Yes, and while Charles Darrow, who became the first millionaire game inventor due to the game's success, profited substantially from royalties, Lizzie Magie, the original creator of the game’s concept, sold her patent for just $500 and received no royalties.

Ha, I knew those penguins weren't trustworthy.

I just watched the debate. It's true that Vance is better than Trump when it comes to rhetoric, but that's not difficult. The sad thing is that many people seem to only care about how someone says something and not at all about what someone says.

What's with the boomer stuff? Does the internet really need any bogeymen to blame for everything bad? Seems to be the case. So it's hardly surprising that people like Trump are so successful. It's the same thing, just packaged differently

I haven't seen the debate yet (cause time difference). I expect one guy spewing mostly hate and some made up stuff and one guy trying to make any sense of what his opponent says and try to fact check at least some of that. No substantial debate about anything actually important but an all American show as usual. I'm looking forward to that.

I'm from Germany, where this shameful history is part of our past. But even today, unfortunately, and even in my home country, there are resurgent forces that want exactly that once more: Hatred against everything that seems foreign to them. Don't let that happen anywhere in the world. Let history speak for itself and let us be wiser this time: never again this inhumanity, never again racism against whomever it may be directed at.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I myself worked for a social media company for some time (although more in IT, not in their core business). The success metrics for this company were exclusively followers, likes and so on. There were no other metrics whatsoever.

Sure, still a bit weird tho. I mean what happens when OP is on a business trip and his gf seems to suddenly have a whole different taste in music in the morning? Could easily lead to misunderstandings...or not.

I'm sure they are. How could they not? They love you for who you are and what you do and what you think...

That's cute and all, but it's also pretty much what Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Spotify and all the other tech giants are doing when they're joyfully tracking what people are doing without their knowledge or consent.

(Reichs)Kristallnacht? Wtf...

Wut?
