steam, on either Epic or GOG. Their market share is not why I buy games on Steam, I gave you those reasons already.

I do not run Windows because its a shitty hostile environment that contractually prevents distributors from providing an optimised interface for gaming. It inserts adverts into every section, and even Windows users unironically complain that Windows Update is malware.

Thats not what was said at all.

No competition is not good. But Epic is worse competition, and GOG is halfhearted competition that is an ultimately worse experience for most people.

On a related tangent, because I see that this is mostly discussed to death, I dont get why Americans decided to merge other unrelated words.

For example, being exhausted and the rubber circle that cars and bikes use to roll smoothly are the same word in American English whereas we (UK) use different spellings.

Tire - Being exhausted

Tyre - Round rubber wheel thing

You said

more efficient competitors

But now you are saying that they didn’t challenge the monopoly? If they dont even challenge then how are they competition?

Steam let’s me buy games and play them. The interface with Big Picture Mode let’s me interact with the store.

The issue I see is that no one is competing on PC with Steam because they keep trying to tie themselves with the fucking trainwreck that’s Windows.

They keep trying to tie themselves with shitty desktop launchers.

They keep trying to tie themselves with toxic customer service.

There is competition, but it’s with Sony, Microsoft and their consoles.

Disproven many times over.

You can’t sell the free generated Steam keys on other platforms lower than on Steam. You are perfectly free to sell the game on other platforms for less than Steam.
