Yeah, unfortunately. But let's think positive! How many such events in history can we think of that went relatively violence-free? I can think of two off the top of my head:

1. The end of apartheid in South Africa. All they did was to force them to free Nelson Mandela, who then promptly got elected. No major government overthrow.

2. East Germany. After the fateful press conference that caused everyone to storm the border crossings, the government basically accepted that their economy could no longer hold up, and they disbanded without a fight.

3. Honorable mention: The disbanding of the Soviet Union within Russia. There have certainly been violent revolutions in the other socialist republics, but Russia didn't need one because Yeltsin could just declare Russia independent from the Soviet Union.

Are there others I missed?

Great Scott!

This is broadly true, but it's not completely unheard-of for systems to change despite this.

You don’t understand how bus driving works.

Given that I'm not a bus driver, that's not a massive shocker. Despite, my point still stands. If you need to get someone off the bus because you need everyone off the bus, my post doesn't apply. In all other cases, if you're just bothered by the presence of a homeless person among all the “regular” passengers, then you're still an asshole.

Aww this video is too short

It means “good”, “agreeable” or “desirable”. It's modern slang so I don't blame you.

Just for completeness, “ngl” stands for “not gonna lie” and means something akin to “in my opinion” or “to be honest”.

Almost all dinosaur-centric film/TV of the 90s-2000s imply (or state outright) that the dinosaurs are now extinct. As a result, this remains a deeply held and ubiquitously perpetuated misconception. Paleontologists have suspected since the 70s, and known for sure since at least the 2000s, that the avian theropod dinosaurs survived and became modern-day birds. Therefore, birds are dinosaurs. Wikipedia is pretty clear on this.

If you're talking about the end of the day and you need everyone off the bus, ignore this post.

However, if you're talking about regular day operation and you're trying to remove someone from the bus who is doing no harm, then you're an asshole. They have it hard enough already, leave them alone.

I think the course of action is clear. Ban it from tournaments/official events. Since I'm not in the LoL scene I don't know if that might already be the case. Now, regular players will know that playing with this enhanced hardware will disqualify them from tournament play anyway. So now you simply create two modes of gameplay: tournament-legal, and casual. People who aren't aspiring to play in a tournament will play the casual game and it'll be acceptable there to use enhanced hardware. People who wish to play with people using tournament-legal hardware will play in the tournament-legal mode. There is little to no incentive to cheat in the tournament-legal game because you won't be able to cheat your way into an actual tournament that way.

Because you'll be investing in, and therefore helping that company. Only a small fraction of the company's profit is going to reach you. You'll be part of the problem with capitalism.

Oh boy, this is such an awesome story. Thank you for sticking it up to the abusive manager and entertaining us with the result.

Unfortunately I didn't have the guts to do this. I used to work at a place where everything was fine until a new line manager was installed who moved me to a different desk in another building. That desk was right next to the server room, which was noisy with a constant low-pitched grumbling. I was not able to think or concentrate in that environment, so I would frequently take my laptop to another floor and do my work there. The manager was not happy about that and demanded that I should return to my assigned desk and stay there. I told him it would mean I wouldn't be able to accomplish any work and he said something on the lines of “I don't care”. I should have taken him up on that; I should have stopped working entirely and just browsed the web all day until he gets wind of it and finally admits that he does care. But I was too cowardly to dare. I continued to defy him by spending most of my time at the “wrong” desk though.
