If we could ignore them, this thread would not exist. and I support extra legal measures against these people. They do it for the attention and they deserve the attention they will have coming to them. In Seattle they had a guy in Belltown

You’re right. These are not stupid people. They are likely very out of touch, but they are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing and they are good at it. Often times, a stupid take is useful to manipulate people or change the di

If you can’t see the difference between a design firm pointing out obvious riffs on their first to market designs… And a company openly instructing poached employees to exfiltrate documents on their way out the door, well…

Yep SNES games retailed for up to $70 in the early 90s. I’m seeing gamers revolt for paying that much today for something as immense as GTA6 Back then this was more expensive, adjusted for inflation, than many AAA titles today, and the scal

You are being intentionally obtuse. Why on earth you would feel the need to play this game when we all know Musk’s character is baffling.

Counterpoint: bandcamp is doing well. Vinyl sales are doing well. If I like an artist that I find on streaming, I buy an LP and get a lossless download for free. I still have a music library and I will never rent my favorite music. Artists

That’s true, but I consider myself a collector. Think of how a comic book collector operates. If I have an option to get a 16bit version of a recording or a high-res version, I choose the highest quality version very time Same with a physic

That’s dumb. Call your local authorities. I woke up to a bat in my house. Local animal control told us to go to the ER immediately and get the rabies cycle started. Don’t play games.

That’s really beside the point. It doesn’t matter what the 9th circuit or any other court says. Our country is no longer a country of laws. Laws are only as good as they are enforced. The SCOTUS, the DOJ, the FBI, and congress have openly a

The year is 2026 and the 4th amendment only means what the currently sitting justices say that it means, and the executive branch was literally given a pass to violate any law on the books that they want.
