I enjoy occasional co-op gaming with people I know personally. Faceless strangers teabagging me and throwing racist insults like raging 13 year olds who just got addicted to Mountain Dew?

Another piece of internet history now gone. Perhaps not deleted, but hidden beneath Goggle's own archives until they degrade away.

No one wants to be at the receiving end of the Russian roulette.

I bet they'll say staying healthy without getting sick equals robbing from hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

Schools and universities in principle should be the place where they're introduced to what really means to own a computer. The trend however seems to give out everyone a locked down e-waste with proprietary restrictions all over the place.
