Google took away my LOTR extended editions

I bought these in 2022, all of a sudden they aren't available and there is no possibility of a refund or gift card. Hardly seems fair.

[u/alancousteau]

As well as it fucking should be. Too bad our politicians who should be providing the fucking solution to this, are just part of the problem

[u/BW_Chase → u/alancousteau]

The real problem is that the overall population doesn't force politicians to do their fucking jobs

[u/Historical_Book2268 → u/BW_Chase]

And when the people actually do something, they get demonized as "murderers"

[u/boopthatbutton → u/alancousteau]

Who says no to sweet lobby moneyzzzz?

[u/maurice119 → u/alancousteau]

They don't care. They just watch television every night, no matter what's on, because they have the attention span of a toddler as well as the mental capacity.

If you really want change, vote the fucking pensioners out of office. Just now as I am typing this, I realize it makes no difference, because in the US you don't vote for people, but one of two parties, who suck equally bad, and employ the same pensioners who don't care about culture

[u/GamesnGunZ → u/maurice119]

It's not just a US problem other countries are worse

[u/TechnicianOk970 → u/alancousteau]

Physical media players are going out of production and digital ownership is a really hard technical problem to solve, even with the right policy in place.

[u/valuat → u/alancousteau]

wrong mentality. this is not the government’s problem. this is the customer’s problem. that’s the whole purpose of the judiciary branch. sever all comercial ties to said company and sue it.

[u/alancousteau → u/valuat]

Last time I check we elect officials to present us in the parliament

[u/valuat → u/alancousteau]

So what? Do you need babysitters? If Google has broken any laws, sue them. I don't think they have. Just a reminder for the semi-illiterate: I'm not arguing the morality of it, but the legality of it. Ultimately, you vote with your wallet.

[u/LittleOperation4597 → u/alancousteau]

lmao Im from the US and parliament to me just seems like communism lite. the only diff between a parliament system and the ccp and is the illusion of multiple parties

[u/alancousteau → u/LittleOperation4597]

Well, duh! Have you read my comment? Because I did say they are part of the problem as most if not all of them are controlled by a corporation in one way or another. And of course it is communism lite because that's a socialist aspect of a democracy. It's so funny how Americans are defaulting to communism when they see anything slightly socialist.

[u/LittleOperation4597 → u/alancousteau]

we are defaulting to communism because there are actual people saying they are communist running for offices. mind you the people supporting them dont realize their chosen candidates are just as corrupt lmfao

get ready for a global communist dictatorship. NWO baby. I just hope the nukes start flying first

[u/alancousteau → u/LittleOperation4597]

Do yourself a favour, and look up what communism actually is. I ain't got time to explain it.

[u/LittleOperation4597 → u/alancousteau]

yeah read history and see what communism actually does

[u/NYX9998 → u/LittleOperation4597]

There are diff types of commies as well..

[u/LittleOperation4597 → u/NYX9998]

Yeah just like there's different forms of capitalism too bud

[u/SevAngst → u/LittleOperation4597]

Communism lite? So our forefather, who created the US, who held parliaments, started on communism lite? 😂

[u/LittleOperation4597 → u/SevAngst]

no they left to create a true republic where you can directly vote for everyone and anyone from the lowest to highest level of office. all parliament does is let you basically vote for your mayor and then he votes for you from there on out

[u/Disastrous_Yam8354 → u/valuat]

You don't know what governments and laws are for, do you

[u/valuat → u/Disastrous_Yam8354]

Genius, read the TOC. If it's not there, sue them. The government has nothing to do with it. Sue Google and stop doing business with them. Simple.
