Good morning, Sunday morning

We disavow, don’t do it, just don’t do it

yeah, don’t do it. But if you are going to do it…

I’m not sure why you are so worried about this. I am saying that this does not happen anymore, but there was a time when there were lawsuits against infringers that were in the range of $10k-$20k per infringement. Apologies that I don’t know the ins and outs of civil law.

Under the law, people can actually be charged up to $150,000 per infringement. In reality, it is in the $10k to $20k per infringement range, but I don’t think this happens much anymore. There were a bunch of lawsuits 10-15 years ago.

Regular people are getting fined like $20K per infringement for downloading copyrighted material. 81.7 TB of data is a heck of a lot of numbers of infringements, especially where it’s clear it’s being used for profit

Counterpoint, what’s wrong with a person being mediocre? What makes someone “great” or “positive”. I think you’re right about it’s weird wanting someone that they’re not attracted to just because they’re white and male, specifically I think you’re right it’s a shitty status thing due to society, but people should be allowed to be mediocre in society

It’s like giving up the ability to have your own experience, and instead getting someone else (in this case an AI) to tell you what it is you did. It is unsettling.

I see MLK Jr-ism, but I’m surprised they didn’t include RFK Jr-ism

I’ve always assumed that any personality differences with astrological signs have to do with the seasonal differences of in utero and baby-age existence. Like, someone who’s a baby during summer might be temperamentally different from someone as a baby bundled up during winter. Because of temperatures, light levels, and behavior of the parents and people around.

Now, this, of course, falls apart once one considers different climates and latitudes.

I had to upgrade to Windows 11, but it wouldn’t run, so I found like a crack or something that bypasses the thing that prevents it from running on older CPUs. It seems to work well so far!

You forgot hydrogen fuel, fusion energy research, and blockchain

Arent the Mexican cartels armed and funded by the US? Would this be more like an internal conflict?
