IP? Do you mean imaginary property? If so, I agree. I think that ideas and culture should be shared. I understand the stated goal (protect individual inventors from being exploited by huge corporations) but that’s not how it’s played out. It’s used as a tool of control by powerful companies to stifle innovation. Ask any 3d printer hobbyist if they like stratysus. (I effing hate them) there should be some mechanism to protect inventors but this isn’t it.

I was on board until I saw Jared Leto.

Books. Multiple.

The Practice Effect by David Brin. It’s an isekai (it’s not anime, but it’s an isekai) where things get MORE useful when you use them, reversing entropy.

Sentenced to Prism. MC is sent on a mission to a world inhabited by silicate based life forms. Shenanigans ensue. Mildly autistic coded MC.

Resurrection Inc. The dead are resurrected as mindless zombie robots. Sometimes it goes wrong and the dead regain their memories. The MC does. Hijinks ensue.

edit - more

Mistborn Chronicles - an orphan gets super powers in a very messed up world. A group recruits her for a heist.

Lemmy more. The default comment sorting means there’s a chance that my comment will be at the top and therefore discussion can happen. On reddit, past a certain amount of comments, I don’t bother. No one will see it.

I still remember when blizzard made guitar hero bard class. The community loved it and wanted it to be real.

Weird. I didn’t see it myself and the “cross posted to” didn’t have it listed.

Tell my grandfather to get his heart checked out. He died too young. I’d love to see just how much sense he’d beat into my father, who is a complete garbage can of a person.

I like to leave the article title as is, but then add the game afterwards “clickbait description here (actual game title)”

I love them but the limited call is and can’t reload makes me skip them.

The factory must grow

That sounds like one of my parents. They are a narcissist.

They’re doing it to save face and appear nice. They know they rules of society and push them as far as they can to gain advantage. If they know that being mean to you gets the same results as being nice, they will be mean.

Lemmy is cheaper. Some don’t have health insurance or do but it’s garbage tier insurance.

The “work yourself to death” is a stupid boomer concept. It’s a hugely negative aspect of traditional masculinity.

When people say weird stuff like this, I always question why. Why would you have a kid and then work so hard to be away from it? Why would you work for a company that will lay you off the moment it earns them a higher stock price to do so? (no modern company deserves your loyalty.) Why would you brag about suffering instead of relaxing?

I understand that we’re all wired differently but those values literally don’t make sense to me.

And even at night the church bells go on and on,

Is there a noise law in your town? Night bells seem problematic.

This is an ml community. Anything that praises the USA or normalizes it (that is, reducing the awfulness) is gonna get down votes.

I wish. No one IRL treats me like this. Everyone’s eyes glaze over or they freak out. There is no support.

Every vote counts. For Democracy!

This is my life story. Every day, I understand more and get closer to “old man lives alone with his dog in the woods”

Oooh this may be it. I’ve been told before that I do this. (the first paragraph)

Mine wasn’t animated but same glitch text. Goes away by scrolling up and down.
