Creative commons is a licensing system that lets the author give others certain rights to works they wouldn't normally have, such as sharing or using in other works, or even cc zero which is essentially granting a work to the public domain by relinquishing all rights.
That's a good point. They only things they tolerate are transgressive to the culture they want to destroy. The moment it's their taboos being broken suddenly it's Haram and death to the infidels.
It's ironic that the greatest purveyors of hatred in the world pretend that they're against hate. They don't realize that what they're really saying is you are totally free to be anything you want as long as it is what they tell you to be.
Businesses with competent management should have mitigation plans in place. Unfortunately, government isn't competent. They aren't rewarded for that, they're rewarded with bigger budgets for being incompetent.
Unironically, you see families that absolutely should not have kids, and they seem to be fine. Meanwhile, families that have every reason in the world to have kids live in terror of having their kids snatched up. Completely arbitrary.
That's ok, because I know it takes 14 minutes for CFS to get to the house.
And in 13.5 minutes, somebody gonna get hurt real bad.

Uploading my reading list to a bookwyrm instance, and it's lowkey hilarious. I've got a reading list from kindle of 180 books, and every time it's like "I've never heard of that book, did you mean Das Kapital or Harry Potter?"
The deep state doesn't want you to know this, but the spies in central park are free. I have 420 spies living in my basement.
In my experience, when men in a man-centric industry find a competent woman, that's usually enough to earn respect and they find success. If they're also socially savvy enough to coexist with men without making things weird, that's a huge bonus.
The total yield of all nuclear weapons in the world's arsenals is estimated to be in the range of 4,000 to 4,500 megatons of TNT equivalent.
The asteroid that is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, is estimated to have had a yield of around 100 teratons of TNT, 22,000 times more.
We're actually tiny in the face of creation. Even our greatest works are trivial.

In space, hydrocarbons are relatively plentiful. For example, Saturn's moon Titan has hydrocarbon lakes.
So hypothetically, let's say we could use those hydrocarbons and convert them into glucose.
At that point, you could substantially sustain yourself on space rocks that have never before been a part of a living creature.
I dunno why but I thought that was an interesting thought.

tbf, when someone lies about so much for so long people just start to assume everything they say is a lie even when it's true.
Freedom to say something everyone else agrees with isn't that valuable (it was never going to be censored anyway), freedom to say something that everyone disagrees with is incredibly valuable.
Forget left and right for a minute, in a lot of ways our culture has become incredibly conservative. Gen z is following a playbook followed by the millennials which was a playbook largely followed by Gen x which was a playbook written by the baby boomers. Some of the top properties in Media were created generations ago, depending on just how young you are, it might have been made by your great-great-grandfathers generation.
So a lot of the things that we end up seeing on the unrestricted internet are people trying to figure out a new way of being that isn't the ideology of our grandparents. For some people that means trying to return to the 1920s. For some people it means trying to return to the 1820s. For other people it means a completely and different path forward. Many of these things are considered taboo and we can't even talk about them on the mainstream internet because the mainstream Internet is conservative and will only allow the current orthodoxy to be discussed.
From that point of view, something like the new Scooby-Doo Velma remake is the perfect example. You take a property from 50 years ago, something where everyone who originally worked on it is probably dead of old age, and implement into it every single piece of the current cultural orthodoxy.
This isn't unprecedented. In the middle ages, the epic poem Beowulf survived but was partially rewritten to include references to Christianity, because that was the only way such an ancient work would be allowed to continue being disseminated.

When the regimes official stance is that they're not going to help, why pull out all the stops for the regime?
