Why is it possible to sell copies of public domain books when we have libraries?
because somebody physically produces the book wdym?
btw just because something is in the public domain, doesn’t mean that every variant attached to it is, just the one specifically defined under law, a book that is in the public domain, but also on the shelves of a retailer, might not be a public domain work at all. Because it’s a different work entirely.
I’m not even sure you can prevent the production of a work, just because it’s public domain, you just can’t hold copyright on it, so you could theoretically print and sell a book in the public domain legally, as long as you don’t declare that you own copyright.
if you logically extend it into the future, where this would be an actual thing that actually happened, yes at some point it would become rape, it’s just not really a thing you should argue.
People say shit like this and I wonder how much meat space experience they have with… really, anything.
it doesn’t really matter, if you’re saying that you could have sex with anybody specifically one person, and that person doesn’t consent (which is a very real possibility) then at that point you would necessitate violating consent.
It’s just not a healthy way to think about sex.
Anyone else read “The Anxious Generation” yet?
unfortunately not, i’m busy watching the downfall of the US society atm, so.
ah, yeah no that would do it, i wouldn’t report shit like this either. People are entitled to posting their dogshit opinions on the internet (myself included lmao)
And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?
genetics are a constant truth, so the argument should be based from the perspective that genetics mean something, in regards to genocide and eugenics, not that genetics itself is flawed, because genetics didn’t create this perception, humans did.
edit: retards was a typo of regards lmao, what an unfortunate typo.
it’s the internet, and this is a post about blackholes and a bird being recorded. This is a tad bit out of place for what it is, not surprised people downvoted it, probably because they thought it was irrelevant, oh well, that’s the internet, sometimes people like what you have to say, other times they don’t. Don’t think about it too hard, at the end of the day it’s just internet karma.
the paper doesnt necessarily need to absorb the ink, the ink just needs to dry on the surface is such a way that it adheres well enough it doesn’t rub off, or stay wet.
So really, you want a high adhesion, quick drying ink, which would basically let you write on any surface it’ll stick to.
there’s no context, that’s the problem. Depending on their friendship this could be very normal, or it could be very weird, without any context this is batshit insane.
Them calling it “unlimited” when there’s a limit is wrong, but so is using all of the available upload bandwidth 100% of the time on a cheap home VPN service when you consider the current market prices for data transfer. Mine’s limited to 2Mbps. Seems fair for $7/month or whatever it is.
they shouldn’t make it unlimited them, skill issue on their part.
If you’re selling me 1Gb networking speeds, with no bandwidth limit, it’s not my fault for using all of it lol. I’m just using what i pay for.
that’s true, and theres probably some truth to it, but it’s not a direct 1:1 comparison, so it’s not just fair to say it’s only gun control laws, when there are about 10 reasons it could be actually influencing it, though realistically a few of those are probably gun control related.
statistically, someone who goes outside, unless they go into a shitty part of town, where this kind of violence is more common, isn’t going to be exposed to it.
It’s like claiming that because we bombed japan in ww2, that the US population has radiation sickness.
The virctims in gang violence include innocent bystanders.
i mean it certainly can, but statistically, gang violence is going to be between gangs. Whether or that happens to be among specific racial, or ethnic groups is a different story entirely.
Of course there is also the question of gang violence hitting non violent members of the local community which may or may not be involved in that gang specifically, but that’s a different problem.
We all know exactly what you’re really saying here and you’ll deny and make excuses about it.
yeah, and it’s that specific communities, which tend to be correlative with racial/ethnic groups (you wouldn’t disagree with me on this one, judging by your comment acknowledging this fact) tend to have issues with discriminate, or indiscriminate violence between members of their community, for various reasons.
This is usually a phenomenon restricted to certain geographic areas though, it rarely makes it way outside of these areas, to places where “mass violence” is most commonly reported on. Because it’s not common.
quick edit: all i’m going to say, is that im not reading into the racial/ethnic problem here, you are. I’m just pointing out that gang violence tends to be isolated, concentrated, and easy to avoid.
