I’m worried the one on the left might accidentally turn the knob or something.

It's tragic if that's true, and I didn't really know that such a tradition existed. Damn.

This is so cute, it's like she passed out from being overloaded by the cat's cuteness.

And what do you think makes people violent? Their upbringing, their environment, their circumstances, and so on. Obviously, if video games are a significant part of their lives, they can contribute to violent tendencies especially if someone cannot distinguish fiction from reality. That’s exactly my point.

I’ve made my case, and I never said that. What you do with this information is up to you.

It depends on the individual. Those who cannot distinguish fiction from reality are the ones to watch out for but it’s tough to figure that out.

I'm telling you it spread because of government funding and capitalists were just the medium by which the funding was used.

It doesn’t work just by you saying it. According to multiple sources, the government clearly didn’t want to fund commercial internet and largely backed out during the 90s.

The capitalist part is replaceable and unnecessary.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s replaceable, I can make that claim too. What matters is what actually happened in reality.

That doesn’t undermine my argument that it was ultimately because of the capitalists that the internet spread in the first place.

[-] Hikki88@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

That’s not an argument. I don’t need to speculate on hypotheticals when reality already proves the point.

It was private at that time. My point is that it spread so quickly to millions of people worldwide because of capitalists specifically the telecom companies and ISPs stepping in. Without them, the internet could never have developed on such a scale.

You got internet because of capitalists as well.
