Copyright exists to solve a real problem (as a society we value the creation of art, but also artists need money to live, so there needs to be some way for them to turn their art into money), but I don't think it's terribly controversial to say that the current implementation of copyright, where nothing enters public domain until the author's grandchildren are in retirement homes and in the meantime most copyrights are squatted on by massive corporations who have no interest in doing anything with them, including preservation, is hosed.

Those corporations are run by amateurs. If your employees are beholden to you for health insurance then you've got leverage over them. If they do something silly like go on strike you can just yank their health insurance. wash bucket has a new favorite as of 00:10 on Mar 1, 2024 |

That’s controversial as all hell. I could get eighty percent of both houses of Congress to condemn you for saying that.

That's the other thing. If they're Mormon they gotta have a lot of family in Utah, how excited is she going to be about moving to the Bay Area? There's Mormon's there, so they wouldn't be alone, but I'm guessing getting pregnant soon is part of their plan, and as long as they aren't assholes it's usually better to have your own parents around when you're having kids. Edit: I just realized the fact he wants to take her to California might be why she puts up with the dork goggles. Air Skwirl has a new favorite as of 01:58 on Mar 1, 2024 |

The same thing happened with Google glass, people just like making fun of dipshit tech people. The apple thing probably doesn't hurt, since it's basically a $3500 paperweight when, not if, the myriad hardware problems crop up that apple refuses to fix. But, well, that's how cults tend to go.

I went to a wedding where the guy was basically an excommunicated mormon and his whole family (that showed up) was deep into that poo poo and his dad was like a pastor or some poo poo. Not only was I surprised any of his family was there…. The wedding loving suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. Not drinking is one thing. Not partying at a literal loving party is another. Goddamn.

If we decouple having money from continuing to live we'll get more furry porn, musical theatre about slavers, stupid modern art bullshit, adult animated "comedy", nerd rap, or Lets Plays of borderline pedophiliac videogames than ever before. Despite this, it's still probably a good idea.

I actually read the Atlantic article before I saw the internet discourse on it, and I totally believed that the story is true. I just interpreted it differently. I saw it being similar to that old story where a goon was sitting on a park bench with an entire pizza (?) and got scared of some friendly stoners and threw his pizza at them before running away. I assumed the HR person lightheartedly ribbed him about eating chick fil a, and a couple other people snapped jokingly in agreement, and the guy had a conservative persecution complex meltdown over it.

It's important to be accurate about what is in the poems, so that people don't get the wrong idea about how people lived and wrote back in that era. It was triple fare.

So in this morning's roundup Elon's suing OpenAI for making an AI without him, Trump is trying to pull an IPO pump-and-dump stock-split scam to pay for his fines, and now I find out that there's a statistically significant number of people who find that picture of someone breaking a chocolate bar with their thumbs to be alien and wrong because that's not how you do it? Lord help me make it through this flat gently caress friday

There is a brand of fancy chocolate in the UK called Tony's (it's pretty drat good) but the grooves are really random/all over the shop and it it makes it really annoying to break off a piece. Stop trying to be random Tony, let me eat your delicious chocolate normally.

Best I can tell, there are adults who do this and insist it is the easiest way, despite how easily disproven that claim is. I mean, it'll break either way just fine but you do that by bending the piece as a whole so it breaks along the weak point. Not by..wildly jamming your finger into the groove until it breaks (as you say, messily)
