No, this is why you don't pass on the right. Not sure about where this was taken, but lots of places have laws about this. And the ones that don't, it's still a bad idea. The blind spot of the driver is worse on that side.

Yeah, but their kids don't get to choose not to have shithead parents.

I somehow doubt Austin needed this. Meanwhile, I'm posting this via an ancient DSL connection that barely functions.

I'm excited for Starfield but buying a Bethesda game on release week is probably a bad idea. Let them get a few patches out first.

Assuming Armored Core is as polished as many of these reviews suggest, it might be a great game to tide me over until then.

Eh, I kinda doubt this will be his last mugshot. Although I guess the first will still be most famous.

Probably because they wouldn't see a dime of revenue from this. It would be a new law that just says they have to do it. At best, they would be allowed to pass the costs to customers somehow, likely through our plate registrations at the DMV.

It's basically a no win for the car companies. Lots of ill will, increased chance of litigation, increased costs for building cars, all for nothing.

In fact, I bet the car companies lobbyists are the reason we don't have this already.

Well, they probably use Macs.

That would be annoying, since my password is pisscockshit.

Go home Skittles, you're drunk.

With what money?

I know spez is running it into the ground, but it was valued at $10b last funding round. I don't think he's got the liquid capital after blowing it all on Twitter.

I presume it's cool to post magnet links in here?

I wonder if we're wrong to group entertainment and physical goods into the same category though. They're wildly different things.

If I make you a pair of shoes, I need to charge you money to account for my time, my effort, and the materials it took to make them. If I make a thousand shoes, it doesn't scale; the price per shoe has to stay the same.

If I write an ebook, I would charge for the time and effort it took to write it, but there's no material charge. It scales entirely differently because I can make a billion ebooks for the same cost as one.

Considering that, the old way of thinking that I should be able to resell an ebook like some shoes I bought doesn't seem to apply logically. We're buying entertainment, not physical goods. I don't bitch that I can't resell the experience of going to a concert, so why do I bitch (and I do) that I can't resell digital media?

I just wish the publishers would price media accordingly. If they all worked out a deal with stremio to get ten cents whenever I streamed a movie, I wouldn't think twice. But instead I need to sign up with multiple services and pay $20 to stream one, and I just realized I'm bitching to the choir so I'll end there.
