A trademark can be lost if it becomes part of the common vocabulary, like what happened to Sony's Walkman.

I slowed it down to 75% speed playback and I'm pretty sure he's saying "Things and Reams" or "Things and WIngs"... off to Google it.

Trademarking a common use word or term is a great way to get me not to buy your products. Green Stuff world did it with color shift paint. Which was a term in use in the auto industry for a long time. Does it personally affect me? No. I just don’t like supporting these kind of petty corporate tactics.

Fun Fact: I actually own the word meeple, I just let anyone use it cause I'm not evil!

Economy has shown that inflation has gone down drastically, but corporate greed is the top driving factor currently. So anyone who keeps telling you it's inflation, it's not, evidence from various country reserves show that. We're now in greedflation.

Expecting capitalists not to be greedy would be foolish. Calling it out, like calling a seller a price gouger, is a normal reaction but that’s how society works when we have the incentives we do. What incentive(s) would you advocate changing? I don’t ask to disagree with you; I feel the same way. I also have the feeling that we should accept things as they are unless there’s a solution to the problem.

You better be taking care of yourself, Alex! I’m worried about you with so much travel and stress. You’re setting yourself up to get horribly sick as your body’s way of forcing you to slow down. Hugs.

8:00 Or find new customers. I seem to remember reading about some magazine realizing its readership of the past X years was probably now interested in certain kinds of things based on their life stage and making a push to cover those things, but it turned out those people weren't their current readership; people were coming in and going out, but their identity was what attracted their audience to them and didn't need changing.

This was a great opportunity to discuss some of the new features that will be released with the Horrified Cthulhu. They are making it compatible with their Greek Monster set and have a huge mission for Cthulhu.

Still looking forward to the FunForge video, especially given the reports that FunForge won't respond to BoardGameWire following up since no update was provided in May as promised by the CEO in the article.

In the UK being made redundant is different to being fired. If you are made redundant you will have a notice period and get a severance payment. It also means your role is being made redundant, and the person in that role is no longer required. If you are fired you leave the job immediately and get no payoff. Being fired only happens in cases of gross misconduct.
