I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back with these obsolete tanks.

Russia wants to wipe Ukraine of the map. Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map. Trump wants to wipe Canada and Greenland from the map. Xi wants to wipe Taiwan off the map.

Maybe we should just hide the maps from these authoritarian assholes? They keep looking at maps and bad things keep happening.

I know my rights, man.

Kanye just isn’t subtle enough with his anti-semitism.

I just checked and Hasan is still on the front page of Twitch. So don’t worry, Amazon is still profiting off of anti-semitism.

Obviously you need to consider how much ravioli you’re making when choosing which ravioli pot to take down from your ravioli pot shelf.

That’s true. But it’s also true that the guy isn’t immortal.

My general rule is that people that are super upset about the monarchy don’t have very many real problems in life.

The great feature of the monarchy is that it’s a lightning rod for idiots. People who are subservient can be subservient to someone non-political that doesn’t have any power. And pretend revolutionaries that don’t have any grasp of any real issues show themselves to be the non-serious people they are.

Still like you more than Putin.

Most of what he’s doing requires congressional approval. But what’s congress going to do about it? Impeach him? LOL.

Or hey, you could take it to the Supreme Court to see if they’ll stop him, LOL.

Withholding aid from Ukraine was the reason for Trump’s first impeachment. This time around the GOP Congress will probably just applaud him.

They could certainly be replaced by the LLMs they’ve dumped billions into. A large chunk of middle management too.

Yeah it’s more about calling Putin/Trump’s bluff than anything else. We all know they don’t give a shit about democracy in Ukraine, Trump is just using the “dictator” rhetoric to appeal to his base. But that argument is gone now, so now Trump has to come up with a new lie to explain why he’s doing whatever Putin is telling him to do.

Ukraine joining NATO could be part of a peace agreement though.

It ain’t the left that’s in power, it’s the right. You’re not on the side of freedom fighters, you’re on the side of oppressors.

It’s not about blocking, it’s about sending a message.

Yeah lettuce seems the biggest challenge to me. All the heads of iceberg lettuce come from the US. What pisses me off is that under the romaine lettuce it says “Product of USA or Mexico”. Which is it? I have no problem buying it if it’s from Mexico (they’re in the same situation as we are) but not getting it if it’s from the US.

I have noticed on some products the grocery story is putting a maple leaf beside the price when it’s made in Canada, but it’s not universal yet.

Add a bell button and a whistle button.

I think instead of promoting a page where people have to choose a server, just send people to lemmy.world directly. We should probably just get people to sign up there at first and have the ability to migrate their accounts to other servers if they want to do that later.

Having to choose from multiple servers is asking people to choose between a bunch of options they know nothing about. Get people straight to looking at content and posting stuff as soon as possible, once they’re more invested, and understand more about the different instances they can change servers if that’s what they want to do.

But yeah writhing the code needed to make account migration seamless might be a lot of work so not sure if that will happen.

Yeah and if Ozzy were using them in a professional context (like for an album cover) then the professional photographer should be compensated.

But if he’s he’s just posting some photos of himself with his friends online, then it’s a big nothing burger and the photographer should be a professional about it and consider it as fair use. Whether it fits the legal definition of fair use will need to be decided in court, but a real professional wouldn’t consider it worth the time and loss of trust with other customers to pursue it.

I think the subject does have some rights though. I’m not a fancy law talking guy, but I’m pretty sure you can sue someone for using your likeness without permission. But it’s a bit dependent on the circumstances, a famous person can’t sue a paparazzi for taking their photo in a public place, but I think they can when there’s an expectation of privacy. You see people’s face blurred on TV shows unless they sign a waiver. If been walking around where they’re shooting a movie they put up signs letting you know that’s happening and warning that you might potentially be in the background of a shot.

It’s just there’s more laws protecting the the people using the camera since big companies will use any loopholes to screw them out of money.

Though in this case I think the photographer is being an asshole. If Ozzy was using the photos for an album cover which he’d make a lot of money from, then the photographer deserves to get paid. But if he’s just posting some old photos of himself with his friends, then the photographer needs to chill.

Into the air. Which results in the air having more water in it, ie. more humidity.
