Well duh, it hits their bottom line now when mods black-out major subs in protest.

But yall already know that…

Yep, trail magic is real magic. Just humans being good to each other.

Ok, he will probably shrivle up like the wicked witch of the west touching water.

The people who hate star wars the most are themselves the biggest fans of star wars.

A rushed game is usually pretty bad, a delayed game is eventually good. While I dont hold AC in very high regard, im glad they told people that it needs more time to cook instead of throwing it out there half-baked.

And it gives you some degree of control over reposts and people stealing content. If your not on the platform you cant really contest claims against a video or post.

Im going to interpret that headline that he requested it from the horse and not read any further.

Its even worse during Allston Xmas, the city in its infinite wisdom decided that most leases end on the same day. All the schools also have the new semester start right around the same time, and all the new students arrive within that few day window.

Lets paint this picture, the city is in panic mode as the student population makes up ~25% of the population of Boston, and they are all returning for the new semester. They likely have just moved as their old lease is up and their new one starts on the same day. They will take all of their worldly possessions and put them into the back of their friends sedan and drive to their new place, anything that wont fit is left on the curb. The previous tenant of the new place did the exact same thing. They put all the things they care for into their new place and decide which furniture from the previous tenant is good enough and put it back inside. Anything left on the curb by ~4 PM is fair game, and will be disposed of by the city next time the collect trash

The freshmen, whos parents are sending their spawn to MIT or BU have a u-haul (that they dont know the height of) carrying all their worldly possions, dispite their tiny dorm not having the room for it (and being told this repeatedly by the school). All it takes is one of these muppets to not pay attention and one of the major arteries into the city is blocked. Traffic will back up for miles, non-masshole drivers operating things that should require a CDL are trying to take short-cuts navigating the narrow boston city roads in small box trucks and every residential street will be a mass of double parked cars as the city collectivly shuffles the entire student population in a day.

Chaos is an understatement (its a lot of fun to watch).

I had a coworker who was a sneaker head (traded in limited edition shoes). They called people who bought bad deals or was generally inexpirenced “Timmys” because the persons orders looked like a kid with their parents credit card.

Yep, if you own a bank 10 thousand dollars, thats a you problem. If you owe a band 10 billion dollars, thats a them problem.

Holy URLs Batman!

Also according to an angry Italians fanfic of hell, its not really that hot there either. Some little bits of it are, mostly revolving around people who were generally assholes in life, and a non-zero number of recently deceased (See the 14th century) popes the author had an axe to grind with.

Thanks for the clairifcation on the EU ballot initiative thing, that clears that up pretty well. The US sorta just threw the baby out with the bathwater in terms of departmental regulation but thats an entirely other can of worms.

Your second point about DDOSing, Thor comes from a cyber security background and the legality isnt as much of a factor, nor is he stating stating that this would make it legal. Security people have to treat it like “defense against the dark arts”, if its possible to do someone will, therefore you have to be able to do it too to prevent it. He is stating that actors would DDOS things because they can, and potentially do so smartly to secretly ruin others enterprises by abusing the regulations if the get made poorly.

But your point clears that up a bit, the initiative has to be vague by design so that lawmakers/regulators can do their job should it pass its initial poll. I think Thor also has a point in that it if the final rulings are made poorly it opens the industry up to abuse. (see amazons patent issues as an example of companies and agencies not thinking things through)

The amount of money the US governemnt has spent rescuing Matt Damon from things is staggering.

A few days ago I saw a thing from Thor (Pirate Software) about how this initiative is pretty half baked. Has that chagned or other people with a horse in the race voiced their opinions? Ive only seen the two. (The initiatives sumbitters video and Thors)

Dumb american here, trying to wrap my head around this because it sounds good on paper, and if it suceedes it may be good to do on this side of the pond, but im still trying to form an imformed opinion.

And the bowl of petunias thought “Oh no, not again…”

Alpha Centauri is actually 13.6 feet from me, Ive got an old sid meyrs disk somehwere in the box of old tech stuff. Great game, used the same engine as Civ 2, think its on GOG these days.

And Wittgenstine was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

My head-cannon from the lawyers going something like this.

“Thank you Mr. Musk for the lawsuit, we had a lot of fun reading it. Especially the parts you drew (I liked the blue dinosauar). Before we begin, we would like to let you know the legal fees for this case are coming directly from the portion of the advertising budget we allocated to the website formerly known as Twitter”

Probably more entertaining than the actual cases.

Its an old meme sir, but it checks out.
