I’ve bought plenty of games that turned out to be dogshit, and the only solace they’ve provided is the ability to recoup some of the money by selling or trading the games. The physical games I do own are carefully curated, and I can still play all of them. I don’t want to be put in a position where I can’t get my money back AND I’m stuck with some shitty Hogwarts game.

You aren’t off-base, you just aren’t taking Sony’s, Nintendo’s, Microsoft’s tendencies to say “You don’t own that game you bought anymore” into account. Games are way too expensive to be able to brush off the full price of a game that you have every reason to be able to go back to after years of not playing them. Don’t put your trust in companies, especially after decades of eroding consumer trust.

Steam doesn’t do this (anywhere nearly as often). The lesson you should be getting from this new game sales trajectory is that if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t theft. Don’t reward companies for clawing back any benefits you have of buying something. All you’re doing is ceding ground that you won’t get back.

It’s nice to think about the fact that the teachers who will be “teaching” about these passages don’t have to give a shit, and it will provide a great opportunity for them to poke holes in it.

That’s why I’m switching when my three years of pre-paid service is over.

19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

Because the entire point of it is to extract capital without having to pay for labor. That’s what the push to develop it is. Of course it’s losing money, once the companies that are training it think they can, it won’t matter that they lost money, because they’ll be able to print money for free after it’s fully cooked.

You can always put on more clothes in cold weather. In hot weather, after a certain point, it becomes socially unacceptable to take off more clothes.

Also, bugs.

Some things do not need to be said on the internet.

Some things do not need to be said on the internet.

The worst city for bed bugs was Warren, Michigan, according to a report from Casino.ca, a Canadian online casino review site. There, the report noted the odds of finding bed bugs were at least 1 in 59. In fact, the entire state of Michigan ranked as the highest in the country for bed bugs with about a 1 in 57 chance of experiencing the pests.

Those subs are an endless stream of “My burgertaxi did X and that’s bananas!”, but all of the insist on using those apps. Zero sympathy for those idiots.

That is fascinating

Hey, we’ve seen this one before

Establish a precedent for trillionaires painting a target on their own backs.

I hate that I just had to add “trillionaires” to my dictionary.

What is the end goal? Indentured servitude? This whole setup just seems like it’s establishing a legal framework for what “organized crime” has been vilified for for more than a century.

Man, I wish Thom Yorke wasn’t a raging zionist

Easy access to gelatin and refrigeration was kind of new in the 50s.

It was partially a ploy by refrigeration companies to make the common ownership of newly-available refrigerators obvious and a point of pride/envy in suburban households.

See? Patience pays off.

• The shooter never fired

• The regime is being very cagey about what shots were fired

• The guy Naruto-ran past security

• Trump has a history of overplaying the previous attempts

• The most recent attempt happened near a ton of media figures

• Americans probably think that a serious attempt would be more successful

Don’t try to get out of it. It’s the most power you will ever get as a single citizen in the US. You can make the difference in someone else’s life, and it may be a matter of life and death based on a law that you don’t even think should exist. If you ever have a trial by jury, you don’t want to be judged by a group of people who couldn’t think of a good-enough excuse to get out of it, you want smart people who will potentially put their foot in the door between you and unjust laws.

Read up on jury nullification. Try to get on a jury. Don’t tell them anything they don’t ask directly. Dress like anything but who they think they don’t want on their jury during the voir dire process.

I was summoned once, but no juries were selected that day. My younger brother was the foreperson of a grand jury.
