This reminds me of plants vs zombies.

And you can always look out the window for entertainment.

Mine is Firefox + adblockers.

I like watching SciShow and Crashing Out.

Going for infinite growth in a worth in which ‘inflation’ is not properly recognized as a result of the rich stealing from the rest, results inevitably in services worsening until they kill themselves.

America has a dire prudism problem.

When I meet some shoopkeepeers who look Chinese, I have the urge to say something that sounds kinda like “knee how” but I don’t because I don’t know what that means. Freaking Babel curse, man.

If we had proper anti-trust laws, Marketplace would have been a separate entity that could survive on its own, while the rest dies.

People still use them? Why?

Terms of service are unenforceable as nobody reads them.
A contract cannot be valid if one side has not read it. If one side cannot guarantee the other side has read it, it’s their onus.
Also, clicking a button that says “I accept” isn’t signing a contract. If it doesn’t have your signature or a certified digital signature, it isn’t a contract.
It’s just an “I told you so” that allows them to kick you out, like the rules at the entrance of a restaurant. It doesn’t give them the power to sue you or anything like that. It’s just covering their asses with legalese excuses. Any legal practice that claims otherwise are just legal mercenaries for the wealthy.

How is it even legal for a company to decide what you can or can’t install in your own device?

That’s why the right-wingers of PP and Vox are frothing at the mouth and pushing their corporate media mercenaries to lie extra hard about it all.

We all know the reason. That mod couldn’t resist the autoerotic arousal of the ultimate unjustified ban. They live for those.

How a brick-and-mortar store works can’t be compared to the Internet.

That’s not how the internet works.

The onus is on the users. The parents are the ones who have to figure out a way to ensure what their kid’s devices can access, or that they are educated enough not to seek it.

They’ll just add another one that clarifies it can only happen if the terms were not consecutive, of it your surname is Trump.

There’s nothing involving humans that isn’t politics. You have two people in one place. You got politics.

Hell, there are many things involving non-humans that are politics too. Just watch a naked mole rat documentary.

If vegans really cared about these things more than keeping the moral high ground, they’d be focusing on practical solutions like making lab-grown meat and plant-based substitutes so tasty and affordable that corporations are the ones that start pushing for them, so they can’t stop spending on costly cattle.

Energy is cheaper where the government has a public alternative. That goes for all utilities and services.

That is solved with different degrees of copyright. If done right, the author’s works will never stop being theirs, but people will be able to make fanfiction without fear of a bloodthirsty copyright lawyer biting at their necks. They’d just have to clearly indicate it’s fanfic, and the original author could get a cut of any earnings past a threshold.

Create a great work that inspires another great work; both authors benefit.

I would go even further, for any media.

The moment a company ends access to a piece of media, it should almost automatically become public domain. With just a reasonable window of time to bring it back once inaccessible, just in case there are things like downtime, blackouts, or restructuring of services.

Disney decides they will no longer let you rent the original Snow White for a local movie theater in your city, or take it out from their streaming services, or creates an alternate edited version with any significant alteration other than a disclaimer or warning at the start but removes access to the original, and no one else has the rights on lease that gives that access instead, boom, public domain. You no longer have to wait until 2032 to make an exploitative low-budget horror movie version of it.

If they make a remaster of a game, they must keep access to the original. Sell only the remaster; the original becomes public domain for use, not the IP, within reason.
Any associated proprietary technologies, like a physics engine, get a limited lease of use with no cost for the original as it was, excepting modifications to allow it to run on other devices and newer devices.
So it wouldn’t be all of it becomes public domain, but it becomes something usable and maintainable by the public domain.
Remove access to the game and all versions and remasters, and the IP of that game goes fully public domain.
