He looks around, “Uh, no no, I’ve got stuff to do. But everyone else, they are cowards!”

Haha, fair enough, I never had a picky eater yet!

Auto ship from Chewy solved this for me heheh

If you live in a humid area, AC will become more and more valuable. Wet bulb temperature. At some point your sweat will no longer evaporate and you’ll die. Climate change cometh.

Good plastic surgery is largely unnoticed. Bad plastic surgery is almost a style unto itself that is for some reason desired by certain groups.

Because the military would fracture during a civil war.

Probably confirmation bias. Content, happy people are generally not screaming out at the world about their happiness.

Yep. ThermoWorks is the brand I have.

Is that where we are now? We are so beat down that we are asking for permission to be happy about something?

Congrats and good journey!

2024 election was second highest turnout in 20 years wasn’t it?

I think it’s the time dilation and spaghetti. And they can be damn difficult to spot. Or it may just be pure irrationality.

Black holes fill me with a sense of doom.

You can be flippant or you can respond earnestly. You don’t want to discuss then don’t comment in the first place.

You didn’t answer the question. You dumb.

Who is dumber? The one calling people dumb, or the one unable to answer their questions? Don’t use metaphors if you don’t understand them or can’t explain how they are valid.

Is the artist who writes with inspiration from previous works also stealing? Every story draws from other stories. Most art is always a representation of things that explicit consent was not always recorded to create.

This reminds me of Napster days. We can pontificate endlessly over the moral and philosophical arguments. Meanwhile, time is passing and the tools become more commonplace. I just skip to the end and change with the times. The other option is to die with old fashioned beliefs. Neither option is correct, it just is what it is. Which do you prefer?

… He’s not equipped? Your metaphor was nonsensical. Let’s say he did copy his exam answers. Who lost their answers as a result?

Hence copying is not stealing.

Additionally, who was harmed by the copying in your example, and how?

I kinda feel like all I hear is anti AI talk. Meanwhile I’m in the camp of don’t demonize tools, demonize what people do with the tools that’s damaging.

As for art, I don’t know how to ascribe value to art. The Mona Lisa exists. As do copies of it that are worthless. At what point will the original have no value by virtue of the quality of the copies? Will a molecularly identical copy made with a Star Trek replicator make the original worthless? Or will it always be valued as the original?

There’s someone out there for everyone. I wish you luck finding them.
