So your proof someone was tricked/scammed/defrauded is that they spent more money on something than you would?

They key point you seem intent on avoiding is that you have not shown a single example of someone actually being tricked/scammed/defrauded. Someone buying a thing that is arbitrarily priced well outside of it’s practical value or actual cost is not a scam, it’s literally the definition of a luxury good. Is every person who buys a diamond getting scammed, in your mind? What about those $1000 shoes people buy as an “investment”? Were they scammed in your imagination?

First, to set the record straight: look up the definition of scam

If the definition of scam is defrauding someone, I changed nothing about your word choice.

Yes, your neighbor is an asshole

Oof guy if you ever have to use the phrase “I…rely on facts and logic” with a passive aggressive smilie on the end you’ve already lost. I don’t even think there was an argument, but you still lost.

Sure in 10 years

I’m not fixated on the word choice. You just changed it to trick but haven’t in any way proven that game companies are “tricking” or “defrauding” anyone. You’re just making an empty claim. Explain how spending money on a character skin is a trick. Or buying DLC isn’t getting you what you paid for. As far as I can tell you haven’t even established that anything they are doing is even “dishonest” which I think is a much much lower bar. You literally have not a god damned thing to back up your pov.

Methinks you might protest too much about other people being nazis. You seem well, well versed in where nazis hang out and what reading nazis like to do. I hope you’re not secretly a nazi hiding out in lemmygrad.

If it’s not clear cause youre not the sharpest, I’m saying you’re just another nazi.

Also that linked page appears to have zero sources. I see some Facebook links and a dead link to state.gov, maybe it worked back in the 90s when they built the site. I’ll happily be corrected but I see nada.

Again with the moving goal posts.

What is? That humans are fallible?

Sealioning: a word people misuse when they are annoyed in an internet conversation.

Go ahead, look up the definition and break down what I said by that definition. I look forward to it.

Especially since you clearly aren’t able to argue the case in front of you.

Why is what you’re saying about Linux any different from what I’m saying about windows? Once you get to network it’s straightforward and a non issue.

Why is this supposed to be funny? Can someone explain the joke?

To get to a working state you’re very likely to be fine. They’re all using Intel wifi and some elan touchpad, so the basics work well enough to bootstrap up to your vendors website.

So you’re moving goalposts from the original claim “Carter oversaw east Timor” to “maybe someone in the CIA should have been prosecuted” and “the military industrial complex is bad”?

Big shift if true.

A shift from actually new information to “turns out the bad guys are bad, guys”

I know you want to imagine something darker, but once you get your first job you’ll realize how very very very very easy it is for simple things to slip through the cracks, let alone complex things like a conflict on the other side of the planet from you in a region your country hasn’t traditionally cared about.

(1) don’t think for a second Im treating a geocities site as a real source

(2) Carter’s name is not on that page. I saw “oversaw” as the claim. If he oversaw, his name goes on the page. His name is not on the page. Ex: Kissinger is on the page, and is a war criminal and he should rot in hell.

No?

Edit: oh you’re a dot ml, that’s why you’re unnecessarily hostile. Please don’t talk to me.

So you agree it’s not fraud?
