Fair point. At the same time, western stuff has always been more expensive, but at this point it borderline feels like a cope.
In any case, what Spotify did does not exactly equal killing kids, that's straight up russian propaganda.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they expensive simply because of startup model and having to pay off R&D? Meaning they should normalize over time.
For some of us out of loop - what is deadnaming?

It feels weird defending Spotify as I have always disliked them and preferred YTM
Yes. Can you imagine my surprise when my drug money suddenly became mainstream? You could also buy weapons and order an assasin online.
I still don't know a single photorealistic game except for some military simulators or flight simulator
Just like with debt, we can just raise the ceiling and the problem is fixed

Another side note - If it was Visa/MS themselves, they could not switch to other payment processor as all card payment processors work with visa/ms.
Steam is awfully silent, but that's pretty normal of Gabe, transparency has never really been the strong side for Valve. Then again, steam never mentioned Visa/MS. In fact, they never mentioned any company names, only itch dared to do that, but seeing as both got hit at the same time, you don't need to be a genius to figure out steam has likely the same problem as itch.io
Apparently payment processor. Singular. Stripe. Visa/MS never changed it's policy and still allows NSFW content, they're not even a payment processor. It feels a bit bonkers now that internet bombed them when they weren't even involved with this mess and it was just Stripe. On the bright side, itch.io already announced they're ditching them and are in talks with other payment processors.
Am I the only one who really hates that comment section is slowly turning into gen-z discord channel where people communicate in reaction gifs?

Context: I was making fun of a conservative who suggested everyone who supports Ukraine should join the war. In other words, I was making fun of a person who seemingly was the one inciting violence by telling people to go to war.

Because in Israeli society, the given goal was getting rid of hamas, which is generally supported by pretty much everyone, unless you're a moron. Annexing gaza was not in initial plans, so..this is just logic. Israel is going too far and not even Israelis themselves support what IDF is doing or wants to do, generally of course, as there are always extremists on all fronts
Then again, I'm just brainstorming, trying to connect the dots
