i don’t know that i trust chinese markets with how much control the party has over corps

i’ve thought about doing eu’s s&p 500 but comparing simulated returns this year is like a 12% difference

which does me no good if we’re left holding the bag but damn is this annoying

where do you put your money that is safe though

even eu will take a hit

almost like it’s not safe

people around here on bikes scare the shit out of me because our roads are in no way safe for them

we don’t even have public transit

this country is so assbackwards

then how the fuck are you blind to everything steam has done for pc gaming? even now valve is literally fighting for consumer rights against payment processor censorship and pretty much single handedly advancing gaming on linux

lol at artificially, if you think epic and ubi are long term positives for consumers you’re an idiot

lol i can already tell you were not alive pre valve if this is all you think it’s done

the race to the bottom of shit services being cheaper in the short run trying to compete with valve but once valve was say not there would be ripping you off, Epic specifically

boo hoo 30%

as to Epic operating at loss, i know how it works that’s my whole point

spend 2 minutes yourself or don’t, i don’t really care

here’s a entire reddit thread on it you lazy fuck

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1rqz5i4/steam_support_about_the_new_york_attorney_general/

“In addition, although this case is about illegal gambling, it is important to note that Valve’s promotion of games that glorify violence and guns helps fuel the dangerous epidemic of gun violence, particularly among young gamers who can become numbed to grave violence before their brains are fully developed."

look at this shit, complete fucking fud

https://www.aclum.org/publications/ai-powered-surveillance-is-turning-the-united-states-into-a-digital-police-state-now-is-the-time-to-stop-it/

this from the aclu

https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/roblox-reddit-and-discord-users-compelled-to-use-biometric-id-system-backed-by-palantir-co-founder-peter-thiel/

but go ahead and tell me you think the aclu is big on conspiracy theories

lol you restating your position doesn’t suddenly make it true

just because you have no idea how fortune 500s work isn’t my concern

if she cares about valve while draft kings, polymarket, tcgs, roblox, and digital coins exist she’s a joke and this is from someone who thinks gambling is a cancer

roblox is literal gacha for preteens in a cesspool with pedos

and she doesn’t have a case for valve either lol, this shits going nowhere, this whole ‘think of the kids bullshit’ for a game rated M and a site requiring you be > 13 is just more fud for a real id

it’s not conspiracy to literally google epic using states to sue competition: google apple valve have been targeted for anticompetitive practices

epic games anti trust + state coalitions all while epic has historically come under fire for also being anticompetitive pure lol

and for the gambling charges google all the states + federal governments (eu as well) pushing for online ids for various ‘think if the children’ reasons

yay for you?

who actually cares about some randos opinion

why do tourist still go to these places?

like a brown person going to America in 2026

like i’m not blaming her and fuck that cop but why would you risk going there, minorities coming for the world cup are crazy given current america

or people that visit north korea

if you can’t see how hurting valve is a direct benefit to epic or ubi we’re wasting my time

irrelevant point? lol that’s not at all how business works

i don’t care about the gambling money beyond the hypocrisy of it while sports betting, digital currency markets and fucking polymarket exist, and i’m claiming shadiness because epic has its hand up multiple ags asses in multiple markets, just take a look at apple or google stores as well as valve, epic is funding this politic to its own benefit because it failed so fucking hard competing the real way and the ags see it as an easy target since coalitions cost money

if she actually gave a damn about gambling we’d be seeing her go after sports betting first by sheer volume, draft kings is fucking disgusting

steam is actually doing some positive things for consumers and it’s asinine to start with valve

if you think morality is involved in the american legal system you live a charmed life

because why should anyone care about the legal arguments or any ags actual knowledge about said laws if they only serve garbage companies like epic or ubi (and while pretending companies like draft kings dont exist) and that epic hasn’t attempted the same control that steam has, they just suck at the actual service part

and more to my point, this is really what the ny ag thinks is the best use of their time right now, lmao, not any kind of major fraud going on right now that maybe they want to look into if gambling is so very bad

epic games and its ‘coalition of state attorney generals’ is not self serving at all, epic just just really really cares about consumers!

if you can’t compete, litigate

lmao im sure there is no money involved at all helping the ag care

stop acting like prices going down wasnt a play that long term wouldnt result in fucking consumers, stupid to trust ubi

how long has epic games been running on negative profits?

walmart was cheaper than local grocery stores once too

supporting a false race to the bottom is some silly shit

sure but i don’t have to waste energy caring because fucking bloomberg tells me to

stop being a useful idiot

if it was the rhetoric and not the Israeli criticism that was the problem we’d seen the same actions against white supremacists or you know Israelis themselves

we made our bed

we’ve been shit for decades now and keep making it the rest of the world’s problem

we made our bed

we’ve been shit for decades now and keep making it the rest of the world’s problem

and rabies

i’ll take srings over possible rabies

can it block ads in the iphone

yea but have you tried it?

i’ve been doing so for a week and i feel smarter already
