The same thing except you then have to pay for the disk, distribution and worry about stock and so on.

until you have a library that you can rent games for free close to you.

It’s called a torrenting client

In the west there are laws about public indecency which legislate what people may wear outside and these rules demand women wear shirts but do not demand the same of men.

In some western countries, there are ones that do not make a distinction

The law covers that also. All visible religious garments are forbidden.

“The law in it’s great magnanimity prohibits poor and rich alike from sleeping under bridges and stealing bread.”.

A law can be applied equally to everyone and still target a specific group of people.

I had a similar experience. Loved it then, like it even more now.

A person is their experiences though, the meat shell on its own can’t ever become the person killed without experiencing life in the exact same way and at the same time as the previous one.

Plenty of outspoken state critics have had the CIA’s highest reward for investigative journalism administered cranially.

The more sophisticated the system, the more sophisticated your method must be to break it. Eventually the means to break it will grow out of the reach of guerilla movements

It’s a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Geneva conventions and the laws of war didn’t exist at the time.

It can’t be that people are organically wanting to talk about a recently released triple A game by an old and relatively beloved game studio. They must be paid actors.

I’m not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world’s largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as “not cutting corners”. That’s surely going above and beyond.

That’s 4x higher than car related deaths per number of car owners, and cars require a license and insurance, and doing something dangerous with one can have you lose your right to use it permanently.

Cars have the additional factor that they are practically required for living in the US, so reasonably we would be willing to accept a higher number of deaths than we would otherwise for other objects.

There will of course be different sources of information, but that does not mean that they will present a fair and balanced spread of ideas. The capitalist class will push their own interests. A single owner is not required for that to occur

Under capitalism, the capitalist class controls the media, and can use their wealth to control the political class.

A democracy can only make choices so far as it’s voters are informed, and when a group controls most sources of information, it can control the democracy as a whole.

I don’t know why, but that’s disgusting

That’s a misrepresentation of old English. Man used to be neutral, and was modified by were and wif respectively for man and woman. Wife comes from woman, not the other way around.

It’s not weird that it specifies a computer program, the use of the term to mean the standard option comes from computing. It’s the value chosen when the computer defaults, as in fails to pay it’s debt (in this case debt being the value it was looking for).

I don’t think there’s any evidence to suggest that people prefer meat because it’s the default option and not the other way around.

Old Zealand is in Denmark

You could, but the only reason to do so would be to accommodate a small minority’s ethical dietary decisions, which is the opposite of a default.

No one’s going to chose the slop so there’s no point in having it.

As for subway, their menu is largely determined by sales. They do trial other options occasionally, and the ones that are popular stay.
