And the great thing about this whole thing, is you quickly find a new host and you carry on. Unlike Reddit, where you are instantly fucked if you run into a constantly offended power mod

Honestly with the quality a lot of games are released with, and the state they often are in, considering also the ludicrous costs of purchase (and you don’t actually own >90% of these purchases), for me it’s completely ethical. In that quite a lot of these people have lost the plot, we are in arguably late stage capitalism, and it’s almost a necessity anymore to test things before purchase. Don’t part with your hard earned money before you know for a fact what you are purchasing.
My two cents.
Smartphones weren’t really all that popular until 2007, and none of the ones before the iPhone 3G or like the Blackberry’s could really run Facebook all that well. The iPhone never really blew up to the level it’s at now until the 4 arguably, which didn’t come out until 2010 or 2011 (think it was 2010). Facebook had already been pretty infected before then.

It’s been corporate the entire time. The rise of the www literally fueled a global economic bubble.
I had a geocities page all about skateboarding. I’d give you the url, but I neither remember it, nor doubt your phone is wide enough for a url that long
Nope. You got the time period right, but I would like to posit it’s when they started letting our Parents, drunk uncles and dumb ass aunties on Facebook.
The problem always has, and always will be, Facebook.
The only thing I wish I could deny is the 40+ part

Why, are your feelings so hurt that you can’t create and form logical thoughts for yourself, but instead need to be guided by internet rage?
Do I like or agree with JK Rowling and her views? No. Do I think her work on Harry Potter had an absolutely large positive contribution to literacy? Undoubtably so.
Sometimes the people who create and leave the largest legacies and contributions to society, are also people with unpopular opinions and viewpoints. Again I’m not defending or trying to justify this woman’s viewpoints, but I also can understand the fine nuance that learning from and reading Mein Kampf doesn’t automatically make someone a Nazi.
If you get enjoyment out of Harry Potter, knock yourself out. It makes you no less of a person, and OP so much less of a person for trying to make you feel that way.
Sorry you can’t offer a contribution, and instead feel the need to act like an absolute child.

I’m sorry for completely trashing the next month of your life, but I’m not sorry because it’s really fucking good. It has a bit of a slow start but just gets better and better and better.

Halt and Catch Fire is so slept on, it’s not funny. It’s in my personal top 10.

It’s like VCRs now though, in that I don’t think I have an actual player or a disk drive in any of my computers anymore. I think some of them would work in my PlayStation, but I also have Spotify and IPTV, so in the time it took me to write this comment, I’d have it called up.
For the record though, I know for a fact they still largely work. I did verify that a few years ago, when my wife tried to throw them out.
It’s definitely an alternative thing to volunteer your time on. I’m not throwing shade at any decent mods, but they are far and few between and it doesn’t take much imagination to see the sort of people and the sort of personalities that are going to be attracted to such a thing. Like who the fuck normal, is going to volunteer their time, for a billion dollar corporation? No one normal is the answer, Alex.
