Even though it’s legal in Vermont, the fines and penalties are rather harsh for over possession or over cultivation. A normal person, i.e. a non-government official, AKA us plebians, would likely be facing felony charges for growing a similar amount.

Maaaaan, I loved dropout.tv! I was really bummed about the cop show cameo stuff though. it was hard to stop watching but I just don’t support shilling for the police in any capacity. Great group of talented entertainers though.

He only feels that way because he’s now too far behind to have any hope of being one of the gatekeepers.

Hey thanks for sharing! I’d love to set one of these up for my kid (he’s 4) to play old emulators with. Is there a way to get it working in a kiosk type mode where he can’t get lost in a system menu or otherwise “stuck” outside of a game? I know I’ve configured emulators to auto launch roms before, but can the psp be setup to auto launch the emulator on startup, for example?

Capitalism is caustic. A company positioning itself to ride the success of others to maximize their own profits is too reminiscent of the music industry for my tastes. Secondarily, I’ve gone through this so many times with so many other platforms. The “maximally grow the user base” phase is the beginning of the enshitification process. It’s much easier in my mind to abandon ship at this phase, rather than help them build a bigger mouse trap with my ad revenue, to ensnare the next hapless fool.

I will say it’s a little ironic you mentioned Veritasium considering the channel was literally bought into by a corporation focused and maximizing revenue of YouTube channels. Good content, sure, but I think it’s indicative of exactly what’s wrong with the platform as a whole.

Also, to everyone and no one, if you like the content from Technology Connections, Veritasium, etc., AlphaPhoenix is likely your speed, too.
