Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

These people remind me of my old roommate who "just wanted to live in a neighborhood where you don't have to lock your doors."

We lived kind of in the fucking woods outside of town, and some of our nearest neighbors had a fucking meth lab on their property.

I literally told him you can't fucking will that want into reality, man.

You can't just choose to leave your doors unlocked hoping that this will turn out to be that neighborhood.

I eventually moved the fuck out because I can't deal with that kind of hippie dippie bullshit. Life isn't fucking The Secret.

I have friends that occasionally bitch about the way things are but refuse to engage with whatever systems are set up to help solve whatever given problem they have. "it shouldn't be like that! It should work like X"

Well, it doesn't. We can try to change things for the better but refusal to engage with the current system isn't an excuse for why your life is shit.

~~The bootlickers really come out of the woodwork here to suck on corporate boot.~~

Edit: wrong thread.

What in the fuck are you talking about? You’re the one standing up for the corporation

Yeah that is my bad, responded to the wrong thread.

In this case, the corporation isn't wrong that users aren't doing due dilligence.

That's a lot of fucking

I would definitely want my door locked for that.
