All successful by 2010.

1. You are buying a license. That's the legal action you are taking. Even when you buy a physical copy, that's not ownership of the game. You can't duplicate and sell the copies. You can't duplicate and give them away. Both are copyright infringement.

Sure you can sell an older physical copy second hand, because there's no one there to stop you, which is why companies have moved to largely digital: the communications infrastructure makes it easier (like you said). But also it allowed companies to keep a tighter hold on their property.

I agree that if they wish to end support for a game, it should have a countdown timer to then be in the "public domain" so to speak.

But that's the uphill battle I spoke of, because you'd need to rewrite a precedent that currently allows for 90+ years of copyright.

And thus is the issue.

No, you don't own the software in your car. The companies who disabled your car do, and by acquiring that car, you are subject to their whims. Because by signing that contract when buying that car, I bet you didn't amend it to make you owner of that software.

Instead of continuing to maintain a car-centric culture with software that we don't own or control, we could incorporate more walking and biking infrastructure, and better more reliable public transit options.

Don't settle for one thing just because that's what you know and has been in existence most of your life. Find and build better options.

Step 4, demolish the preacher's house with him in it.

1: You've never owned a video game in your life, unless you were the owner of the copyright, you possessed a licensed copy (including physical copies). That has to change before any other real concrete changes can occur.

2: Online video games are a totally different beast over single player games. Besides direct competition with themselves, there has to be a sustained effort to maintain those servers, while also staying beholden to the copyright holders.

• Look at Project 1999 EverQuest (a "classic" server for a 26+ year game). It almost never reaches 2000 concurrent players, and that requires permission from Daybreak to run as intended. The Hero's Journey is a different EQ project that is in litigation with Daybreak right now. Project Quarm has been reticent about keeping its servers running during the THJ legal proceedings.

As much as we might want to keep games alive for posterity, we have to figure out a process for online games, and that seems like it's gonna be a massive uphill battle.

Terrible burgers and fries.

I could never know how to write this process out, and I'm so glad someone else could. It's beautiful!

Every word.

Oh but they are, she did do something wrong (in their twisted minds): gender traitor

They aren't being the men they were "born to be'.

Note how most anti-trans people couldn't give two shits about women transitioning to men, it's virtually always an issue of men transitioning to women. They are either doing it to get a competitive advantage in sports (an unimaginable minority, and even still, not a great track record), or "abandoning" masculinity.

• "Why would you cut off your dick just to do X, Y, Z?"
• Almost all of the vitriol towards gay rights was towards men (because hey, watching 2 girls kiss is sexy).
• The men who cover their face when shocked? Too "feminine".
• The current manosphere with direct ties to the president.
• General hate, disdain, or control over women: "Your body, by choice. Forever."

They hate women, and if you change from man to woman, you aren't human in their eyes.

Try it outside in your backyard.

Just 2? Amateur.

“They followed directions,” the statement read. “Jabari complied — and within seconds, he was taken to the ground and shot.”

Akin to so many other black men who are murdered by police, like Philando Castile.

It needs to be destroyed, not toured.

Of course!

"What time is it?"
"Right meow!"

One might call those scaled up nanomachines "machines".

Moving is expensive, especially to another country. Assets or not.

You can show up to a protest armed to the fucking teeth without firing off a single round. That's how those anti lockdown fucks got what they wanted in 2020 (and one of many reasons why COVID exploded).

Criticism, questioning, ambiguity, or hesitance will also be reported.
