The likelihood of being sued is the issue. The DMCA has tons of case law behind it making it a powerful tool for the media companies. Not so much for NCII. Also, individuals usually don’t have legal teams.

So as with much fuckery in the modern world, we can use the rules as well as they can. If someone’s image is shared as NCII, they only need flag it as a DMCA violation. Problem being, who is going to know that trick?

Not familiar at all, that’s why I asked! Thanks, I’ll have to read some.

What’s Marxism have to do with it? Sounds exactly like the scientific method to me. Applying it to politics is an unnecessary step in this discussion.

I ran over a Rottweiler, who later got his revenge by destroying my alternator.

I was throwing newspapers at 6AM, going 20mph, if that, and dodged a 2x4 in the road. Felt a thump, thought, “Crap! Was there another one?”

Got out and didn’t see anything in the road, looked under the car and there’s the dog. Oh shit. Jacked my car up to get him out, expected blood and biting. No blood and he was completely chill.

Got him in my backseat and palpitated him all over. Looked like a broken or cracked rib or 2 and a mangled pinkie. Hauled him home and called around. Some hippies in a rescue van pulled up and took him for treatment.

Went back to the hood and knocked doors until I found the owners. Went back and saw him again!

The wreck continues… Month later my alternator dies. Mechanic replaced it and showed me the air intake. Jammed with a fine layer of fur.

Just for you I dug out my book and found the URL!

(Cert’s expired, but it’s legit.)

Blackened shrimp or chicken burritos. Yes, shrimp. It’s $16 for 2lbs. at Aldi, and it’s quality meat. My wife and I get 4-8 meals for that, the rest amounts to about $2, if that.

• Sear the tortillas (corn or flour, you do you) in butter or margarine for a few, throw it on the plate.

• Fry up a few shrimp in a cast iron pan, drench in black spice to taste. (Black spice: Cayenne, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, cumin, powdered garlic, onion powder, mix to taste and add whatever else you like. White pepper is the shit if you can afford it! Use the cheapest bulk crap you can buy at the ghetto grocery, nothing fancy or it will be too spicy, too many strong favors.)

• Dice onions and chop some tomatoes, cheap lettuce if you like.

• Throw your choice of shredded cheese on top of the cooked meat, pile on the rest of the ingredients.

• Bring your own salsa, but I’d recommend something with a bit of acid like a tomato based sauce. Want it hotter? Much on some dehydrated chile árbol peppers (between bites!) from the Mexican store. Stupid cheap for a year’s worth of heat.

Gendered bathrooms are about repression.

Oh Jesus Christ fuck me. “Help! Help! I’m being oppressed!”

We’re in the middle of making a sensible culture shift. That’s all. I’m 53 and non-gendered toilets have been a thing forever, it just makes sense to make them more common. Some people don’t like that and some people have never been on an airplane.

And some people scream “oppression” at the drop of a hat, making their screams seem far less serious. (Same goes for “racism!”.)

Gun control laws don’t stop bad actors from acting badly. And neither will restroom laws.

I’ve watched Alien as much as any movie excepting Aliens, so I kinda lost appreciation. My wife had never seen it so we watched and I payed close attention for the first time in years. Absolute master class in the genre.

The language is brilliant. At first you have to pay very close attention to understand them, but as the movie progresses you quickly get in the groove. And Anya Taylor-Joy, my god.

My wife is from the Philippines. You can be damned sure we have a rice cooker. :)

Jo Koy has a bit where you can always find the dark kitchen in a Filipino house. Aim for the red light on the rice cooker. Also, that video taught me to cook rice. My wife was laughing her ass off because it’s perfectly true.

LOL, we has 2 and have never used them. One is at camp, where we have a gennie, and we sold the other at the flea market.

The only hot drinks we make are coffe and we have 3 machines for that. If we need hot water to cook, we heat it on the stove top. I just can’t see why we would want one. Am I missing out?

Drive through rural Mississippi. The wealth gap is nuts just from what you can see on the highway.

Only place I’ve live where this is taboo is Chicagoland. And that’s to be expected with the muddy snow.

Here in the South we usually don’t have carpets, no reason to take our shoes off.

That’s very surprising. Where have you visited?

These surgeons were moving fast, I can see it.

I was sawing wood one night and barely touched my thumb webbing, split open like a mouth. Bet you could take 3 fingers an single forward and back stroke. You can for sure with modern blades.

(If anyone is considering a new saw, get the kind with this sort of edge: https://www.amazon.com/REXBETI-Folding-Camping-Pruning-Quality/dp/B07BLQBN8X/ Those are modern day light sabers.)

Look again. The lug is the same length as the tines. Where’s it going to go as the plug is inserted?

That’s not capitalism, that’s human nature. If I don’t quickly take it, someone else will. The Tragedy of the Commons happens no matter the economic system.

My ebpubs are 2,700 files at 1.5GB. And that’s with all the extra crap like JPGs and tons of dupes. I could read forever on 1GB.

Boom! That’s the case. But what YouTuber can stand against Nintendo in court?
