Do you grow 100% of your own food? It may be helpful for your understanding (and this conversation) to get off the high horse and realise that you're also dependent on companies "just to eat".

You don't think relocating someone to a camp against their will is intending to hurt? Are you serious about that?

Hacker News take of the day: Rounding up somebody and detaining them is not violence. Would you like to expand on how you came to this conclusion? It's at odds with most interpretations of labour camps and internment camps and "re

It looks like a slot machine but features no gambling mechanics. The payout is a result of the symbols you collect through a session, not a function related to a wager placed before spinning. In fact, there is no wager. It has more in commo

To extend your analogy, banning Luck Be a Landlord while allowing lootboxes and the like is kind of like banning chocolate cigarettes while allowing kids to have nicorette gum. One of them has the aesthetic, one of them has the actual negat
