And like. I’d be fine with that if the primary function in practice was to ensure the original creator gets financially compensated for their work and then they can pay for copyright controlled distribution services if that helps therm make sure they get paid but that is not why or how current law is used and I’m kinda losing that it even can be.

This reminds me of a book I read recently. I get like 30 $1 paperbacks at the library used book sale every spring / fall. When I’m done reading them they go on the unit book cart for the patients unless theyre wildly objectionable (and it takes a lot for me, I recently put out some only mildly tasteful furry badger shapeshifter smut).

Anyway this year I got something called “the king’s hounds” where the back summary sounded lit but it turned out to be super rapey (like Sean Connery bond just keep doing it until they shut up rapey). And it’s been sitting on my coffee table collecting dust since I finished it because it feels wrong to just throw it away but I’m definitely not giving it to my patients (who like, ALL have rape PTSD for some reason). I probably will wind up throwing it out but. Fuck. It just feels wrong to destroy a book for some reason even though that’s probably the only thing to do.

Ty!

Or an extremely good one.

It’s been this way since choosing who to buy copper from in Mesopotamia, probably longer.

I feel like the answer is to have all competitions be centralized on special competition computers. You physically travel to a centralized convention or whatever and have to use equipment set up just for the competition that’s been checked for mechanical and software fairness the same as the ball etc get tested for a professional sports game. You can practice at home with whatever software you want but if you want to be properly competitive you’re going to want to practice on an uncracked game (or even cracked against you).

The older I get the more I lose faith that the concept will ever be used to actually benefit creators.

Apparently a hospital in my network is trialing a tool to generate assessment flowsheets based on an audio recording of a nurse talking aloud while doing a head to toe assessment. So if they say, you’ve got a little swelling in your legs it’ll mark down bilateral edema under the peripheral vascular section. You have to review before submitting but it seems nice.

Is it still made by a human if they use the stroke smoothing, clone healing, or edge detection tools in photoshop or gimp? Where’s your exact line?

I won’t say my grammar is perfect, but I do try not to misspell things and insult other people’s intelligence at the same time.

I’ve spent my whole adulthood working in hospitals. They’re shitholes, every single last one of them. Do every single thing you can to never be in one.

Drink water, plain water. Eat whole grains and leafy vegetables. Treat red meat like a dessert (and if you’re morally opposed to meat, make sure you’re still getting all your essential proteins). Find a physical activity you enjoy and do it at least three times a week. Either join an organized religion or specifically curate a group of people you do a weekly activity with who will come check on you if you suddenly stop showing up. And while you’re at it pick a mindfulness activity that you either enjoy or that brings you peace (prayer qualifies but so can yoga or a lot of other things). Avoid nicotine and alcohol at all costs. Go easy on the weed, and avoid anything more interesting without guidance from either a medical professional or some kind of traditional expert on those substances. And if a competent doctor listens to your specific situation and tells you to do or not do something I’ve mentioned, listen to them instead of me.

Decide who you would want to speak for you on your death or near-deathbed. Choose people both trustworthy and level-headed who will put your wishes over their own emotions. Choose multiple people, because it’s not unlikely that any one person will be in the car wreck with you. Talk to those people about what you want to happen or not happen so they can best carry out your wishes. Sign some kind of legally binding paperwork that cements them as the decision maker, especially if your first choice is not the default the state would choose (parent, spouse, sibling, adult child, etc). You can write whatever you want then to do on the paper, but the chosen person will have the right to override it if they think you would want them to. So sign the paper but don’t forget to TALK to them about it.

And good luck because while this will give you the best odds, the universe might also just decide to fuck you in particular anyway.

It is but one of the older versions that eliminated the “eat the whole map” mode that was the best mode. Also I can’t get it to load the second level so idk if there’s even any other map types (my second favorite is the office but it’s even a bit too easy.

Hole . io (spaces otherwise it’ll create a link). It’s an ad and transaction ridden garbage game but it’s so satisfying and nothing else in that subgenre has graphics that cute.

Honestly I’ve found the effects are more personal. I like interacting with the sh mods more; they’re a good combo of decent morals but also playful irreverence. They don’t get on me for honest jokes, but they’re also very willing to be like nah buddy it’s time to log off for a few days when they need to. (Hubs prefers the Twitter format if anybody knows a masto instance with similar vibes)
