monopolies are the same as dictators, generally really bad, but a great dictator can get so much shit done and change things for the better much faster than great democracy could (i’m not dictator-apologising here, i’ll take democracy any day, just stating a fact here)

yea me too, but i suppose in a world with as many variables as ours it’s hard to find “rules” to cling on, so it’s a collective cope for that particular quirk of life lol

you can permanently prettify it and sell all your stuff at the uh, forgot the name, but the one stand trader that accepts everything and has its own deck to make the booty transfer faster! (though idk if it’s still exclusive to captained ships? i haven’t played in a while)

exceptions prove the rule!

RIP ship captain’s pockets

(unless you’re long past playing for the gold or you’re sailing an uncaptained one)

for a sample of such madness please try arguing with someone about a topic you’re very familiar with, and they clearly know fuck all about but refuse to learn or listen to anybody but themselves and their echo chamber!

there’s also been something about cats from Ohio? I have no idea what that is about

it’s absolutely fantastic, my friends and i joined a steam family and they finally have 0 excuses to not play the games i’ve been recommending them for year (and neither do i)

nonono, that’s the point, you don’t have to be an expert to notice that. In fact, you can be pretty stupid and still notice that rather easily

more and more people are beginning to notice. In the years past the ruling class at least tried to be subtle, but as their arrogance rises the masks are coming off, let’s hope we still have the spirit of the french, because the wage gap charts are starting to look oddly similar

that line sure is making it so the production company gets 95% of the profits.

Well, they’re negligible enough that the fact they exist wasn’t covered anywhere during my filmmaking degree, and i took all the extra business/law modules :')

And it was just the writers & actors right? What about all the editors, audio mixers, audio recorders, camera men, gaffers? riggers, vfx people, script supervisors, storyboard artists, props & costumes department, even runners! There’s just so much work to be done by so many people to bring a script to life, and we’re yet to hear of an editor/camera op/runner who lucked out by being a part of an accidentally famous billion dollar film and then never had to work again. Apart from producers, directors, actors, and writers sometimes - everyone’s work, though essential for audio visual media to exist, is rarely rewarded with a share of the profits it makes

Nebula has been slowly surpassing just “rebranded youtube content” so to speak. They’ve started financing films and plays like for Abigail Thorn, and they’re still true to their founding ethos. It’s no longer just higher quality youtube content, and i do hope to see them one day become more widely known and popular

i don’t think pointing out how it only has purely artificial sweeteners makes it better in any way

yeah that makes perfect sense.

non-medical professionals should not care about DNR orders, bracelets, whatevers. Because what if it’s fake and you can’t tell the difference from a real one? You could, unknowingly, help someone commit a murder, or let a temporarily unstable person die, sure you’d be innocent, but guilt and trauma doesn’t care about your innocence

not to psychoanalise someone’s accidental journal/art project but perhaps the daily showcase of what they’re doing is pushing them to add more variety to their game choices?

I sure know if I were to decide to post a screenshot a day I probably would have more varied game choices than normal. Even if it’s a funny thing you do online the mere act of showing it to others adds a layer of performance, and it’d be a very boring performance to show myself playing picross touch or sudokucube 7 days in a row

and let’s not forget that piracy still allows for the most powerful form of advertisement - word of mouth. You might’ve not paid to watch something, but if it was good and you recommended it to your friends, they might!

back in the old Internet days the music studio Two Steps From Hell gained popularity nearly exclusively through piracy. I’m not even sure if they sold any albums before the widespread reupload of their music happened. I myself found out about them from a long deleted anime music video. And I have since bought several of their CDs and saw them live in Europe (after fans have begged them for nearly a decade to go on a tour). Would I have known they even existed if their music wasn’t spreading like illegal wildfire in the early 2010s? probably not, which would be a shame because they’re one of my all time favourite band-thingies idk how to call them

Pepsi max on the other hand testes like a mix of various household chemicals with sugar and a little vomit

i don’t have the slightest clue why people enjoy that “flavour”

not always, i’m currently ignorant of the world news, i made the choice to become ignorant becuase my own head is making me sad enough, and i do not need the aid of 20 daily articles about mass killings of babies, oppressing minorities, or whatever bullshit the US is up to this week
