What is that, like 12 people now?

You're talking micro about something that is macro. This isn't rueing your fav indie band breaking into mainstream and now Karen at the front desk is using her new favorite band to try and bond with you.

EEE is a predatory business tactic used to assimilate and digest potential rivals instead of actually competing thru products. It's anti-consumer monopoly shit, a siren's song.

Craigslist can do it, it can be done.

Craigslist is the Achilles heel to the big tech bros, proof that they're wrong, and Craig flag out refuses to change the site. It is what it is. And that's it. I fucking love Craigslist, besides the various niche forums, all self hosted from their website -fuck reddit, it is hands down my favorite part of the internet.

Everything else is advertising, trackers and opportunists. The whole Internet feels like walking down a seedy alley full of grabby sex offenders in Mumbai.

That's where I place advertisers in the social hierarchy, as peers to sex offenders, pedo's and rapists, and I know I am not the only one with such designations. Maybe think twice about that marketing major, just saying.

Not really. It wouldn't sell well enough before so why host ammo to the enemy?

Now it has pull tho, and capitalists will sell us the rope we hang them with

The light can be tucked away into the HVAC. The light never needs to hit anyone. You got central heating/cooling? One light, whole building. It's almost criminal this isn't common.

Oh doncha know manufacturers are already working on that.

The whole subscription economy grift. They're gonna say you own the basic version arguing against the 'if you can't modify it you never really own it' crowd, until they've spent enough money to bribe those in power to fashion their win for them, then they're gonna turn around and say we never really own anything and make reselling illegal.

Reselling takes care of itself if you simply stop offering physical media...which, idk...seems to be the trend of the last 15 years, don't cha think?

Is pirating old snes and genesis roms really piracy if there's no other way to get it?

Roms are the reason half those games are still around and not dead media. The popularity of roms is why Nintendo made the throw back, video game companies roll up all the time, very few have longevity and even if those most would've been fine just letting the old games die in obscurity.

Its allowed. Using a tool to help you IS NOT.

Betting table max, 3 hands, out of nowhere is a big indication you're counting. It is, after all, a betting strategy.

And casinos stop it because if they allow it it could shut the whole place down. A business that loses money doesn't stay open for long.

I've been a shift manager at casinos for years. I can tell the counters a mile away. I can deal a shoe and tell you the count at any point. I don't kick em out, but I'll flat bet them. Say the betting spread is $5-$500, right? They've played 10 hands at $5, now they bet $500. I'll walk over and place a new placard on the table, $25-$25. They can only bet $25 a hand, no variation.

Anyone who's there to press an advantage will walk immediately. And then we'll make a dossier on them and it'll get shared, nationally.

Yep. It is like that. Would you expect less, c'mon.
