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.

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.

At some point, all consoles will be retro consoles :p

!Gameboy Advance, just so many great games I’m still to play!<

Sort of, the metro line started with Epping to Chatswood (that’s how I see it anyway) which to be fair is still fairly rich. You’re right that north Sydney to brangaroo are like the rich rich area.

There is more lines coming though, one from Westmead (west) to the city, and another way further west (st Mary’s) to the new airport line.

You’re right though, that west doesn’t always get the best. And as someone who used to work city to Chatswood the train was typically better and less issues then when I worked out west (Parra).

Mass effect

Tried it twice and thought it was soooo boring. Then one day I figured I’d give it a final go and omg I fell in love with the whole franchise.

Eh you spend your whole life getting away with anything because you have the money, you end up starting to believe your own bullshit.

One of the reasons so many people are rich is because they make money off the smart or the hard working. You never do the work yourself because you legitimately aren’t the best person for the job.

I think Elon bought in too much during the wave of “I’m a tech genius who put a car in space, make electric cars and spaceships” and I think he actually believes he did that instead of the countless and thankless hours of all the real professionals.

The problem with this thinking, is now he feels like he ^needs to do something. Just like that micromanaging boss who doesn’t help at all and just spouts random nonsense thinking it will magically make it go faster. But instead he’s just self sabotaging the process.

This is what happens when you start to believe your own bullshit. If he was smart, he should walk away and let the professionals handle it.

Whoooaa talking about the NES for me it was always “Castlevania” and “legends of Zelda II”, gawd damn they were so difficult when I was a child.

Tbf you didn’t say video game :p so basketball was another, used to think I was so Kool playing it. But dayumn did I suck at it.

Current day would probably be call of duty, I always think I’m gonna slay, then I get killed an call it bullshit >!but I know it’s not bullshit, it was me!<
