Ecco the dolphin

I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.

Sometimes I turn into a bird.

    I’d like to expand on this thought. Its been bothering me.

    Even when we “lose” wars we Americans do not experience the destruction we impart on other nations.

    We bombed a school. No american school children will die in this war, but Iranian children already have.

    Americans will disapprove of this war but it will only affect them in limited ways, making large protests feel foolish when many are trying to scrape by to make rent, and we live under a dictator.

    I don’t know what there is to be done. It makes me sick.

    Does that make sense to you? It’s a bit complex, so I can understand if maybe that’s a bit tough to fully comprehend.

    Are you attempting to be condescending when you couldn’t figure out whether it was New York city or New York state bringing the suit? How embarrassing for you.

    Anyway, what valve is doing is supporting a nascent gambling scene involving 3rd party resales of loot box stuff, and the loot boxes themselves are basically gambling. Its not something that should be normalized. They are profiting off this and there are children involved. Normally I don’t think “save the children” arguments have much weight to them but this is a solved problem: we regulate gambling industries.

    Please understand: I use steam. I think its awesome. I’m hyped to play my steam games on Linux. But steam is in the wrong here imo.

    And yes, there are bigger evils in the world, but this is still a worthwhile case. [Sentence redacted, privacy]. This shit is gambling and it needs regulation.
