Wait, did someone not get the joke and downvote you?

They've ALWAYS sucked but had a very friendly face. Remember how they tried to ban renting in North America? They failed to do so for games, but they got their filthy clutches on the manuals so game shops weren't allowed to rent those out. They didn't need to do that but they did just to make the experience a little bit worse for us consumers.

Having said that... The US kinda fucked up themselves, so I'm not sure why Nintendo is being singled out.

Oh for sure, I've been doing the same! My comment want meant to discourage people from trying. Sorry if came off that way.

I've gotten rid of most of Google of my PC and phone. Microslop, Amazon, Meta, all gone. And unfortunately, Steam too :(

I live in Japan so I have a lot of alternatives. Not only can I avoid US brands, I can avoid foods with US ingredients. I don't buy Japanese chip brands of the potatoes are sources from the US.

I don't think the world has ever been black and white. Whatever you purchase is based on someone's suffering or funds it in some way or another. The best we can do is be less evil. If you think you can still do good by using mullvad's service, you should stay. If you think switching will be more beneficial for you—even at the cost of productivity and perhaps a difference in price—then you should ditch Mullvad.

Seriously, thank fuck.

I feel like if ChatGPT is capable of tricking you like this, something/someone else would have either way. I just wish we could help people like this...

Fuck the US though. In fact, fuck the World Cup too.

And stolen resources.

I wouldn't be surprised if schools in North America were already doing that for student autonomy.

Eight survived...

And they probably didn't even say thank you for the opportunity.
