I believe they're referring to collective ownership https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_ownership

Who are the scab mods who are coming in? Are they getting paid?

And that is why Waze has to go away. It's giving people info on cops, so that's becoming politically inconvenient for Google.

Yeah good thing we did this! Can you imagine if we didn't? There would be rampant inflation and the economy would be in shambles. Businesses would be closing left and right. Sounds like a nightmare. Really glad we avoided all of that.

You're not wrong, but it's an interesting point you bring up. They were willing to stay on Twitter with Musk's antics, but it seems like they aren't willing to put up with another Musk and another set of antics.

Oh man I loved those games and I never hear anyone talk about them anymore! They were so fun. I found out about them because someone installed the shareware version of the original on one of the Apple computers at my elementary school. I remember when EV: Nova came out and the ships finally had engine glow it was a HUGE deal.

Oh nice, this totally reminds me of Escape Velocity back in the day. Looks like an updated version. I love it.

It's not so much that they're bored, although that's probably how they frame it to themselves.

For some people, it's that to be that rich you have to ignore a lot of suffering and inequality. I think that takes a toll on your mental health if you don't constantly distract yourself, hence all the thrill-seeking/chaotic behavior and drug use.

For other people, it's that after having a lifetime of no one ever denying them anything, or facing any consequences, they genuinely start to think they can truly do [whatever] they want.

Yo Buckminster Fuller was saying back in the 60's that the earth was too small for us to ignore environmental problems and this is literally exactly what the fuck he was talking about. Ugh.

Their apple support has always been pretty mixed at best. I always assumed they're the kind of gamers who are like "windows is for gaming, gamers use windows, sure you CAN do other things, but why would you?"

Unequivocally yes. You are clearly not engaging in good faith and tolerance of malicious disinfo is basically the main problem currently facing our culture.

So you advocate your own posting taking its natural course and dying off? I can think of a way you can hurry up this process.
