Just out of curiosity, what other violent crimes do get a pass for "not knowing it was wrong?"

Like do you believe that people can assault other people with weapons without knowing it was wrong? Can they beat their wives and not know it was wrong?

You seem to have a weird hangup on rape in particular in comparison to other violent crimes when it comes to "knowing it was wrong."

I'm pretty sure the MS13 guys that butcher people know it's wrong they just don't give a shit. I'm sure people who use physical violence to get what they want know it's wrong but they just don't care.

Stupid standard, people can rationalize any crime rape ain't special.

Oh well, the market clearly accepts paid cosmetics. It sucks for people who don't spend money on it like me but at the end of the day people will blow cash on it and that's why it keeps getting up charged.

I doubt it, this kind of logic is the same as "medical costs are insane because modern medical tech is expensive."

It completely ignores the entire economy all functioning under advanced technology to create and produce advanced goods more cheaply with the technology that costs money. It's also mismanagement in the same way the movie and TV industry has seen, they don't want to hire writers cause they don't want to pay them, so instead they just spend hundreds of millions on reshoots because having a writer being paid 60k on staff 24/7 was too costly apparently and some suit got a promotion for "saving" that money.

Someone made a better version of "the day before" with a few grand in purchased assets and a couple months using UE5. If you were creating your own resources instead of buying them and you had an actual vision then you absolutely can make a game for less than hundreds of millions that will return that money back to you. How much did pal world take in? How much is helldivers 2 currently making? What were their production costs?

Just because some inept studio run by corporate bean counters can only churn out tech demos for millions of bucks doesn't mean that's the actual standard for cost and production of gaming.

True but they were back before the election and those same conservatives he appointed told him to cram his election fraud narrative.

Plus it's just in favor of conservatives, not stacked completely.

Yeah I've noticed I'm spending less and less time here the more every community either devolves into doom and gloom politics or Linux.

Reddit sucks, Tildes is too small to matter, but Lemmy just doesn't have any kind of variety whatsoever. The niche communities all died out in June after the people who thought they'd be kick starting them for the reddit Exodus had to carry them with no conversation or posts, and now it's just this shit in every community.

Ah yes, a Vice article from 2016. Absolute pinnacle of the understanding of law.

If this had even a shred of truth there would have already been dozens of class action lawsuits from people like OP.

No, it's not. That's an impossible standard for the company to hold.

You buy the product under the assessment that you will void the warranty by doing XYZ, if you want that level of access you have made changes that could have damaged the battery and they don't have the time to grill every wannabe tech douche to make sure they didn't fuck up the device themselves.

They tell you what you can and can't do with the product AND still receive support up front, case closed.

None of which exist currently and won't be planned until after the overthrow of the system has resulted in another power grab and we end up in the same situation with a different hierarchy.

Stonks.

Seriously though, anarchy and whatever it means to you is purely theoretical in nature. "Anarchy is insert thing that's never existed and OP can't even explain in detail" is a useless statement, all you're saying is it's not what we have now and somehow it won't have any kind of vertical elevation of humans above one another.

We can all create fantasy utopias in our heads and claim they are or aren't whatever we want.

Starfield was so bad people consider The Outer Worlds to be a better Bethesda RPG in space, try telling that to someone in 2022.

He used to be a straight up IT support style channel that had a bunch of useful information about troubleshooting and configuration.

Now it's just "watch us build our 5,837th gaming PC from Wish.com!" He's officially gotten to the point where he has more money than ideas.
