  • Sure, you've just described one of the ways that Monsanto is evil. Keeping a deathgrip on the seed production and making the cost of signing another contract just slightly less than the cost of a potential legal battle is scummy as hell. Instead of making things up to be mad at, let's be mad at them for that.

  • I don't see any natural means by which those seeds dispersed. Actually, it looks like he knew he was growing seeds that could get him in trouble

    Monsanto is evil enough, we do not have to exaggerate how evil they are.

  • If tariffs work, then fuck yeah. I don't think they will in the long run, but if we end up winning the lottery I'm not going to get upset because I didn't like the numbers we picked

    It's also super not worth all of the other shit we have to put up with, but let's take what wins we can

    Edit: of course they aren't moving manufacturing to the US, so I guess this hurts China at our own expense. I guess it's only a win for whatever country they move manufacturing to

  • I feel that I'm correct because by both the strict definition of the word suing, and the inclusion of out of court settlements, I can't find any examples of Monsanto pursuing any sort of legal action against farmers who accidentally grew their crops when the seeds were spread by natural means.

    Don't get me wrong, the concept of patenting a living thing is ghoulish and evil, and farmers should absolutely be allowed to grow whatever seeds they want. Just don't misrepresent someone intentionally breaching a contract as something totally accidental and out of their control

  • Nobody thinks or acts like this

    You can be critical of two governments at the same time. You don't have to love one to hate the other

  • No they don't. There's never been any legal action taken for accidentally growing GM crops.

  • Piracy is a moral imperative for this exact reason. Right now it's "offensive" plotlines that they're removing. How long until they decide to remove any reference to Patty or Smithers' sexuality?

  • Maybe you did, and you didn't even notice

    Imagine how much faster your computer could have been

  • They aren't shitting their pants because they can actually get to a bathroom in their cars

  • If I'm stealing potential profits, then there wasn't much potential. My bank account is still near empty

  • Pirate your shows. Not just as a defense against ads, but as a defense against Disney throwing plotlines down the Memory Hole

  • They also can't amend the constitution via executive order or deport US citizens, but watch them try it anyway

  • I don't want them to slam it, I want them to stop it. If any Congressperson were to physically restrain musk until he was arrested, I would move to their state and vote for them for the rest of their career.

  • A) Visit the country you want to support

    B) Stop buying so much stuff

    I'm not trying to throw any shade at you, but it's kind of sad when the the question isn't "how do I get by without buying stuff," but rather "what can I buy more of to improve the situation?"

  • Well I mean my way is waiting until gameplay is published, as well as making sure the story isn't ass. I'm gonna let my coplayer decide if he wants to get it day one, but I imagine he'll hold out for a bit

    Wrt BL3, we were gonna buy that on release anyway because we'd done the same for every other entry and DLC since the day BL2 came out. If we'd waited a few weeks, the only difference would be that we're prepared for the story to be ass

  • And remember kids: thanks to the FOIA, it's not a crime to own or distribute TM-31-210 and TM-32-201-1

    At least, not yet. Get em while you can!

  • Almost never. The last one I digitally pre-ordered was Borderlands 3, and given how that turned out, I think I might buy BL4 on release day, if not a few weeks later

  • Regulations to limit how much corporations can charge for goods and services? That's communism!
