A.I. just loves using that exaggerated DoF bullshit.

Those treaties make absolutely no mention of ship transit between Lake Erie and Lake “America”. Sure they can’t transit tax american ships between Erie and Ontario. But they sure as shit can tax between Erie and “America”.

Easy solution: There is a new transit-tax on any shipping travelling between Lake Erie and Lake America via the Welland Canal. There is however, NO transit tax on any shipping travelling between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario via the Welland Canal.

Fill out your paperwork accordingly.

Completely disagree. Even if your working and don’t have “summers off” like you used too. Summer time weekends heading to the lake, going outdoors for a hike or a picnic. Just generally having the sunshine on you is still far far far better than a winter world that becomes black and white for a few months.

If summer wasn’t better than winter in pretty much every way, S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder) would be most common in summer instead of winter.

Sad that OSX is taking the lions share of that drop, but it’s better than nothing, I suppose. One battle at a time. One tiger at a time.

morals. Ethics. Basic human decency…

John Heard too. But that was all the way in 2017. Might have been Trump’s first exchange.

Catherine O’Hara.

It all ends with Death being appointed to the Supreme Court.

Ahem…

Okay…hear me out on this.

What if…every time the grim reaper comes for Donald Trump, he bribes him into taking a different Home Alone 2 Co-star until none are left.

This timeline can seriously just fuck right off.

Gotta fix that navy supply issue somehow…

Your cat’s an airbender?

I’m not defending anybody.

I’m saying that if you’re an author (for example) that wants to self publish instead of trying to find a big publisher to accept your manuscript, what are you going to do? Email a copy to anyone who wants to buy it? No…of course not. Similarly, if you’re a dev who wants to release a game without going through a big publisher like Activision or Bethesda or whatever…what are you going to do? Other than Steam and Itch.io, there aren’t many places to do that.

Does it suck? Yes. But the reality is that if we want to get our work out into the public, regardless of monetary concerns, we have to roll around in one mud puddle or another. Our only choice (until that changes) is how deep of a puddle we choose to get in.

She can trap me in her shid anytime.

The light that loads when you start a new project. I just think of it as “the sun” because it not a directed light a spotlight.

None. Haven’t done any lighting other than moving the default “sun” to a better angle.

So in your mind, no one who is self-publishing a book should put it on Amazon. No one who is trying to sell their product on etsy should use PayPal. No one who is just trying to get rid of a few things around the house should use Facebook Marketplace… etc…

Welcome to reality. Sometimes the best of a bunch of bad options has to do. Should these companies all be put int he ground. Yes. But if we let perfect be the enemy of good, we never make any progress.

Sure. You have to rent a stall at farmer’s market if you want to sell your corn, too instead of selling it to a larger distributor. No body is saying otherwise.

The point is that having Steam as an option as an indie dev rather than having to connect to a larger publisher in order to get your work out there, is a good thing. The fact that some titles don’t make money isn’t part of it. It’s the fact that Steam at least allows these devs to cut out the middle man (the publisher). Maybe it’ll work and be a hit. Maybe it won’t. But at least they have the option to try.
