Blatantly incorrect. They jumped on the sword to protect a legal precedent concerning emulation.

If the courts had ruled in favor of Nintendo, guess what? That means ALL emulators are on the chopping block. All of them. They knew.

Once you have case history to back you up, it becomes a domino effect.

This has absolutely nothing to do with cowardice.

Does he honestly believe that an single browser company can take down google by checks notes LOSING 85% of their resources?

Gonna guess the poster is very young

You're responding almost a month later again. Get a better app.

And yes. That is your stance. You said a bunch of things you don't like. None of which are objective truths, just opinions.

This is beyond dumb and I'm not responding anymore. Touch grass.

Yes it was. Gold star for you.

I must be his #1 fan because reasons.

Have an ice cream cone or something man. It'll help that attitude.

It's almost like he had the self awareness to change his mind when presented with compelling, new information.

It's what mature adults do

If you think the only way any adult can change their mind is if they're forced to, it speaks more of you than them.

Cigarette butts really anger me. It's a sign of entitlement that I hate. The person knows it's smelly and disgusting, so they get it as far away from their person or car without a second thought.

I can be judgemental about it because I smoked for over 20 years. I kept a ziplock bag on me (kind of like you would for dog poop when walking your dog) and would keep em in there until I could find a trash can. The ashtray in my car was also used instead of throwing them out the window.

Now that I've quit the habit, I notice it even more. It's awful. My father and mother in law throw their butts on our lawn literally every time they come over, even though they are fully aware that we don't smoke. When I put a coffee can on the front porch and let them know that's where they should throw them, they looked at ME like I was the rude one.

Judge em hard. Cigarette smokers have very little space for other people in their world.

You're responding to a comment from a month ago.

Style and continuity in Star Trek has been varied ever since the original movies and TNG.

If you want to hate something, fine. You do you. Waste time and energy being angry about a fictional franchise and move on with your life.

But don't think that your stance of "I don't like it" holds any weight to the people that do.

There's a documentary for free on YouTube. It's good.

Only because I turned 18. But it was nice, nonetheless.

I'm in my 40s, now. I still have nightmares about getting out back into a center. But I also have a strong sense of justice and sometimes compassion for strangers due to my time in those places.

Seeing people my age put their OWN kids into those places and lost me a friendship, recently. I see nothing good coming from those places

I've lived in multiple "troubled teen" centers. You are 100% correct.

I don't think most NuTrek is utter crap. Some is written for me, some isn't.

SNW and Lower Decks are some of my favorite Trek.

Continuity doesn't matter too much to me, just how the shows make me feel. TOS threw continuity out the window within the first few episodes when they introduced time travel.

Also, if you expect someone to be the same person, fictional or not, 30 years later into their life, you haven't lived long enough. The person who is the same human they were twenty years ago, is someone who has wasted twenty years of their life.

Times change. The new shows have brought in a lot of new fans. That's not a bad thing. Maybe instead of getting angry that new stuff isn't made with your tastes in mind, watch something you enjoy instead.
