- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
I can see why parents are so long when you need to build like a billion dollar factory to make a product and mass produce it.
Digital concepts don’t take that much investment and once you have it you don’t need to invest in making more, it’s just there.
So yes, digital patents should be a fraction of the time that physical patents should be. Like 2 years instead of 20.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
How is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn’t under patent?
Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.

- Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them... 1 week ago:
You still need a rule, but just don’t be lazy and have a blanket rule. Instead of always have a hard hat, just say hard hats required if there are any objects on site withing 30 feet that are above 6’ or something.
If a business doesn’t buy hard hats because it only applies some of the time, then fine then when people aren’t wearing hard hats when there are objects within 30 feet of working that’s are higher than 6’.
My business works In one area for 30 minutes every 2 weeks that requires a hard hat. The rest of the time it isn’t required. We still provide the hard hats. But expecting employees to wear them everywhere else is ridiculous.
- Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them... 1 week ago:
I’m all for safety regulations and laws, but I also understand why people are frustrated with them.
People writing the laws or corporate policies are incredibly lazy and just copy paste a bunch of stuff to where it’s not really required imo.
Like workcrews must always have a hardhat on. Then there are landscapers working in a garden pulling weeds even if there are no trees for miles. What’s going to happen? A tornado throws a rake at your head?
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 2 weeks ago:
When the only other option is to take someone’s license away and they can’t work anymore it makes it difficult. Another option that forces people to obey the law would help everyone.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 2 weeks ago:
Repeat speeders should need to have speed limiters installed on their vehicles.
Someone I know speeds all the fucking time and constantly gets tickets but fights every single one because he knows the cops probably won’t show up and he keeps his license. He just says he needs his licence to work and the judge takes pity and gives the fine but not the points which would take the license away. Wasted court time and he is never going to not speed… Even if his license were taken away I bet he would just drive without one.

It drives me insane when I randomly get Microsoft telling me to finish setting up my PC like 5 years into owning it and all its trying to do is get me to reset my default browser to edge. Fucking annoying as shit.

There really should be some sort of industrial standard for journalism. Like a lawyer needs to pass the bar exam and be in good standing or be disbarred, a journalist should have to be licensed or recognized and if they are shown to be spreading falsehoods or doing other unethical things have their license revoked.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 3 weeks ago:
I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.
It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system
- Comment on I hope she found herself 4 weeks ago:
I think I’m one. Tried weed multiple times in different types but never had any sort of experience let alone enjoyable one. Smoke a joint, just get sore lungs. Eat edibles? Bleh, just a gross tasting candy.
Only time I felt anything was after a 50mg gummy, and that was just a bit of light headedness for a half hour.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
The problem I mostly have is even when those costs are recouped most companies fight tooth and nail to keep the prices high and unaffordable in order to line the pockets of investors.

So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?
- Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it. 5 weeks ago:
Why is that a problem? It gets rid of bias and would actually help minorities defeat bias in the court and get a more fair judgement.

Yeah honestly I don’t see a problem with this. If it’s his own words why does it matter if it’s AI speaking or himself? Even if it’s not his own words, he could just as easily say the same shit on camera, why does the person in the video needs to be him?

- Comment on Why DO credit card companies make a stink about adult content anyway? 1 month ago:
I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.
Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 month ago:
I hate Reddit, and I hate discord.
I am using discord for a discussion thread of one thing which follows a serial webnovel and it’s infuriating because when something new happens there’s always a constant influx of people asking the same questions because there is no way to pin or highlight pertinent information and no one is going to go scrolling through a million messages searching for the first time the question was asked and answered.
Discussion threads! Not chat messages!

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 2 months ago:
People need to stop thinking about property like it’s any other regular thing like a vehicle.
Land is not a thing it is a limited resource.
If someone owns a piece of land in a city it doesn’t matter what they are currently doing with it, even if they do nothing with it, that’s wasting potential that someone else could be doing with it and affects everyone around that piece of land.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 2 months ago:
It doesn’t make sense that cities need to increase property taxes every year though
Property tax revenue should be increasing every year by default without changing the rate simply because houses and properties increase in value every year typically
If property tax is 5% and the town makes $100,000,000, the next year if property value increases by 5% then their revenue goes up 5% as well to $105,000,000 automatically. Why do they need to also increase the tax to 6%?
