Pretty sure GOG has similar terms, too. The difference is that they’re effectively unenforceable with the lack of DRM. But the “you’re only buying a licence to use the software” verbiage is pretty universal, and old at this point. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve got NES games somewhere with nearly identical phrasing in their manuals.
The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) is the name of the giant walker-type vehicles in Star Wars, shown in @[email protected]’s picture. OP’s picture says “yelled at at work”, which made our smooth brains go “heehee str war”
Oh good, I’m not the only one this brain-rotted to make the same connection.
That seems like a very unique and specifically-you scenario. I don’t think most people treat music as a competition like that, either on the consumption or creation sides.
My mom still has all of her mom’s old china from when she passed. It fills up an enormous, ugly, heavy cabinet that eats up a pretty significant chunk of the living room and doesn’t go with any of the other decor. I have never, in my nearly 40 years of existence, seen her use a single piece of it. It was always “for special occasions”, but we always went out for special occasions, so they still never got used.
I think she only keeps them because they were important to her mom, who inherited some of it from her mom, and possibly even further up the chain. I don’t think they’re even worth anything; she could maybe get a couple hundred bucks if she were to sell the whole collection, maybe a bit more if she got creative with the listing. There were times growing up where we were dirt broke and couldn’t even afford soap to wash a dish and ate dinner off of paper towels, and she still wouldn’t let anyone use the china. But it was important to those before her, so I think my mom just wants to preserve it in their memory.
Brother, your every comment in this thread has been a deflection, you haven’t provided a straight answer to anything. Nearly every response from you has been “but what about…”, shut the hell up lmao
Doesn’t rich presence already cover most of that without needing to handover this amount of perms to a third-party?
Yup! I have aphantasia (inability to mentally visualize things), so I had hoped that LSD would give me some really fun, trippy visuals that I was otherwise unable to come up with in my own head. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that, BUT instead what I experienced was seeing the colors of everything around me start to breathe. I don’t know how else to describe it than that; the objects themselves weren’t breathing, but the colors the objects were made of, were. It was like the colors would glow vibrantly and hold that glow for a moment, and then “exhale” with the colors fading out and around until the object was a dull, muted color. Then it would slowly brighten back up until it glowed again. Everything I looked at had its own unique rate of “breathing”, nothing was in sync.
Nobody else in my group had anything like that. They all talked about seeing geometric patterns, shape-shifting, heightened empathy, etc. My experience was way more mild compared to everybody else.
Also, while I didn’t have an intense visual experience, I did have a hard time focusing my eyes on anything, and everything was very blurry for a few hours. That made me feel very nauseous, so also be prepared for the possibility of throwing up, OP.
Why don’t you go ask 'em and find out? Instead of just using black people as an argumentative scapegoat, that is.
Grieving one’s death, and acknowledging that they have a horrible disease that will almost certainly lead them to a slow and painful death at their advanced age, are not the same thing.
The thing about cancer, is that it doesn’t care if you’re a good guy or a bad guy. Cancer is random. Cancer is nature’s Thanos-snap. One’s actions leading up to a diagnosis are largely irrelevant.
Cancer isn’t a punishment. Though the people in this thread who seem to think it is, or perhaps want it to be, are failing a basic empathy test as spectacularly as Trump just did.
Life must be simple without nuance.
No. Basic respect for the life of your fellow human is intrinsic. Nobody should have to earn the right to live, jackass.
Yeah and the other guy rapes children. What’s the point of comparison in this scenario?
I can’t wait until the pedophile nazi king dies.
Yeah, I’m not so sure that ignorance is the best option when dealing with fascists.
It’s not a new requirement, tho. 10M Shorts views over 90 days is already one of the requirements to enable monetization in the first place.
It doesn’t. This is just adding more money to creators who reach certain tiers of engagement. This doesn’t make it any harder for new channels to earn.
The change that made it harder for new channels happened years ago, back in 2018 after the adpocalypse fallout when they increased the watch time requirements and removed a bunch of channels from YPP.
It doesn’t ship with GrapheneOS.
