No harm in trying again.

I saw a screenshot of someone getting a refund with 90 something hours. Worth a try and see if they give it to you. Better then being stuck with a purchase you can’t/won’t use.

The standard rules are no refunds for games played more than 2 hrs. The first time you ask for a refund it’s handled by an automated system. Ask for a refund again, and an actual staff member will review. So just try again.

Is that not just 2.4 trillion?

Gotta slap the knee and say “well, I spose…”

I think it’s just human nature to get enjoyment at making other people upset. It comes from a lack of empathy, understanding, and perspective.

When I was young, my cousin and I would hop into randomly chosen public chatrooms on MSN, or Yahoo, and just start typing stupid messages. We’d spam the chat with constans messages of “booger” or “poopy fart” and watch people get annoyed with us. Sometimes we’d pick a random message from someone and call them out telling them “hey {username}, shut up stupid.” The whole chatroom would get mad and tell us to leave, or to stop, and that made us keep doing it more. For a good half hour to 45 min, the entire chatroom was having a bad time except us, who were laughing out heads off at how mad they got and how compeley powerless they were to stop us.

We were also 10.

We haven’t experienced how annoying and frustrating that actually is. We didn’t understand or even care just how disruptive we were being, nor did we care about our contribution to making the space a bad space to be in. We, as children, didn’t have the empathy, compassion, or perspective of experience to care about that, and were just reveling in the attention and the power to force a group of strangers to focus on us and not what they originally wanted to.

Some people eventually develop empathy, self awareness, gain perspective on the world, or otherwise come to understand how immature these acts areof getting joy at being annoying, and stop. Other people don’t. The internet is home to people in all different stages of their life’s journey, and a lot of them haven’t reached that point yet.

Some troll because they’re immature. Some do it because they actively dislike a community and pettily get joy at annoying them. Some people just like the attention. People are complicated and weird, and often hard to understand. There is just one thing that will always be true:

As long as people exists, so too will trolls.

I did it once, to prove a point.

Wow this is an actually interesting question. At first it kinda of seems ridiculous that a provider of age restricted content put the onus of said age verification onto a completed unrelated company. To say the manufacturers of devices capable of going online are the ones responsible for verifying the age of the user seems backwards, and a little unfair to the makers of the devices.

But on the other hand, they make a good point that if one company is collecting info on users to verify if they are legally old enough to view the content, and if they are required to get legal documentation to prove it, That could be a security concern. If the site collects that information from it’s users and their network gets compromised, the hacker obtains the legal documents of all of its users. However if you have your device get a certification of your age and be able to pass that cert to a site, and a hacker compromised your device, they would only get the information of that one user. In this way it would act like getting a drink wristband at a concert or large event. Instead of having to show your ID to a bunch of different people, you show it to one, and everyone else just sees that you’ve been verified of legal age without needing to see the actual ID.

On the other other hand, since personal devices are fully in the hands of the users, it would be pretty safe to assume that users will be able to trick the device into believing they are of legal age with relative ease, so it’s effectiveness might not be that great.

Idk man, this is kinda interesting.

It works on Drow rules. It’s ok if everyone knows you did it, but only if it can’t be proven with hard evidence. But if you get caught or it can be proven, you get cast out… Unless you have money enough to not.

TikTok just starts showing a lot of Bill Cosby shorts for some reason.

Let’s be fair here. While that is the point of the Scott and Ramona story, the movie didn’t really put a lot of effort into portraying that. The comics went a little more deeply into that dynamic and fleshing out the relationship, it was still pretty much the background against the character personality showcasing, and over the top dramatic fights. The movie really did nail the vibe and the characters but the whole “I think I learned something” and the end of the movie really downplays the “lesson” of the whole plot. So much so that I don’t think Scott himself even fully understood the actual lesson he just learned. Just that what he was doing was wrong, and needed to change, but not why and what exactly it was he needed to change.

Great movie for sure, even better comic series, but a deep complex plot it isn’t.

I don’t even want to know what the crossover of Helldivers 2 and Cocomelon would be.

Ugh I just thought of it:

Democracy. Democracy. It’s time to spread democracy.

Yes, yes, yes, I like to spread democracy.

Good. Good. Democracy’s good for you.

Yes, yes, yes, I like it woo.

1st fork on the left - I have 1

4th fork from the left - I have 1, this is my favorite fork

Middle fork- I have a handful

2nd to last fork on the right - I have a handful, decent forks.

Not pictured - that piece of garbage that I have no idea where it came from, that’s somehow simultaneously too small to fit in with the other big forks, and too big to fit in with the small forks. And to top it off, its shape makes it terrible at twirling spaghetti. I seriously don’t know why I still have that piece of junk.

What the heck am I looking at? Spaghetti and peas?

Which is exactly why I can’t learn foreign languages. No amount of brute force will make my vocab any better. I can’t remember shit. If I could, this comment would be much more witty and funny.

What are you on about?

Honestly surprised that Tesla allowed him to modify his car without charging him a $30,000 fine or something.

He did have that ‘need to be the center of attention’ attitude that I didn’t like. I ignored it because everyone in the group seemed to just accept it. I guess that was the problem.
