Not neccessarily a defense of the system, but I’d say this is for playing music on the shop screens before you buy the games, and other promotional material.
For example Borderlands GOTY uses a rock song with lyrics that’s not part of the game’s OST.
Auks were similar to penguins, members of the aukling family include guillemots and puffins.
I have some experience in licensing music in the UK. it’s simple and cheap and it means the artists get paid (well the record labels, but that’s another problem)
You paid a tiny amount of the profits you made after filling in the form which is pretty much just name and address and the tracks you used. It was something like £20 to play 5-10 songs for a three week run of a live show
the average only fans account doesn’t make it to $1000 in its lifetime
my uncle died of “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” per the coroner’s report
at least unlike america they’re not the government
not if you write score like I do
the dog didn’t actually tell him to
Google actually told him to with text receipts in writing
growing up in the 80s and 90s in the uk, I never heard the end of how the (slur for Pakistani people, applied to all people from South Asian countries) are ruining everything, then the Kosovans/Bosnians, Romani people, Muslims… I saw less black/African racism but I didn’t see none.
However, in my home town - which has a cathedral and a mosque - racial tensions got so high there were murders in the streets.
because the military convinced everyone their bombs are super precise, but in reality they have a 20% hit rate on average where a “hit” is within the radius of 250 yards (~230 meters)
So this could’ve been a “direct accurate hit”, statistically speaking, on the actual target which was as far away as being on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge or a “very near miss” at a distance of laying the empire state building on its side
my old company wanted to investigate reddit advertising
the smallest campaign started at $10k USD
before silica was commercially available people used to use rice (in salt shakers, to dry electronics…)
rice contains naturally occurring silica.
also, silica is the same composition as quartz and opals.
I mean you’ll have to take my word for it I guess.
I volunteer for an organization that promotes fiction penned by women and minority communities, we have a guy on the board who used to be a software engineer in the 70s–90s before he retired, he doesn’t know the first thing about social media. Struggles to remember the name of Facebook which is the only one he’s used.
My father in law wrote software for both JPL and government oceanography equipment, and is a big fan of Musk’s SpaceX work and vehemently against his political stuff, saying “he needs to dump that political stuff and get back to work!” frequently.
In my experience, people are complicated and immune to a lot of online pigeonholing, no matter how insistent online voices (mine included) are about that - there is a break between online discourse and real life day to day humdrum quotidian lived experience
there’s no need to make it personal to me, I’m just telling you about a guy I know.
I think its very reasonable in America that one wouldn’t be exposed to specific anti-Musk language if one didn’t engage with social media or news.
I think this is a case of
random people on the street flip him off, and some people have thrown stuff at him. He thinks they’re weirdos and it’s kinda funny. 🤷♂️
also I’m not going to tell the bosses husband people think he’s a nazi. I’m going to take my pay and enjoy my weekends and vacations.
this is not an endorsement of Musk or of Tesla or of cybertruck drivers - but this is a Very Online take. My boss’ husband drives a cybertruck, he doesn’t know what tiktok is, he doesn’t know what a meme is nor does he understand them when he sees them (he asks who it’s a photo of), the only news he consumes is in regards to logistics and supply chain and a little bit of the stock market.
I imagine he has as much understanding of why people hate elon musk as to I do as to why people love Sidney Crosby and hate Alexander Ovechkin - two people I had never heard of or know nothing about before googling “hockey players people love and hate.”
I won’t even remember their names in 5 minutes. I imagine a fair amount of cybertruck owners are like that.
holy shit I used this exact method this week at work to extract a paid-for database for free.
brit and I did hate peanut butter as a kid.
however I will also say that Reeces is peanut butter flavored confectionary, it is not strictly peanut butter.
