Easy, you just name them after whatevers distinguish that bee. Like if the bee only can see on four of his five eyes, you naturally call him Foureye.

No. But I am responsible for my own and my friends and family's safety.

So what is right, is it to let these be free to indoctrinate themselves into hating me and my fellow humans and spreading harmful beliefs until theres no room for our kind? Or is it to police what they are allowed to consume and become the fascist I didnt want these gullible fools to become? Also if we did, how long until someone turned it around on us: Declared themselves the less gullible ones and worthy of policing what we should watch?

Assuming most humans means well and want good, we'd always outnumber and outvote those who are fool enough to believe in the hate. But seeing politicians who demonstrately and openly want the worst towards certain people, somehow manage to get voted into leadership of one of the most influental countries in the world.. It has shaken my belief in that tolerance will win out in a democracy.

Should. But its not like we can force them to grow up and become responsible.

Yeah, theres a very good reason I dont use Spotify anymore. Not any music streaming services at all. Only good ol' reliable mp3s. Their idea of "service" is to silently remove songs from my playlists as their licenses expire, and then top it by replacing "Hotel California" with the WORST cover song I've ever heard.

Imagine if Sony stopped selling on Steam, and Steam in response silently replaced my "Days Gone" game with "The Day Before"? I would have been so pissed. But with music it seems that is totally okay.

Well.. Technically that shit was 3D. Buildings, signs, and fences had perspective. And the streets looked pretty sweet in level editors that allowed one to move the camera to ground view. If one didn't mind seeing flat cars and flat people, because those were 2D.

Anyway, I'm just being annoyingly pedantic as an excuse to share some nostalgic memories of that game. Don't mind me.

Once. It'll better be one hell of an ad because it will lose them my subscription. I stopped watching television back in the late 90s because of all the ads, before even I had internet to watch pirated media. I don't wear clothes with too visible logos. Just saying to illustrate how this ain't an empty threat.

Losing a single customer probably doesn't matter to them. But I hope Im not the only one?

Norwegian who was in "Speider'n". Nobody here cared about the religious parts of it.

I'm guessing android app store does some kind of staggered update schedule but the apps themselves got code that demands it always be on the latest version. Just guessing, mind you.

Yeah,when I got more than 30 totp accounts, I gave up on keeping them separate. Its still better than 1FA.

I know I heard my name called occasionally as a kid. Clear as day but directionless, seemingly from very close to me. I figured its just a bug in a developing mind. But could also be that my mom got damn angry if I didnt hear her calling so I was always listening for it, and like the article describe, I picked up noise and the brain filled in the expectation.

Oh this is gonna be great! I hope. Except.. There something about the graphics, I cant figure out what, that makes it feel less realistic. To me at least. Is it just my nostalgia for the old pixelated graphics that ruins how it looks? Or is it something more tangible, that might possibly even be fixed before release?

Its music level released on YT gave it a lot of exposure. If even that wasn't enough, what hope do we have for an Alan Wake 3 or Control 2 without a crappy tacked-on monetization scheme? Because thats always next if a singleplayer game series doesn't make as much money as the publishers wanted it to.
