One of my favorite episodes so far this season! The comedy of drunk, over-confident Aqua combined with useless, fawning Megumin leaves poor Darkness trying to handle things solo. Second favorite bit was ol’ Kazuma ready to fall (literally) on the sword just to save face with Iris. And what a cute ending!
Analyst at Motley Fool?
I think he’s trying to refute your claim that your will isn’t free. I.e. you made that comment of your own free will. Not literally asking why you made the comment.
If anyone hasn’t tried Mashlee yet, give it a go! Hilarious! Try the first episode, and you’ll assuredly know if it’s for you or not
I’m putting in for Spiderman Remastered! It’s the next game on my list when I finish Stardew Valley. Thanks for doing this, excellent community building!
I mean that’s not really true. The new FTC chair literally got the position by writing a paper on why Amazon should be broken up, and has raised numerous cases to stop recent M&A activity. One Meta/FB acquisition of a VR company, the Microsoft Blizzard/Activision buyout, among others. They’ve been shut down a lot by the courts.
Really wanna buy Dave the Diver, but still need to get myself together and finish Tears of the Kingdom
Why is there an added U in Iqueland?
Yeah this is insane for me to read. I’ll say it’s about 8pm-2am for me that the world is all quiet and everything is just peaceful. I’ve had some of my best ideas and made many life decisions in these hours.
Thank you for making these! They are very enjoyable, and I’m always delighted when a new one comes across my feed!
Are there any good Lemmy golf communities? I kinda miss r/golf
That was a fun read! Thank you for finding and sharing
Sorry man, best of luck. Mental health problems have become an epidemic.
I disagree with your view on IP, at least for pharmaceuticals. For most drugs, the exclusivity period is only 5 years, after which generic companies reverse engineer the product with ease and create a low-cost alternative. Without this period allowing pharma companies to make their money, there’d be no reason to invest the billions upon billions of dollars into R&D to discover and develop the drug in the first place. Most drug candidates fail, and the wins are what prop up the whole industry.
I’m not defending price gouging and I think all governments should control pricing, preferably with a single payer system (looking at you USA), but we would be so much further behind without patent protection. Especially for orphan diseases.
Don’t really agree with you on IP for most creative purposes either. There should be a reasonable length of time you get exclusive rights to something you create. But this doesn’t excuse Disney’s stranglehold on the mouse.
Is Yelp really so dead that you’d use whatever that app is instead of it?
I was definitely in grade school in the '00s, but this is all foreign to me. For me I’d say it was Axe body spray (or the many knockoffs), Uggs, Heelys, TVs in the back of their parent’s car’s front headrests, having their own TiVo, and LaCroix.
The Wallstreet Journal did a really good podcast interviewing Kenyans who worked for Sama on this particular engagement. Most of them said it affected their lives deeply, one said his wife almost left him as he just “wasn’t the person she’d married”. I think she ended up coming back after he quit at least, but yeesh. Another said he pulled away from his young daughter after reading prompts about child sexual abuse. Can you imagine that level of mental health hit?
