I haven't had a problem with that for a while. The installers I've been getting directly from the Oracle JDK pages haven't installed anything extra, or asked to.

> "To become a better parent, one must become a better person." I've met so many people that for some reason believed the moment they became a parent they also instantly became a better person.

Well you better get to work, because the precursors to this are all in place already.

Your snarky comment belies your thin implication that you yourself are a mature adult for not liking games.

The AI in Civ 5 was its biggest failing. It's not like the AIin Civ 4 was so much better, but it handled the game mechanics better. The change to 1 Unit Per Tile in Civ 5 and 6 basically brought to the forefront the weakness of the AI

For each of those destructive things you mentioned I could name a positive and contributing thing. Humans aren't all bad or all good. It's a spectrum of traits and behaviours, and they absolutely can be altered and conditioned.

That's four countries out of 28, and the Polish government is losing popularity (my girlfriend is Polish, I visit Poland often) due to its ultra-conservative Catholic views. Poland was one of the most pro-EU countries in the union, and

I'm struggling to see what massive wins you are referring to here. The only 'win' I can think of of the top of my head was the UK referendum, which was 52/48 in favour of leaving. Polls taken now suggest that people are

Boohoo, those poor American multinationals. How about just follow the fucking laws and regulations of the countries you do business in?

This is that same tired, old accusation of protectionism in the UK and EU, and it's totally baseless. US tech giants are behaving unethically and in some cases illegally. As soon as the countries in which they do business decide enough

Considering ethics as a field of study has been a thing since at least Ancient Greece I would say yes, it probably would have some effect on you.

The companies fault, definitely. It is unrealistic to assume that the average person is going to know everything they need to to protect themselves against such a company, especially when they have billions in revenue and armies of lawyers

> The FBI was granted a search warrant by a judge based on evidence they presented. At the very least this is a process that involves multiple branches of the government. I'm not sure why that is a justification. The Chinese securit

Exactly, I don't care. Not if if the trade-off is being tracked or advertised to. If that happens with a service I'm already paying for, they get dropped entirely. It's not my problem how the company chooses to go forward wit

I don't care what these people consider legitimate.

Yeah, thanking them is a pretty good way to encourage them to continue.

Content creators seem to be expecting a lot, based on absolutely nothing.

The surveillance of citizens and credit scores don't apply to the US? Or the obscene ballooning of rents without a corresponding increase in wage? Absurd overtime expectations?
