Have you gazed into an abyss long enough to have the abyss gaze back into you, without becoming endlessly lost in said abyss? Congrats, you’re now team lead on the abyss project.

Shit I might die

Damn I might think I’m dying (and maybe not even remember)

Time distortion
Sleepiness

I mean… what would you trade for a superpower and a good night’s sleep?

Are there any instances of a 3rd party making digital copies of games available and paying some licensing fee back to the copyright holders? Something akin to how book libraries handle ebooks?

Maybe Steam falls in this category a bit, but I’m thinking something more exhaustive and focused on games that are otherwise out of production.

Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:

• Service providers (Comcast, Charter, Cox)
• Entertainment (Disney, AMC, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery
• Those connected to advertising (Google, Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Vizio, the NFL)
• Home security (ADT)

I also sorta had a moment of perhaps morbid curiosity about this one.

Do they simply have an extraordinary sense of entitlement? A strong belief that getting ahead means being clever about working the system? A philosophical commitment to fringe ideas of what it means to be a person in society?

Or are traffic citations that much of a nuisance that you’ll do anything to get out of them? A lot of the posts I see here seem to focus on transportation / driving.

Wow, today I learned. Thanks for sharing.

This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn’t there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record

I’m not sure I get it.

As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.

Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.
