Comment Re: Kinda like "security theater" (Score 1) 395

Maybe you have a link to clarify the law, but from what I can readily find, your implication that someone can get paid as a professional model, sign an image release, and then simply say "Nope, I withdraw consent, free money for me!" does not appear to be strictly true, when the use of their image is an integral part of the contract. You seem to be confusing consent to use an image, and use of someones image as a contractual obligation. As I read the law, consent (as in what can be revoked later) is not necessary if they've signed an explicit contract being paid for the use of their image in specific ways.
Frankly I don't see how it can be otherwise... companies pay you a fortune and you can revoke the contract unilaterally before they can even use the image? A single actor in a movie withdraws consent, distribution stops? Come on. That's not how it works. Imagine if the latest Hollywood blockbuster had some minor EU resident actor with a few lines blocking distribution of the movie? If it could happen, it would.

Comment Re:Risks and rewards of pregnancy (Score 1) 29

And if, as the study shows- the stress of the 9 months of pregnancy is equivalent to two years of life, and the woman only gets back a large portion of that investment with engaging in breastfeeding- then does a late-term abortion also abort the positive portions of birth and breastfeeding?

Comment You know where those features make sense? (Score 1) 100

In a more feature-oriented app like WORDPAD. Why the fuck are they removing Wordpad if they're just going to turn Notepad into a shittier version of it? Damn Windows 11 has been absolutely insultingly atrocious on so many fronts. Even ME was better than that pile of hot garbage. I'd take the bluescreens over the appalling UI decisions, spam, this, and 1000 other reasons I'd never touch 11 unless 12 continues the downward trend and 11 LTSC becomes the least painful option after 2032 when Win10 LTSC support ends.

Comment Re:Plastic recycling has always been a scam (Score 1) 101

Only if you're recycling the plastic into more plastic. And that's worthless.

What you should be doing is recycling it back into fuel for electricity production- but nobody wants that even with all the scrubbers- they made it illegal to EVER open a 2nd garbage burning electric plant in Oregon.

It was absolutely not the correct move. The dose makes the poison. Just because there's a human form at x milligrams doesn't mean a large animal form or fish form where you take x grams is safe, or getting the human form but taking 10x or more the normal dose. Those things never stopped you delusional fuckwit. People were shitting out their intestinal linings. It's not death but it's batshit crazy to call that healthy and think there's no serious side effects.
