Cypher,

Two issues, you can download and play your games in ‘perpetuity’ so long as Valve continues on the current operating model.

And Valve has not been particularly consumer friendly in the past.

They were found to be violating consumer rights in Australia at the very least and had to put a large notification on their storefront to disclose exactly what they had been wrong.

Valve were forced into providing a refund model and even then it often conflicts with consumer interest. Though admittedly bad actors will always try to abuse any refund model on digital products.

Cypher,

They should have been shot. North Korean soldiers have previously used such incursions to plant land mines on patrol routes.

Cypher,

Sure is compassionate of you to be concerned for the lives of men fighting to oppress their own people under a brutal dictatorship.

Cypher,

Yes, it is compassionate to oppose a war.

It is not compassionate to support a brutal dictatorship.

Even if you personally don’t feel one side is human

Nice strawman you started building, it’s a shame you stopped half way.

And even if you don’t consider either side human

Another half attempt at finishing your strawman?

you know we spend billions

You’re making a lot of assumptions here.

keeping South Korea militarized right?

If only they didn’t have a brutal dictatorship next door.

We’re still paying

Wrong.

I suspect that you don’t care about either side’s people

It only took you three paragraphs to complete your strawman! Congrats you did it.

defend western hegemony.

Cry about it tankie scum.

Cypher,

My argument is they should have been shot.

The weak little dictator isn’t going to get into a shooting match with the South over a couple of dead soldiers.

If you think they will then you know nothing of the history.

Cypher,

Huh, his hands really are tiny

Cypher, (edited )

Correct me if I’m wrong but you mean Feirefiz? Who is a Saracen knight who attends a feast held by King Arthur and not one of Arthur’s knights?

I wouldn’t refer to Wolfram von Eschenbach as a historian either.

Cypher,

Yea electric vehicles are so unreliable that dealerships are all salivating over having captive customers in their service plans.

/s

Cypher,

FYI jet skis are much more dangerous than motorcycles.

Cypher,

You complete lack of knowledge of the British empire is hilarious in the context of a discussion on colonialism.

Cypher,

You know he doesn’t. Honestly I’m surprised he knows where the reply button is.

Cypher,

the United States when talking about colonial genociders considering it’s the OG

The OG huh?

What’s OG mean you inveterate cunt?

What came before the US you dense motherfucker?

Cypher,

No one is denying that indigenous American people were genocided.

Everyone is pointing out that others did it first, to other populations, and the USA in no way can considered the “OG”.

You dumb fuck.

Cypher,

Yes Im sure it’s all about addressing dietary deficiencies and not profit motivated at all

Cypher,

This contribution was based on the understanding that Syngenta would retain commercial exclusivity for the technology, including large agricultural setups in developing countries.

Lots of claims about it being for humanitarian purposes but there it is.

Cypher,

I did. Did you see the part about it being free only for farms which earn under $10,000 annually?

Do you have any idea of the history of litigation around cross pollination from GMO crops?

What happens when a small farmer cross pollinates a larger farm? Do they get sued the same way Monsanto sued farmers for the cross pollination of GMO corn?

There are many unanswered issues that could arise from allowing golden rice and trusting Western philanthropy, which has been weaponised against developing nations in the past, is a surefire path to costly sabotage.

Cypher,

Your opinion is not grounded in fact as represented by statistics from a wide range of countries.

Cypher,

Down performs better than most alternatives, is biodegradable and last decades when properly cared for.

The alternatives that out perform down, usually only in some situations, aren’t biodegradable and are made from oil.

Cypher,

I saw the original last night and now this, and it briefly made me wonder if I had a small stroke last night.

Cypher,

If a swamp was his natural habitat he would probably feel great.

Alligators cannot be domesticated and the whole concept of an “emotional support “ alligator is purely abusive to the animal.

Cypher,

Good to see you have formed a strong opinion without having all of the information.

Cypher,

Nah there are some seriously unfortunate people out there.

Cypher,

I immediately thought the same, Australia has enough to supply the world for a loooong time.

Cypher,

Hmmm Custodes don’t ever get a choice about their training. They start being modified from infancy.

It’s constantly amusing to me how many lore purists get simple stuff wrong that is spelt out in the Codexes.

Cypher,

Custodes aren’t Space Marines.

Cypher,

Well that just makes sense.

Through selection pressures the only surviving Australians are highly venomous.

Cypher,

The Australian government needs to retaliate in a serious way.

They just had talks between generals about this sort of dangerous behaviour and the Chinese immediately do this.

This is a message from China that they don’t respect Australia. Fine.

Australia should cut coal and iron exports to the bastards right before their next winter hits.

Cypher,

I gave an exact example of serious retaliation.

Australia can find other markets for its exports as we did previously.

China needs a reality check. They need Australia and they need to respect the safety of Australian citizens.

Cypher,

You’re glad someone who cares about the safety of Australian citizens isn’t in power?

Way to out yourself I guess.

Cypher,

So your greedy and spineless solution is to allow these bullying tactics to continue until Australians are killed, and then continue to allow trade afterwards.

Cypher,

So full blown war over seeking alternative trading partners is a better outcome? Because that’s what will happen if Chinese aggression isn’t met with severe consequences.

Cypher,

Yea selling some iron ore is worth sleep walking into WWIII.

Cypher,

Blackouts in the country that is an energy exporter.

Starvation in a food exporter.

Shows what you know about economics.

Cypher,

Trump is the only US President to ever plot to overthrow the US government.

There is no argument here. You are simping for a fat rich sack of shit who tried to end US democracy.

Cypher,

That turned out great and had no negative consequences whatsoever

Cypher,

You’re right.

Holy shit. This never happens.

I feel like I just saw a unicorn.

Cypher,

I can tell. You have my respect for that, and I fully agree about combatting misinformation.

Misinformation is the most damaging thing impacting societies globally right now.

Cypher,

Sorry I was only a passing observer though I did learn a little about international law from it which is neat.

Cypher,

He’s just peddling right wing talking points with no intention of actually examining the data.

Your comment is good for anyone else who stumbles across this and is willing to learn.

Cypher,

A furry peddling far right talking points.

Cypher,

Did you even read your own article?

I haven’t linked any articles, but Im about to. I know keeping track of simple comment chains is difficult for some people.

blog.ucsusa.org/…/five-things-the-nuclear-bros-do…

The cost of decommissioning reactors is unavoidable and factored into the lifetime cost of power delivery. They don’t last forever despite the fairy tales people believe about nuclear power.

Talking about land use, what about the storage of nuclear waste? Are you going to have it in your backyard?

Cypher,

They could look into repurposing farming equipment and supplies given all the shortages they’re experiencing

'Run, run, run': Chaos at a Sydney mall as 6 people stabbed to death, and the suspect fatally shot (apnews.com)

A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured....

Cypher,

Your inability to use an automatic weapon accurately has no bearing on how many casualties a competent person could inflict with one you muppet.

Cypher,

The nutter who shot up that LA concert spent a lot of time training, and spent years buying his firearms and ammo.

Australian’s have zero interest in going down the route that America has with school shootings. The stabbing is a tragedy that could have been much worse.

And unlike in the US UNARMED civilians were able to intervene and slow the attacker down.

Fuck you brainwashed cretins who would rather have children dying than give up your precious penis extensions.

Cypher,

The international reaction to Rwanda was informed by the disastrous peacekeeping attempt in Somalia which was initiated in December 1992.

There was no political will amongst any nations to mire themselves in another costly and deadly intervention in Africa.

To point the finger at the US and allies is to ignore the historical and political context in which these events occurred.

Cypher,

The case in the OP is in Australia. Your story is from the US and has absolutely zero bearing on any likely outcome.

Cypher,

So you would see no issue if they had simply labeled the site as exclusive for cis women?

Cypher,

Memeing this image is pretty disrespectful considering it’s entirely obvious how pissed they were at having their privacy invaded.
