@theghostofsf@romero I think piracy was big because the shareware model was not embraced. PC Gamer mailed demo discs each month but IDK how popular that subscription was. If demo discs were sold cheaply at every local game store then maybe piracy wouldn't have been so big.
@HamboneML84@konstructivizm There were many technologically advanced societies in ancient times. Currently it is the era of the white man but we did not get here on our own. The Greeks learned from the Arabs who in turn learned from others before them.

@ShadesOfPunky@weheartseattle@PNWConservative I wouldn't want to separate the mother from her child but what she's doing is unacceptable. She needs involuntary treatment and the baby needs to be put in protective care (not with another junkie) until she's clean
@DannyDrinksWine I don't agree with the naive girl but I do tend to prefer good triumph over evil. Otherwise it's just reality and I may as well watch a documentary. The ending of The Departed made me feel like the characters wasted their lives and I wasted my time, but that's just me.
