Doubtful, since I haven’t figured out what point he was actually trying to make.

I’d like my partner’s knees to work again so they can do something I like. On their knees. To me.

There’s also some riding somewhere in there I suppose.

I’ll be frank, I still have no freaking idea what your problem is.

“It isn’t racist to call a Native American a ‘yank’ because I’m ignorant about racism.”

Courtesy of Wikipedia.

Outside the United States, Yank is used informally to refer to a person or thing from the US. It has been especially popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand where it may be used variously, either with an uncomplimentary overtone, endearingly, or cordially.[4]

Again with the Americentrism defaultism. You think that just because some people in your country use it as an insult or whatever, it must be true worldwide.

Would you like to explain how I was ‘dunking’ on an indigenous person when my statement was nothing more than explaining what Yankee means to the average non-American?

identifies them with the occupying settler state that has committed genocide against their people.

Dude, that’s your internal history. What makes you think any non American gives a shit about it?

Not necessarily what you’re looking for, but provides some interesting context for others

You imperialist coloniser superpower douchebag!

Billionaires, and everybody living outside the US

I’m Asian. My country was colonised by Europeans till half a century ago.

Keep going, this is funny. We’ve gone from ‘America is the only nation on earth’ to ‘oh yeah, Europe exists too’.

You try running into comments thinking they’re the only nation on earth in every health article and see how long you stay sympathetic.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Are you saying he’s NOT an American because he’s indigenous? And wtf is racist? At least now I know what his comment means. You people think everybody knows the same things you do.

(I’m Asian BTW, but yeah go on)

Americans, we get it, you have no healthcare system worth the name. Stop assuming nobody else worldwide can get the meds either.

You’re an American, that’s what Yankee means to everybody outside the states.

I agree with you that anything using Steam’s services should be subject to their terms. I don’t think a lot of people are arguing to the contrary about that. I have heard others accuse, though I don’t know with how much basis, that they apply the same control to games not using their infra.

The only example ever floated of them doing this with out steam keys or them being the distribution source was a single email from steam support to a developer. That has been proven over and over to have been a miscommunication and not actually an enforced policy.

If this is true, I definitely agree that they have done nothing wrong. Problem is with the many conflicting stories online and lack of solid info.

They don’t limit competition, but it’s a more open question whether they are engaging in a form of price fixing.

I can sort of understand their logic. That’s no longer a beach, just a sea of plastic.

PCMag notes that you can save money in the long run by buying the router from a retailer. “Over the long term, the $10 monthly fee isn’t a great deal, either, since it means forking over $360 during a three-year subscription,” the article said. “The standard dish currently retails for $349 at retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart, but it’s been discounted to $199 or even $89.”

Seriously, this is raging for the sake of raging. It’s not like they stopped selling the equipment.

It’s one of the sites linked in the megathread.

They’re actually donating their excess funds, that doesn’t exactly scream ‘going under’.

You say that as if some people don’t literally do the same thing since ‘there’s always room for improvement’.

Trying games out is absolutely a thing. I’ve bought so many indie games because I tried them out and liked them, that I wouldn’t have taken a chance on.
