Palworld didn’t plagiarize them. This is what the kids call a nothingburger.

Obviously there are loads of similar designs, but in a way that indicates illegal asset stealing? That’s a different question, and so-called “lazy design” aping on other creations doesn’t qualify as actual theft unless it can be explicitly proven.

More grimly, it is a big corporation trying to squash an upstart competitor and suppress art. If they succeed then it is truly dystopian and a sign that we need more legal protections against overzealous copyright litigators.

By Freaky Friday rules you would just be giving them another identity to send in affirming reports.

What change do you propose? Being born ultra rich?

If you work hard and become a professional you can make 100-120k in your 30s. Maybe as much as 150 if you get lucky. Those jobs exist in places where rent is 50% take home and ownership is completely off the table.

Do you suggest working a Denny’s in a rural area? Fuck that and fuck you.

It isn’t in Charles Village by any chance is it? I’ve got some war stories with Ben.

If Jesus got the wheel I don’t think he’d want to come back to life.

You can’t take credit for things that haven’t happened.

No. There’s a clear line that someone crosses when they’re hoarding. The physical space is unsafe and the people typically have some deep trauma they are not working through well. GP used the term “hoarding” to describe “dangerous weapons collectors” in a slurry way.

Cool. Now lower interest rates so I can at least dream about the prospect of owning a house again.

I am surrounded by hundreds of empty units owned by a few multinational corporations subcontracting out their properties to the same management firm. They all use the same profit maximizing algorithm with a shared database. It’s very illegal. I don’t think a city could win a fight against a single billionaire, let alone a legion of them. I don’t see my city even trying. Right now some tenants across the country are suing, which is an even more damned approach. This needs a federal stick.

Put capital gains tax on housing investments. Divert all cash from a pie in the sky train program for housing subsidies.

I don’t need a train. I need rent that isn’t 60% of my take home, or, better yet, a house. What’s that? NYT is saying that’s never going to happen and that I should just be okay with it. Oh and the economy’s doing great.

we should have a treasonous rapist for president

I don’t think many thinks these exact words. I think that they want someone cruel and vindictive and willing to break the rules to hurt their enemies.

Your NPC subroutine is taking a long time to load.

I’d be surprised if they don’t start setting performance records soon. First plasma was a few weeks ago.

If waste heat becomes a problem then we have been wildly successful beyond our most optimistic hopes. Signs point to that future being an utter fantasy. It’s squarely in the “good problems” category. I wish we could just choose between another order of magnitude increase in industrial output and increasing the temperature of the planet by a few degrees

1. Lots of wars and refugee crises.
2. Almost certainly unilateral moves by middle-sized nations seeing existential crises to inject albedo-altering aerosols into the stratosphere.
3. Depending on the timing of things in the next few decades we may be in an ice age very quickly from ice cap melt acceleration cooling the ocean. In an ice age the amount of arable land would dramatically decrease and if there is a harvest season at all it will be very short. Nearly everyone would starve.

You’re posting on the fediverse. You’re already on all the lists.

The UN Chief resigning as a result would be a show of power. Calling for it and not getting is a show of weakness.

No, it’s RICO.
