Umm... I am an American, and never said anything about hating the place. I dislike the American attitude I encounter daily that everything happening here has more importance and everywhere else is irrelevant.

FWIW, Apple has 28% of the global market share compared to Google at 70%. By the numbers, one is far closer to being a monopoly than the other.

40%+ of the world

That's dillusional American-centric thinking. Apple only has a 28% market share globally while Android still dominates over 70%.

He has never treated another human being as a human so why should we extend him even the tiniest shred of human courtesy? I'm personally fine watching him blather incoherently, shit his pants and have a stroke on stage in front of a crowd, because his cult needs to see their demigod for who he really is, even if they refuse to accept reality.

You sound like a Putin shill when you're advocating to end support for Ukraine, which, in case you need reminding, didn't invade itself.

They never make a lawsuit their opening move, first it's a cease and desist, but don't count on Sony Music Canada to do nothing.

I don't think people who are actually wealthy get tax advice from the fiscal voodoo magic crowd on Facebook. More likely they hire a CPA, lawyer and business manager to make all the tax evasion happen legally.

I haven't bought Elden Ring for this exact reason, but I love watching other people struggle and then succeed at it.

I have one friend who uninstalled Elden Ring completely after they reduced the difficulty of the new expansion DLC because he felt like they watered down his achievement of beating it.

Ultimately games are a form of art and their designers and developers have the ultimate say in how accessable (or not) they want to make the experience. I have also seen games with way too much ease of play features that completely destroy any challenge to the point of making it unplayable (looks a Ubisoft).

Researching games before you buy has become a critical skill to avoid feeling burned, because social media does an amazing job of selling you games through FOMO.

That's a lot easier said than done. There's a reason property in that area is relatively more affordable than in other parts of the state.

That's Couch-fucker McGuy-Liner to you.

I'm sorry but Couch-fucker McGuy-Liner is way too good not to use.
