I, for once am excited. I didn't buy Overwatch since I was deeply disappointed in Blizzard, after D3. Then the whole pandering to CCP and Blitzchung fiasco happened and that cemented my decision.

I didn't play Valor ant since I don't enjoy having a Chinese kernel level spyware on my PC.

So this may be something that can satisfy my itch.

    The thing is that Steam doesn't have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don't criticize them.

    Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don't trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

    In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.

    Ran rm -rf after copying filepath with a space. The directory up to the space did exist. Fortunately so did a backup.

    Cleaned a secondary drive mounted at the same point without noticing I was on the wrong SSH terminal tab, at least twice.

    "Abolish our criminal government" by supporting a known member of the establishment with a history of fraud and infidelity. I don't know what can go wrong.

    But then again it's a two party system there. So they really don't have a way out and it might seem like the only one.

    Are you implying that Trump believers with faith deep enough to buy the stock regularly (eg they're not an oligarch/enterprise doing it to bribe Trump) is thinking this logically?

    People either vote for him for other reasons (tax cuts for the rich, conservatism, fear for the border or racism) or are deep enough into a cult to disregard anything.

    Flying out of the window.

    If you don't travel in Boeing you have no reason for existence. Your lack of support for Boeing shareholders is appalling. The company shareholder has sent an expert to perform corrective action. The expert is known for his competence due to solving other major problems like John Barnett.

    Remember, we all should work for the best the quarterly return and please our masters.
