Yeah, there is plenty of Supreme Court precedence on this.

I don’t think the issue is that it’s new or different. I think the problem is the amount. It feels like pop culture is a firehose now. It definitely feels like the democratization of culture that happened with the rise of the internet has kind of saturated our ability to process things.

The whole point of copyright in the first place, is to encourage creative expression

…within a capitalistic framework.

Humans are creative creatures and will express themselves regardless of economic incentives. We don’t have to transmute ideas into capital just because they have “value”.

Run Jellyfin instead. I don’t know how Plex has stayed as popular as it has.

That thing about when he was in China was a shitshow from top to bottom. I had never even heard of the “controversy” so it was probably some bullshit the moderators threw in to appease the conspiracy lunatics and appear balanced. Then his answer was a bunch of nothing and flailing around. I don’t think he even answered it. The closest he got was “that’s what I said” and didn’t address the accuracy of the statement or an explanation in his answer. And then he stopped with a few seconds left in his allotted time and froze up and stammered for the rest of it.

Tim Walz is, by all appearances, a stand up guy and smart as a tack. But that isn’t really what drives these debates. If they were won and lost on the merits, no Republican would have been elected in my lifetime. But they’re not about substance and by pretty much every measure that answer and interaction was a doozy of a loser.

But that was the only answer that he flubbed like that, so the night wasn’t a total disaster for Walz. It just wasn’t a win.

People fuck with Wikipedia all the time. It’s honestly a wonder that it is usable at all and not a wasteland of defaced articles and bullshit. It is a real testament to the volunteers that keep it up.

I hope whoever gets the website keeps it exactly the same in looks and tone, and instead of contributing to misinformation actively correct misinformation online and post accurate stories. Keep the vibe and over-the-top voice tho.

Pretty sure it’s not an official plate. The sovereign citizens will print their own. Sometimes like this in an effort to fool cops into thinking its a regular plate so they don’t get pulled over.

Our voices didn’t matter. It didn’t matter how we voted.

My suspicion is that she feels that way because she lost. A wild guess, but I think she’s so selfish that she can’t imagine other people’s voice/desires mattering as much as her own personal wishes; their votes shouldn’t count like her’s does.

Don’t forget the “distinct odor” lol. That just says to me that the cops lied through their teeth to get the warrant.
