Kanye West told a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a photo of Hitler "every day"
Remember, these businesses only dropped him once it wasn't profitable to keep him around. Has nothing to do with his actual speech.

It was honestly really crazy to me when I was excited to see a game on sale, only to remember how I used to pirate everything. Steam has made it legitimately easier to buy games in so many cases.
I sometimes still do pirate games, especially if it's from a publisher I don't respect or the cracked version is known to run better, but I buy almost all of my games now days.
I've actually started setting up a home server for pirated movies and shows and getting rid of the couple streaming services I have.

Communist Filth/Capitalist Filth
Why is this shit always communist vs capitalist, like we've only got 2 answers avaliable. You fuckers never set foot in a communist country and worship this shit
Fucking communist countries have killed how many millions of their own citizens? Don't really think showing a picture of some buildings is enough to prove that they actually solved any issues. They may have solved those issues for some who were lucky enough to get an apartment, but don't be a hexbear and pretend they housed everyone.
And no, I don't want a response with a link about hurr duer capitalism bad, yeah I know, but I live in capitalism so I already know that.

NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer
Is this what the democrats think is important legislation right now?
You can make a firearm in a shitty garage shop way cheaper than the both monetary investment and time investment that comes with using a 3D printer.
People in fuckinh prisons make improvised firearms
This is a waste of time.

That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says
because it "depends on Nintendo's proprietary libraries."
At first I was a bit disappointed in Valve, but this really clarified some things. Valve is legit scared of litigation with Nintendo, which is 100% a thing I would expect any company to be scared of.

I like to imagine what I could have done if my father owned an emerald mine and I could have afforded multiple prestigious universities
My Dad cooked meth in the early 2000s and I dropped out of community college at 17 because my Mom had brain cancer.
I always just look at people who don't see the benefits of standing on the shoulders of others as entitled and childish.

The FCC is Expected to Propose the Return of Net Neutrality Protections Oct 19th
My internet is run by my coop power company, just a reminder that all the major ISPs took billions and promised fiber and then royalty fucked us, so now my internet is run by a rural power company.
Call your power company and find out if they're installing fiber. Support this move as it weakens Comcast and AT&T's death grip.
Net Neutrality has been taken away before and it can be taken away again. Just get with a coop. I've torrented literal terabytes without even an email telling me not to .

Elon Musk calls strikes ‘insane’ as Swedish workers take on Tesla
To me, proof that Elon Musk is a doofus and not as smart as he thinks he is, is that he had this public persona of "real life Iron Man" billionaire playboy thing going, and within just a couple years his public image has become "douche bag with too much money". Obviously that one is way closer to reality, which is exactly my point.
Someone with half a brain would have hired a PR team to keep the original image intact for as long as possible, but he's so egotistical and so prideful and so oblivious he thinks he can let his real self on display and that'll just carry him
I think most people are at a point where they only really want to know what he's up to to make fun of him.

Have mercy on our souls
Gin? Genetics? Giant?
Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?
I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.
People also like to argue it's an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?
Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.

Mexico's president is willing to help with border migrant crush but wants US to open talks with Cuba
My dad has been saying for decades how ridiculous it is we have neglected this entire hemisphere, causing damage and then complaining when the countries we've directly impacted have people who want a better life.
Imagine the position we'd be in if we moved all of our low cost manufacturing labor to central and South America instead of China. There's no reason we can't be helping our direct neighbors.

Texas cops arrest 11-year-old honors student and put him in solitary confinement for three days
I've dealt with school staff who seem to get off on having power of students. Like they go out of their way to bully some kids or they enjoy enacting harsh punishments.
I also think the police officer turning off his body can to intimidate a child should be fired. We need to pass laws that prevent this.

They said they would do that if Unity didn't roll back their per install fee bullshit, which they did. So this comment makes you look fucking stupid.
