Dead Cells! Playa great on Switch. Highly addictive.

I wish they would apply the same rule to cigarette smoking. So much dangerous smoke and trash everywhere you go.

This was my most played game for quite aong time. I can’t believe all of the content that was added since I gave up trying to win with 5 boss cells. Maybe its time to try again…

Why would I memorize financial information from a company I left years ago just to share it with random strangers on the internet?

Didn’t know that, wild!

It depended on many factors like the size of the venue, length and instrumentation of the piece, also the genre. I can’t give you an amount in € off the top of my head how much I earned lol.

Actually GEMA takes a percentage from the big pop musicians to help fund the contemporary/avantgarde composers who would otherwise earn a lot less. There are plenty of things to complain about with GEMA but I think for the most part they do a lot to support smaller, more obscure genres. (I ran a publishing company for contemporary music in Germany for ten years, so I had a lot to do with GEMA)

It works the same way in Germany. If you’re playing music in essentially any venue, even just on the radio, you pay a royalties fee. For places that do it everyday there is usually a flat yearly fee. At least here, a good chunk of that money does indeed fund other cultural endeavors.

Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you’re over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you’re more likely to be held liable.

The Joy of Cooking

The only game I ever rage quit! Never again :)

Whatever you do, don’t cross the streams!

Nooooo !

I don’t known if you’ve been paying attention to the SAG strike, but it’s been really eye opening for me! Of course it sucks to pay 10$ for an autograph from a millionaire, but I wouldn’t assume to know how much they all actually make from acting gigs.

I have a who is a screen actor and they often work for very little pay. Even a recurring character on a hit TV show might not even be making enough to afford health insurance.

This friend recently landed a small but important role in a movie that gained somewhat of a “cult” status after its release. The money he makes from selfies and autographs at conventions is sometimes the only money he earns that month. I can see why it disappoints fans, but I can also understand these actors who are just trying to stay afloat. Especially the Trek actors who often don’t seem to get much other work.

What about the newly conceived thorium reactors that use the nuclear “waste” (spent fuel) to create energy? I think nuclear as we know it might be out of date,but that doesn’t mean the technology can’tcontinued to develop in new and better ways.

I agree! And I think that’s the only way we’ll actually get a critical mass of people to change their ways.

I see your point, though I think the comparison isn’t quite accurate. My one vote doesn’t get canceled out many times over by the vote of a billionaire (though I suppose you could argue that lobbying by that billionaire could indeed cancel it out.

I guess I’m just growing pessimistic. For as much as I personally do, I feel its a drop in the water that is negated 1000 times over by corporations and wealthy individuals. I’m also tired of the narrative being focused on individual effort instead of pressuring corporations etc. to take more responsibility. But both individual and corporate/government action are needed, I suppose, if we’re going to save ourselves…

This is the one!

Came here to essentially say this. Our individual contributions are meaningless in the face of the abuses by corporations and wealthy individuals.
