    For me personally, they are a thing I get excited for, have dozens of ideas on what to wear randomly throughout the year. Then on October 31st suddenly realize it’s Halloween and I still don’t have a costume. Now I have to panic to find something that doesn’t look rushed, usually on a work day, and I need to get candy to hand out like I promised my significant other I wouldn’t forget this year. And by the time I make that happen, it’s a stupid costume and some lame last minute bag of candy, and I know it screams that I put it all off until the last minute again, and wearing it stresses me out because now all I can think about is how it’s a visual manifestation of my inability to manage even the simplest tasks.

    So yeah…

    I feel like a key difference between Google’s search Monopoly and Valve’s is the fact that Google paid off the competition to be the default on basically every browser.

    Valve’s de facto monopoly is very real, or at least they absolutely dominate the PC game market (IANAL, no clue if Valve’s monopoly passes the legal bar). But outside of the SteamDeck and a couple gaming focused laptop’s, Steam doesn’t get forced on any user as the default. They personally install it.





  • Sure, but I was talking about general complaints. Things like, “the drivers here are so bad”, “the winters are too cold and the summers are too hot”, “the government sure is poorly run”, “the yellow sports car parked out in front of the fast food place I work looks so stupid”, “I hate my boss and his stupid name, like seriously, who is named Methuselah Honeysuckle”, and “If they don’t give me a raise this time, I’m going to start a union, I’m serious, working a Chipotle sucks”.

    You know, the kind of stuff that could never be traced back to me.
