Did the writer give me permission to read their book, which I used to learn to write better and sell those works?

Did Michelangelo give every art student that learned from his works permission to learn from his work and then produce works in a similar style on their own to sell for profit?

What’s an “official” political debate? The government runs no such thing.

Also in general, many debates on TV are jest talking, no winner is declared. It’s the opposite of a competitive format.

That’s not the WHY. Debate isn’t trying to be like politics, but having formalized competitive rules for arguing is pretty difficult so there are a lot of ways to game the system. It’s not trying to model a broken world.

Can we get this information in any reasonable format? Preferably paragraphs of text, second to that an audio file, third to that a video player that actually works?

“why did my rent go up by 400 dollars?” “Because my favorite bagel spot raised prices by a dollar”

When you buy a ticket to see a movie at a theatre, you don’t own the movie.

Correct and not letting you make up definitions or ignore reality just to support a separate point that you agree with?

Sounds like you’re a bad husband.

According to the law or dictionaries? Yes.

I’m not in that mindset. Doesn’t mean laws and definitions of words don’t exist law. We can say fuck them and that we don’t care, but they still exist.

What does a lack of enforcement, or other bullshit that the government does, have to do with the fact that OPs post made no sense.

While I appreciate the sentiment, theft of service is a crime. You don’t have to be able to own something to be able to steal it.

What the fuck are you talking about? How does quantity have to relate to quality at all. Find anybody that’s played all Pokemon games that will say the latest installments are best.

The game is garbage carried by nostalgia and people that will buy the games regardless of how shit they are because they love being pokemon fans

Let’s be real though, the pokemon card game always was awful, we were just too young to play it and evaluate it properly. The games are now shit, the franchise is in the toilet because of obsessing over merchandising.

I’m glad I have other good relics like my heroscape pieces or my pog collection.
