but by that point, whoever the inheritors of the account were have probably been paying money and adding new games to it for decades. why would valve destroy their relationship with that customer just because they might still technically have access to some hundred year old games that either don't even run on modern systems, or might even be public domain by that point?

T2 is definitely the best terminator film, but you're missing out if you discount all the sequels. Dark Fate at least is pretty darn good, and it's basically a direct sequel to T2, so you don't have to watch all the films in between.

even if they were breaking tos (and i don't think it sounds quite so cut and dry), shouldn't the response be to notify them and allow them to fix it, or just terminate the account? demanding a ton of money to make the problem seems a skeevy way of handling it on cloudflare's part.

unfair comparison. both of these guys are far better public speakers than trump.

is there a non sexist/queerphobic meaning for that term? i would assume the bigotry is the whole point.

they would not, and the story would get picked up by every overly credulous fox news pundit and be used to further right wing outrage against trans people.

it might get you a small fixer upper in my home town.

i don't want to go to all that effort. if you feel like it, could you describe it?

i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.

that doesn't sound like a technocracy or an oligarchy of any kind. that just sounds like direct democracy by lots, unless i am misunderstanding you.

i guess, but only as much as any other oligarchy. you can have democracy where the only people who can vote are people with doctorates in stem fields, or who're land owning white men, or who have their patents of nobility, or who have at least a million USD in their bank account. but really it's not particularly in keeping with the ideal that people are usually talking about when they say 'democracy'.
