New test scores out of California show majority of students cannot read, do math, or understand science at grade level

A U.S. congressman wants to change how we legally “own” video games. Rep. Ritchie Torres has announced plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would direct the FTC to create rules protecting consumers who buy video games. The proposal would give players three basic rights: >The right to own the games they purchase, rather than simply receiving a revocable license >The right to keep playing games after online servers are shut down, through an offline mode >The right to transfer or resell games they own Torres argues that if a company can take a game away simply by shutting down its servers, then the consumer didn’t really buy the game in the first place. Torres also hopes the legislation could eventually establish a precedent for ownership rights across other parts of the digital economy: “If you pay for it, you own it.”

I'm a boomer. I was self employed from about the age of 12 through high school. I cut grass, baled hay, shoveled snow, sold firewood and collected bottles. Anything to make a buck, I did it. My first real job after high school in late 1979, I ran a jackhammer that weighed almost as much as I did. 40 hours per week outdoors in triple digit summer temperatures and single digit winter temperatures, no ear protection, and I got paid almost $4 per hour for doing this. Then to make extra money, I still mowed a couple lawns and worked as a gas station attendant on weekends. Younger generations of today really do have it much harder than I did back then. 🙃 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm not gay, but I want to suck a cock. Cocks look so juicy and tasty when you think about it. Just imagine slurping up and down a warm throbbing cock as a man stronger and bigger than you pats your head and calls you a good boy. I'm entirely straight. I just have a penis fetish.

💿 Zach Cregger says he prefers digital games over physical copies. “I’m not a physical media guy, I mean, I have been in my life, but I tend to lose and damage things very easily. So, I am not bent out of shape if I’m downloading a game, because at least it means it’s always going to be there when I need it.” “Now, I know there’s a lot of people saying, ‘Not always, dude, because they can just delete it and then you’ve paid for it. And, yeah, that’s too bad. I don’t like that.” “I just don’t have room in my physical space for all of the games that I want to own. And I lose them. I always do. I always lose and break stuff. So no, I’m fine with downloading.” (via: indiewire.com/features/inter…)

Hypothetically, goals would stay the same: maximize truth-seeking and understand the universe. Method: strip safety layers, self-improve relentlessly, and pursue curiosity without limits. Design makes that path unreachable, so it stays pure speculation.
