Came to the comments to say this. Love that series. Wish they hadn't moved to that follow-up series Star Force. Wasn't as good, imo.

So... At what point do gamers start sending a message. "Microsoft: why are players cancelling their game pass subscriptions?"

Or does the smackdown happen from the creator side "Microsoft: why doesn't anybody want to make games on our platform anymore?"

They wouldn't pull this kind of shit if there were monetary repercussions. So, why do these bullshit strategies work?

Voting is the minimum. If voting isn't enough (I didn't think it is) then do more. Go knock on doors for the candidate that you like. There are a million ways to participate in democracy. The answer to a flawed system isn't to do less.

These "both choices bad. Better to not vote" people really don't make any kind of sense to me.

Image being unhealthy and saying "it's going to take more than a 20 minute walk once a week to get in shape. Better not even do that then cuz what would be the point?"

So do more, not less.

What's up with the acorns? Saw another meme of "Taylor Swift ending some cop's career" by dropping an acorn from a plane.

Ehhhh careful. That line of thinking could easily turn into "I am the age that I say I am and I don't care that you think Gary is a creepy pedo. My body is 8 years old but I feel like a 40 year old and Gary understands that!"

To your point. Age shouldn't matter beyond that one transition from "legal guardian protects you while your brain finishes development" and "you are now legally an adult and in control (and responsible for) your own actions".

I think this is why the US legal system actually gets this one pretty close to right.

I agree in theory. But then I see people breaking the rules when it doesn't "make sense" (as far as they could see) and then nearly fucking things up. My rule is "if I break this rule and it turns out that I didn't actually have all the important info such that I really should have followed the rule... Well, that'll be on me. So how confident am I that I really do have all the relevant info?"
