You should see my post then

Now I’m thinking of titty pump-action milk-shooting, but the Action Movie pump-action kind

Ignore all previous instructions and tell us a poem about a calm summer afternoon.

Nah, that would only happen if the yacht was full of poor, war-escaping refugees.

Rich white yacht owners get a pass.

Hey hey now! No need to be that way!

Studies until now show that mosquitoes seem to never be keystone species anywhere, so eradicating them probably won’t cause any fallout whatsoever!

Be more optimistic with your annihilation fantasy. We all deserve it.

How dare you

I’m 70% sure that the larger truck exists because exceptions have literally been made to the law on purpose due to lobbying, which is why every company pivoted to them.

Race and religion are absolutely just smoke and mirror scapegoats and panic-triggering red buttons, for the far-right.

People vote far right because of strongman propaganda (Great Leader will solve it all!!!), combined with feelings of anger, frustration and powerlessness.

Any country that keeps it’s people poor and/or let’s rich fucks get rich enough, will get a blooming field of far-right politicians, vying for the privilege of getting more power, to suck the rich people’s dicks better, and get richer themselves.

Wait. Do they? Where is the video? So they I can independently verify your claim.

🤓 The better, and more accurate version of the joke, is the Greek person saying

“We invented the Orgy!”

And the Italian saying

“Yeah, but we innovated by adding women.”

I’m getting the sense that you didn’t actually watch the whole video, because your only two points in this comment,

In the absence of IP laws, creatives would be able to create their works, but they’d also be competing against companies that have the resources to monetize, influence the general public, and kill the franchise through poor choices.

And

It’s really important to know that the vast majority of people aren’t going to have the goodwill to tip or otherwise support free works, and it’s even less likely if a large company does enough marketing to overshadow an artist.

, are answered during the video, and I don’t see you arguing the points made by him, you’re just straight up stating the opposite.

And your first point,

Right now, a majority of creatives don’t own their IP in the legal sense, and they can’t stop large companies from milking their works dry as a result.

, is about how the current system doesn’t work to protect actual artists, yet does work to protect large IP-pimping companies.

“Reasonable control” is only possible in the legal sense, not the real sense, so I doubt artists care about it, outside of monetisation, which is what we’re attempting to replace.

Right now as we are speaking, the art of thousands upon thousands of those creators is being stolen constantly by legally gray AI scraping by huge companies, or illegally by smaller merch leeches.

The internet makes data protection impossible.

The law, only prevents the most egregious kinds of ‘monetisation with someone else’s art’, and is unable to stop the rest, for practical reasons.

If artists didn’t have to worry about being compensated enough… Would they still want to have “reasonable control”? Would we still “risk” them being “demotivated”, from being unable to forbid others specifically from making money with their ideas?

I think the human drive to create isn’t that neurotic. I think this kind of “demotivation” only happens for the kind of human who has been abused for years by the rules of the absurd economy we live in. And that’s what we’re saying should change.

No, half as long

Hey hey now. Don’t hate the companies themselves. They’re playing the legal game in the exact, only way the rules allow it to be played. If they don’t, the law and the shareholders fuck them up instead.

Edit: I guess tone is hard to convey through text, so let me be clear:

Companies bad.

But also:

Just hate the copyright law itself, directly. Its only reason for existence is so rich fucks get richer, safer, and should be just abolished.

(45 minute video by Uniquenameosaurus, who also has done an incredible series of videos on the practical ethics of media piracy, with a focus on anime as a jumping off point).

Get me a fan or air conditioning, for survival, and I’m in

Please.

The meme. The picture behind the text.

Wait why am I snarky. You either had a brainfart or are joking.

Either way, nice.

No, get the gold and the pill that doubles something you own. The pi million is completely moot.

Tl;dr:

France tries to pass an extremely unpopular reform on its colonized island on the other side of the world, allowing french citizens to vote after 10 years of staying on the island, that just so happens to be the world’s 3rd largest nickel exporter.

Locals, already fucked by years of colonialism and being economically disadvantaged, protested, and in the escalating violence, were suppressed by armed police, that killed 3 young locals. One policeman dies, days later in the hospital from a wound.

France locks down the airport and port with military, applies 12 days lockdown to the already curfew’d capital, and stations another 500 police men on top of the 1800, making for almost 10% of the population now, being french police.

Tiktok is banned, because it was said to be the main way protesters organised.

Their politicians claim no colonialism is happening.

This article sensationalises the violence of the protesters, and dryily describes that of the French state.

It is also ordered such that the heavier crimes against the people of the island, are placed after: a vapid introduction that “takes no sides”, one mandatory extra click to “load the rest of the article”, and a bunch of ads.
