But then they don’t get money, and they really like getting money.
reads a request… doesn’t care… is American 🇺🇸
You are right you can’t steal something that is not ownable, but paying for the game is what allows you to play so playing without stealing is still breaking their rules. Instead of buy to own they made it pay to play. But that sucks so fuck them anyway

Tap for spoiler
As the battle raged on, the dancers quickly realized that brute strength wouldn’t win the day against the cunning velociraptors. They gathered in a huddle, their breaths heavy but focused, and devised a plan that combined their agility with the environment around them.
With a signal from their leader, the dancers split into two groups. One group began to perform a mesmerizing routine, their movements fluid and captivating, drawing the raptors’ attention. The dancers twirled and leaped, creating a dazzling display of artistry that momentarily distracted the predators.
Meanwhile, the second group stealthily maneuvered through the underbrush, using their knowledge of the terrain to set up traps. They fashioned makeshift barriers from fallen branches and vines, creating obstacles that would slow down the raptors. As the first group continued their performance, the raptors, intrigued and confused, began to approach, their instincts battling with curiosity.
Just as the raptors lunged forward, the second group sprang into action. They executed a series of swift, coordinated movements, leading the raptors into the traps they had set. The dancers used their agility to dart around the raptors, guiding them into a clearing where the traps were hidden.
With a final, breathtaking leap, the lead dancer executed a perfect pirouette, signaling the end of the performance. The raptors, now caught in the cleverly laid traps, were unable to pursue any further. The dancers stood together, breathless but triumphant, as the sun began to rise, casting a golden light over the scene.
In that moment, they realized that their strength lay not just in their physical abilities, but in their creativity, teamwork, and the power of art to overcome even the most formidable challenges. As they took a bow, the raptors, now subdued, seemed to acknowledge their respect for the dancers’ skill, and the two worlds—art and nature—found a moment of harmony.
And with that, the dream faded, leaving behind a sense of wonder and the thrill of an epic battle won through ingenuity and grace.
Is this a zero sum sum? So more 10 billion for canada is 10 less billion for usa?
Colossal is claiming that three genetically modified grey wolf pups – two males called Remus and Romulus born in October, and a female called Khaleesi born in January – are in fact dire wolves.
Those names say so much about the company culture already.
Replace sailor with user and you’re spot on. Instead of selling intimacy we sell our attention in exchange for content.
100% better
If a product wouldn’t sell if it isn’t heavily marketed I’d agree it doesn’t need to exist. But if a product is paid for by advertising other products, that is a different story. Newspapers have had advertising for ages because of the high cost of running a newspaper, many tv-channels wouldn’t be able to exist on a subscription basis. Same goes for a lot of websites online. Also no more free porn (not legally at least). Advertising pays for a lot of things in our society. I’m not saying this is a good thing, but this system cannot be changed overnight.
Another part of the problem I haven’t read in the comments is all the companies that rely on advertising to exist, especially media companies. Many newspapers, magazines, websites, TV channels etc would go bankrupt if they couldn’t earn money with advertising. There is a simple solution because we can ‘just pay them’ but I’m afraid we won’t. People hate advertising (someone commented “advertising is violence”, that really says it all), but still many of us choose to not get the subscription but use the ‘free’ option instead.
I’m not against banning all advertising, but I think working towards more peaceful advertising might be fruitful. Banning advertising of tabacco products and having disclaimers when financial and medical products show this can be done.
“advertising is violence” says so much about how we (the world) allow companies to behave.
I agree, as in many more cases it is better to regulate than it is to forbid. Companies and consumers will find a way.
You can and should make the distinction between being paid to advertise something and sharing information based on your believes. There is such a thing as free marketing and I agree you cannot ban that, but you can ban paid advertising in a similar way as paid sex is banned in many places across the world.
The article is about paid advertising. Paying someone to spread your opinion is in my eyes very different than telling someone about your opinion and trying to persuade that person to agree with you.
Yeah totally, but it makes looking at his work less fun than it used to be. Probably will be like that the next time I see a Ghibli film.

I know right, I’m surprised there are so many people here who don’t appear to get that. If I look at the image I assume the seller of this pair of shoes just slapped a buzzword on but vegan shoes and clothing are a thing and since when is everything that is not vegan carnivorous? Cheese and honey are also neither, right.
