back in the 90s there was a couple times lakes in western PA/NY froze over enough people were out driving on them.

“We are looking into a way to turn this into multiple subscription services focused on getting you to gamble that will be allowed in our primary markets.”

It has been a long time since most of those places have been cold enough, long enough, to have a lake become that solidly frozen. It has been 30+ years since I have seen this happen in the mid atlantic.

A law doesn’t have to be effective for its stated purpose. If the law allows them to have more control over the internet, bypass rights, etc. it is an effective law for them.

Probably didn’t have them on the app profile. She liked how he looked, and he may have approached her profile/responded to her message, in a way that socially acceptable to her, and nothing on his profile was a red flag to what she was looking for, so she agreed to meet him for coffee. Then, upon being told his hobbies are watching anime, and he has playing a video game, she lost interest, not what she was looking for though he was otherwise acceptable.

If you have been watching, the courts have been making rulings to liberalize gun ownership, and carry/use laws. Simultaneously they have been making rulings that have been making it easier, and easier, for cops to basically use this liberal state of gun rights as a reason to treat everyone as a lethal threat, and basically disregard a lot of your rights, like the 4th, and 5th, if they even think you have a gun. There is a blanket reason to disregard constitutional protections being crafted here.

i mean, he is an anon.

Yeah, years ago I was living in a house with a room mate. behind/below the stairs that ended at the front door was a small hall between a general room and the kitchen. We watched his his sister’s dogs for a few days, a great dane and a bernese. Big, but well trained, lovable, lunks.

One day I am on my way home and he calls to ask if I can swing by his work and pick him up. We get home and enter the house. It looked like something out of a horror movie. Large streaks of blood splattered on EVERYTHING. The dogs are already greeting us and seem fine. We see his cat at the top of the stairs, looks just fine. We walk all over the house looking for what the fuck happened. Eventually we have to stop to let the dog out, on their way out the door my room mate noticed the dark gray fur on the dane’s tail was matted with something. It was scabbing.

We checked out cameras and he spent almost 3 hours walking back, and forth, through that hall just wailing on the walls with his damned tail. It began bleeding and he was just slinging blood everywhere he went.

I mean, if you’re gonna use a hammer for building IKEA furniture, instead of hamming, like hammers are clearly designed for, it’s your own fault.

man, imagine thinking having friends has no survival value, if you didn’t know Lewis’ family was well off, this would make it obvious.

yeah, it reads like a lot of the various other people who have infiltrated such groups throughout history.

I don’t. I watched a breakdown from a lawyer on youtube when it was first posted, but I have searched and not found that video. It was just a recommended. Though I can’t imagine there is no record of what is going on. Basically, when they are shutting down the servers, they are patching out the ability to host, which is lame, and they don’t even have the tenuous argument of it really being competition like WoW did.

I would buy it just for the free kid-shippil

The Las Vegas tourism board literally warns big players that when traveling to LV with large amounts of cash, avoid x states, do not fly, keep the money in a locked box, and do not answer any police questions about it, but primarily that they will have specific facilities in the casinos to allow large cash withdrawals and will work with your bank to claim the money within their terms, after they have made sure you have the funds to be withdrawn. then front you the cash.

they aren’t just turning the servers off, while there is part of the suit due to advertised promise vs what happened, the second point is they literally pushed an update that made running the software on your own, private, server, impossible. The point is that the game companies are making it so you are not able to do what you want with it. This is just one suit that is fighting for structures that protect you owning what you buy. It is multifaceted, from right to repair, to right to use software you purchase in any personal way you like. there is a broad, multi-industry, movement to make all products a “service”. Software was one of the first, and currently the largest, set of industries that do this. From single player video games needing to contact a company server just to start, to features of your car, house, and appliances requiring continuous payment schemes, where they can just deny access, even though you paid for them. It has gone on for along time, and now the mainstream population is being affected, and some are fighting back.

I am clearly on the side of you own what you pay for. They don’t owe you servers, updates, etc. They owe you being able to do those things, for your own purposes (ie not commercial), and not disabling everything when they no longer feel like putting resources into it.

They will just have to stick to advertised timelines, and allow people to use that software, as they please, after they stop supporting it. I do not see how this is unfair.

Just West Virginia things

I mean they started shutting it down 9 years ago, it isn’t new, so it isn’t really news now

Point was, this is about making it so they don’t have the option to do this anymore, with the legal system.

They did, but that was 9 years ago, so you might not remember. However it was not as popular a movement yet, so they didn’t get the same backlash as people are getting almost 10 years later, when everyone is sick of this. You are right, they can pull their own product if they want to, now. The goal is to make it so they can’t just do that if they want to, anymore.

This is clearly some sort of native american origin horror
