If I'm following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be "Microsoft ecosystem", not "XBox ecosystem", since they're removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

Ah. Account I read must have been a simplified version, probably for kids. Or I just forgot. Pretty sure I got it from D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths

I thought he was autosexual/romantic, if anything. This is the "stare into the water admiring his own face until he dies" guy, right?

While I do agree with what you're saying, and it's a way of reading it I hadn't considered, I don't think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it's just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that "science isn't truth, it's the search for truth", and "if you disagree it's not a disagreement, you're just wrong" is internally inconsistent.

Ain't nobody told you to hurt me like that... Right in the feels man...

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I'll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don't want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven't decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason

I've been thinking it's just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. "The Law of Attraction" is just the way I've seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: "Law of Attraction" is not a lay person's way of saying "Law of Gravity".

It's the belief online that "if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff" (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.
