This is “NoStupidQuestions”, not “AnythingGoes”, lol
Not a current student, but know some in tech programs. At least in colleges (as opposed to universities), a lot of professors have been moving away from textbooks. But maybe the students I know are just lucky, lol
There are still publishers who do exactly what you describe. Pearson was doing maybe 10% off for the digital copy. You could buy used textbooks, but then you’d need to buy the “digital pass” for the homework, which was more than half the cost of the book (and it wouldn’t give any digital access to the book itself).
People will click whatever’s stopping them from the dopamine hit of adding a game they’re probably not going to play to their library.
It’d be even harder to stop someone who actually WANTS to play the game they’re paying for! Lol
The music on the CD is copyrighted, but you’re free to use the Bass Boost feature or whatever on the thing you’re playing the music from
I remember when this was first starting, the digital copies were like 30% cheaper. A lot of people, including myself, took them up on it because it made most things easier. (Especially when publishers would be coming out with new editions every year and many profs just made the new edition the required one regardless of any substantial differences)
Do they need “buy” or “purchase”? All they need is “pay”, and nobody would notice.
That was the one action I took on Twitter after creating an account before my account got banned.
I needed to create an account to check a local source for updates. So I did. I also decided to look around on Twitter to see what I was “missing”. Saw a bunch of Musk stuff and instantly knew I didn’t want to see any of it. So I blocked him.
In a few weeks, when I clicked a Twitter link, it said my account had been banned for suspicious activity. It had a secure password and this was its second log-in ever (no posts, comments, reactions, etc).
Some people never see their parents as trusted authorities, but the laws still treat them as if they are
In many places, the victim being 16 wouldn’t be the problem. It’d be the abuse of trusted authority that the perpetrator has over the victim.
Hmm…if the price of retro games lowers, I’ll be more likely to get good deals…
But I’ll be in a worse position if I ever need to sell parts of my existing collection…
WTF? lol
I thought this saying Son of Trump suspect as if there was some sort of criminal cult called Son of Trump, and the individual in question was suspected of being “Son of Trump” or otherwise involved in it.
Yeah, this headline is atrocious, lol
growing up i just wanted a normal ass name.
Now, as an adult, you can name your ass whatever you want!
Being funny is engaging in conversation though.
Here’s an actual bot answer:
Those plastic covers for electrical plugs are typically used to protect the plug prongs when they’re not in use. They help prevent the prongs from getting bent, damaged, or exposed to dirt and debris. Plus, they can minimize the risk of accidentally touching the prongs and getting a static shock.
And here’s a joke that I asked ChatGPT to make:
Ah, those little plastic mysteries—probably just trying to keep the plugs warm in the winter!
For anyone looking to play Super Mario Sunshine and wants to consider 100%, there’s “Blue Coin Tracker”.
Not only can you check off what you’ve found, but it’s got screenshots, descriptions, and strategies to help you find it. Even links to YouTube clips if you’re still stuck!
It’s invaluable. The blue coins are pretty evil in that game.
In Canada, our conservatives are more like “Let’s see what we can privatize. Highways, healthcare, utilities…cut funding for schools and other things, but write cheques to the population every once in a while so they’ll like us”.
The post title was an entire thought in the form of a question. It invited people to come and share their opinions.
Not to mention that in many clients, the title is presented first before the post body. So someone could come up with their answer after reading everything initially presented to them about this post.
Also, skimming is a useful thing that people do, lol
That is generally why people pay for things
I think that random encounters can be done well, but they’re often not done well.
I like that they can be a way to give feelings of attrition when travelling through long areas.
Those are often categorized as
