There are no twitter stocks, you can't buy or sell them, and therefore can't short them, since you need to borrow them to do just that. This could work if Elon had some percent of the company, so other people's money would enter the equation, but right now it is not possible.

Most of those are already shit (Fallout, Diablo, Overwatch, call of duty) or shelved 25+ years ago (Commander Keen, Hexen, Phantasmagoria...). Microsoft's own games are rather good compared to Activision Blizzar or even Bethesda.

Lets start from your statement - it is shit. And people paid 70$ for it. No need to go further. Their voices deserve to be heard (since, you know, 70$). And now you say that they shouldn't have believed the hype as if they are wrong and not the people that overpromised and (not underdelivered but) lied.

But also all of them had zero homes.

I have a backlog full of 7/10 that are left untouched in my library. I'm not paying 70€ for 7/10 that i have to manage expectations. In fact, i'd rather buy outer wilds for a second time.

For the last 20 years I have installed linux 1-2x a year to see whats new, do some rice and leave it like that. My work is tied to the adobe/capture one and it's much easier to have windows than use other solutions. I installed linux on my mom's pc that i maintain and it works like magic.

Had to read your comment three times before it started making sense.

I can see where you are coming from and I agree. My comment, although a hyperbole was more in line with "we have to stop the bullies", but the truth is that there is a clear line between breaking the law and just enjoying your rights. Thanks for the sobering conversation :)

Sounds like: "If you don't like being shot at, don't walk down this street". Sure, it's a temporary solution, but we need to fix the problems, not pretend that they will go away on their own.

I don't really get it. I have 10 tickets and I gave an ad that im selling them at 3x price. You can pay me via paypal and get it, or give me money in person in front of a venue. After that I will transfer you tickets. I just fail to see that additional layer of protection. I'm talking about reselling.

If you block reselling again I fail to see how will that be different than using standard database to collect all the data and check the documents at the entrance?
