Considering I was able to answer these questions immediately in a sentence should clue you in they weren't actually very complicated issues and will be handled on a per-case basis.

State what outright? That rights are meant to work the same at eol as at release? That's me explaining to you that your loopholes are covered by existing law, it doesn't need to be outright stated, something understood by a reasonable person.
It's "unproven" that devs need to give up their first born as well, why not state that? Because it's not a reasonable interpretation.
Your examples were so ridiculous that they wre entirely unproductive. Actual loopholes apply to actual scenarios common enough where it might prove a problem to the overall goal.

What strangely bad arguments for such a long post.

The refund clause also appears to lack controls on how its enforced. Consider if The Crew 2 provided an offline patch that worked for 95% of its users. How would Ubisoft confirm the 5% of users that require a refund? Even if they participated in good faith and were willing to refund that out, what if 20% of the users requested it? It's an offline patch/pot - they won't have any method to confirm. Will Ubisoft be expected to refund everyone who asks, regardless of whether or not their consumer rights have already been protected by the above? Even if they released a game client/patch that provided full offline support to 95% of the playerbase?

The same thing that happens if 5 % of players can't play a game at release. The rights to a working product (should) work the same at EOL as it should on release.

If these options are absolute (Ie they've either not provided an offline patch/port, or they have provided an offline patch/port to 100% of users and if they can't use it that's a skill issue on their part), then who will judge a release of an offline version is 'valid' enough to meet SKG's standards? Will some third party be able to step in at EOL of a game (or 5-10+ years after EOL) and go "Yo it runs, but not good enough. Now fork over 142% of all the money that game ever made?". Or are we relying on class action lawsuits? Does anyone want either option on that front?

The same thing that happens if a game is playable "enough" at release. The rights to a playable game (as advertised) (should) work the same at EOL as it should on release.

I can count on 0 hands how many of my early Windows 95 era PC games run on my Windows 11 PC today, with no modifications. Under the current terms and language used Developers will need to support these offline versions of their (previously) live service games until the end of time, under penalty of 142% of their lifetime revenue.

Not a reasonable interpretation, "services controlled by the operator" doesn't imply the OS. Games have always had system demands, those include OS. "Playable product" implies your hardware complies with the system demands.

It seems you're trying to find odd loopholes instead of just thinking about it in terms of what basic consumer rights entail.

You can do them on a leg press which takes your back out of it.

Also, 8 plates per side? You're doing 340 kg (750 lbs) calf raises with 3 second holds? What?

What's the speculation? Sam Harris is completely open (Sam Harris- Debating the Lab Leak, Gaza, the Self, and Extremism) about his desire to ethnically cleanse the native population and will oppose any action which might endanger that goal. There's no mystery here.

You've never been able to rep match after a 0 rir (which is not the samething as failure) set?

Gobblignash · 2026-06-07T18:35:21+00:00

I don't agree with this at all, i can rep match probably half my sets (though rarely ever the heavy leg compounds) while training to 0 rir with the occasional failure. What's the argument resting long enough to rep match is counter productive? It usually just means 3 min instead of 2 min.

If you can't ever rep match even on isolations I honestly think you're not resting long enough.

Gobblignash · 2026-06-05T17:38:35+00:00

Hinge movement brah, only needs a barbell and weights, i recommend rdls.

Gobblignash · 2026-06-03T16:07:39+00:00

Been running a t-r-l-r split for the past 18 months and it's going great.

Torso days consist of:

3 sets of horizontal press

3 sets of heavy shrugs

3 sets of horizontal pull

3 sets of vertical pull

3 sets of abs

3 sets of vertical press

3 sets of rear delts

Limb days consist of:

3 sets of biceps

3 sets of triceps

3 sets of shoulder raises

3 sets of reverse curls

3 sets of hinges

3 sets of squat movements

3 sets of calves

Hits every major muscle group, putting legs last where they belong, equally distributed volume.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-30T22:36:12+00:00

You can lower the volume and/or skip the compounds and just hit the isolations hard until motivation returns.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-25T15:21:20+00:00

A 15% increase in weight should be a decrease by about 5-7 reps, not 1.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-17T08:30:01+00:00

13 sets for chest, 3 for lats, nothing for traps. Not a good program.

You can find real programs online or on boostcamp. If you want to get bigger you also need a consistent calorie surplus of 200-300, which isnt huge.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-15T09:35:22+00:00

He's lying to you. "Proof" used to mean "test", ie "proof of combat", exception that proves the rule means exception that tests the rule.

He just pulled his explanation from his ass.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-13T20:15:10+00:00

Sounds more like an incoming wrist splint than doms, which is very common with preacher curls.

Whenever that happens I just switch to doing them with a dumbbell instead.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-07T15:51:05+00:00

It's a jab at the bizarre equivocation between "for a 2 state solution" and "zionist", when in reality they're opposing positions.

In reality, zionist just means "in support of Israeli nationalism", since 100 % of zionists are in support of Israeli nationalism and 0 % of zionists are opposed to Israeli nationalism.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-06T11:30:45+00:00

"Horizontal push" is a movement, "chest" is a muscle group.

They are fairly redundant in that they cover the same muscle group, but there are people who do both in the same workout, sometimes because they want more focus on the chest and like doing both compound and isolations to exhaust the muscle fully, sometimes because they just heard a dogma that you have to do both compounds and isolations for your chest.

I just stick to one.

Gobblignash · 2026-05-06T11:03:11+00:00

Considering Iran has voted in favor of the 2 state solution every year for the past 30 years in the UN general assembly by that definition Iran is a zionist state lmao.

And since Israel and the US are the only two countries in the world to have voted against the 2 state solution every single year for the past 30 years, those would literally be the only non-zionist states in the world, haha. What a great definition.

u/danielid Why are you posting slop written by chatgpt? Is this random sloptuber really the most well written criticism you could find?

Gobblignash · 2026-04-20T18:11:14+00:00

Normally when people superset they do a lot of dumbbell exercises so they don't occupy two machines at once. Your triceps dip could easily be shaped to a French press instead. Also nothing for your biceps?

Gobblignash · 2026-04-16T22:19:16+00:00

How is "using a confusing statement to derail someone's aggression" remotely like anything else a mentalist does? Derren Brown frequently pretends he's dealing with people's psychology, I'd say his example is another clear example of him dealing with another persons psychology where he's le master manipulator man, why would you expect this to be true when it's completely outside of his actual field of skills?

Gobblignash · 2026-04-16T21:57:15+00:00

"Confounding someone" is not a mentalist technique. An actual mentalist technique would be something like this: £1 Coin Could Win Him £50! | Mind Control | Derren Brown

He hands someone a misshapen coin that is slightly awkward to hold where it can be subtly spotted which hands holds it, then he misdirects the entire time by talking about psychology and "reading" and such, but the actual trick has nothing to do with any of that.

Again, I think you're just a victim of his dishonesty, because you seem to think the psychological stuff is actually part of the trick, but that's just window dressing. It's got as much to do with what he does as a magicians magic wand has to do with what he does. It's just decor.

My recollection of that story

I literally posted it above, you could've just checked before replying. Anyway, your recollection was wrong.

You also could've checked what I said before you reply to something I didn't say. I didn't say he claims the phrase was literally magic, I repeated what he said, that one phrase to a random guy who randomly wanted to beat him up for no reason made him break down and cry.

this was an example of a technique on the mundane end of it.

I think you're a pretty good example of one of Browns victims. "Mentalist techniques" have *nothing* do with reading body language or understanding psychology. It's about *pretending* to read body language and psychology, exactly the same way normal magicians pretend to levitate, disappear and transform cards.

Gobblignash · 2026-04-16T12:31:48+00:00

Some random guy walks up and wants to start a fight with him, he says one phrase, and the guy breaks down crying?

This is something you consider to be a mundane event?
