Some of the founding fathers loved slavery, many others were abolitionists, and debates went back and forth between them for almost a decade when they were drafting the constitution. The did actually plan ahead and leave mechanisms built into the constitution to amend the constitution. 27 times in fact.

That's not cope, that's how it's supposed to work but the last 50 years, one political party has hijacked every constitutional mechanism and manipulated it to their bid for power.

The founding fathers never truly accounted for people executing their offices in bad faith, they never really planned for an organized subversion of every branch of the government. A legislative branch in gridlock unable to legislate because Republicans are actively forcing it into gridlock. A judicial branch that has been stacked with justices aligned with conservatives, and when Republicans get into the executive branch abuse every executive power the first chance they get and use the influence over the Judiciary to stack those courts with partisan judges.

like the Native Americans that lived in perpetual homeostasis with the Earth

While I agree the root of most of our modern problems is the infinite growth mindset, this noble savage idea is also an ahistorical reading of the politics of the First Peoples in the Americas, the various tribes also fought conflicts with each other over territory and resource disputes, the engaged in trade with each other, they were people just like us. They formed alliances and rivalries, they cooperated and competed. The First Peoples weren't this mystical connected-to-the-land pure beings untainted by imperial colonialism and infinite growth, they were humans, just as flawed as any of us were with their own understandings of how the world worked.

They're allowed to play monopoly, they just can't use the regular monopoly money.

The global economy is run on the US dollar. It's the measuring stick all other currencies use as a reference point.

people violating your trust?

Implying any of us are equivalent to a $1.5 trillion social media monopoly that has more political and social power than any other organization on the planet. Sure Jan, any one of us is exactly like that.

The severity of punishment does not match the severity of violating the policy. We've already figured this idea out in real life and across numerous genres of fiction that at this point is a common trope. It's literally a sci-fi trope at this point of the paradise planet that everyone loves but the biggest flaw is that any infraction against the law however minor is tje death penalty. The concept of fair punishments is literally baked into the constitution through the bill of rights with the 8th amendment, no cruel and unusual punishments, no excessive bail or excessive fines.

If by right wing you mean not strictly anti-capitalist, sure, at the end of the day shes not going to ovsrthrow capitalism. Still the policies and protections she wants to enact is the furthest left we've gone in multiple lifetimes. The last time we've had any kind of policy proposal like hers was likely FDR.

It's something I've noticed is pretty consistent across a lot of the very evangelical Protestant denominations, they have so many contradictions that just asking some veryxbasic questions just shorts out and they have to rely on thought terminating cliches. At least the less insane Protestant denominations and the Catholic Church try to maintain some level of actively grapple with the conflicting concepts. The catholic church for all its problems does have theologians throughout its history attempting to make more logical sense of the beliefs, even if many of those beliefs are somewhat nonsensical.

And literally multiple times in the gospels Jesus literally says none of us will know the day or the hour of his return. And so many people take the Book of Revalations at face value rather than understanding it as more of an encoded hit piece against most likely Emperor Nero who very much ramped up persecution against the early Christians. Basically saying, this Nero guy is a piece of shit but don't lose faith.

So at the end of the day it's Dominionism amd The Book of Revalations. It's the idea that once the Jews take control of the holy land the apocalyptic prophesies in the Book of Revelations will be set into motion and God will come down from heaven and separate the 144,000 good holy people from the sinners who didn't belive in God and take them into heaven, probably rapture style.

Being Pro Israel and a conservative isn't really about caring about the history of prejudice the Jewish people have faced throughout much of history, it's about using the Jewish people as a pawn in fulfilling a ~2000 year old prophesy.

Honestly, it holds up. Sure there's fewer polygons, but more polygons doesn't mean it looks better.

Read up on how exactly copyright works, as soon as you fix a work in a tangible and communicable form, you have a copyright to it. Taking a nude photo of yourself gives you the exclusove copyright of that photo. Taking a tourist photo does give you copyright to that specific photo, but also doesn't necessarily supercede another existing copyright if that photo is of something else that already had a copyright.

And depending on jurisdictions, your tourist photos might not be fine. For example, in France, they have very strict privacy laws and copyright enforcement, the Eiffel Tower might be public domain, but the light installation is still under copyright. And any modern buildings designed by an architect who died within the last 70 years is still protected by copyright. And on the privacy front, accidentally taking pictures of other people even in tourist areas could actually open you up to a lawsuit, but nobody's actually tried that yet so it's up in the air whether it would hold up.

Not what I'm saying. I'm saying using copyright enforcement systems as the workaround to getting non-consenusal nudes taken down from a website is putting even more burden onto already heavily abused systems. That doesn't have anything to do with the Zucc running ads, it's because copyright enforcement systems don't work very well to begin with and are very easily abused by bad actors. It's not the right tool for the job, and it would be much better to have something specifically dedicated to getting the non-consensual publishing of nude images taken down instead of some bubblegum and twine hack of a solution through copyright enforcement.

Its the Right to Publicity. Walmart can record security footage but they shouldn't be able to use a recording for commercial purposes unless you explicitly give them permission to use it.

The Right to Publicity: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/publicity

I'm not making a comparison between the two, I'm pointing out how resolving posting non-consensual nudes of someone through copyright systems could be abused in other instances. I'm also not saying there shouldn't be a system for having non-consensual nudes taken down, we absolutely should, but it needs to be a system dedicated to taking down non-consensual images, not a patchwork workaround using copyright.

Then the half eclipse would be wrong, 50% eclipse wouldn't be a straight line across the diameter. An eclipse is two circles intersecting, not shadow sweeping across a sphere.

It sucks that this is the mechanism we have to use for this but a person's likeness is their own copyright and posting images of someone without permission could be seen as copyright infringement. Granted this also opens a lot of doors to just completely eliminating almost all images from the internet, like imagine going to a tourist destination and having to get permission from anyone who might be in your overdone posed tourist photo.

Edit: Since some of yall are dense motherfuckers and/or just arguing in bad faith, I'm pointing out how going using copyright as the enforcement mechanism opens the door for these already flawed copyright systems to be heavily abused even further. I'm specifically pointing to Right of Publicity, where your likeness is protected from commercial use unless you give permission to post. It's why any show or movie that's filmed in a public place blurs people out if they haven't gotten signed release forms from anyone who appears on camera.

Oh I get it, you're either just a moron, or your being purposefully dense and wasting all of our time responding to your drivel.

That sounds a lot like the k-8 class I grew up with from 1999 to 2007. We were rowdy, constantly got in trouble, constantly interrupting class. We got in trouble so often that for our 8th grade year we lost both our New York and Washington DC field trips. Ours is the only class that either of those trips were taken away. Substitute teachers always reported back horror stories of what we did while the teacher was away. Desks and seat assignments were constantly moved around to separate the disruptive problem groups to little success.
