@charlieINTEL Is this supposed to make me feel bad for this trillion dollar company? So what. Microsoft chose to acquire Activision. The ridiculous price hikes and business model is not my problem. Microsoft is preying on the consumer
@NerosCinema I think activision is either the target of a cyber attack or a problem of their own doing. Overwatch 2 is unplayable right now. Every game I play I get kicked and so much lag. Huge server problems
During my senate campaign in 2022, I met a Ukrainian-American man in NE Ohio. He was very angry about my views on the conflict, and my desire to bring it to a rapid close.
"You are trying to abandon my country, and I don't like it."
"Sir, I replied, "your country is the United States of America, and so is mine."
I always found it offensive that a new immigrant to our country would be willing to use the power and influence of their new nation to settle the ethnic rivalries of the old.
One of the most important parts of assimilation is seeing *your* country as the USA. It's part of the bargain: if you're welcomed into our national family, you ought to look out for the interests of the United States. I know many immigrants who have the right perspective, and I'm grateful to them. For example, I met many Ukrainian Americans during that campaign (and since) who agreed with my views, or at the very least, asked the right question: what is in the best interests of the United States?
