How are they still in business? Every single farmer, bar none, has to know about their business practices

Wendover Productions has a decent video on John Deere’s market dominance. tl;dw It’s by cutthroat capitalism of course.

John Deere has bought out all their competitors and continues to do so. Every single breakthrough in farming equipment technology in the last decade is owned by John Deere. As a farmer, you either choose to sign a one-sided contract with John Deere or you use outdated inefficient equipment that John Deere hasn’t purchased the patent rights to. Or, of course, you sell your farm all together. Large corporate farms don’t care much about the John Deere contract since they have the power to negotiate a better deal. A lot of small farmers have been making the choice to sell out.

Soon, all farming will be done by one megacorp, buying their seed from Monsanto, using John Deere equipment, and cashing in a ridiculously fat subsidy cheque from the government.

It also helps to have so much wealth you don’t need to worry over things like affording food and housing.

We gotta convince the non-canadians this is how maple syrup is made

I was a private investigator for 20 years so I’ll use my unique skillset to help you out for free. The website URL is watermarked on the top and bottom of the video in large font.

It’s always interesting that people are quick to talk about extreme weather changes but rarely want to address the causes. I ended up watching a video that touches on the topic. I hate Mondays.

Everyone hates Mondays and everyone loves talking about how Mondays suck! You’ll never have conversations about “fixing” Mondays though. That’s because Mondays are just a fact of life. There will always be a day you have to go to work. Moving the start day or shortening the work week doesn’t change the fact that everyone will still dislike the day their time off ends and their work hours start. You can’t “fix” Mondays.

There are also people who think other social problems are just like Mondays. Unfixable. Of course they agree it’s bad! But there’s just nothing that can be done.

Unfortunately, my friends play it and I’m often roped into playing it with them. My advice: The game is greatly improved if you disable all forms of interaction with other players. Chat is muted by default now, but I’d also recommend muting pings and emotes. No form of interaction is ever positive in that game.

Even then, their matchmaking algorithm seems to be designed to hand an easy win to one team and just switches up which side you’re on enough times that you won’t quit.

Rattle 'em, boys!

You don’t own anything you purchase on Steam

Games sold on Steam are not required to use Steam’s DRM. There are lots of DRM free games on Steam. Steam is only required to be installed to purchase/download them but not to run them. After download, the game files can be copied and ran on any computer without any verification.

“It wasn’t me”

This is just steam. It’s estimated that about 3 billion people regularly play video games.

…on what?

It’s crazy that they released it. They had early access and preorders and those only attracted something like 1,000 players. This is a game that had a $100 million budget. So few players during the early stages should have told the studio to cancel it while it was still in production. Apparently they thought they’d release it and would just jump from 1,000 players to 100,000 overnight with no changes.

In the “other references” they link to the bulbapedia article for Pokemon box so I figured thats what the whole thing was about, but yeah it does read like accessing data on a server

My guess is the “Pokemon Box Storage” system since palworld stores pals in a palbox.

If all racism was as harmless as “white girls like pumpkin spice” the world would be a utopia.
