A more realistic metric would be used books (also reflects the quality of all but brand new fresh books which are a rarity obviously), but you can’t quantify that price, so yes using new is disingenuous, but go off on a rant I guess? I think it’s a great idea, but let’s not kid ourselves that people would actually be spending that amount on books. It’s great for a feel good story though, I’ll give you that.
They wouldn’t have spent 60k on books over that time, they’ve only saved that much because the books were free. If they had to pay for the books they would have been more selective and less liberal in the amount.
Spending $150 a week is just a lot of money to spend on books, it’s only that much because of the free price tag, so it’s extremely disingenuous to use that amount as people wouldn’t realistically spend that.
So your intention wasn’t to have a conversation in your original comment?
And it was 30 minutes from your first reply… as well? You’ve done the same to me dude, but I haven’t insulted or attacked you, I’ve defended my points.
Also, the apps auto refresh, you can just see a notification pop up… what’s with the insults?
Ironic considering how fast you responded to me.
And I’ve only pointed out that there was more they could have done, and they claimed they would do anything.
I’m sorry that trying to have a conversation about this upsets you so, but why do people always try to derail conversations that don’t align with their (in this case) objectively wrong views? There is a hell of a lot more they could have done to protect the land, and they claimed they would, and failed on that. Why does this upset you so much?
They could rent one, or patrol it more often than they did. They made a claim, and failed to follow through on it, and this isn’t the first time.
We promised we’d use every legal tool at our disposal to protect this land from bullies like
Thats literally what they promised to do with the money they fleeced from people though….
We promised we’d use every legal tool at our disposal to protect this land from bullies like…
They did less than that actually, it’s this premise that they broke and is what I was talking about, they made a claim, they didn’t even do the bare minimum to protect it, when they said they would do anything.
Look at every single discussion that missed this detail and says they did the bare minimum, that’s NOT what they promised to do with the money. Lots of people knew this was marketing and a waste of money, and were pointing this out, they never intended to protect it, just looked everything else they took your money and laughed. And that’s all I said.
They said they would do anything possible, I’m calling out they did the bare minimum, or less when they said they would do ANYTHING. This is the extremely important detail everyone seems to be ignoring, they PROMISED to do anything possible, which they failed to do.
Just because I have a different opinion or see things in a. Different light doesn’t make me arguing in bad faith, that’s a fallacy people use to derail from their circle jerks.
The vlbi has dozens of 20m dishes, they have satellites with 10m diameters and Orion is thought to have 100m diameter. We’ve launched larger into space already, and the VLBI has used space telescopes to increase its size already as well.
So to claim we can’t sensibly launch any, when we have them up there already is plain wrong.
Just buying land gives complete legal ownership and stewardship to the owner. They’re not obligated to shit with it, and they bought it exactly so they could do nothing with it: keep it natural and pristine.
Squatters and adverse possession says otherwise… they also didn’t just claim they would keep it natural and pristine, they claimed they would protect it.
Governments can also force you to sell your land….
You seem to weirdly be invested in Cards Against Humanity being in the wrong, with the weird takes. They did exactly what they were expected to do- keep it pristine. What gives you any impression at all there were different expectations? Just flat out wrong.
What? They said they would protect it from billionaires, they failed on that didn’t they? Just like their deep hole they couldn’t do.
Your whole comment reads like one of Musk’s alt accounts trying to rub defense lol. If you expressed any semblance of understanding why and how CAH acquired the land before you began with “this isn’t the first time they failed expectations, why didn’t they build anything?!,” maybe you’d get better replies
I do understand how they got the land, why do you claim I don’t?
They have failed before.
Where did I say they need to build something? I have gotten better replies, thank you, you’re just a piece of work apparently.
You don’t need to develop land to protect it, farmers use fences, it lets people know like hunters to not use their land. You also kinda need a presence, or even your neighbor will use your l as if they notice you’re never there….
Yes that can go on the border, and almost every farmer knows to do this to prevent people like hunters from accidentally using your land.
You can’t just buy land and expect people to not use it, that’s almost negligence for anyone who spent their money expecting CAH to do this, if anything they’ve opened themselves to be sued by the people who spent the money doing this in the first place.
That did a good job didn’t it? Plenty of ample evidence that worked eh?
Did I say they need to build anything on it? How did you get that from my comment?
Just buying land does what? Show a presence, if they mowed it how often like they claimed it wouldn’t have gotten that bad before noticing. Put an actual fence on it, what they use? Some stakes a twine? I’m having a discussion so we can figure these details out, what are you doing than insulting someone for trying to talk?
This also is t he first time they failed in their expectations, the hole they dug was a failure, they had to constantly modify their claim because they didn’t realize they rules and regulations regarding making. A safe deep excavation.
I’m trying to discuss in good faith, the fuck is this? I provided a quote to show my particular issue and described it, what part of my comment is not trying to discuss in good faith? If anything you going straight to insulting someone is the one lacking any sort of civility here.
? What…?
I rebuttal your comment and ask for additional information and you just say read it again?
Maybe you need to read the chain again, because you claim there’s a regulatory machine. Can you expand on how this is relevant? I spent time clarifying f my position and this is the shit I get back for a discussion…?
So all I take from this is they took your money and did absolutely nothing with it to do anything to protect the land beyond marking it?
Edit
Our longstanding reputation as a company that makes outrageous promises and actually keeps them is on the line! We promised we’d use every legal tool at our disposal to protect this land from bullies like Trump and Musk (who’s spending millions to get Trump electedand also wants to build the stupid wall). If we don’t take action now, why would anyone ever trust us again?
Maybe because you didn’t do anything to actually do what you said…?
What? The bands already have a range, they don’t stay static on a single frequency in that band because of overloading, but if it needs to be done for periods of a time, there’s no issue with that. The band already cycles, what regulatory “machines” are involved? Stay at the top end, and then the bottom end for a bit. Put the cycle on a schedule instead of having all active at once.
And no they wouldn’t lose internet, there’s multiple bands and frequencies for that exact reason. If ones congested, it shifts to another less congested and cycles that way.
Using the light and laser example shift the red light to oranger and get some data, shift it to bluer and get the other. You can also shift the laser a little to get get more data on either side of that.
Light, like radio has fluctuations you can take advantage of to read between the lines.
Yep, no one would say a bomb suit isn’t bomb proof because it can’t stop a nuke.
Nothing is truly bullet proof, you just need a bigger bullet.
Yes and you need to read my comment again since I explained how there isn’t a regulatory body since they already shift…
You aren’t the sharpest crayon are you?
