  • Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN

  • Well, I agree that US companies do get fined a lot in the old world... The question is, is it because they break the law all the time or because of some sort of conspiracy?

    According to Ockham razor, the first should be considered first, then, if disproved, the second can be considered.

  • We could see that 😂

    And Republican I suppose ?

    If someone from the US break a law in a foreign country, why shouldn't it be prosecuted ?

  • With the current state of the US, even the most ridiculous comment has to be taken seriously.

  • Ah, the good old strawman. Demonize your opponent to try to get the "upper hand".

    I'm well aware how the US sanctions affect the population and what is its objective. I condemn them as much as you do. But you seem to be blind on one very important thing: how it affect the population VS how it affects the elites.

    The elites of the regime lives good lives, barely affected by the sanctions (other than not being able to go to most westerns countries). Spending billions into missiles they spend without much result (so much that even a missed impact on Israel soil make the whole west headlines). To what gain? Meanwhile you got a population that tries to live, some just survive considering the little they got. I won't say they are worst than the US at taking care of the general population well-being, but they sure aren't much better.

    You got in both cases powerful leaders doing every evils to stay in power, even knowingly helping their adversary in order to keep them breathing (Bibi and the Hamas), and keep the fear of the other alive.

    All I wish for the Iranian people is a life free, without both mollahs and outsides diktats. You won't get that from the mollah. I'd doubt you'll get that from the US either, or any imperialist power (Russia, China). But if the Iranians people are as resilient as they were under the US sanctions and the mollah regime, I believe they can do it.

  • When the seige is broken, then Iranians will have the safety they need to actually prosecute the revolution they need for self-determination.

    Because you think that the Mollahs will stop using tanks and machine guns on protesters because the sanctions would be lifted? No, they will use that to reinforce themselves with more weapons, new technologies, and be an even bigger threat for the whole region.

  • Well, they are already getting brutally suppressed, what difference would it make? There are no chance of regime change right now, so batter take a chance for improvement than wait like a good sacrificial lamb for better days that will never happen as long as the mollah are in power.

  • I'm not saying it is not credible, just that if a regime change is really what the Iranian people wish, having the support of an evil country doesn't change their legitimate aspirations.Unfortunately this is impossible to know with the current regime, so the only solution is to topple it and hope for the best. But ultimately the Iranian people have to be the ones to choose, not the mollahs, not the US, not Israel.

  • Thank you for providing a reliable source.

    So yeah, that tweet is quite the smoking gun about Mossad being now involved with the protest (which isn't surprising, sabotage is part of any external intelligence toolset).Now to say that everything is because of them/the CIA, and not because of the systemic corruption of the Iranian regime, I find it quite far fetched, and quite dishonest toward the Iranian manifestants who do have legitimate matters to protest about (and aren't foreign agents).

    I'd tell Mossad to go fuck themselves, and let the Iranian people do their revolution however they see fit, but on the other hand, there is so much difference in the regime weaponry compared to the manifestants ones, I'd consider Mossad involvement, if it make the protest more likely to succeed, a necessary evil.

  • Classic CIA I'd say. Wasn't the first time. Probably won't be the last (unfortunately).

    The kidnapping is a fact, and I personally condemn that act. On the other hand, considering his crackdown on the opposition, I don't think he was democratically legitimate. I wish for the Venezuela people to be able to elect someone without being coerced.

    The genocide is too, and I wish our leaders were ready to tell the US to eat shit (I'm an European), but truth is we cannot yet. It will probably take a good decade, but with Donnie and his goons in the US, we are kinda motivated to do so lately.So yeah, the Hammas chosed the worst timing for their attack, and they fucked up their communication badly enough to make them easy target to Israel propaganda. In ant cases, they have to take their share of blame for what followed.

    So as you admit yourself having ne proof whatsoever except a vague feeling the CIA may once again be on the move due to having done destabilization work more than 60 years ago, a possibly doctored tweet, and some casual logical fallacies.

    Where is the "trust me, bro" ?

  • I do know that situation very well since I'm one of those.

    Scoliosis (so constant back pain), and a suspected immunity problem (need more pyl.. blood works to be pinpointed) that make me basically sick most of the year (as an example, I'm already at my sixth flu since last September... Fun times 😅).

  • A screenshot can't be called a proof in this age. Give an archived link from a trustworthy source. Beside, I don't see any date on that screenshot, which is usually seen on tweets, which may mean it was either doctered (well, it was, at least to add the red line), or straight false.

    But let's consider this as valid for a second. Israel and Iran are enemies, of course they have intelligence officers in their enemy population. That's intelligence 101. The same is true the other way, there are probably multiple Iranian cells in Israel, the US, and most NATO countries. But to dismiss any unrest on that given fact is absurd. Sure Israel will capitalise on that because it is in their interest to see a change of regime in Iran, but they can't trigger such uprising from just intelligence cells, or you'd see such protest about everywhere in the world.

  • While true in some backwater countries (like the US), that also illustrate the problems with metal health: you mostly cannot measure it.

    A broken bone can be easily seen, a cancer too (in most cases). But how can we measure that your brain fucks up at a fundamental level? Sure we can see some anomalies (hormonal unbalances, parts that are less active than usual, but other thant that...).

    So the standard response in many case is that it is your problem to take care, often with tons of unwelcome "help" ("can you try to be happy", "try X I saw on tiktok", or similar "advice")... If you are lucky.I saw a friend loose about all her "friend" once she became depressed. She's almost homeless these day, living with her family in a motel she barely can afford despite working full time. I help her the best I can (paid for groceries, phone bill, some of the motel nights when she couldn't), but because of everyone turning on her she blame herself for not being good enough. Which in turn make her depression worse.

    Capitalism made empathy a sin. Anyone not helping paythe shareholder their next yatch is seen as a deadweight only deserving to be left to rot.

  • No, quite the opposite. If sexual pleasure is the only thing going great in a couple, and that the joy of being with each other isn't enough for someone to put a condom, one should probably reconsider if said relationship is still a loving one.

    I'd prefer an asexual relationship with someone I deeply love to a very gratifying sex life.
