YouTube Skeptic Community is a joke.

That's not Skeptic

And yeah, should they be able to though?

YES

It's their fuckign software.

You agree to the terms when you purcahse it.

I mean, there's literally videogames that are not playable because their DRM service is just not supported any more.

I don't fucking care.

We're not gonna base copyright law off of fucking nostalgia.

Yeah, and my attitude is that we built the industry that way, and that was a mistake.

It was built that way because of Pirates

Literally, that is the reason.

So if you're looking to point fingers, point them at the pirates.

They forced it.

If you can't make money off of your product, YOU'RE NOT GONNA FUCKING MAKE IT.

All right. Well, whatever. I said my piece. I don't think this is going anywhere.

If that's what you wanna think that's what this is, then go ahead.

tee hee

I didnt even say your work was worthless*

No, I said that you shouldn't try to sell a product that's infinitely reproduceable.

People also think that Trump is a Russian plant.

People also once thought that the earth was flat.

My point is, is that you're doing the work for free, and then you're trying to sell something that literally anybody can copy.

Your point is that you’re a fucking retard

lol

Ask the chinks @M4Gunner

Yes, and then they have to buy the labor and the materials to make said building. That overhead doesn't exist with software, or any other form of intellectual property.

Hasn't that been tried literally millions of times before only to be completely circumvented?

Your solution to your poor business plan is to artificially impose limitations on software or whatever else, only for it to be completely circumvented in a manner of hours.

You literally said you'd do this.

I sure as shit didn't either.

Literally the only game with Denuvo I'm planning to buy is Resident Evil 2.

Because there's this funny tendency that shitty games seem to incorporate Denuvo.

I mean, if you wanna think about the funny thing, I don't think that the way things are aren't benefitting companies either. That's why they lobby to extend copyright and patent law, and sue and DMCA anybody that they think is the one that's threatening their IP.

I mean, that's my attitude, is that unless you're Disney and whoever else, I don't think this is a good system for nearly everybody.

Didn't say you were. But that's my belief that the current intellectual property system that we have is there to protect what is inherently a poor business model, so companies need to contrive legislation to protect their poor business model.

Like I said. I'm a libertarian.

I mean, so do I.

I agree.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't be making money.

I'm really not.

I'm saying that trying to make money from something that takes literally no effort to copy is a good idea.

Only because companies try their damnedest to make it so, only to fail.

I understand that legally that's the case.

I'm not disputing that.

Again, that's why I don't pirate.

I didn't even say that suddenly it was bad either.

It has always been bad, and it's only been allowed to thrive because it was born in an environment where it isn't contested.

Sure, and then people would just not buy your software, and pirate it because you have literally went out of your way to make your software as undesirable to use as possible.

Like I said. Couldn't be contested.

Therefore, a bad business model was allowed to thrive.

Not unless they lobby for legislation to protect them.

I mean, last I check, the government still heavily subsidizes corn.

They're still bailing out banks.

Yup, and the legislation for it has snowballed out of control.

It's what you'd expect for legislation that didn't pan out in reality. What was originally intended to be laws designed to protect creators like yourself, has now turned into a nightmare of IP laws that are abused by a select few megacorporations and patent trolls.

I understand that. But literally look at companies like Google, or fucking Disney that are just going around and hoovering up everything.

I mean, I think it was this server that somebody mentioned Turbine. LotRO was pretty damn cool until WB bought it.

I hope they will.

But we've said that for the automotive and big banking for how many decades now?

I understand that.

I think it's just a clusterfuck.

Yeah, I don't like unions eithr.

They're just as bad as megacorps.

I agree.

I think if they're a product of a free market, then I have no issue.

And of course, the government is always happy to step in.

Most people are npcs

Don't remind me.

I have to use them, because mom is too much a fucking normie and needs her TV.

I have to listen to autistic screeching from CNN all day.

Trying too.

Kinda hard when I'm working at fucking McD's.

I know.

I'm like the emblematic millennial minus the SJWisms.

I entered adulthood not knowing what the fuck to even do with myself.

I'm just finally getting my own shit together.

I just need a real job.

Tried joining the army. Got a 97 on my ASVAB, but got PDQ because of my fucking eyes.

I would've been out by now. And had a real job.

It's not that.

I got pre-kerataconus.

And that's an automatic PDQ.

No, my corneas have the possiblity of becoming more conular.

They're basically too weak to hold a perfect shape.

As such I'm extremely short sighted.

Real white people do their own solder, that's some niggerlicious solder you got going on.

I didn't even know who the fuck Terry Davis was a month ago, and I miss him.

Hopefully he's running over glow-in-the-dark CIA niggers in heaven with Mr. God.

if I'm reading this right, china is getting better?

or china is misreporting their stats?

so

with china = poverty declining, without china = poverty stagnating

so china good

or lying

Keep in mind that China has 1/7 of all people in the world @Angus

And have great GDP growth after their capitalist resurgence

And the World Bank takes their figures from the states directly, so they may be lying?

idfk what to think about this, what should I be getting from the chart?

That marxism is dead-wrong @Angus

It claims that as the rich get richer (which they are) the poor get poorer

Which is not what we see

As the rich get richer, so do the poor

And its all thanks to capitalism 👌

in the united states, don't the rich get richer, like normal, and the poor have their cost of living inflated?

No

The PPP has steadily increased

money per person doesn't mean money per poor person

The average purchasing power parity

I mean, I know that any individual can take their opportunities, but does every poor person get a better standard of living throughout?

That's for the US

that's either stable or declining because of trump

also, not arguing with you to be an asshole, just asking questions

Ofc not

I'll try and find something better ig

Which one?

fuckin discord

it hadn't loaded any messages after that poverty chart

the first one

lol

percentage of people earning $X/day year by year

For the US at least, I have seen that 86% of those who were deemed poor in 1979 were no longer that way in 1988

So there is much upward economic mobility

This one is very interesting

And is adjusted for inflation and is therefore "real"

@Angus

ye

looking at it

cool

heyyyy I'm decently ahead of curve

were you trying to make a specific point or just pointing out that the world is good compared to before?

Well, I'm just saying that Marx was good enough to leave us with predictions based off of his theories................and ofc he was dead wrong

Sowell: "If Marx was correct, then why does the nation with the greatest number of billionaires (USA) also have an immense standard of living?"

@AsianMessiah https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/494092114368528393/500383311852601405/poverty-levels-over-time.png

So basically china finally caught on with the world in 2005

U wot?

I don't quite get what that % refers to

All population? Just low income?

The percent of the total world population living at each income level @Uksio

In the first graph

In the second, China is subtracted from the calculations

Ok, so it does mean china got to the world's average only in 2005 or so

I am also kinda unpleasantly surprised that 50% live on $2.5 a day

Albeit, just $ amount tells you nothing about how much a person can buy for that sum locally

In some places $2.50 is worthless, in others it is enough to pay rent and eat 3 times a day

Currency-centric measurement is flawed that way, because it does not account for the buying potential

I believe that it is $ in PPP but I'm unsure

This is much better than that

Because it is done in REAL international dollars

:dollar:** Support Sargon of Akkad on Maker support and Patreon!** :dollar:

https://www.makersupport.com/sargonofakkad

https://www.patreon.com/sargon

I just made a hypothetical example

My point was that in some places the samwe $1 has a significantly bigger purchasing power than in others

And stats never seem to reflect that aspect

And as a consumer, why would I care if I get paid this $1 per unit time, if that actually covers the living expenses for me?

That would be objectively above the poverty line

@EmEm pls

@EmEm The Christian was being a pompous little dickhead, but the speccy kid who tried to land a punch had no right to do so

And then he just walks away ashamed

It's nice the other guy could block it

And it shouldn't even be that hard to beat a bunch of street preachers in an argument so if he had to resort to violence, he must be autistic

Still, you dont sucker punch anyobe even if he was an pompous ass

Ofc, I am just wondering why he needed to resort to violence while in argument with such low-hanging fruit

It shouldn't be that hard to school some preeeeeeeeeeeeeeachers

Credit to the guy for not punching back

he could have tho

"Believe all women"
Backfires when white chicks start calling all minorities rapists
The SJWs defeat themselves

Its that time of the year lads

@AsianMessiah Just mention Emmet Till and the whole thing comes crashing down

Is that a parody or legit @franti

@jigantie wtf

The kid looked cool

Yeah ikr

Kid got accused of sexual assault and that happened

Sexual assault

At 14

<:gay:382982146249326612>

the thing about the flowchart is that it can be posted here as a normal parody/joke or be posted on a lefty board and taken as just normal

You can't claim that white women have a secret agenda to kill all minorities, and then also say believe all women

To Kill a Mockingbird had its lesson to teach too

They made us read it in school

We were about 10-11~

No after that

14

Does anyone else remember the original memes like insanity wolf and shit like that

There is only npc approved memes from no on to not make the npcs uncomfortable

To Kill a Mockingbird wasn't in my education

we did Of Mice and Men and An Inspector Calls

the latter of which I think is a britshit

If you think that’s bad, I just had to read *The Color Purple*

Barely comprehensible book of “reee men are bad,” “reeeee imperialism is bad,” and “reeeee women should rise up”

Why have faggots stolen the color purple from royalty?

It’s weird. Orwell wasn’t any part of my education, Ender’s Game and Brave New World was though.

we also had a textbook full of hyper gay prose and poetry

I remember my teacher set us an assignment to try and decipher one poem

because my interpretation didn't completely align with his depraved shit he failed me outright

he believed the poem was about fuckin menstruation

miss me with that gay shit

*Brave New World* was great, honestly

Was an optional book for me, but I decided to read it. Also did *1984* and *Fahrenheit 451*, as well as *Animal Farm* when I was in 6th grade (I chose that one though)

man that's so much better than my reading list

We have Othello, an inspector calls and something else about how capitalism is gay i dont remember what it was called

I hated reading the last one because our teacher would make us stop and she would go on 30 minute marxist monologues

We didn't even finish the text before exam week so I had to study for 3/4.5 hours nightly to catch up. I did get my A** tho, Asian style

Oh and we did the woman in black - which was fun

I had Of mice and men, Fahrenheit 451, The Road, Water for Elephants, and the Aeneid

The Road was probably the standout of all those given the fact I went to a Catholic high school

That's poster about Halloween costumes sexy SS uniform lands in the all good catagory it may need some work.

ngl the thumbnail made me think she was eating a Yorkshire pudding
