That's "Super Elite Sniper game 18", "Car hijacking game 18" and "Mafia Syndicate game 18". Until next year at least when you get to buy the same game again. But with a 19 in the title!
True that. Those bleedin' heart assholes over at YouTube claimed my hilarious "fluffy dog on fire" video was against their ToS, even though it was my neighbor that doused the pooch in gasoline, I only tossed the zippo.
Corporations have no idea what they're selling and only know for how much.
For the average CEO it doesn't matter whether he's selling computer games or lawn mowers, they pretty much treat them the same. This is why small businesses with people who know what they're doing can actually still exist.
The EU would be VERY dumb to do that. YouTube is basically the Cute Cat of digital activism.
Shut down access to YouTube is the start signal for Europeans to get VPN access to VPN servers outside the EU. And as soon as this happens, the EU can as well stuff any law concerning the internet (along with their precious "anti-hate-speech" bullshit) in their pipe and smoke it, since nobody would even notice that they did.
All that really would accomplish is that any interesting and thus profitable online resources would be found outside the EU, outside EU jurisdiction and most of all, outside of any area where the EU would get tax revenue from it.
Mostly because nobody involved gives a shit about copyright crap. I want to listen to music, YouTube wants to provide it. How they do it, why the fuck would I care?
There are many European video platforms. But guess what, they have the same copyright problems YouTube has, maybe even more so because they can't even claim that the video is actually hosted abroad, and hence the stuff they supply is mostly useless.
The only thing that would happen is that people either start using VPN services or switch to browsers with built-in VPN services altogether.
And now a party that represents that positions? Because unless there is one, you can have any opinion you want, if nobody is there to represent you, you may as well not exist in our political world.
When someone who you do not want to have your phone information is in possession of your phone, you can wipe it. Sounds like pretty much what the idea behind the feature was.
I have replaced air travel with overnight train travel wherever possible. It's actually not more expensive and you actually get to sleep properly instead of being squeezed into a seat not worth the name. Our train companies caught on and there are quite a few options by now that let you travel through the night in quite a bit of comfort.
As long as you travel less than 1000 miles, this has become a very viable option.
The problem is, simply put, that the "first world" consumes at a rate that is not even sustainable if only the first world consumes at this rate, and that the rest of the world also wants to do just that. China is already getting there. If Africa decides they want to live like Europe (instead of just in Europe, as right now) we're FUBAR.
If a commercial airliner crashes, you're fucked anyway. Have you ever flown? Do you know what it looks like when it's time to leave the plane? How long it takes from the opening of the doors 'til you get there? And this is in an orderly, controlled and prepared situation where nobody is panicky, everyone's composed and even if people are in a hurry to catch their next plane, most people stay fairly civil.
Now consider the same amount of people in the same room, just now as a panicky herd stampeding. You won't get out of this alive. You can as well sit in a box in the freight room, your chances for survival are actually higher that way.
Use the CEO, upper management and their families as test subjects, stuff the rest of the plane with homeless people and then tell everyone the first 20 to exit the plane get 50 bucks.
Then start looking for a new CEO and upper management. And pay your cleanup crew handsomely, they earned it.
(that "first 20 to exit get money" test was actually done when airlines found out that the evacuation tests worked like a charm while there were many unnecessary deaths in real emergency situations. People don't act civil when their life's at stake...)

Oh, that's a viral video even I would love to see!
Yes. I just aim the gun at the asshole instead of me.
Yeah, I cheat. So what?

That I value existing life over potentially future one.
My concept is not the elimination of existing life but avoiding spawning more.
The problem with this idea is to identify those "best" women. Every attempt so far failed miserably.
And now a party that represents that positions? Because unless there is one, you can have any opinion you want, if nobody is there to represent you, you may as well not exist in our political world.
What's missing is plausible deniability. The next version should have a self destruct mechanism that sets the battery on fire.
Ok, it would only work as plausible with Samsung devices, but hey, it's the staple of the industry to copy features from the competitor.

you and your existence mean nothing.
Aww. But I thought every life is sacred?
Interesting concept. Do you get to buy/sell replacement credits?
Ass-raping wouldn't be the problem... sigh, did you miss biology classes or did you get abstinence-only sex ed?

I could literally retire right now and not run out of things to do for the rest of my life, no matter how old I may get.
If you define yourself only by your work, I have nothing but pity for you.
Console gamers will be able to play with PC gamers without having to rely on aimbots.
Sorry. "Aiming assistance".
Pressurized and heated freight exists, so the only problem that remains is bathrooms.
Well, considering that I will have to take a few bottles of soda with me that problem should be manageable.

More legroom, fewer crying kids, what's not to like?
