Does it take up space in your memory? Good pay me for it being there.
But also dont expect me to build anything new or fix the issues. If you are luck they might come in and give it a fresh coat of all bland colored paint.
Media owners have decided all IP (Intellectual Property) is the same as real property and want it to make rent

In UK we call that "leasehold"

Wait you mean like being on a mortgage but not having title on the deed or land? Cause that is also a thing.
Literally just look at the standard mobile home park.

Hooray, lot rent! And more mobile home parks are being bought by vulture capitalists, and they jack the rent up. Then the people who have been living there can't afford it. And they can't afford to move the house elsewhere. So they sell it (for nowhere near what it cost to buy) and have to find somewhere else to live.
It's super not cool.

Reminder: there is no such thing as "intellectual property". The term is loaded language designed to serve the interests of the copyright cartel and should be rejected.

Yeah, its honestly truly an awful thing that has happened to us that there can only be one example of a genre at a time.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Imagine when property owners decide that you also don't own property you buy and just buy the right to pay rent for it?
