No

it depends on the contractuals. It may have been licensed for broadcast and Steams proprietary store may not count as a broadcasting platform

Not neccessarily a defense of the system, but I’d say this is for playing music on the shop screens before you buy the games, and other promotional material.

For example Borderlands GOTY uses a rock song with lyrics that’s not part of the game’s OST.

Cannon Radaway usage is to lie on a drip for several days. It’s not an instant consumable.

my friends dad would feed us beer in the pub at 13 years old. We were having lock ins in local rural pubs in deserted rural areas by 16. At 18 (legal drinking age here) I could party all night.

I have some experience in licensing music in the UK. it’s simple and cheap and it means the artists get paid (well the record labels, but that’s another problem)

You paid a tiny amount of the profits you made after filling in the form which is pretty much just name and address and the tracks you used. It was something like £20 to play 5-10 songs for a three week run of a live show

at least unlike america they’re not the government

No it isn’t. See my other reply, she was the one who originally broke the story of her masters thesis being rejected because she mentioned her boyfriend, publically on her tiktok profile which shows her face.

I still question the motives behind the original author.

Well I decided to look into it a bit. It seems like the original Faith ran into trouble for dedicating her Masters thesis to her boyfriend.

I cannot find the OP amongst that particular story which was reported on a lot of low-effort quasi-journalistic outlets (think Buzzfeed but less well known).

Might it be the case these are copycat meme creators who are creating these memes to capitalize on a trend/news event and are impersonating the original author for - at best a laugh, at worse for an ulterior motive?

I don’t think it’s “weird” to question these motives. I think its perfectly reasonable to suggest that this anonymous screenshot should be subject to critical thought.

my grandfather on my mother’s side had a secret second family, he was in the merchant navy half the time he said he was.

a meme that I personally would have suspicions about it’s origin considering it paints a black academic woman in a bad light.

Eres sauce.

not to over examine a metaphor too much but the elevator example is why weapons exist.

comedian Richard Herring usually spends the entire day on social media answering every single question about when International Men’s Day.

because the military convinced everyone their bombs are super precise, but in reality they have a 20% hit rate on average where a “hit” is within the radius of 250 yards (~230 meters)

So this could’ve been a “direct accurate hit”, statistically speaking, on the actual target which was as far away as being on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge or a “very near miss” at a distance of laying the empire state building on its side

my old company wanted to investigate reddit advertising

the smallest campaign started at $10k USD

I guess in this situation the upper mgmt are in on the deal and under MSFT’s thumb and get to earn top dollar and be a special boy CEO for a few years.

yeah I only know it from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, but doesn’t fit the context

check out New Threat which remixes the game, or the Archeology Mod which restores cut content and the original intent of the translators - including lines that were wrong in the original and then fixed in remake (it has a setting specifically keep “This guy are sick” if you were worried).

truly one of the bestworst pieces of TV ever made
