I thought the idea of questions were that they would prompt answers, not people rushing in to openly debate and bring up arguments that weren’t asked. Hey, maybe you ought to ask a question on here that is open to that?

Cool story. Bye.

There’s a reason on the doors or windows there are openings and closings. Nobody is going to roll the red carpet out for you with 10 minutes left because they know all that you’re going to do is waltz in and take time beyond 10 minutes.

It’s even more funnier that:

• You willingly made an account on here

• Took time out of your day to read this magazine, click on this post and make a comment

• Come out thinking you’re the righteous one when you’ve had all of the choice in the world to simply not say anything

I can make a pasta meal under $6 that’s generally made to last. The only determining factors is what additives you can add to it. My poor man’s meal consist of the pasta (those $1 ones at wal-mart), tomato sauce (my choice has always been Tomato/Basil/Onion kinds) now the fun part is the additives themselves.

I’ve gotten imitation crab legs ($1 for the snack kind), croutons, chopped turkey franks .etc anything. You can just add damn near anything to the pasta that’ll get you through a bit. I’ve only recently been adding frozen chopped spinach to the dishes, boil them up, dump them in.

All for a reasonable price. I don’t usually pay anymore than $8 for a complete meal.

I’ve always felt that it should be the lifetime of the creator and if there’s no heir established to carry the reigns of the IP - then public domain. Companies like Disney love to lobby and push that number and have pushed that number to ridiculous lengths so that it’s like 500 years (exaggerated since we know it’s like 90+).

Because say the creator dies, they have not picked a heir or that they don’t have anyone to entrust with, with their IP. It gets funneled through the state’s laws of inestate succession.

However, what we mostly have seen is when an owner does give up the rights and it’s in the hands of greedy mongrels like Disney. What happens is that the IP is just in a cycle of re-release hell just to keep whatever trademark or copyright alive, doesn’t matter about the quality which is usually shit.

And in the video games industry, we’ve seen copyrights to games that will never see the light of day. Copyrights and IP rights get hot potato’ed all the time because there’s so many people involved that it complicates things whenever a creator dies or vice versa. It’s why we haven’t seen digital releases for No One Lives Forever 1 and 2.

So, copyright has unnecessarily made things complex to where IPs are just used as extensive methods of profit, some of which aren’t even being directed to the original creators. Which makes me feel like copyright should just be the lifetime of the creator and then outsourced to public domain.

Because this is not Reddit where regurgitated, repetitive garbage is reposted ad-nauseum. If you’re going to say “Reddit is more forgiving…wah” then here’s an idea - GO BACK TO REDDIT AND STAY THERE!

They’re trying too hard to seem like they’re filmmakers when all that they’re doing is just doing the bare minimum possible for YouTube content.

It’s about as bad as TikTok people thinking they’re actors or singers with all of that lip-syncing they do.

I’ve not been to jail or prison in my life. Someone at one time or another has ran afoul with the law and broken justice system. I on the other hand, haven’t. Granted, there’s things I know that I did that would’ve seen me at least serve a handful of years but I hadn’t been charged and the statue of limitations have long fallen off so I can’t be touched anyways.

All I’ve ever gotten in my life is just traffic violations that I had to pay for, that’s it. But no prison time for me.

This is like the time the MPAA declared “victory” when they had all of the original Pirate Bay founders arrested. But Pirate Bay still continued because it was no longer ran by them.

But you know, this is now the opportunity for people to let the MPA think they won. Just let them think so. If they think so, they’ll give a little less of a shit. If we keep screaming to the high heavens about piracy, this shit will just continue.

Pfffft…if only.

What do I see them doing a lot of the time? “WHUT VPN SHULD I USE?!” asked like 1,000 fucking times a day. “WHERE SHULD I GU TO GET X FILE FROM Y SOURCE SINCE MY FAVORITE PLACE GOT SHUT DOWN? :(”

Legions of new pirates are lazy, entitled and think they’ve got the privilege to be spouting how much they think they should get for putting in as little as much work to get what they want. Always e-begging.

Linux to me is just an optional substitute of an OS, but it has yet to make it my primary day-to-day use. Linux isn’t going to make the problems I get aggravated with like the verification-hell we deal with, go away. It’s going to happen on both Windows or Linux regardless.

I have more patience when I give any laptop I get Linux, than I ever will should I decide to make Linux a primary OS of choice on my primary desktop machine. Because Linux does give me the whole ‘works out of the box’ feel with laptops than Windows would when it comes to driver hunting and I’m talking with old laptops, not newer ones where all of that is currently provided.
