Probably because the US empire had deteriorated enough by that point that revoking passports for exposing the blatant lies and crimes of our government was on the table by then. Of…

The universe itself, if bounded, might be a hypersphere.

If you're referring to the increased scroll speed with two fingers issue, that was patched within the last year.

They've yet to top Civ4 but third time's a charm I guess.

>It's the worst of both words. And it's quickly becoming the status quo. They really don't ever let a disaster go to waste, do they?

If you're required to RTO and doing it you probably aren't in a position to "insist" on jack shit.

One of the earlier examples of enshittification, before the process had been smoothed out and best practices established.

> I find it hard to just say “none of this means anything, it’s just a hallucination”. I don't think that's the claim being made. FWIW I've done psychedelics as well, and I've had …

I mean people have deja vu which is literally your brain misinterpreting a currently-happening experience as a memory. Medical literature is filled with tons of quirks of human per…

> Parent poster is being unnecessarily smug and dismissive Can you elaborate? I tried to keep a neutral tone.

I don't know about "religiously" but did you have a better idea? Am I supposed to believe suppositions as though they are fact, for literally no reason?
