I am so confused, i saw this post like 20 minutes ago… how do i have an almost 2y old comment on it?
Anyway i am pretty sure i meant greedy corporations will eventually start exploiting eachother and the systems that allow them to exist.

131·2 days agoI highly recommend “hypernormalization” on youtube.

I cannot stomach mushrooms, this makes my skin crawl. But i do love a good homemade pizza and i bet these where absolutely amazing.
Can i ask what ratio water to flour and oven settings you used?
2·2 days agoNowhere does it say he followed her trough a store, or that she ever entered the store.
“DiGuglielmo inexplicably abandoned his car in the through lane of travel" and went into the store, before shortly returning to his vehicle”
It is definitely possible that he is a racist, i honestly do get the same vibe. But where just reading a barebones article with many unanswered questions. Making suck assumption is very easy from where we stand.
Were talking Europe here, i even said that in context of America i can’t blame the women.
Neutralise yeah but not with guns or permanent bodily harm. Hold you on the floor till the cops come maybe.
I don’t think many people have full time security in Europe though, not even politicians.
Harassment is like trowing a stinky egg or yelling. You will get fined for doing that and maybe a little jail.
Did some quick research on harassment of politicians in Europe.
“During the 2024 European elections campaign, there were serious incidents in several countries. Nevertheless, acts of physical violence remain isolated and less frequent in the EU than in many other parts of the world”

I thought you where just joking.
This can only be a life threatening situation in a country that normalises carrying murder tools.
I bet in Europe a threat would be “i will call the cops because i know i am in my rights” and those cops are just going to do their boring administrative job and not murder you.
I don’t blame the woman in context of it being America but the rational response is you get back in your car, lock the doors, possibly drive and call the cops about a dangerous mentally ill person.
Definitely over thinking this:
Devil does not want angel to see it coming so stands normal with the pie held low so its not visible.
Only during the passing does devil quickly turn their hips to hit the pie. Then naturally turns hips back into the normal position.
The pie is slightly sticky so it does keep hanging.
What bothers me is where do they come from? They don’t start at the same level. Ive heard of a chance to still get to heaven after hell/purgatory, besides one famous case i have not heard of angels being send to hell.
Also i don’t think religion says anything about souls becoming an angel or demon, they co-exist and as far as i know don’t leave their domain.
21·3 days agoWhat a great idea sir, you are so smart and wise, we will start preparations immediately.
291·3 days agoI have no clue but i am here to support your scientific endeavour in this matter.
Cant?
Who is gonna stop him cause the law definitely won’t.
1·4 days agoI feel that is moving the goal post a bit but i am a history nerd so i will happily read about any historical examples of what you speak. (Not sarcasm i really really love learning and being proven wrong)
Here is what Wikipedia had to say about the orgins of copyright law (tldr its censorship by church and state)
Tap for spoiler
The origin of copyright law in most European countries lies in efforts by the church and governments to regulate and control the output of printers.[12] Before the invention of the printing press, a writing, once created, could only be physically multiplied by the highly laborious and error-prone process of manual copying by scribes. An elaborate system of censorship and control over scribes did not exist, as scribes were scattered and worked on single manuscripts.[13] Printing allowed for multiple exact copies of a work, leading to a more rapid and widespread circulation of ideas and information (see print culture).[12] In 1559 the Index Expurgatorius, or List of Prohibited Books, was issued for the first time.[13]
There is an earlier story about a dispute of a copied work which ended in a battle its said to have caused 3000 casualties, an unreliable number but enough to assume this wasn’t exactly David vs Goliat either.
You must be joking, the vast majority of patents are owned by large corporations.
Can you give me one example of where copyright is protecting an average wealth citizen?
Enforcing copyright requires you to have the economic resources to create lawsuits when it gets infringed. Sometimes enforcing your rights can costs into millions of dollars. Infringers often have the resources to delay the legal case till you the rightsholder have no more money left to continue.
Places like china don’t care about it either and they will just copy and sell on the western market anyway.
Some sources for the later
It would be way less of a problem for sure, but not moot. An individual inventor can still stop other people from using an identical solution simply for being first to file the paperwork.
Some things (field of medicine/environmentalism) can’t wait 15 years for an effective democratised solution.
The idea that someone would be rewarded for limiting access to such solution sickens me.
Naturally they would deserve global praise possible in the form of a reward for creating the idea that changed the world for the better, but capitalism is designed to not do so.
To often in industry the actual creative inventor gets nothing, while the company they work under gets the patent to exploits the demand.
Firmly an example of capitalism cannibalism themselves.
It may not abolish copyright but it is causing cracks.
Copyright was always a scam, non personal information should be free. Multiple people can have the same good idea, walling of access to a good idea behind capital blocks human progress.
Before anyone says something, yes artists deserve to eat… just like everyone else. Being economically productive should not be a condition for that. Make your art for fun and enjoy the honor of being copied with a sidedish of UBI.
Did you know that it was originally a band aid for combat situations?
Also that nowadays the industry massively prefers gaffer tape cause it can be removed without leaving a mess.
