    its also a weirdly popular product, meaning its even less likely to end up in the dumpster.

    All of which just further proves how fucking stupid a comment @I_Has_A_Hat made was.

    They may have a hat, but they clearly don’t have anything that matters underneath it.

    Theres been a couple games that had this issue.

    I know Myth 2 had it if you installed it into the wrong directory or something.

    There was some not-mainstream MMO that had the issue too at one point.

    but I cant remember the name of the xcom knockoff that had it.

    and I cant find anything about it cause I keep finding 5000 pages of results about recovering uninstalled games.

    I wish I still had options to install updates or not.

    Cause sometimes I like to fuck around with silly bugs and exploits in your old solo games, or because some amazing mod only worked on X version and not Y version. which is not something you can do anymore because you are only allowed to have the most recent version or else.

    Yep.

    Your standard web browser has to many privacy protections for you and your data.

    Its why they want to push you to an app, that asks for WAY to many permissions to do what it needs to do. Cause it doesnt need that access to function. It needs that access to monitize you. Cause they make more off stealing your information, than they do off you being a customer, Which is why you get so many discounts for using apps.

    I dont know where this person got their numbers, but the prices are WAAAAAAYYYYY off.

    I had a relative need an Ambulance ride next year. less than 1/4th a mile to the hospital. the cost was over 5000 dollars.

    last time I went to the emergency room, I got nothing but a chewable asprin, a bag of saline, a basic blood test and chest xrays and it was almost 40 grand… and that was with the “filthy uninsured peasant” discount, which I know thats what the charts focused on, but its ridiculous how much more expensive it is with insurance, even if you dont see the cost to your wallet.
