Maybe something could be hacked together to fix copyright, but further complication there is just going to make accurate enforcement even harder. And we already have Google (in YouTube) already doing a shitty job of it and that’s… One of the largest companies on earth.

We should just kill copyright. Yes, it’ll disrupt Hollywood. Yes it’ll disrupt the music industry. Yes it’ll make it even harder to be successful or wealthy as an author. But this is going to happen one way or the other so long as AI can be trained on copyrighted works (and maybe even if not). We might as well get started on the transition early.

Ah you’re right. Torterra then

I imagine it’ll look like paras

That threshold is like, slightly below average intelligence

And my toes too, just to be sure

I got a lot of down votes, but ^ is exactly the point. A man being raped by a woman is so far outside of everyone’s thoughts that it doesn’t even cross their mind when seeing an image like this. But the same joke with genders reversed would get people with pitchforks.

I don’t think there was any actual rape here, as the comedian considers these encounters consensual. Which is the important bit factually. But if you couldn’t even imagine interpreting it that way then maybe you should think about why not?

Rape is a serious crime and jokes about it are part of the culture that encourages and enables it

You’re thinking like he still needs to be elected again and popularity matters.

One way or the other, Trump is going to rule America until he dies or is in prison.

2.5M sounds ok to me. Even 10M would get the 99.9% of the benefit. The important part is that it’s capped.

Lol. Lmao even.

Rufus is great! I worked with the maintainer to fix a bug in hardware they didn’t have and it was a very pleasant experience.

Your carton did a shrinkflation on you. And a regular inflation

Yes, arson.

I like to throw a bullion cube in there too.

How much do you blame Germans? As in the ones from 1940s?

We might not have started killing people yet but the signs are here, for anyone who cares to know their history. We had a Nazi salute at the inauguration for Christ sake.

Yeah. It’s shocking that your friends and neighbors are party to this. It was to many Germans too.

Ok, so imagine that you’re a billionaire and a really smart dude (as claimed by so many people on the internet). And you get into government and appear on TV and want to look good. You might hire a publicist, a PR team, some speechwriters, hell how about a body language consultant. When you go on TV you’re going to project exactly the image you intend to. Anything less would be careless and stupid, right?

So yeah. This was a Nazi salute. And if you really want to argue that it wasn’t, that Musk doesn’t even know what a Nazi is, you gotta also accept that he’s grossly incompetent and should not be in government at all. Throw him out, we didn’t vote for him.

That sounds like cannibalism with extra steps.

Tasty tasty cannibalism

Play around with this for a bit: https://networthify.com/calculator/earlyretirement?income=50000&initialBalance=0&expenses=20000&annualPct=5&withdrawalRate=4

Consider spending 30k yearly when you’re earning 50k. You can retire in about 20 years if you keep to that. You really gotta keep to it though, spending 40k means you’d have to work almost 40 years instead.

Now compare that to spending 30k when making 100k. Now you can retire in 9 years. Even if you have to spend literally twice as much time+effort doing so, you end up with more of your life leftover.

This is not to say that you should take a job you hate, but rather to say that making more money does make your life better, but only up to a point. If you find a job that you genuinely enjoy, great do that. If you’re picking between different things you dislike, translate it back into years instead of trying to understand it in made up funny money numbers. And when you get there, stop.

I could really use a little more rifling in the barrel
