  • So, then, according to corpo logic, you’ve setup a system that automatically repeatedly breaks the law (copyright , maybe? Ianal).

    And if the liability is on you for hosting a federation service with no control over the content and you are accountable for the replicated content, then it is effectively the end of federation. Again, not a lawyer but given how much the law favors corps over individual rights in the US it seems like it would track.






  • I admit prior to the pandemic I wouldn’t have minded going to a somewhat mediocre but kinda entertaining movie as part of a night out. Now it is too expensive and the theaters are depressing shadows of their former selves and unless I 100% know a movie is good and can get 2-3 family members to agree I’m not going to a theater.

    I think something else that has happened is the breadth of available media in the streaming age means it is easy for individuals to find a show or movie that fits their individual tastes. No compromise needed. I know in my house getting everyone to agree to watch a single show or movie is impossible. No way we’re all piling in the car, driving through ridiculous traffic to sit in a dirty theater that smells like warmed over urinal cakes to watch something none of us are particularly interested in. Why do that when I can chill watching reruns of Stargate SG-1, my spouse is rocking Tik Tok, my kid is watching Twitch?

    Movies as a collective experience died circa 2020.










  • I don’t know… At this point I think you’d have the blister deniers and then they’d try to treat it with cornstarch and toenail clippings. And some aspiring group of power hungry assholes would turn the blister mongers against the pure skinned to create a divide they could monetize.

    Scary to think we might be on the best timeline.

    Let’s not put the blame only on the parents. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds working for a corp would understand that taking credit for work does not mean the work got done.

    Assuming the diapers aren’t tracked by barcode and there isn’t an independent inspector validating each operation, I would be MORE wary about my kid being well taken care of at a place that measures and tracks work this way. Especially since the types of management that would think this was a good idea are also the type to not understand how work actually gets done and drives to making the metrics look good at the expense of actually caring for human children.



  • They had bratwurst for a brief period in select locations. Don’t think they were called McBrats, but damn they were yummy. If I suddenly found myself transported to 1996 I’d seek out McBrats and the bacon cheese burger burrito from Taco Bell.

    Then my geriatric heart would explode and I would miss out on buying BitCoin, but it would be worth it.
