Did we mention his supporters are unbelievably stupid?

They want someone to ‘drain the swamp’ of corruption: they choose the guy who worked a lot with the mob in New York, and showers dictators with praise, while breaking the Constitution’s emoluments clause and repeatedly committing open corruption.

They want someone to get to the bottom of the child abuse scandal surrounding Epstein: they choose his literal best friend who has been credibly accused of rape by multiple parties.

They want a Christian to lead the country to rebuild on the faith: they choose a three time adulterer who cheated on his current wife with a porn star and made payments to keep her quiet.

This is just the tip of the iceberg and it’s all public knowledge.

They are dumb as rocks.

Its a poem by Dayna Craig, known as The Narcissists Prayer.

If they wanted any games banned all they had to do was talk to the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) in Australia, where they’re based. Any of the games listed would have likely been added to the ‘Refused Classification’ list and thereby banned from sale and import in Australia. If they wanted them pulled from Steam or Itch entirely they could have talked to those platforms.

But they didn’t want to raise objections through appropriate preexisting channels, they wanted to push their Christian-based ideology on the whole world by going Karen on the social media of all the payment processors.

Yeah keep moving the goalposts, I never claimed you said Starlink was better than all ISPs I simply clarified ‘better’. I’m white-knighting for the rural users now? No I’m pointing out how stupid it is to cheer for the regulators that are supposed to work for you instead shitting on you, because the corporations have lobbied them to and a very corporation-friendly government is in power.

Your response: cheer for the big corporate ISP (what do you think Starlink is exactly)? Gtfoh.

Starlink is only ‘better’ (in some cases, certainly isn’t better in all nor at all times as its speed is highly variable), because your US cable and ISP giants have lobbied for decades to remove any oversight the FCC may exert on them - up to and including banning local communities from building their own networks, and ensuring that they have more or less monopoly control in many rural markets.

The only way to fix this is with the hammer of the FCC regulation. The ‘free market’ cannot fix a monopoly.

So when you laugh at your rural citizenry getting shafted by FCC policy changes that will benefit nobody but the large ISPs & cable companies, because you’re in a city and have lots of optiond with the competition that high-density living affords, you’re shooting your own regulatory powers in the foot for the sake of spite.

This is all setting aside of course than a huge proportion of rural Americans are not MAGA.

So yeah that’s why it’s a crappy take.

Dumb take. When the Trump supporters can’t get good internet speeds from their local broadband infrastructure thanks to crap like this, they turn to Starlink, prop up fascist Elmo, and to boot they have it reinforced to them once again that the ‘government is useless, only the Free Market ©® can provide good quality services’.

Literal sternly worded letter.

That’s where we’re still at.

That’s even less consumer friendly. If you purchase a game and it turns out to be shovelware that barely works and has a bunch of gamed reviews on the store page? Oh too bad sap, you got conned this is non-refundable.

Consumers had to fight for games that do refundable, I don’t think we should be quick to consider loopholes.
