Playstation should definitely be top - right lol

I mean, they didn’t bother you guys.
The guy was just cold, and the gal had a personal moment. Not their fault, that you two little kids were scared of strangers.
Kidding aside, and assuming what you’ve written is neither internet-talk nor standard schizophrenia tendencies, it might be carbon monoxide poisoning. It was a phenomenon, with haunted houses very often just having faulty heaters of some kind, causing hallucinations in the right doses.
Wait has this been a widespread issue? I’ve only noticed this a couple weeks now, but I thought it was because the cat dropped my deck from the table 😶
What’s going on actually?
Sure, no objections there
So, to condense the article:
We are having a tough time! We’re thinking of closing our German factories, and ending our “We don’t fire people” Guarantee!
Politicians, please save us by regulating our competitors and exempting us from sales tax on new technologies!
Why?
Because our primary source of money before, was selling in China (40% to 50% of earnings), and now Chinese EVs have taken over both China and the local market! So, with our shitty expensive EVs, we can’t compete, and, worst of all, China is buying less from us, so we are losing all that money!
Opinion:
We kept selling to the most vulnerable market and pocketing innovation money, and now we got out-innovated and that market is no longer vulnerable!
Please give us tax-money and regulate our competitors away, otherwise we will make a political stink, and throw workers on the street!
Lol
A record of records
Oh no. I guess the only reasonable response is to bomb another children’s hospital.
The Guardian has dropped the ball a bunch of times.
A non-name media org is less likely to be a target for rich fucks who want to pay to push their agenda through a big, recognizable, reputable source.
The bigger the organisation, the greater the chances it will be corrupted, in ways big and small, by rich fucks.
… Yeah it is 🫠🥲
In literal terms it translates to “before-the-road” (pro - drómou)
(this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in ‘temporally before’, or before- as in ‘in front of’)
So any way you slice it, it’s pretty ironic.
“Prodromou” is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning “the one who walks the road before others”.
So him being “a visionary” is fun, lol
This is really interesting, but I got a bit confused by the language.
Can someone explain, what the “common mistake” being done by bad research until now is?
And what is the conclusion relating to alcohol use?
I see. Well, if I take what you’re saying as fully correct, then it sounds like communism compared to anarchism, is just “a different path for how we reach the same utopia”.
And this different path passes through more authority (quantity and quality), through the existence and emphasis of the state.
How much authority, is probably what makes the spectrum of Anarchy to Stalin-Lenin.
And well… As an anarchist, deafboy’s comment might be polemic, but I get it. Any authority that can, will get corrupted.
Your astroturfing reads so strongly like sarcasm I almost upvoted.
I honestly thought “There’s no way anyone, paid or brainwashed, would post such a thing and mean it”.
What makes this thing you’re describing, not anarchism?
I think you’re thinking of anarchocommunism specifically. Which is “not all communism”™.
State-based communism is a thing, that many people usually called tankies by others, do believe in.
The political blockading 5 years ago was sobering news.
This is watching a really, really, really big train crash, after knowing for minutes that the driver was accelerating on purpose.
This was predicted and expected.
A “truly small” creator, would get , I dunno, let’s say 5% of Disney’s marketed sales, after being stolen from, from being known as the guy Disney stole from. Which would be enormously more than if he only had his “truly small” marketing.
A more successful and known creator, who would market himself more broadly on his own, would not be easy to steal from, since it would be quick enough for the stealing to be found out, to dampen Disney sales.
And all this, ignores the paradigm shift in monetisation (Uniquenameosaurus YouTube video), that could enhance this process immensely, and allow artist creativity to flourish even more, without even leaving the diseased economical rules of capitalism.
Also about this,
As opposed to now where the original artist/author at least has some recourse against the big corporation. Versus none.
Guns give some recourse to poor people, against the rich, because anyone could use a gun.
Guns allow the rich to equip their personal security teams, with guns.
Guns are not helping the poor, and neither does copyright.
I’m about 101% sure it’s possible, ±1.1%
Disney wins in that scenario, because they have more resources to spend on getting their media out there.
As… Opposed to now?
If Disney does plagiarize small artists’ work, and becomes known for it, they take a reputation hit, and the artist gets an explosion of exposure, as long as it is provable he made the original story. (Disney making million-dollar budget movies of your OC, isn’t even that bad for you, to be honest, but let’s assume that it doesn’t market the fuck out of your small artist story. In real life, stories are not in competition.)
If Disney doesn’t, then it’s an undeniable positive for worldwide creativity.
The only thing copyright protects, is big companies’ exclusive right to public-consciousness characters.
And
Copyright only protects the Mouse’s bottom line, and strangleholds creativity.
After a short read, the case is specifically “Steam is prohibiting developers from selling their games to other platforms, at a price lower than that of steam, and then pockets the 30% platform cost, due to effective monopoly power”.
Which, if true, is super bullshit.
