"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

I'm super late but in the conversation with DSP the topic of if developers will go out of their way to help a whale, re Phil's alleged WWE Champs account's name being changed despite that not being a feature the game offers, and the answer is yes, they will definitely do that. I know a guy who has literally everything in one game and he has the personal cell number of one of the devs in case there's ever a problem with his account, and the game in question is way cheaper than WWE Champions, like maybe $5000 for everything, forget the $50k+ that's alleged to have been spent on the WWE account. No forms to fill out and submit, no waiting on hold, he can just call or text an actual human being with the power to press a button to give him whatever he needs
 
Does that mean that I can sue you for the crippling balldo news addiction, I’ve been exposed to through the front page?
If you were unexpectedly exposed to THE BALLDO™ you may be entitled to compensation! Write DEWEY, DICKEM, and HOWE today for your buck fifty!
 
It's just the latest evolution of incendiary drone drops.
Fighting positions surrounded by trash (Russian soldiers live in filth and squalor) make for great targets for weapons like this and nobody really feels all that bad for them, on account of them treating everybody poorly.

three people have left voice mail for me after the episode ended but nobody had the audacity to call during the stream

I don't tend to watch these streams live so I can't ask a question then, but watching the August 13th episode, one with the SSN leaks, your take was "If you're an American, you're fucked LMAO". Is there a more serious answer as to what you can do about it, or is being an American just pure suffering? If every single American citizen's most personal info was all indeed was just leaked in full, then this is going to make identity scammers a nightmare to deal with going forward.

Pass European-style privacy laws that makes data brokering illegal. But the governments actively sell your data in the US. The DMV will literally sell your vehicle information to marketers. Data brokering is a huge industry in the US. The biggest tech companies all do it. It won't happen. They'll just keep making cute little carveouts for federal employees like they already do. Only judges and congress are illegal to databroker.
 
Here is the clip of Anita yelling at Sargon. But is it widely agreed that she must have confused him with Thunderfoot because he is the one with the playlist dedicated to hating hating Anita.
The Ralph thing definitely happened too. The only link to the original video was in the Brianna Wu thread from 2016 but it was taken down and I think it may be lost to time. I did find an old upload on youtube but it isn't complete and has some music at the start.


Ralph posted a picture of Brianna while sitting in a panel. You know right when he posts it because he dolphin laughs right after he does it. The first time I watched the video I didn't know who Ralph was and just thought Brianna Wu throwing a tantrum was funny. Years later it caught my eye and the second I heard that laugh I knew, "Wait! That's Ralph!"
