I feel the same about Dave Chappelle

They wouldn’t have as much content that way.
I understand the controversy, especially in light of the recent Reddit bullshit. But I don’t think I understand the tech.
For the sake of it, let’s focus only on games that are paid for, installed on a system (or downloaded using Game Pass), and do not involve a multiplayer element. (Hollow Knight, Cuphead, etc)
Is there some ongoing resource use (on Unity’s end) when people download or play these games? Like, when I play Hollow Knight, my system isn’t connecting to Unity to use their servers to run the game on my home system, is it? When I download a game to my system, an I downloading the engine separately from the software, thereby using Unity’s servers?
As abhorrent as the Reddit API change was, at least they were charging for the ongoing consumption of some digital resource (Reddit data). Unless I’m misunderstanding something, this just seems more like trying to collect a residual after the fact.
Yes. All those childhood bullies grow up and get jobs. Many in middle management, where they can bully yo their heart’s content
Ii-V-I is already not eligible for copyright. That’s why a million contrafacts exist.
Lyrics, maybe. Lyrics are really the most copyrightable part of a song. Then melody after that.
Chord progressions are barely protectable, usually only in combination with a melody and lyrics.
Strive for independence with every fiber of your being. Your family that you live with doesn’t love you.
That’s why they’re dicks to you. They lie and tell you it’s “for your own good” or some other bullshit. But really they’re afraid to admit that they don’t know how to love you… They may not know how to love anyone.
Being grounded for 2/3 of the year every year - when you have no disciplinary or legal troubles - is imprisonment, it is not just punishment. Making you eat vomit is not an important life lesson, it is abuse. A person who openly favors one child over the other doesn’t love any of her children, least of all you.
Your brothers learned to love from someone incapable of loving. That’s why they are indifferent to your suffering. That’s why they only care what you can do for them and feel no obligation to do anything that benefits you.
You can’t snap your fingers and be independent. But it is within your grasp if you reach for it. Reach for it with your entire being.
Your dad is reaching out now because you’re 18 and he doesn’t have to deal with a psycho to get ahold of you anymore. Hold him accountable, but trust his intentions. He’s rusty at relating, but let him show you how much he loves you. And use that to remind you of how much the others don’t.
It’s likely not a real quote. Not enough attribution to be believable.
