Gotta get schwifty!
This was so much more entertaining than I expected! Hoping there was a fire extinguisher on standby though...
Mario kart tour, so yes because people don't die in that. Definitely no to the bonus questions.
Not sure if it filters for all those, but you can definitely filter for some things in the Google Games app. Certainly at least free and no ads.
My favourite on its own would be Sonic and Knuckles, but the best, imho, is to combine Sonic 3 with Sonic & Knuckles. You used to be able to actually plug one cartridge into the other - so cool
Recently been replaying through the original Sonic series - Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles. That's been fun.
Also recently downloaded the Megadrive rom for Aladdin. I seem to remember enjoying it, although it was insanely hard!
As someone who calls themself a "cooperative socialist" you can see where my bias lies. I still think that a hybrid is possible - even desirable, though not using the model you describe.
Most companies, in my view, should be worker owned and run. Also, I think most services can and should be worker owned and run. For example, a hospital could be owned and run by its own staff and I think it would benefit from that. The health service nationally, however, would need some government oversight. Especially if the healthcare is (as it should be imho) paid for from taxes. So, while individual "nodes" of the service are cooperatively run, the overall service is managed by the state.
A big part of my reason for thinking this way is that, if we define socialism as the workers owning the means of production, then I think that the state cannot be trusted to own the MoP on the workers behalf. The state will always end up running things for its own benefit rather than society's. Practicalities, however, dictate that certain aspects of life should be managed centrally and, obviously, the state is best placed to do that.
I should also state, for completeness, that I don't favour achieving this through revolution - at least not violent revolution, but through genuinely democratic means.
Ok, this was years ago, so the details are a little vague. Maybe that's not such a bad thing, but it might make the story a little less interesting. But it was very creepy/disturbing.
I was looking at an open source software project for something (don't remember what) and was exploring the home site for the project. It all seemed very techy and geeky and, while I don't remember what the project was, I remember it looked very useful.
I continued to poke around among the documentation and, after I'd found everything I wanted about the project itself, began looking around the site more generally. As well as being the home page for the project, it was also the home page for the developer himself.
I read through his "about" page and it all seemed perfectly normal for us geeky types and then I clicked on a link that said something like "pictures".
What I then encountered was a warning page. It said that what followed was several pictures of dead bodies in various states of decomposition. It said that the site owner enjoyed looking as these pictures. It didn't say explicitly, but it was strongly implied that it was sexual pleasure he experienced.
I'm grateful that he put that warning page there because I did not want to see those pictures. I quickly closed the browser completely and sat in a state of shock for a few minutes.
The idea of those pictures was bad enough, but to come across them (or the idea of them) so out of the blue and in a completely different context was extremely disturbing.
That cat already has a name: Jess. She belongs to Postman Pat.
Appreciate that this guide only encourages the downloading of public domain books, but what is the current thinking on the ethics of downloading non public domain books?
Anna's archive, for example, seems to have lots of content arguing that copyright is morally wrong - or something along those lines...
100% this. I'm watching it through for the second time with my youngest daughter (her first time through). I'm a 45 year old bearded man and I love it. This is definitely not just girly TV.
