This is like the nile red videos where hes like "plastic gloves are essentially grape fruit" and then proceeds to make it.

There's a few things about this

  1. Many times you don't own the digital good, you subscribe to it. No I'm not joking, that's why services can usually take it away at any time. You normally own "a licence to play it on a single PC" or similar.
  2. This isnt apples to oranges per se. Selling digital goods is fine, it's copying it. Similar to how photocopying a book and selling it would not be okay.
  3. It's important to note there is a narrative push by companies too. They spend lots of money putting videos on every DVD saying "downloading is stealing" because if society thinks piracy and stealing is the same, it helps them litigate and make more money.
  4. Your idea of a lost sale is a hard one, from a media company point of view, it's about making money. So if you can make people believe "a download is a lost sale" or "sharing a digital file is a lot sale" etc, then you can use that to sue individuals, isps, sharing sites, search engines etc and make more and more money while also having more power over your product.

Lol I did not expect to see fucking Whyalla on here. Do a beachey! (They literally drive to the beach and back home LOL).

I always recommend connected airline when going through Alice/Whyalla because a fuck load of flights have been removed (rex?) and the Alice run was one of the typical ones Qantas allegedly was selling tickets for when no flight existed (and they'd swap you onto another one).

Was in Centrelink, the courses are typically "how to write a resume" or "how to do a job search", typically something quite generic and usually simple as it needs to cover all walks in life.

You typically aren't told that you can sometimes apply for actual courses because it seems like their goal/kpi is based on getting any job asap not on you studying for the next 6 months.

I have this habit too, it's like a thought bubble in my head that adds context on top of the original sentence. I wonder if it's a trait for something but never thought it might be programming related.

Honestly I feel like that's probably just to save cost from getting multiple takes of the same audio. Make it generic where possible.

But I do feel the pronoun is similar to my character design. Something I chose at the beginning of the game, and hardly noticed ever again.

I thought it was hilarious to be honest. The game spent so long telling me about how anything goes in Neon, and how it's such a crazy place and people can do anything like some party planet. And astral lounge to be the Pinacle of that party planet full of possible debauchery.

I legit took my time before going there for an interesting crazy reveal.

And it's just some random place with neon signs and a club that is less risque then walking down the street.

End of the day it kind of comes down to you. We're typically trying to choose between privacy and functionality to get a good balance. But many companies have realised that they can wear you down if they try.

Think of the cookies law, it's meant to make sure you can easily stop websites from using cookies to track you if that is your decision. Instead companies make it so toxic and hard that most people just click accept.

For me, I'm even more likely to use blocks on websites that try to get around it, because I thinkt they deserve revenue even less. But for you it might make a world of difference to just be able to open up a page without hassle and be less annoying then an actual ad.
