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.

Lol I did not expect to see fucking Whyalla on here. Do a beachey! (They literally drive to the beach and back home LOL).

I always recommend connected airline when going through Alice/Whyalla because a fuck load of flights have been removed (rex?) and the Alice run was one of the typical ones Qantas allegedly was selling tickets for when no flight existed (and they'd swap you onto another one).

Was in Centrelink, the courses are typically "how to write a resume" or "how to do a job search", typically something quite generic and usually simple as it needs to cover all walks in life.

You typically aren't told that you can sometimes apply for actual courses because it seems like their goal/kpi is based on getting any job asap not on you studying for the next 6 months.

End of the day it kind of comes down to you. We're typically trying to choose between privacy and functionality to get a good balance. But many companies have realised that they can wear you down if they try.

Think of the cookies law, it's meant to make sure you can easily stop websites from using cookies to track you if that is your decision. Instead companies make it so toxic and hard that most people just click accept.

For me, I'm even more likely to use blocks on websites that try to get around it, because I thinkt they deserve revenue even less. But for you it might make a world of difference to just be able to open up a page without hassle and be less annoying then an actual ad.

He's the one who put up the flyer (hammered the flyer up with a nail)

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.
