You were still buying a license to play the games.

Iirc it’s an echo location thing.

Sells licenses.

You’ve never owned your games. It’s always been a license to play the games. It’s just that now they have the ability to enforce it.

That’s actually why. You have to drain the power from the circuits.

Actually, both are true. There’s not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it’s such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There’s no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I’m not disparaging the people who can’t spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.

They didn’t have a pediatric orthopedist there, and for some reason that was necessary for a broken arm.

Jesus would beat modern Christians to death with his bare hands. I guess that’s why he’s supposed to be wrathful when he returns.

Prohibition has worked really well in the US before.

I think if a company is going to dump millions into developing a new product, they should be able to at least recoup the investment they made.

This happened to me, but from catching myself when I fell skating.

It didn’t hurt at all until I wondered why my wrist wouldn’t rotate and looked down. I saw this, then it started to hurt.

The best part was the skating rink trying to get me to retroactively sign a liability waiver, and me telling them I broke my dominant arm (I didn’t).

Well, the best part was the hospital refusing to set it, then the orthopedist refusing to belive the hospital didn’t set it, so I had to have it surgically set a week later.

I’m about to start wearing my kilt in the rural south. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

Genies are slaves, so that would probably be a step up.
