You dont need to know yourself, just follow the instructions the doctor gives you before the procedure. Usually fasting, maybe a rinse.
- Comment on BBC ignores funeral of 31 Yemeni journalists murdered by Israel 2 weeks ago:
There’s a difference between “Two missiles hit an area, destroying several buildings including two newspapers and killing over 30” and “Israel targets Yemeni press in strikes destroying two newspaper offices, killing over 30 journalists.” One looks like a little whoopsie-daisy mistake, where they are only announcing in a small article the tragedy that has happened due to equally tragic circumstances. It is doing its bare minimum to acknowledge an event while minimizing all details. The other lays the obvious responsibility and intent at the doorstep of the people who did it.
It’s “driver struck during altercation with police” and “fleeing unarmed teen shot in back multiple times by officer during traffic stop.” They convey some of the same basic information, but with one of them sterilizing its language so much that it’s technically correct while avoiding the details that make the people in power look bad.

Sounds like a mormon i (briefly) dated in high school. Couldn’t take a sip of my Arizona bc caffeine, had no problem showing up for a band competition rolling off her ass after a rave the night before. The logic leaps sound exhausting to keep going

Doing something to make money and making enough from doing it to keep doing it full-time are two very different things, and I would argue the latter would be more difficult, not less under your proposed system. Yes, corporations do that already because they can throw enough money at the case to wear down the plaintiff into settling. But how much more do you think they would steal if they didn’t even have to do that?
Why do most people lock their doors at night? Do they really think that a piece of metal stuck in a slab of wood would stop any thief who really wants to get in? No, of course not. But the amount of effort and risk required is enough of a deterrent that most thieves won’t bother.
Copyright law is similar in my eyes. Will it stop a huge corporation that is willing to dump huge sums of money into any one case? Not really. But the effort and money involved is enough to deter them in most cases. Remove that they have no incentive not to steal work. Find a catchy song? Get one of the thousands of artists on contract to re-produce it to a T, send it to your millions of online viewers, and rack up 100k views in 12 hours. Congrats, you beat the artist to their 15 minutes of fame and any chance they could get at exposure, their potential earnings are yours now and it hasn’t even been a day. Any future web searches for the song will show you as well, so the original artist will likely be very quickly lost to time, and everyone remembers that one track the Capitol Records conglomerate put out that one time. That’s the kind of stuff I envision happening with literally no safeguards.

Not the person you responded to, but how would a recording artist earn a living in that model? If their work can get scooped up by a mega corporation and sold for pennies on the dollar due to the massive existing resources, reach, and infrastructure available to the corporation, what protections would there be against that happening?

- Comment on Nextdoor Nightmare 2 months ago:
I use it as new Craigslist for scooping up second hand stuff, but that’s about it. I check the market maybe once a week at most.
I also live in a crime-ridden desert city, so occasionally people post about people scoping out or burglarizing their houses or cars, comes in occasionally useful if there’s repeat offenders to look out for.
But otherwise it’s the NIMBY cesspit others have described. Occasionally I’ll see a dog get back home because of it, but damn. Every time I see the comments of regular users, all I see is the desperation of Facebook moms mixed with the self-importance of LinkedIn posters

Ah that makes sense. I thought maybe the jalapeños were inside or something, but honestly your explanation is more likely and I’m just kind of a dumbass

I’m not personally familiar with these jokes, but the signage does appear to be Polish or some similar language. This may not have been the intent?

- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 4 months ago:
I think the idea is one of them is convincing someone to not do something they still have the power to do, while the other would be taking that power away completely. There may be a truly foolproof way to disarm a weapon, but there will never be a foolproof way to convince someone of anything due to the unpredictability of people.
