Where do you live that they ban gas-flame cooking?

Wouldn't a standard pressure cooker set to sea level pressure solve this problem?

How can you make a DMCA claim, while withholding both the name of the copyright holder and the particular copyrights involved?

If there is zero burden of proof, then what is to stop someone from sending a DMCA takedown notice for EVERYTHING on youtube?

Since she herself created the images in question, and shared them with at least one other person, does this not count as the creation of an artwork for private distribution?

By this standard Pinkmeth (and by extension Tor) are guilty of, at most, copyright infringement.

I went college for a technical degree, not a liberal arts degree, so I haven't had any courses on the subject at all.

I wasn't sure exactly which "94 million" you were referring to, and assumed you just meant all the people killed by the USSR in general.

Stalin might have have killed more people, but it was Lenin that started it all. That's why I called it Leninism.

The world wasn't (and still isn't) ready for communism. Any attempt to establish communism before the means of production can support it is doomed to spectacular failure.

All of the people displaced by automation now have jobs in the "service" industry, but that can't continue indefinitely, especially as automation begins to creep into that field as well,

You can't find it anywhere (other than in a book), because it requires mechanization beyond what is currently possible.

Then there is a rising need for communism.

True, there is no such thing as real communism yet.

That's a pretty bold statement, especially considering that the industrial revolution (the thing that originally inspired the invention of communism) hasn't actually ended yet.

It's impossible to increase efficiency indefinitely without causing rampant unemployment at some point. Communism is a solution for a problem that hasn't quite happened yet (but it's silly to think it won't happen eventually).

Basic income means that everyone lives at the same economic level, retirement accounts allow you to live at a higher economic level than everyone else, depending on how much you save.

Some people just aren't happy unless they are better-off than everyone else, no matter how comfortable the "average" might be.

"Fatally bad" not "fairly bad"

It works quite well, only because you happen to be on the winning end.

Social Darwinism is unnecessary in an age where we can literally afford to burn corn to power our cars.

Why?

Since when is work the only way to distinguish yourself from other?

Be a better painter, be a better musician, be a better flower arranger. Distinguish yourself by being better what YOU want to do, not what someone else wants you to do. There is more to life than being a "hard worker"
