  • “What was really meant was…” is how they turned the second amendment, clearly about forming a militia for national defense, into being about personal self defense.

    A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    The first half I made bold is what the second half is based on. It is about having an armed society so it can be a well regulated militia. Now those same words just mean people get to have guns for whatever reason they want and not because they are part of a militia.

    In this case, they are pretending that “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means something completely fictional based on what they want it to mean blatantly contradicting over a century of clear reinforcement of what it literally means.


  • I also like the narratives of continuous game support, easy updates, being able to install games any number of times forever, making a fantastic handheld gaming device that can be hooked up to a TV that is easy to update and modify, convenient ways to communicate and play with friends, reviews, and basically everything except for the forums (which should be moderated by the game publishers).

    The only complaints I recall people making about steam are losing their account because they forgot their password and valve being thorough in not just giving it to someone or that easy streaming killed physical games. To be honest, the first sucks but isn’t valve’s fault and the second is just convenience and reliability being more attractive than physical media. I have played and have had continuous access to far more games since steam than prior because I don’t have to manage physical media and the benefits outweigh the negatives of not really owning the games. Everything is a tradeoff, and I chose to get rid of old consoles because they were too much work compared to using online games services like steam.

    I also did use several of the other ones in the meme and dropped them because they offered only downloading games and weren’t even very good at that.
