So a leftist makes a stupid comment that clearly demonstrates their lack of awareness of the difference between public and private spending.

I point out their childish stupidity.

And so you’re saying they don’t care about being wrong… which to me makes “leftists” sound a whole lot like MAGA.

I’m not going to buy into this “post-truth” bullshit the far right and left want to impose on smart people.

Then can you explain how your response makes any sense at all?

Yes? The reason shit you don’t like happens is because you refuse to a participate, you fucking dunce.

Or you could try to make ACTUAL change, instead of throwing temper tantrums like a child and encouraging others to get themselves in legal trouble that would affect the rest of their lives.

How many have you destroyed? Let me guess. Zero. Another internet tough guy who others to take the hit.

The porn industry makes like three times as much money as Hollywood. They were right.

Cell phones can do all of those creepy things. Plus, glasses that can record have existed for many years. The only reason people are pissed is because it’s Meta.

If you ever assume I’m wearing recording glasses (I don’t really have an interest) and think you have a right to assault, I will knock your fucking teeth out right in front of your family.

I want to be able to walk around without the expectation that I’m recorded

You should never have ever had that expectation, you are recorded all the time in public. This is a not a new thing and I doubt you ever complained about being caught on countless CCTVs before.

who have a reasonable expectation to privacy.

Not in public, you don’t. You’re not in private, you’re in public. You do not get to walk around outside in public areas and demand privacy. That makes no sense.

My proposed what? Did you respond to the wrong person?

They made him too well in their AI photos.

If you use “incognito” or whatever equivalent and visit reddit.com/user/<yourusername> it’ll show if you’re banned.

Reddit has become absolutely garbage in that respect. You can be banned for literally anything. They don’t even send you a message telling you why anymore. Appeals go into a black hole.

THIS ISN’T VIDEO STREAMING.

For fuck’s sake, what is going on with you people?

Do you have those movies saved on your local machine? Or are you accessing them on a remote server?

People here are supposed to tech literate, goddamn. I’m barely tech literate and I understand the difference between downloading and installing a program on your local machine and accessing streaming video on remote servers.

Sony cannot remove programs from your local machine.

They just remove the right to access it.

They can’t do that, it’s impossible. You are not logging into their server to play the game. You are downloading and installing it on your local machine.

This is NOT like Netflix. How can people be so ignorant about this? Do you not really know how this works? For Netflix, you stream from their servers. That IS NOT what is happening here.

Think about it this way, if you get connected to an AI chatbot instead of a real person, does it feel like the company is giving you their time? Or does it feel like they are giving you nothing?

Compared to insufferable automated phone systems, which have existed for decades and employ exactly no one, they are a vast improvement.

the theft of intellectual property and art to train AI models

Any proof that that actually happened?

You do own it, you own the digital copy. The developer can’t hack your computer and remove it or prevent you from playing it.

Yeah, if you want to hang out with people who turn every instance of non-serious, light teasing into the something it obviously isn’t… but I wouldn’t. Those people are annoying as fuck and looking for any possible excuse to self-righteous douchebags.

Do you have any idea what “punching down” means, whatsoever?

Jesus fucking christ, you relentless blowhards turn everything into something it’s not. It’s a lighthearted joke about food preferences, who fuckin cares, you goddamn drama queens.
