People throw around the word too much, there are actual Nazis around and we need to reserve the term just for their special brand of evil. Otherwise the phrase gets so watered down as to essentially become meaningless.

Otherwise they are just rightwing dipshits.

I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

Even if I buy a game on Steam I don't technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

But some games literally don't have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.

Attacking Poland would be a stupid thing to do even if Poland wasn't a member of NATO.

The Russians can barely fight a war on one front, opening a second front would be insanely stupid.

Poland has all the same weapons Ukraine has, plus an air force capable of hitting the broad side of the barn.

What am I saying of course they're going to do it. This is the country that thinks that orbitally dropping unguided bombs constitutes an effective military strategy.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It's just an instance thing.

They say they might and they say that they will email you before they do.

About them deleting your games library because I can't see any information on that anywhere.

If you read the page link to it doesn't say anywhere that they will delete your old game. OP is being disingenuous.

This is such a non issue.

Literally from the link that was posted

We may also close long-term inactive accounts to maintain our database. You will be notified by email if we begin the process of closing your inactive account.

If your account was flagged as inactive and you would like to keep using it, you can cancel the closure of your Ubisoft account.

Did you even read it.

They are not closing your account randomly they're closing old accounts as is required by law, you are wand that this will occur and given time to log in and prevent it from happening.

And there isn't anywhere on that page where they say they will delete your old game so I don't know why that bit comes from.

In that they are present at all.

Is that a reference to something? I don't see anyone gatekeeping anything against anyone.

What are you on about?

Also where does Spiderman come into it?

I've dived about 5 times just by going to rental places and on guided tours.

It's not hard to get numbers up. Besides to be certified (as in you can go diving yourself) you have to have done in certain number of hours not a certain number of sessions.

The fact he doesn't claim to be certified, or working towards certification makes me think that perhaps he doesn't actually know what he's talking about.

When I was a kid if this happened to me I would also be afraid to get on the bus. All the buses going to other places would conveniently be perfectly fine though. Just the school bus would be a problem.

The risk is Russia also has nukes and we don't 100% know that the oligarchs haven't stolen all of the uranium cores.
