Do you understand how evil and violating it is to take away a person’s wheelchair? Their means of getting around in the world? Their sense of independence? It’s absolutely reprehensible behavior. I can’t even think of a good analogy to convey to you how disgusting his actions were. I’ve known a lot of dumb kids and I’ve even been one myself and I’ve never ever seen any of them steal someone’s means of mobility and damage it.

I think it’s a bit more complicated than just the copyright on the written work (particularly if the work is “public domain” because of a Creative Commons license) so it’s best to consult a lawyer. I believe Project Gutenberg does have a page of policies outlining how material can be used and under what conditions attribution is required. Adaptation for personal use is generally far less onerous than adaptation for personal use. But most of your questions can’t be answered without knowing more details about the specific work and what your plans are for the work which is why you’d need to hire yourself a lawyer who can give you a more definitive answer than anyone on the internet can provide.

You do know the people he’s surrounded by in that photo are his family, right? Are you saying his expression indicates “low key disdain” for them?

The poorly fitting suit is kind of on-brand for him though. He’s just not a suit guy. It doesn’t surprise me that he couldn’t care less whether or not it’s perfectly tailored. There are other things he cares about more than being a perfectly coifed fashion-forward pretty boy.

Is this Hi-Fi Rush? I haven’t had a chance to play yet but I feel like everyone is raving about that game!

I’ll do a reading from the pic. For free!

Where do you live, doggo?

I’m getting something! It’s a message! From… it’s from the dog!

The dog says: >!Quit your bullshit.!<

I mean who cares about the practical problems? It’s coercive. It’s unconscionable. It’s fucking disgusting. I don’t care if it was easy-peasy and zero risk it’s still completely unethical and entirely inappropriate.

Forget about jewelry. Have you ever tried to buy a Gilette Venus razor refills at CVS? It takes like ten minutes and two employees just to unlock the case! I feel like guns should be at least as secure as the razor refills, no?

That is some pretty ineffective altruism.

I think it’s more likely that it goes both ways. Pets require you to do things that are good for you that you otherwise might not do. If you’re depressed or achy or feeling down and tempted to stay in bed all day that’s just not going to happen when you have a hungry demanding cat or a dog who needs to go out. Walks, even short walks, are good for you. I’ve taken my dog on so many walks I did not at all want to go on because it was chilly or rainy or dark or I was tired or whatever. Sometimes I wish I had started tracking how many steps I’ve taken with my dog to see how many miles of walking I do with him that I otherwise wouldn’t have done. I bet it would be a lot more than I realize. Maybe I’ll track that in 2023 just for fun!

Why do you think that is?

Intent. SBF will try to plead ignorance. Caroline Ellison can testify that he knew what he was doing was fraud and he did it anyway.

I wholeheartedly agree!

Then don’t.

He 100% already owns the team through some other entity. There’s no chance he owns it directly and outright. I know Snyder is not the brightest crayon in the box but he’s definitely not that stupid.

Yes, of all the awesome names they could’ve picked for the DC area “commanders” is just so lame. Every time I hear it I think of a football team that’s playing through the chafe because the other team stole their undies from the locker room.

Wow! That looks so cool! And you lined the shot up PERFECTLY! Thanks for sharing 😊

Oh man I just looked and it seems that hysterical “Dr. Oz: Hollywood Liberal” ad from the primaries where they tried to parody liberals has been scrubbed from YouTube. What a bummer! That one was my favorite. They did all of their best hits: airhead blond, clueless stoner bro, lady with hair dyed a bright and unnatural color. It was so unintentionally funny.

Whoa! From this photo you’d never know this was smack in the middle of a major city!

I’ve run across this bridge >!in Red Dead Redemption 2!<!
