It's...a problem.
The second volume of White Sand specifically was out of print for a long time. There is/was an omnibus edition published a few years ago that Diamond royally screwed up on delivering on time, but I think should be able to be ordered at least?
Disney is also actively arguing in court that if you use the free trial you can't sue them for anything. Ever.
So there's that to worry about now.
They played with it in DS9.
Quark is disgusted his mom is a "twisted degenerate" that campaigns for (Ferengi) women's rights and wears clothes around the house and such.
Perfect should not be the enemy of Good. Reforming the entire system is not something that just happens. It takes several steps in the right direction and you have to start somewhere.
Anything post-2022, and probably post-2020, is suspect on Reddit because it became abundantly clear how steerable it was and how easy to generate sales as long as you didn't do anything too "suspicious". Current 'ad guides' tell advertisers not to link things because just saying the name reads as more authentic.
Before that it was legitimately people discussing, e.g., the best flashlight for x-y-z purposes. But a decent amount of old stuff has been gutted by people deleting their posts/accounts.
Sovereign Citizens are basically a cargo cult. They think that finding the right legalese will work like a magic spell. If they can find the right combination of words, they'll get the outcome they desire.
The "only subject to contracts" thing is basically their belief that they are only bound by contracts they've agreed to, not things like the laws of the place they currently are. Hence doing something crazy like making a fake license plate and thinking that 'counts' because he's "issuing his own license" without the need to do silly things like take a driving test to use public roads.
Mostly I think its fine for all that.
But there's a special circle of hell for projects that rely on it for "documentation".
I get the temptation, I really do. But once you're taking money or have more than a couple people involved and semi-organized you really need at least a small wiki/git-hub landing page with the basics.
I know documentation is a separate skillset and a lot of work in its own right but projects can also stagnate and die because there isn't any.
It should be. But I would be extremely surprised if everything in the terms of service isn't worded something like "you're buying a license to view this content that can be revoked whenever".
You can also form very strong opinions early in your career and not know when they're now invalid due to changes in tech/industry.
Was getting a quote for a new heat pump and had the guy tell me they were worthless if it got too cold. There have been consumer heat pumps that work down to -15°C with very little efficiency loss for well over a decade at this point. He had just been used to them not being worth it for long enough that he "didn't believe it".
Cain is also worried about people killing him after he's banished. Genesis chapter 6 talks about the "Sons of God" finding the "daughters of humans" beautiful.
The bible treats Adam n' family like Greek demi-gods or Norse giants that mingle with humans who came from "gestures vaguely".
...and they shouldn't. It's a government service vehicle, form and function over aesthetics.
They could've bought a fleet of EVs off the shelf but they would'n't've been fit for service and more expensive per mile/year of use.
