Opinionated shit, I tinker, rant and caffeinate. Do NOT follow me without talking to me. Fuck your 'marketing'. RTs are not endorsements except where obvious. I may be *marginally* less angry here than on twitter.
Boosts are not necessarily things I condone or approve of, just things I think others should be aware of.
Amazon literally tried this over a decade ago already. It was shit then. It will, in relative terms, be no better now.

Welp, thats a hallmark of educational electronics completely ruined.
An account in good standing with purchases spanning over 15 years, from the first original 'Humble Indie Bundle' offered by Wolfire Games when they were still involved), up to two bundles bought in the last couple of months. GONE.
Repeated statements of no recovery possible, and they insist the purchases CANNOT be moved to a new account even with proof of purchase and ownership (which I do have).
Keep this in mind when "buying" digital goods kids, and especially from *particular* vendors.
Welp, just had the (apparently) final email in a "support" thread from HumbleBundle (I'm aware that @humblebundle may not be an official account).
Due to (*admittedly) an error on my part, and extremely poor planning and data handling on their part, my account, in good standing and holding a library of thousands of games, books and other digital items bought and paid for, is no more, GONE, poof.
Whilst I have no doubt the Louis Theroux documentary on the 'manosphere' will, in an amusing and insightful way, reveal and highlight exactly what I suspect and (mostly) already know of the subject, unfortunately I doubt I will ever watch it.
For much the same reasons I've never watched many other movies and TV series.
People will not shut the fuck up about it, and have so badly ruined the potential first viewing experience of it for me so thoroughly I will now ACTIVELY avoid it, for life.
@revk Yeah, other places don't bother with an earth pin either.
Wonder how that reflects in their domestic electrocution injury and death stats.

This may be the greatest argument for the creation of a legal statute allowing the confiscation of computing hardware for misuse, and its redistribution to decent human beings at zero cost.
