It’s like the insult: “Try hard.” Umm, yeah, why would I not try hard?

The only times I hear of tankies is from how annoying they are in online forums, their only power being in their subreddits and lemmy instances. The only references to Marxists are from idiots repeating MAGA talking points.

Looks like “evil”

Well yeah, implementation may vary with dictators.

It’s because socialism does not stand up to outside pressures. It always turns towards benevolent totalitarianism as a method of defending itself from bad actors.

Quantum computing got us the Donald Biden superposition

Once I got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for my birthday, I just so happened to do something (don’t remember what) to get grounded from TV/Nintendo for a month. I read that manual so many times over the next month. Not sure I ever actually beat that game.

I think the distinction comes in how you get there.

I once spent a night on vacation copying all the floppy disks for Project Chicago (alpha of Win 95). It was like 50 disks.

Piracy having to occur in person was a short lived thing. Though even at that time BBSs were a thing, but I can’t imagine how long that would have taken to download.
