I didn’t attempt to derail anything, nor did I make any kind of “ridiculous semantics argument”.

That you don’t understand it continues not to surprise me.

Yeah, it was about what constitutes a refund, which I built upon…

We seriously need to have a long conversation

This you?

I just honestly have no fucking idea what your point is and it’s tiresome.

Skill issue.

Lol you say you want a discussion and then act like a dickhead when someone engages in that discussion.

Nice work.

You did, and that licence comes with plenty of terms that can restrict or revoke your access to that game.

Which shouldn’t be allowed, but it is.

In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to purchase a license to the game at all. You could purchase the game itself by receiving a packaged copy of it along with a copy of the source code.

But something inbetween would be a nice start.

That was my point – I was building off of what you said…

I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.

This is exactly the problem. This should be true, but it isn’t in most cases.

Store’s like GOG get much closer by giving you a DRM free copy. But some would say that even then, if you aren’t allowed to modify and distribute that, you don’t really own the game either.

Hmm, your original response pre-edit was a lot nicer.

I didn’t say I purchased a game, I said I paid for a game.

I also didn’t use the word purchase. You said “paid for a game”, I quoted you as saying you “paid for a game”.

Why are you pretending I misquoted you?

Somebody needs a hug.

The thing is, you never paid for a “game” in the first place. You paid for a license with a whole boatload of conditions.

The thing that needs to be fixed is not refunds, but what “buying” something digital means in the first place.

You will be surprised at how much you can do with very little and very old hardware.

Why not any of the other Matrix clients? I’ve got some friends on Element with some bridges and it’s pretty much perfect.

You never had any points

Wrong.

and lied whenever I brought any up

Also wrong.

avoid answering my question on why they did that

Wow, wrong again. And again. And again.

You lied, even in face of photo evidence

Wrong too.

It’s dishonest, and is why there’s no point in arguing with points you raise because you won’t take any response seriously.

Cute grandstanding.

I’ve answered your question and invited you to respond to that answer several times now. But you’ve just continued to dodge. But sure, you’re the pinnacle of serious, honest debate.

Well you also ignored mine to fixate on which bullets were bolded, so there’s that! Big day!

You know what, you’re so hungry for it, I’ll concede this point. You were right, it should have been “your” not “you’re” those were were the ones that were highlighted.

I’ll put a little trophy right next to your username :)

Shows the bolding plain as day.

Sure does! And the bullet you mentioned about IMF, NATO, etc has no bolding. Even in the source!

Why this, the equivalent of me saying you made a typo, is the hill you want to die on is becoming clearer by the moment. :)

I mean, I already told you, you’re wrong about the bolding. I say you’re lying, you say I’m lying, why keep debating it? It was a throwaway jab.

Unless of course that’s literally the last and final straw you have to grasp at.

So this is really all you have under the surface? Latch on to a throwaway when you can’t argue with the substance?

For the audience: Lemmy World didn’t want to federate with an instance of loud and proud Leftist shitposters, despite them pinky-swearing to play nice while achieving their goal of dismantling western propaganda on the instance and continuing their war on Liberals in the fediverse.

Cowbee says this is because Lemmy World hates Communists, not just communities that are obsessed with their political ideology, shitpost and “dunk” all day, and feel a sense of duty to purge Lemmy World of its evil politics and replace them with their own.

Let’s try this again:

Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance? Could it be that they are manufacturing an archetype of the average Lemmy World user?

Why would Lemmy World admins want to sign up for that? And why do you keep pretending that they just wanted to federate and be chill?

the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc

Literally nothing in that line is bolded. Maybe get your eyes checked?

Or I’m right, and you do lie about things you post for some reason.

In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning

I thought you might not know what that meant, but now I know you don’t.

Notice you have nothing to say about the actual meat of what I said though. And we all know why that is.
