I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.

Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don't want? Especially if there's alternatives that cost the same and ... don't do that.

Never liked that argument. It's essentially "Why, don't you like immigration, dummy? Don't you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?"

I'm not saying it isn't true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.

Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

I mean, he's probably gonna say "Yeah, sure, whatever" to most things the crazy people around him propose.

In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.

I've always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn't an accurate descriptor, and a "pro-life protest", or a "pro-life bill" seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.

Anti-choice is good too.

Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as as a dev, sometimes in rather 'fancy' office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

They're pretty easy to not engage with, and for me they felt less awkward than almost any other video game sex scene.

People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.

Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn't very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.

Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.

Apologies for being slightly tasteless, but - investigators reportedly heard food had allegedly been handled by an individual known to be 'full of shit' in a recent incident.
