If it wasn’t fair use I’m sure they would have gone after Kurzweil (popular assistive technology program designed explicitly for scanning books) a long time ago

In Canada we already have Power Corporation (what a name), they’ve owned our Prime Ministers for decades

Exactly this. It was a very boring job, pretty much just filling out a form for people who couldn’t /didn’t want to do it themselves online… not sure what about it was worth sharing to begin with, would have been terrible content lol

Someone at a no-paper, no-phones call centre I worked at had their buddy film them taking a call then they posted it to YouTube, both of them got fired when someone in management apparently saw it online.

If this post has traumatised anyone you should go home and start playing Tetris. It really works. Some study said if you play Tetris after trauma it changes your neural pathways so you’re less likely to get ptsd

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad, they’re crazy!!! It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don’t go out anymore! We sit in the house and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller and all we say is ‘please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything’!

I bought Haze for PS3 the day it came out even after reading a lot of mid to negative reviews, both because I really love all three TimeSplitters games and wanted to support the devs, and also out of a feeling of ‘how bad could it really be?’. It was incredibly boring, graphically underwhelming, and I ended up beating it the same day I bought it. Tried to trade it in and even on release week EB offered me an incredibly insulting amount, like $7 or something, and I still took it.

myself and everyone I knew were massive fans of the N64 WCW and WWF games, but I had played the PS2 Yukes! games at friends houses and always kinda hated them. Ended up getting Wrestlemania X8 because I somehow got to actually go to the event at Skydome, and even with that huge bias still thought the game was shit and barely ever played it.

Wrestlemania was fucking wild though, it fell on the same day as St. Patricks and everyone there was drunk as shit, tons of fan scuffles and rowdiness, as a high schooler was a total blast.
