    You know the Internet ruined your brain when upon seeing mention of "anthro" you think "furries".

    How do you know I didn't write an essay on furries?



    I guess that would be more like sociology.

    Holy crap, I channelled Capitalism, ho! for a moment there.  On someone's birthday, I forgot to wish them happy birthday but instead tried to promote a product they could buy.


    Then again, they did it to themselves first. :P


    Happy birthday, delta534.

    "I don't get"


    The three words often repeated when someone is about to complain about something, usually popular.

    ^^^ Heh, and I already thought I am destined to take the mantle of Official Capitalism Wanker of IJBM.

    Congratulations on surviving a trip around the Sun Delta.



    It's less a mantle and more a merit badge deal.

    Something has been bugging me for a long long time


     


    How can you lose money from internet privacy?

  • DYREDYRE

    Do you mean, like... Google and the like trying to push everyone toward using one account for everything, associating real identities with online accounts... that kind of thing?


    If so, it's because doing that allows you to create a more accurate picture of who each person on the internet is, and in particular what products and services they'd be most interested in, which means you have more accurate information to sell to advertisers.

  • WhaleWhale
    Champion of the Whales

    No


     


    I mean vidya game companies and whatnot using lost sales to say they lost revenue.

    But that's internet piracy, not privacy!


    Anyway, in that case it's just that they assume that any time a person pirates a game/movie/song/whatever, they would have purchased it if piracy weren't an option.  Obviously, that's ridiculous, but making crazy assumptions like that allows them to use big numbers when they try to crack down on piracy.


    In practice, it's very difficult (read: completely impossible) to determine with any accuracy how much of piracy actually constitutes lost sales, and in any case they aren't actually losing money that way, just probably making less, so it's misleading either way.

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Piracy obviously hurts sales to some exent, but what they don't get is that trying to prevent it doesn't actually help sales (since once the game's cracked, it's cracked), and in some cases can actually hurt them.

    Yeah, we've got the mantle part down pat, but we just don't touch it because if we did we'd be in hot water.  We'd rather keep our cool by just skimming the crust.

    So, season 2 of the Wire is actually way funnier than I remember it to be, considering it's actually one of the most depressing and actually kind of weird when put against the rest of the show.


    It's still my favourite, though.


    I'm working my way through Season 3 by now, and I am remembering why I loved Bunny so much during my original watch. I forgot how much of an asshole McNulty was in this season, though (and that's saying something, considering that McNulty is almost always an asshole)

    Bunny is just great. That kind of character can get annoying pretty easily (hell, even within the same show we got totally-not-Simon from season 5), but between his arc, his lines and his actor's charisma, he works just fine.


    Season 3 in general is probably the most entertaining season, though I guess my favourite would be 4.

    Hey, he's not an asshole for like one full season.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    Season 4, wasn't it

  • NoimportaNoimporta

    Yep, he also has like 15 minutes of screentime in it.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    That's what led me to that conclusion, yes. 

  • NoimportaNoimporta

    Well, to be fair, season 4 is the one where he gets his shit together, so even if he had more screetime, he wouldn't be too much of an asshole.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I'm sitting on a bus that's going to take me to the airport, where I will board a plane that will take me out of London for who knows how long.



    It's a weird goddamn feeling.

    Newspaper: [bad guy] has cancer!


    Me: oh, that's bad.


    *beat*


    Wait, it's the [bad guy], why should I find it bad?

    Wait, did I just wish for people to get cancer?

  • AlkthashAlkthash
    I'm a damn twisted person

    Your mouth fills with spaghetti. You blink and find that your eyes have been turned to meatballs. Unable to see you scream and begin to choke on the spaghetti. Gasping for air you manage to spit some of it out but some of it slides down into your throat with the cancer marinara sauce. You try to vomit it up, but all you have are dry heaves to the rhythm of Killer Queen.


    You have eaten the cancer. It is you.
