I think the causes are right. The execution is just very poor. I don’t understand what blocking traffic has to do with it, I don’t understand what throwing paint around has to do with it.

Honestly, I think protests should be a matter of information vs information and using the right information to combat the lies and deceit projected by those they’re against.

You lose traction of your cause if all that you’re doing is trying to be the biggest intolerant prick.

I didn’t like the Black Lives Matter movement, because their ranks contained people that destroyed streets and they seemed to just budge right in on everything.

I didn’t like the Stop Oil movement, because all that they did were examples of what I brought up about blocking traffic and throwing paint.

In a Trump-lead administration and Ajit Pai heading FCC, this totally would’ve been passed by now. I don’t like how this is on the table at all and how the decision could go either way. But I’ll take that trade off than it for it to be guaranteed.

But, one bill (PERA) is from a Republican. The other bill (PREVAIL) is from a Democrat. So, this is a bipartisan effort to fuck over everyone here.

The Dark Web is full of honey pots set by the FBI. Chances are, you’re never going to find an actual hitman for hire without it being a sting operation.

Oh, I looked at the back of the book. Yeah I didn’t know they dared trying to mess with the FBI, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, NATO and more.

Yeah, that’s going to paint a lot of targets on you. Wondered what got into their minds to do all of that.

What about them? Pffft…dude, they’d rather make fun of lolcows all day and pretend that they’re still in their edgy teenage years where worshiping Hitler and dropping the N word was the coolest thing to do to them.

Yeah I mean, it would really be nice right now to have some body around that can contend and combat the legions of crazy QAnon/MAGA people online. But I guess that really isn’t in their interest.

It took SOPA/PIPA to get them to act for a while. I don’t know, they run off of arbitrary rules only they themselves know to keep the mystique up. It’s like when we needed them the most - they’re sometimes there. When we kinda sorta don’t need/want them, they just show up randomly.

I think the dawning of the Chromebooks was really a huge sign. Sure you could install Linux on some of the early models. But then Google just caught on to this and decided to take even that away. So now you had all of these Chromebooks that can only ever run ChromeOS and whatever Google approved that could run on them. You just can’t do jackshit with them because they were also online-only.

And those were pushed onto everyone, particularly schools.

You can edit the main post you know.

And anyone that performs any successful hack, can also declare themselves as part of Anonymous.

I think their direction has gone astray mixed with losing general interest mixed with aging mixed with getting caught. I think Anonymous now has just turned into a parody of itself thanks for 4chan (yeah I know it was born there) who turned it into a symbol of just shitposting trolling than doing the right things.

They used to have been prominent during the days when SOPA and PIPA had been brought up. Since then, activity has dwindled.

Trump definitely will.

He is a symbol for a large part of America where people will look at and wonder ‘…why?’ even if they understood. Trump is just a symbol of everything wrong with America contained.

Vegeta.

Akira personally doesn’t like him, which may explain so much as to why Vegeta really never got too much of the spotlight as Goku did. Sure, Saiyan Saga Vegeta is an irredeemable prick but by Freiza saga, he actually developed gradually. His complaints of being second to Goku gets tiring at times but it’s a vessel he uses to actually keep going on.

It is because of him firing off that energy ki to Cell, is what gave Gohan the advantage he needed to finish Cell off for good since he was struggling even with Goku’s help.

I just like the progress of Vegeta’s character build. I like that even though he’s not prodigy he was lead to believe in surpassing Goku, he’s still second-best compared to the rest.

These days, all that dude now needs is a phone and probably a tablet. Maybe a laptop slung over his shoulder.

In a perfect world, every dollar we spend goes right to the creators who made the creation.

I would support musicians more if I knew my money was going straight to them. But a lot of the time, they aren’t, so I pirate out of spite against the labels for robbing the musicians through contract, how much they get.

I would support movies more if I knew my money was going straight to them. But a lot of the time, they aren’t, so I buy movies second-hand from thrift stores and not the studios themselves.

I would support games much more if I knew my money was going straight to them. But a lot of the time, they mostly aren’t. So I buy games dirt cheap and occasionally pirate.

And the video games industry can give a single fuck less about preserving them. Only bringing them back for a limited time under reselling compilations or as we’ve seen, those small consoles a few years back where only a hand picked library of games were pre-installed on them. They’re only brought out to simply make a quick buck, nothing more.

Dumb TVs. I love the option to turn it into a pseudo-smart TV with just a streaming stick. But, I’m always okay with a TV that just has the ports for basic things.

Out of those four, Cox is the one seemingly being the one who’s combative. The other three will fold easily and are complicit with any demand the studios have done.

So it is very hard to imagine, really.

Uh so one side rabbled louder than the other side who also rabbled.

Haven’t watched it, can’t care to.

Oh my god, yes.

I’ve even talked with people who’re like;

This…is an example sentence…just to tell you…something.

Usually you see that with older people not used to texting or someone who’s first language is not english. But you see so many of that, it makes you wonder. I think they’re trying to make it look like they’re processing their thoughts as they’re typing?

I don’t expect people to be Charles Dickens here, but jesus, I’d rather someone take their time getting a thought out than for me to see a poorly written draft of it.

Same. Wished it had just stayed as an idea. Wished it had stayed as just a concept to be used in movies, games, shows and books. Wished it had just stayed in it’s boundaries.
