I enjoy the idea that some shitass mason hated whatever king hired him, built all the stairs as quickly and poorly as possible, and then to save his ass later had to be all “oh hmm yes the stairs? That’s a feature actually” and somehow it winds up catching on

It’s way cuter if he’s kicking his stubby ol legs

Holy shit

“Ruined” seems like a strong word but the yolk wasn’t supposed to break

While simultaneously opposing any form of gun control so they can fight… something?

Apparently the only protest worth anything is one where you’re shooting at someone

I’m not saying that piracy, as a general concept, results in zero losses for a company. There are people who would have paid to see a thing, who won’t thanks to piracy. I am saying that there is also a ton of stuff I would never pay to see, but would happily watch if it were free. Having some interest in a thing isn’t the same as being willing to pay for it.

Hell, there’s also stuff that I saw thanks to piracy that I wound up liking so much I went back and paid for a copy. In that sense, companies can make money through piracy. The point is that piracy isn’t taking something like theft is, it’s copying something.

That’s not what I said at all.

This doesn’t get said enough. Piracy is only damaging if I would have paid to get the thing in the first place. If I’m pirating something that I would have avoided entirely had I needed to pay, literally no one is taking any losses.

Everywhere I go… I see his face…

in this specific context it means bullshit, like “no bullshit,” but it can’t be used literally any other way because “to cap” someone means killing them

No I’m talking about some serious mommy milkers

This is why we need a strong, massive milkers union

very steam(ed) punk

Do you really think that’s sustainable

At $15 a month? Yeah totally. The vast majority of that 2.7 billion probably cost a few cents at most to offer service to. Very few people actually upload anything and streaming video is way cheaper than the various streaming services would have you believe. It’s expensive to get off the ground, sure, but it scales well.

Tens of millions of people can and do pay. This isn’t about covering costs, this is about making line go up faster than last year, every year, no matter what.

that’s not really true. 10,000 years ago is about when we developed agriculture, stopped roaming as much, and started writing in some form that could survive the millennia, but we’ve been living and working together since long before we were ever recognizably human.

is fortnite really still the thing these days? that game is a full 6 years old. i know games have a longer shelf life now (same vein as minecraft and roblox) but surely there’s a newer game we grumpy old geezers should be shaking our canes at the kids about. sus amogus anyone??

I had a local paper do this to me a few years ago. Turns out I can ask my credit card provider to block payments to them at 2am on a Saturday and I still get access to the paper for another two months.
