Maybe they should change their name to "Pacific Bell" something fitting like that. Or AT&T. Or Maybe something a little more adjusted to their near future... "Blockbuster"

Does Google not know what a "pledge" is?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If there's a conflict and I get to choose whether or not the side I'm on has killbots, I'll definitely choose killbots. Especially if the enemy has them.
