It’s important to note that new scam sites won’t be picked up until someone reports them, so there’s still a chance you’ll be one of the first to a new domain.

Their whole purpose is to psychologically trick people into buying more than they can afford. It only takes elementary level math to see this coming.

The original concept of karma has you receiving both punishment and reward for every bit of both good and bad karma from your past lives. Nothing you do in your current life is dealt with until your next incarnation.

They very literally create shows and movies to be background noise and still be an understandable story. That’s why a lot of their originals are so bad if you sit down to watch them normally.

It depends on what they’re creating. There are definitely people that make good money from ads. The biggest problem is usually it’s an unstable income and you never know when the god of algorithm will just decide to nuke your channel for no reason.

They are the slow moving hand reaching for your wallet.

You could rip the batteries out of them and use them for a solar setup. The rest could be sold for scrap.

It is still possible to win wrongful termination suits in at-will states.

When they have someone worth voting for.

What else does Game Freak even make?

It’s not meant to be a rote memorization game. That sort of feature is meant to enhance the true point of the game.

A game they make for children, btw.

They’re trying to kill it. Anything they can squeeze out of existing customers in the meantime is just gravy.

Unfortunately, at least in the US (and from the sound of it, probably Japan), the patent office has the viewpoint of ‘patent everything and let the courts sort them out.’ The courts, on the other hand, defer to the patent office because ‘it’s they’re job so they must know what they’re doing.’

That’s probably Richard Garfield’s fault for setting precedent with his collectable card game patent.

Every accusation is a confession for them. They’ve been telling on themselves for decades.
