Yeah, but they've been burning them.

Good point. I think "oligarch" is more accurate.

That's actually a very good point, and I guess I misunderstood your position.

No Labels is an astroturf group that aims to divide the dem vote. It is NOT a legitimate option for those who want to advance progressive policies. They do not disclose their funding and investigations have found that a large donor was Harlan Crowe; the billionaire who bought InJustice Thomace.

Maybe someone should challenge dem leadership, but splitting the vote with a party backed by far-right billionaires isn't the answer. It's the fucking problem.

β€œWe were very wealthy,” says Errol Musk. β€œWe had so much money at times we couldn't even close our safe.”

With one person holding the money in place, another other would slam the door.

β€œAnd then there'd still be all these notes sticking out and we'd sort of pull them out and put them in our pockets.”

You are willfully ignorant.

So, I went back and tried to look for a source, but you're right. Thanks for informing me! From the few sources I read, those issues were debunked, exaggerated, or due to bad implementation. I want to add that I still don't like the idea of Denuvo (or any other DRM) on digital media that I purchase, but that's a different topic.

Edit: Seems the below statement was factually incorrect. Oops!

It's a very obnoxious and heavy-handed approach to anti-piracy measures. It slows down games, kills framerates, gives users a whole host of other performance issues, and just makes the experience worse overall. It's a product that doesn't even seem to care to improve, because they make their money from publishers, not the people who buy and play the game. Many people hate it, and I believe it's absolutely justified.

I see people say that NordVPN is a bad choice all the time, but I've never seen any credible evidence that they're not trustworthy. Can anyone provide any sources with valid reasons to avoid their service? I only know that they had some servers hacked in 2018, but it seems as though they took that very seriously and upgraded their hardware and encryption accordingly. I'm just trying to decide if I want to start looking at alternatives, but honestly I'm pretty satisfied with my experience so far.
