  • No, you can still sell things you made based on things in the public domain. Anyone can make things in the public domain and sell them. They just can't be stopped from selling or giving away for free because there are no exclusive rights to distribution.

  • The best part about being able to work from home is you aren't limited to jobs in your local area.

  • He hasn't actually acted yet, so it is still just his words.

  • It would only take a handful of Republicans to vote with the Dems for Jeffries and then for actual compromise legislation to get the House working again.

    But they won't, because the GOP is a cult.

  • This isn't arms proliferation, this is providing support for a country defending itself from invasion.

  • The pickles themselves shouldn't be a net negative for hydration, but drinking the juice would be.

  • If anyone hasn't had a butt cam (colonoscopy) before, this basically describes the process for flushing out before the procedure, except the stuff they give you doesn't taste as good as pickles.

  • Folk with morbid obesity have safely water fasted up to a year.

    With medical supervision, supplements for vitamins & nutrients, and other considerations for their particular condition. Certainly not something a person should do on their own.

  • You are wrong. That poster is either the worst person ever or a terrible attempt at trolling by actually being the worse person ever.

    The only reason I haven't blocked them is that the responses calling them out remind me that most people aren't complete assholes.

  • Without being signed in to tiktok any link will poad and start playing the video without sound and with a huge popover prompt to sign in. I have to dismiss the sign in, unmute the sound, and then restart it. Same with facebook links.

    I don't care if a meme started on tiktok or facebook, but being linked to them is a dog shit experience.

  • he fire department doesn’t save people when there isn’t an emergency

    Oh, your point is that you are an idiot who doesn't understand context.

  • Who is making sure the 'right people' use parks and public schools?

    Fire departments serve everyone when there is an emergency.

  • We already know mpv causes upper respiratory infection, cover your mouth already.

  • UBI is perfectly fair. The benefits to the lowest incomes is massively higher than the benefit to the wealthy while being a simple system that does not require any complex overhead to make sure the 'right' people are receiving it. The same as with public parks, roads, schools, fire departments, and any other public thing available to everyone that is paid through taxes.

  • UBI achieves that because the person who does those things still gets an income without needing a job.

  • Another is any game that adjusts comeback mechanics during the course of a match, because I’ve never understood punishing someone for playing well

    The idea behind it is aiming for a close ending for a variety of skill sets by trying to balance things as the last minute, but it certainly feels like punishing anyone who does well early on.

    Some implementations are kinda fun when they seem like actual balancing, but only if they are early enough for the winning team/person to be able to address and not some unstoppable surprise on the last lap/few seconds of a match like a blue shell in Mario Kart.

  • Sounds like Hollywood accounting where the movies with the largest gaps between production costs and ticket sales magically lose money.

  • He wouldn't be casually standing on the board at 70 mph either, so any wind strong enough to push him off the back would make it really hard to stand and dive in the first place.

  • Not all enforcement requires an exchange of fire.

    Being large and imposing with the implication that ramming is on the table is one option. Being a platform for people to do things is another. In northern seas, being able to reach something in icy waters could also be part of enforcement actions.
