@Ralin Storm I wonder if it is not just a plastic fresnel lens that is projecting the picture from a screen behind it???
Still a good idea as an anti-vandal measure, but a bit of cheating

yo how do I find out which sources are reasonably reputable? I don't read a lot of shit these days and there are tons of new ones

some are obvious BBC-style, some aren't

America itself is basically just an extension of Europe. America is what Europe would be like if it weren't for the class of dictator monarchs pushing everyone else down.

So shit?

Why people still pay BBC is beyond me

I don't care where you're from so long as you swear fielty to the Queen and fuck me

@Seven Proxies Fuck those monarchs, kept me down

I'm here to bite them in the ass

It's like paying a dirty whore to berate you

It's a criminal offence to own a tv or use services without a tv licence lmao

@Ralin Storm Good man.

I've always said that if there was ever a thing that the Bolsjeviks did right, it was how they dealt with monarchy in Russia

It's effectively a tv tax

@JackH670 my dad is from ireland and my mum's grandparents are from scotland and my mum's went to Scotland a few times when she was younger

I guess I would have a pass to claim heritage in your eyes

Nah

@JackH670 you can own a TV, just mot one connected to anything

Probably tbh haven't looked into it

if you use it as a monitor only, you're okay

@🌈 Discord Thanos⚧ if you can receive a/f signals, you're connected

if there is all these identity groups of americans rising up against "white" , seems natural to want to establish one if ur "white"

You only get a pass if both are 1st gen immigrants from that country and have raised you with that country's culture

The BBC charging a tax is about as dumb as when movie companies start bitching about internet piracy

And american culture isn't similar enough to pass as british

If you want to make your "product" exclusive to paying customers, then don't fucking release it for everyone to copy and pick up for free

@JackH670i would say my dad is pretty irish and my mums acts very much like a scot. But I understand

@Seven Proxies that's why patents exist

you can keep it a trade secret and mob bully anyone that finds out

or release it to public

If you want to be British irish etc move to those countries, otherwise you're just like every other american tbh

It's about as dumb as if I built a kind of "perfume generator" that continually pumped out a pleasant smell into the surrounding enviroment so that any passerby would get a whiff of the scent, but then I approach everyone who walks by and tell them to pay me for the pleasant scent they just inhaled because I own the perfume generator.

woah, I'm loving this brie https://i.imgur.com/uKhZkFg.jpg

If you expose people to your product completely unsolicited, then you have no right to charge them money

tf? cleavage is banned now too?

@Ralin Storm Patents are a completely socialist idea

She might have tits but no ass

@JackH670 my grandpa has been saving money for about 7 years to take me and my sister to Scotland to be with relatives for a few weeks in the summer. Seems very noble of him

@Seven Proxies patents protect companies and encourage innovation, they've been abused and corrupted recently though

Bruh 7 years is a long time

@JackH670 he works at the post office

Any so called "free market entrepeneur" who argue in favor of patent laws, are nothing but a faker.

In real capitalism, there is no such thing as patents. In real capitalism the person who can produce goods and sell them the cheapest will win out. Whoever invented the product originally is completely immaterial.
