Ah, the EULA of the United States.
"The People (from henceforth to be referred to as 'we')"
Reading it this way also makes the following line interesting:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

Cloudflare is a fancy, modern word for lightning. So any Cloudflare downtime is just a power outage due to a thunderstorm.

I had to read that a second time before I realized they weren't talking about 'cases' but 'outbreaks'. Yeah, I might even be willing to call one outbreak a fluke, but two *outbreaks*? Sorry, not sorry. You done effed up somewhere along the way.

So if you're antifa, you are by definition a "foreign terrorist" and therefore can be legally picked up by ice? I don't like this.

While the things that monster says are concerning to understate it, that near hour of time between could be much. I was ready to step up for the BBC, but yeah... I still wish I had the sentence or two before for context into his "train of thought" to that concerning line.

This idea gives me the vibes of Stephanie Sterling's 'Bethesda did video games wrong' song they play whenever they go to bash Bethesda. I support whatever you decide to do to emphasize your dissatisfaction.

The "I know you are but what am I?" levels are off the charts. I especially appreciate where he openly tells on himself, saying "which is all they are" about immigrants. What a classhole.

Insincere arguments all around. Each argument nullifies the previous one, and they don't care because being right doesn't matter to them as long as they're making enough noise to confuse the argument.

Two things: You'll clearly need to use the shareware wad for public release, but allow those of us who own Doom to drop our wads somewhere so we can play full doom on ads.

It might be that the console wars are over, simply because consoles just became computers with its own private OS. It feels like we're in the early phases of the platform wars, whatever that becomes. XBox doesn't have a thing like Nintendo's target audience and PlayStation's more adult feel.

In the past month there have been videos about an increase of AI psychosis and AI acting to preserve itself. Maybe we should be having deeper conversations.

I'm reminded of the line from the Green Day musical, Favorite Son. It's about the fictionalized president in the story.

How much more gladiatorial combat can you get than the UFC?
