They will if they win
  • The 'Tells it like it is and doesn't care what anyone thinks' candidate.

    I guess they can chalk this up to having a concept of an opinion at the moment in addition to having a concept of a plan.

  • GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers.
  • I know that. That still misses the point. The point of the law is to clarify that on digital storefronts that you make purchases for licensed digital goods, that you can't imply to the consumer that they actually own those goods. It doesn't matter if there is an offline installer. It doesn't matter if you can 'keep your installers forever'.

  • GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers.
  • It doesn't really matter because it doesn't change the point that people think they own digital goods when they don't. GOG may have a more consumer friendly system in place but it doesn't change what has happened with people's music, movies, shows, games and music in games at these digital storefronts, where people have clicked "Buy X" and later on, it's no longer in their libraries anymore. This has happened even when the business still exists and is still providing digital goods.

  • (dnd 5e) Prove me wrong, RAW
  • I've never played DND so I don't know if this is something you could pull off or anything but I'd probably be like

    "I snort the fine pile of dust" and then, I don't know, there's some latent personality or intention there, so now we have to alternate playing my character between turns/minutes or something. It'd probably make for some great RP moments, especially if each personality couldn't remember very well what the other was doing previously. Maybe the class and abilities change with each person, which makes arming up appropriately interesting or a pain depending on how we handle it I suppose.

  • GOG: When we said we let you ‘own’ your games, we meant that no matter what happens you’ll still be able to play them thanks to our offline installers.
  • Right, if you download the offline installers, then they can't stop you from doing whatever you're going to do with it but you don't own them. Legally, you can't sell them, transfer them to someone else, etc.

    There are other sections that make the lack of ownership by you clear and that you still have to abide by the publisher's/developer's licensing agreements but Section 10 states the situation outright:

    Section 10 of the GOG user agreement says:

    GOG content is owned by its developers/publishers and licensed by us.

  • US judge demoted after detaining teenage girl during field trip to courtroom
  • He's an elected judge. I don't know Michigan's laws but there might not be much more that can be done by the court administration themselves. I personally also took Chief Judge McConico's statement as a tactful 'fuck you' to Judge King.

  • LAPD raid goes from bad to farce after gun allegedly sucked onto MRI machine
  • I'm not surprised by the rubber stamped warrant. Cop shops are known to shop for judges that will just stamp off. I'm sure they didn't mention that it was a MRI business but the odor of weed even combined with high energy usage shouldn't be enough for a raid IMO. There should be some other evidence, especially in LA where it smells like weed pretty much anywhere.

    I'm curious how this will go. I assume LA will settle out of court because they don't want a precedent set that they actually going to be responsible for private property damage during raids.

  • Officer Demoted After Writing Traffic Tickets Gets $175,000 Settlement
  • Several members of the Police Benevolent Association allegedly approached him, one telling him that he had to obey the courtesy-card customs or the union wouldn’t protect him.

    Looks like they were correct about that. The police union protects almost anything, except giving those with union 'courtesy cards' a traffic ticket apparently. That is just too far.

  • Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants
  • I saw the dumb defender say he was conflating immigrant and migrant but I replayed that part a dozen times. It really, really sounds like an 'N' as the first letter. It definitely was not him beginning to pronounce 'immgr'. You can plainly hear it.

    But even if we gave him the benefit of the doubt, the fact that Megyn Kelly completely ignored it and the fact that he didn't apologize immediately and explain it says volumes about both of them. Why didn't Kelly even say anything? Maybe she's so used to hearing it in her circles, maybe even saying it, that it didn't even register as something unusual to her and she didn't notice it.
