Ya, unfortunately Iran, Russia, China, these countries all suck as well. But Israel/US are a much more immediate threat. Unless you’re Ukraine, as russia is obviously the more immediate threat, and you dont want to help Iran for that reason, since they are team russia, but I agree Trump should not be enabled. Let him waste his resources and Iran’s and russia in a fight together, and we will pay the cost of inflation for it. It’s not a bad deal.
No, because if the information is public domain, then anyone can freely copy and redistribute it. Nobody could incent anything, because as soon as you do, its public, and anyone can copy it. Nobody could create unique software, because anyone could copy it.
If an artist or creator has a unique original idea, then in your system, it is automatically public, and free for anyone to copy and redistribute.
Nobody will give a shit who the original is, if they can get the exact same thing for cheap or for free.
In the 90s, everyone knew who the original artists for music was. They still all downloaded it for free, because they could, and it was not even legal.
So, i’m afraid you’re living in a fantasy world with this idea.
Intellectual property is important. But, I think it is too highly enforced in some cases and not enough in others. For example, I believe it should be the law that anyone could make an operating system fully compatible with windows, and that windows should be force to provide all information to allow that, as otherwise they have an unjust monopoly.
There are other cases like that, like, I believe every nation should make it mandatory that all social media algorithms are publicly declared, able to be copied, and able to be tested to make sure the declared algorithm is correct. This way they cant be biased to brainwash people.
But your idea goes too far, as it completely.destroys anybody’s ability to make profit off ideas.
The result will be that people keep ideas to themselves.
I will be extremely against any nation helping trump. I dont care how expensive things get.
Then artists could not create anything as a job.
Technically the straight is vital for all countries. So Trump went and fucked the world with his war mongering. And countries may be wishing to workout a deal that if they help him, they get something if he is successful, but imo, that would be a mistake, since his agreements aren’t worth shit.
So, to me, the only solution is to wait and see and leave trump on his own.
He will definitely use that later on and accuse of not helping etc… but thats fine. If countries do help, it wont score them with brownie points, because trump always wants more, so if he can back out of a deal, and you dont have much leverage to force him not to, he will just TACO right out of it.
I’d sooner help Iran secure the straight, and china, and bring the entire american economy to its knees, before I helped it win its war.
And if I ever DID consider sending ships, I’d ask for 20 billion$ up front, and once the check clears, i will send my ships.
This is the biggest load of horseshit I’ve ever read. You’ve broken down a word to its roots, and then used its etymology to create a new definition of the word, and then claim that’s what the definition must be because of the etymology.
Whats the etymology of vaccine? I mean, there are so many words that have gone on to have a changed meaning from the roots of it. How a word developed and what it used to mean, does not determine the definition today.
There’s nothing theocratic about the theory of relativity. If someone says “oh I have a theory as to what happened” they are more closely saying they have a hypothesis, than they are saying they have God’s truth on the subject.
So, i question your authenticity in this discussion, because i find it hard to believe that you genuinely believe what you’re saying to me. Im skeptical you’re even a real person.
I’ll just leave this here
Go and research it first. Then come back and tell me why it’s different instead of running your confidently incorrect mouth.
I dont give a shit that you’re a minority. It is irrelevant and makes no difference. I dont even know why you’d mention it. Why am I supposed to care what your gender is?
I’m giving you a warning. Im not interested in arguments. If you dont change your tone with me on your next message, you will not hear from me again, because i will have just blocked you.
I don’t tolerate trolls, no matter what their gender is.
Why does “theory” carry starker claim absolute truth to you?
Theory, theoretical, these are not claims to absolute truth. Rules maybe, but then id say you’re more correct that they’d be rules of a model.
Relativity is a theory. Its in the name. You might not like it, but it is definitely a theory, and referred to as such by all of science. Maybe you call it model of special relativity, but you’d be the exception. However it would not be incorrect to refer to it as a model, either.
You definitely dont know anything about the trucker convoy, if you think anything similar has happened in the US during the Trump administration. I dont give a shit what your gender is.
You should educate yourself more about the subject. Because you obviously have no fucking clue what the trucker convoy protest was.
Your little walking parades are not protests. The trucker convoy was a real protest.
I’ve been following American politics very closely. I am very educated on it. You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.
Sometimes science has prevailing theories. They call them theories, because they aren’t known woth certainty. But they still teach them in school, as its our best guess.
You dont have a good understanding of what science is. No scientist claims to know what charge is, what causes it, nor what dark matter is or dark energy.
Scientists say what they can say with reasonable certainty. If they state something, you can research why they state it, and find sound reasoning and experiment that supports it.
If you dont, you can disprove it, and then now you’re a scientist.
Just because you dont know a thing, doesn’t mean others cant know.
All the ones that know what’s happening are aware they are losing their freedom.
Im not bothered by maga or ignorant people not doing anything.
Its all the people that know what is happening. That think posting “release the Epstein files” will help. It would if they did it on congress’ front lawn, but not in their echo chambers.
Show me. Why isn’t lemmy full of protests?
They can stop many news outlets, but not all of them. Not all social media platforms.
The protests are small and insignificant.
They should be massive. Like the trucker convoy in Canada was.
There are still free social media platforms, and they aren’t showing protests.
Wed see them on lemme, if it was 24/7 protests, so, you are not correct.
It is corrupt, the government is corrupt, and the people aren’t willing to do anything about it. Not mass protests, not dropping the social media they control, or boycotting the companies that give them power.
So, it won’t change.
The administration is on a war rampage also, which means the only way the people will be free, since they do nothing, is if war comes to America, and the regime is taken out by force.
This of course would be ww3, and the casualties of such a war would be far greater than ww2. Many more civilian casualties.
And of course poverty in america. Their government will gove themselves money for luxuries first, their armies second, and their people can have whatever crumbs are left over.
Technically we are. We won’t be out in our lifetimes, to my knowledge, but we aren’t making more helium. Once its gone, its gone. So, it is running out, but on what time scale?
When will the human race start slowing down? Its eventually just going to get crazy expensive and only used when vital. And we’re filling party balloons with it.

I am shocked that america isn’t 24/7 protests.
Yes it does, if you want to be good at it.
If its a job, you dont need another job, whoch means all your time and effort can be used for being a great artist.
