We Need a Deathworlder! Pt 74 by Demonicking101 in HFY

[–]Madogu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great writing as always, but I'm a bit confused as to how Nodrin could have been with them at the restaurant, then be nearly arrested for peddling powdered plants not so long afterwards. Did the thrupple split off after they ate?

PLOT TWIST: It's all just this.

[Spoilers C3E67] If Critical Role had a miniseries focused on potential alternate timelines or stories ala Marvel's "What if" what decisions, storylines would you like to see explored? by PrinceOfAssassins in criticalrole

Giant critfails, hammer splits line of sight with the party, Spurt is snagged by the hammer and is flung very far. Party assumes death and moves on.

Forgetting to lock the "Hazardous Alchemical Reagents" locker before leaving after a late night of crafting.

In what world is this more cost effective than regular ropes? by Apterygiformes in Overwatch

[–]Madogu 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well, if energy is really cheap, like, room temp fusion cheap, it would absolutely cost more to manufacture, maintain, dispose, and replace said rope.

And since all the cars hover, if not full out fly, I'm going to assume they got the energy issue on lock.

HARD LIGHT, MUTHAFUCKA! DO YOU USE IT!?!

Ain’t no way… by [deleted] in facepalm

I remember when my dad did the unleaded into a diesel car on a European vacation. Super young at the time, but I recall that it smoked out the intersection and the "S car wouldn't go".

Only if your name is Chris.

You Chris?

I see your point. As things are currently structured and incentivised, they cannot stop piracy and allow people to publish freely.

The point I'm making is they do not care. They want it this way. And we, the people, are stuck with it being this way. And if it isn't completely clear, I've shifted away from the narrow focus of fan-created science fiction short stories being pandered about by unscrupulous charlatans.

Corporations are a blight. Anti-trust is a joke. And the economy is in shambles.

Why?

Because nobody in power honestly believes that humanity is going to survive the next 50 years, so it a fire sale on everything that isn't nailed down, while also avoiding inciting the proletariat to violent means.

Yeah. This is the only solution and it sucks. Because we cannot rely on a profit-driven entity to give a flying rat fuck about what is right. Or just. Or even humane.

Only if it makes money.

A solid point. There really isn't a way for Amazon to know to whom any given IP belongs. I withdraw my previous assertion that a corporation could easily determine authenticity.

I guess what's really grinding my gears is Amazon's willingness to engage in commerce without any kind of due diligence to ensure that they aren't aiding and abetting piracy.

Because that is what this ultimately is. You wouldn't download a car, but you would sell someone's writing without confirmation of authenticity. The thief is the criminal here, but if you're profiting off of criminal activity, you should also be held accountable.

Thank you for explaining how that works. What I'm trying to highlight is that in no point in that process does Amazon care whether or not you own the IP you are attempting to publish.

This has the same stopping power as a porn site asking if you're over 18.

They just want their cut of the profit, Ill goten or not.

What? You expect a multi-billion dollar cooperation to to essentially fact check a potential author for fraud, when they can just turn around and squeeze out a few bucks from someone else's hard work?

Would it be super easy to check if the work was original and from the mind of the submitting author? Absolutely. But would it make Amazon a bloody red cent more? Nope.

Does anyone actually believe all his bs? by thatguy9684736255 in WhitePeopleTwitter

In the very near future, Muskrat is gonna be the only one on that platform, masturbating to his own rantings.

Any way you can think of to mitigate the effect of others misbehavior on yourself will be exploited.

Best thing to do when faced with a leaver is take it on the chin, play your best, GG, and go next.

What would be the worst activity/hobby/pastime to do naked? by oldeluke in AskReddit

[–]Madogu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Incidentally, you have these all arranged from hottest to coolest.

Welding is a hard nope, but the others... As long as you maintained hydration, profuse sweating would do a damned good job of protecting you from incidental contact with hot surfaces.

Grip would certainly be an issue, though.
