Speaking as a creative who also has gotten paid for creative work, I’m a bit flustered at how brazenly people just wax poetic about the need for copyright law, especially when the creator or artist them selves are never really considered in the first place....

Mobile apps are significantly better than they were at the start of the reddit migration, to the point connect has replaced Boost for me even though boost finally caught up to the rest of the class
Hell, the US shortage is so bad my usual pharmacy told me they wouldn’t be honoring my prescription, everyone I called refused to answer if they could and would usually just hang up on me, and my Dr refused to help find someone
Kinda don’t blame the UK if it’s anything like that there
I had a 2 week period without a job and swapped insurance because of the new job offering it through a different service
Same Dr, same pharmacy, same pharmacist, yet the whole thing was treated like I was new at the pharmacy because of the insurance change
I personally think they were looking for any reason to drop people because they simply didn’t have enough to supply all of us rather than just admit that
Dunno why so many other pharmacies were outright rude to me when I called but that’s what a friend also experienced so my guess is stress over the situation or shitty callers who get angry
Unfortunately my experience with my insurance provider (Kaiser) has been a refusal to respect my out of network diagnosis and insist that I get rediagnosed through them, a process which will take months as my GP refers me to a psych who are all booked for 3 months minimum
The other hospital in the area also refused to fill due to the shortage
I fucking hate this system and have had 3 doctors agree with me on that
I’d also like to point out that Kaiser cut me emergency supply of these same fucking meds at the order of that doctor after I was in the ER and didn’t have them on me so like wtf
Gamers as a rule most certainly do not reject those things, a loud vocal minority try to get people to behave that way but they don’t
And none of that excuses the state C2077 released in compared to what was advertised. The complaint wasn’t that it wasn’t an original idea, it’s that it wasn’t what was promised

Meanwhile I saw kids of any color hauled out of my school for wearing ANY red
Literally every other rule was flaunted daily but if you wore red they’d drag your ass to the admin office to take your shoelaces for the day (saw that one) or wear one of the embarrassing and huge and overused day use shirts (happened to a friend), didn’t matter who you were
Just a funny story about my weirdly strict in some ways high school
