LSD is often distributed on small pieces of paper that you dose by putting them on your tongue and letting them dissolve.

It appears that this young man is attempting to “break on through to the other side” so he can “see” Allah.

Ha, exactly, just like how Holmes dressed like Steve Jobs.

See, I think copyright has value, I think it has just lost sight of its original goals and intentions because corporations (which never die) have vested interest in copyright being as long as possible.

According to the research of Rufus Pollock, optimal copyright term is between 15 and 38 years. This provides a range that the majority of copyright holders will make the majority of their income from copyright on, while also promoting the originals goals of copyright which was to allow artists to support themselves while also promoting creation of new media. The majority of copyrighted works only have a real shelf-life of 15 to 38 years before people aren’t really looking to pay for them, so why should we have copyright that exists beyond that when most will have already made all the profit they will ever make from their works within that timeframe.

I personally think UBI is a pretty weak replacement for copyright. UBI shouldn’t wholesale replace markets but rather be a safety net for people who are struggling and need a basic amount of support to reasonably survive.

What other poor decisions are they making all the time?

These people are so easy to fucking scam with buzzwords and the right “look.”

The research has been done, and speaks for itself.

Copyright needs to be shorter for a lot of reasons, but one of the main ones would be that if copyright was a reasonable length (15 to 30 years), this would all be a moot point and everyone could use books from within a recent timeframe for any kind of use, including AI training.

Further, this would make it feel a lot less hypocritical like piracy is okay for giant corporations and their products as long as they make oodles of money but piracy for regular people is still bad. I mean for fucks sake they put the guys from The Pirate Bay in prison for less, under the same argument: that they were profiting off of pirated works, just like AI companies are. Yet somehow it’s totes okay for OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Meta, and Twitter, and they’re not being sent to prison over it. It really re-enforces the feeling that there’s two justice systems, one for the obscenely rich where as long as they make crazy profit they can do whatever the fuck they want, and one for the poor where they get fucked six ways to Sunday for doing on a small, individual level what giant corporations do at industrial scale.

The solution is to fix copyright and make more works public domain and then nobody is going to prison and nobody is getting a free pass over what’s considered illegal for others.

what type of stuff you comment lol

Nothing of consequence!

Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time on this site, so I’m pretty glad to not see my name popping up in any of these comments, ha. Makes me feel less like a dingle with no life. (No offense intended to heavy posters, I’m just referring to how I feel about me. I wouldn’t ever think someone else who posted a lot was a dingle with no life, because a lot of people’s social lives happen online and that’s okay.)

For sure, but it’s also silly that it’s probably not great at what it does. So we’re sacrificing our privacy for something a human could do well enough on their own being replaced by something that might actually be even worse at being accurate.

I know it’s not easy or viable for a lot of people, but folks really should try to embrace the private tracker world if they can because it involves a lot of moderators who help prevent malware from being uploaded to begin with by having strict rules. It’s not completely perfect and not everything gets caught, but it’s got more safeguards than a public site without a moderation queue.

In my state, they haven’t had me come in to update my photo in nearly 10 years. I have both lost and then gained weight in that time, I have been balding, my hair is graying, and I have to wear glasses at all times while my photo doesn’t have me in glasses. I have never had a passport and have only now been looking into getting one considering apparently a Real ID just isn’t enough proof for citizenship apparently.

I can’t imagine that the old blurry photo on my license would easily be matched to my current face. Seems like it would be easier for a human to make that determination.

Talk about shared human experience of still writing the previous year down in the first month of the new year.

Sorry my memory wasn’t good here, it was Pasqually’s Pizza.

Technically just shy of one year of this.

They’re trying really fucking hard to make fetch happen.

Which is dumb because neofetch, fastfetch, hyfetch, and uwufetch all already exist!

I am so sorry that you have family like this. I may be annoyed with my family a lot, but they’re at least reasonable people who see the sickness that is happening and are just as disgusted with it as we are. I literally cannot even imagine struggling with family who thought this was deserved somehow.

Love these lyrics, gonna have to give that song a spin, thanks.

Trump, the Supreme Court said otherwise regarding the presidency to save your ass, you fucking dipshit.
