Clbull,

I feel like it’s only a matter of time until we get a data breach so monumental that it sinks one of the big tech giants.

Like… Something that could sink Google, Microsoft or Meta.

Clbull,

In the UK if the goods were over £100 and you paid via credit card, you could raise a Section 75 claim with the card issuer under the Consumer Credit Act.

I used to work for a large train operating company and the sheer number of people contacting us for historic departure info to support a Section 75 claim because the news came out that someone got a 50% refund on their season ticket was astronomical.

Alternatively… Small Claims Court. Amazon will drag you through the coals if you go the chargeback route.

Clbull,

I’ve had a lot of shitty experiences with their customer service lately. They were at least somewhat decent a few years back.

Clbull,

My only gripe with them is that if I spend any amount of time outdoors, even if it’s not actually sunny, my glasses quickly turn to shades.

Clbull,

There are 5 rules

Clbull,

Or if you’re Dantes, “in-game, of course”

Clbull,

We have our own agencies.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) is our equivalent to the FBI.

Security Service (a.k.a. MI5) is our equivalent to the NSA.

Secret Intelligence Service (a.k.a. MI6) is our equivalent to the CIA.

Clbull,

I see Robotnik as an entirely separate character to Eggman. The AOSTH/Mean Bean Machine character was a bumbling idiot, and Robotnik Prime from SATAM/Archie Comics was a brutal overlord.

Clbull,

The Sonic fandom continues to amaze me. For every mountain of lewd fan art and crappy original characters created by fans, you get an incredible fangame that absolutely trumps official efforts from Sega themselves.

Pulling off a kart racer in the Legacy DOOM engine of all things is a seriously impressive feat.

Clbull,

MapleStory’s problems aren’t just the predatory MTX shit, which got so bad that they actually released a Reboot server that disabled a lot of this stuff, but just overall content bloat.

On top of the 5 core explorer classes (Magician, Thief, Warrior, Bowman and Pirate), there are Cygnus Knights versions of these classes, and 29 overpowered hero classes that are mostly based on the 5 aforementioned class groups

Big Bang streamlined the game excessively and ruined the overall flow of Victoria Island, making it vastly more linear. It also made Ossyria much higher levelled. Whereas for example you could probably survive in Aqua Road as a level 35, it now has a level 80 requirement. One of my characters is stuck near Ariant because they changed the second zone to be a 120 zone.

Clbull,

As much as I dislike iBleeedBullshit and AssholeTheTurtle, I can respect the fact that they pissed off Spez enough to nuke their accounts from orbit.

Clbull,

Homebrew seems to be fair game.

Clbull,

I was told all throughout my teenage years by family that I was labelled and that I’m not actually autistic. This was despite me being officially diagnosed with Asperger’s at 7.

It was when people started immediately picking it out that I stopped hiding it.

Apple Removes WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram, and Signal from China App Store, says it complied with orders from the Chinese government (arstechnica.com)

Apple said it complied with orders from the Chinese government to remove the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China. Apple also removed Telegram and Signal from China....

Clbull,

TIL that WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram and Signal were on the Chinese App Store.

Clbull,

Saw Panic! At The Disco in 2012 after they released their third album. They’re one of the few groups that borderline sound better live.

They also did a cover of I Believe In A Thing Called Love which I wish they’d release as an actual single. Kinda sucks that Bohemian Rhapsody got that treatment years later but this didn’t.

Clbull,

There’s a kid I know from a few karaoke nights whose go-to song is Beggin. Now it makes more sense why he does that song a bit differently (the first “Beggin” in the chorus he doesn’t sing.)

I only grew up with the Madcon version and I didn’t know until today that it was a cover.

I also heard a local singer do a really good acoustic cover of that song, where he actually does the rap parts.

Clbull,

I think it depends on the person, what they’ve done, if they’ve been convicted and individual tolerance.

Many people shrug when they learn that John Lennon was an abusive asshole who used to beat his wife. Many more wilfully let Chris Brown back into the industry after how badly he beat the shit out of Rihanna. Even artists like Michael Jackson and R Kelly managed to avoid child molestation accusations for years, and likewise more people rushed to cancel 6ix9ine for snitching on the Nine Trey Gangsters than they did when he was convicted of doing inappropriate sexual things to a 13 year old girl and somehow only landing probation.

Then you have truly bad cases like Ian Watkins, former leader singer of LostProphets. The band had effectively been disavowed from the moment of his arrest.

Clbull,

Dwayne Johnson has definitely improved as an actor. I thought he was absolutely shit in The Mummy Returns but great in the more recent Jumanji reboots.
