There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.

But that costs $ and Microsoft doesn’t make money by spending it when they absolutely don’t have to.

Here are the lines from the guy I replied to:

That sounds like censorship to me (and thus, a bad thing)

And…

but I am firmly against any form of censorship.

Allowing any censorship would be a bad thing, according to that poster, so I provided a reason why some censorship may be desired.

Your argument is not on censorship yes or no, but on how far. That’s a different discussion.

Goatse, tubgirl, meatspin, or the BME pain olympics are not exactly hallmarks of quality communication and restricting that type of content is valid for minors. It’s not censorship to try to avoid desensitizing kids too early. Sometimes, people need experience before they can see the horrors.

Nuclear and renewables are for different purposes and are complementary. Taking an all-or-nothing approach to energy will drastically delay net-zero generation.

Good luck not buying soap, toothpaste, or shampoo. Palm oil is used in damn near everything today since it’s the most oil/acre around today.

18-22 before tax per ticket imax, 16 basic matinee. Doesn’t make a diff. it’s still expensive as all fuck, and the mouse has a 75% take thanks to them strong-arming theater chains.

Maybe if Disney lowered their take they could push more tickets and give theaters more room to breathe, but here we are.

Yep. A fool and their money are soon parted. Get her to buy you the drink if she’s that interested!

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that one.

Just fly Airbus. Or Embraer. Or Bombardier. It’s still safer than driving by far.

You’d think participating in the propaganda campaign for the Iraq war and the Valery Plame incident would’ve nailed their coffin shut, but here we are today, with those same assholes doing what they do best.

I’d make the argument that slavery provides a higher quantity of workers, but since it’s against the workers’ wills, it is not as efficient (units of work per unit of time).

Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.

You can’t violence your way into efficient human labor without repealing the 13th Amendment.

Let’s see if the SCOTUS says that the slavery clause only applies to individual people that congress specifically designates as free, a la the wholly made up rules on the insurrection clause of the 14th amendment.
