Everyone has already told you it’s not a precedent but I should also note the eminent domain literally only requires the US to pay a fair market price, not for them to not take it.

Be nice if there was an easy way to just do this with any car. Like, I’m willing to get you could get a rough model with FreeCAD and some references but it’d be really cool to have a drive through laser scan or something.

You throwing babies away?

This is a very tough question. Ask yourself, what is it worth and what value does this add to the user experience?

Like, I like the idea of the project. I’m not even mad they aren’t doing it for free but, like, fuck Man…

“We have not solidified a price point yet.”

Or something. “What value does this add”? Is Steam gonna allow me to decide what I want to pay like itch.io or something? Fuck, that feels like such a “we want to charge the absolute most we can with good intentions we promise,” statement.

Not to defend the game itself but Neptunia is at least on some level a parody of other JRPGs, so the title is meant invoke that cringe. The first one was still called Hyperdimension Neptunia and the “resemicolonbirth” line was a remake which has its own remake now as well with a star in the title…

So, like I said, not defending it.

Roston Bynamics was found to actually be Boston Dynamics with some 100mph tape slapped over the logo.

The ludicrousness is the point. “Capture a creature in a ball”… How close is that to Red Dead’s lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I’m certain it was someone’s “technique” while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”

Well, you can’t patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?

Plus, he had “concept of a plan” in his front pocket. He had that think ready. If nothing else, his debate prep got that in his head.

From my experiences it goes more like this “In an ideal world, we’d behave this way. We’re not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it’s the best course.” with a knowing wink thrown in.

Mentally deranged people have been shooting up schools since before Capri Sun was even invented…

How old are you?

Military can’t really customize their equipment anyway. No bumper stickers on an MRAP.

Relevant Apocalypse Now quote “They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won’t allow them to write ‘fuck’ on their airplanes because it is obscene.”

Yeah, but you’d need to think in your campaign room “What if someone asks why we’re certifying fake electors?” which, admittedly, in a sane world seems like an insane thing to worry about.

We’re not in a sane world but “Well, we don’t have a comment at this time but we’re looking into the matter.” could be construed as “didn’t immediately respond to our question.”

Santos’ drag name, allegedly.

I’d be more surprised if they had an answer ready to go. That’s, like, proof they knew.

Daddy only said that word because he thought he was going to win a lot of money.

The N-word.

Then at least use something fancy like a flight stick! The F710 makes… anything newer than the Gravis Gamepad look like luxury!

Just get the F310, like me, and you can enjoy that three foot range without batteries.

Also, WHY DID THE SUB USE THE WIRELESS VERSION WHEN THE WIRED IS CHEAPER AND WIRED?

It’s not like slave owners ever had mixed racial kids for any reason or anything. /s
