Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how “AI” should be able to steal books.

Agreed about changing the copyright law.
Until that happens though, they must not be allowed to have it both ways - call us “pirates” when we copy their shit without paying for it, and tell us that paying for shit they copy is “impossible”.
Maybe. Probably. Who can keep track?
Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.
Public libraries are under assault from every direction.

Pretty soon you either won’t find the books, or even the libraries themselves. Piracy is the only way they are leaving to us.
your Communist inspired Fantasy Football League
You mean OUR Communist inspired fantasy football league, comrade.
It’s a trap!
I’m one of those people that couldn’t get past the middle part. Plus, something about that engine gives me terrible motion sickness after 30 minutes of playing.
I’m a software developer. All my relatives assume that I know how to troubleshoot every computer problem they have. From cleaning up crapware-ridden ancient Windows XP laptops to replacing failed hard drives, they call me for help.
I mean I do, but that’s not the point!
Wait 5 second, they will tell you.
Also, at least 27 percent of bears shit in the woods.
I mean what other choice is there? The way US elections are designed (electoral college, distribution of state representatives, re-drawing local districts on whims, unlimited amount of money being able to be poured into campaigns without any oversight or even reporting requirements, etc.,) voting for a third party is throwing your vote away. So you vote for the lesser evil. Unless you are so brainwashed as to vote against your own self-interest out of fear of the other side.
I take it as “received a diploma from an accredited educational institution”.
Isn’t this getting blocked in 24H2?
Louis Rossmann’s 20-minute rant on needless cloudification of shit incoming in 3… 2… 1…
Didn’t they block the Shift-F10 workaround in 24H2?
What’s the alternative? Buying Chromebooks and creating a generation of Google drones?
Alright, As You Wish.
Other motions proposed included a call to “abolish abortion by immediately securing the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization.”
Do my preborn children count towards car passengers in the HOV lanes? Can I claim every fertilized egg as a dependent on my state tax forms?
“Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto. … supporters of the Texas Nationalist Movement, which wants the Lone Star State to become an independent country, were photographed holding signs which read TEXIT NOW!”
So the Brexit disaster is their role model now?
I have a whole separate list for arcade games.
I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:
No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P
[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!
All of them. I dislike every marketing tactic ever invented.
