Anyone who has worked in retail will tell you this is absolutely, concretely, and vehemently something corporate would expect their employees to actually say to customers, so don't go giving them any ideas...

The irony of this article being able to quote those comments for us, the humble readers, while the fucking movie studios can't do the same in a court of law is just... so delicious.

Hmmmm seems suspicious when the “healer” rolls up to a fight dressed in FULL PLATE ARMOR with a mace the size of your head, and a shield blessed with the righteous wrath of the Gods themselves, idk bros maybe this healer isn’t just for healing lol

Your sentiment is right, but your logic falls short. How would you describe what Israel is doing to Palestinian civilians, and also does that mean if a nation invaded another sovereign nation, they can say they’re not military, they’re civilians and therefore you cannot resist? Help me understand your perspective.

How much you wanna bet their parents say the same type of “this generation” things to them?

“In years past, her mother would have led their fleet across the plains, seeking out the safe places to drink, locations which are passed through generational knowledge from parent to child. Now, her time has come to set out to begin a fleet of her very own.”

I am absolutely terrible at remembering people’s names, even mere seconds after meeting them and introducing ourselves

But I most certainly remember their dog’s name and will refer to them as “dog-name’s human.”

Well, yeah, everyone else is, too. They’re not gonna let Siri become any more woefully outmatched than it already is, so it’s either adapt or die. Microsoft killed off Cortana recently in favor of their AI program.

This is just self-maintenance, basically.

I feel like we are all of the same opinions on this but somehow missing each other lol. Very obviously, Google has had a massive influence on technology and the internet as a whole. As you stated, there have been plenty of abuses of that power in the past, most commonly noted with privacy concerns and data collection. Hence, how I arrived at my original position with regards to Brave as a browser.

Per their wiki article, “Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, mainly developed and maintained by Google.” Source, i suppose

I know they’re different. I know it’s FOSS. I also know I do not believe Google is being altruistic and I do not have the expertise nor time to audit the code myself. I am not the subject matter expert here, but I know I’ve seen what Google can do and that certainly biases my opinion. I don’t believe any corporation that large is genuinely concerned about anything but capital acquisition.
