but DOES believe in rules and various degrees of enforcement to defend the powerless from the powerful.
So, kind of a soft government? What about roads and utilities? What really turns me off of libertarian is the belief that people have to pay for their own roads and fireman. The rich will only survive then, kind of like how our healthcare is right now. But if you’re saying that the government is ran more like a co-op, then I get it.
That’s not what I mean, I know you will get it. But US politics has a lot of misinformation going on, mixing up terms the US uses for certain things can make the misinformation thrive. In US terms, you sound like a liberal. You don’t want a nanny state, you want a government owned by the people.
It’s kind of like when the UK says fanny, they mean vagina and the US means butt. It does and will cause misinformation to thrive. Just because we have 2 different meanings, that doesn’t mean either is wrong.
I will never understand that version of what you’re talking about. They should just buy out some land and build their own town, but watch out for bears.
Every generation has shitty and awesome people. Look around you at your own generation, you know it’s true. These kind of memes are meant to divide, please don’t fall for it.
Just like abortion, retirement age, infrastructure spending, those things change and will be changed. They may change for the better or become far worse depending on your perspective.
Boomers experienced the draft and went to war, gen x experienced a deep recession, millennials experienced a deep recession and wars with a dose of Sept. 11th sprinkled in. War, recessions and having a hard time happens to every generation. Some people are born making home runs and got out of being drafted, some people didn’t. Getting old does make you lose empathy, but from my experience dealing with my grandparents, it’s because they don’t think anyone’s listening or respects them so they go all in. We can all learn from each other.
The billionaires, corporations and lack of power for the common people are the issues to be addressed, not the elderly. Only a small percentage of people make all of the decisions that are making all of the generations have a fucking hard time right now.
If you’re going to go by all of your generalizations, then you have to understand that the young don’t vote, that’s why the old make such a difference. If the young voted, we would have a different world.
But again, the corporations and lack of power for the common people (union busting, price-fixing wages, taking away rights, etc.) are what’s killing all generations.
Seriously, you’re sticking up for the corporations and ultra rich who use extreme propaganda to influence everyone? My generation was lucky to escape that because we’re ignored, that’s why we see what a con this all is to divide the two largest generations.
Definitely not the ultra rich, they can’t relate. They’re like toddlers and middle schoolers, they think everyone has had the same experience. I had one wealthy friend that grew up that way that was sincerely a good person and donated tons of expertise and traded for services for those who couldn’t afford them. They actually didn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t buy their condo or cars in full and in cash, because it’s so much more financially smart that way. Go figure.
So every boomer makes every decision at these huge corporations? You don’t even make sense. Have you talked to any dude just out of finance in college? They’re not trying to help their generation, lol. They’re trying to take the next dude for a ride, and so it has ever been.
I removed all but duckduckgo. I not only had to change it back to duckduckgo, but remove it too. This was the first time in years that I had to do anything like that. I used to have to remove them every update, but I think I had a malware copy back then.
It’s not a matter of better, it’s a matter of quicker, easier and probably free. You have it backwards, if you get good AI art, then you have good/great artists that they’re pulling from. Think of all of those animations that already treat their animators poorly, they’re going to replace them in a heart beat. Same with video games. I don’t think these artists ever felt special, lol.
I hope originals will have a way to copyright it and if an AI uses it for anything, pays the artist. We have to keep up with this, or it’s going to be a very dark world where imagination goes quiet.
I disagree with that article 100%. They’re missing the spirit of copyright law which is to protect artists that create original work. They already try to protect musicians and do this in music with sampling. But instead of one artist stealing parts of your song or the spirit of the song, they’re coming after visual art from every angle because it’s a computer and like 10,000 people doing that. We should be able to copyright our work and have to agree for it to be used, the end. It’s ridiculous and greedy of these huge companies to do anything else.
Also, how fucked up is it that they liken it to the little guy competing with big companies, that’s not a thing. If they used public domain art, I don’t think any of this would be an issue. Do we own our own voice, imagination, likeness? I say yeah, we do. The corporations shouldn’t have the rights to those.
The article is only going by technicalities in the law, we need to close that loophole and go with the spirit of the law. We need to protect the human artist’s imagination and creations.
I’m not really sure what this is about.
Is this:
but what you want will hurt all artists and give corporations the unprecedented legal tools to take down anything they don’t feel like having around.
We can’t play by the existing rules, why would we want to? We need to make new rules. The actors union knew where this was going and created new rules for their actors and the visual arts need to do the same.
I think you’re going to regret your side of the conversation because this is not going to end well for artists if people like you get your way. You just want free art, free music and free entertainment unless you make it, that’s usually how it goes. And when I say “make it”, I mean steal from other artists with the right tag words.
Calling this stealing is self-serving, manipulative rhetoric that unjustly vilifies people and misrepresents the reality of how these models work.
So whatever you do for a living, give it to me free. We all stand on the shoulders of giants after all. Management? You have to manage for free, we learned that shit from our ancestors. Research, come on, I want it alllllll. Medical, heal me for free with the equipment that was based on older versions. Music? There aren’t that many chords to begin with, you didn’t create a note. Electrician? Work for free, you didn’t invent electricity or how to connect to the grid. Etc., etc., etc., etc.,. etc., etc., etc.,…
like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

If you suffer from allergic or any kind of reactions to MSG, watch for those in the ingredients. I’m not sure about soylent, but pediasure and boost definitely have it in it.
Lmao, it’s a thing. It’s probably because it raises your histamine levels, but it’s still a thing. You’re one of those that thinks because you don’t have it, nobody does.
It didn’t feel like they were stable and would take care of us though, the nuclear drills sure didn’t help. Also, I know a lot of army vets that weren’t drafted but went to school with the army bill. There are people out there that still know that war sucks. Also, the kids now have school shooting drills, they kind of live with the potential of war and some have seen it. There does seem to be an incredible breakdown with the money in politics, no shame and we’re extremely close to having a dictator after they attempted a coup, I’ll give you that.

The nuclear bro admitted nuclear is expensive to build, cities and towns could help with the costs, it would build jobs and it’s been tested for decades. I remember being a kid and hearing about celebrities putting in solar panels and it being cost effective in about 5 years.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?
