No. There will always be jobs. Stupid jobs that pay nothing, but there will always be jobs. Why? Because having people you control is a kink for the oligarchs.

Thatâ(TM)s it. Itâ(TM)s about slavery. Never expect UBI, as long as billionaires exist. They want to keep you poor, weak, and most importantly *dependent*.

Bruh. Thatâ(TM)s literally how passports work. They work with visas, and visa free travel agreements.

Did you think TFA was going to be about how many grams the cardstock the cover is made out of can support? Seriously, what do you think âoea powerful passportâ means? Itâ(TM)s where you can travel without visas.

I donâ(TM)t know if the Internet feels like Philadelphia, but I will say it feels like Itâ(TM)s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Even this sounds like Charlie asking if Pittsburgh is part of Philadelphia.

I have been saying for decades now that the F-1 (student) visa should be able to convert to a resident visa upon graduation.

The whole idea of it not being a resident visa was a cold war notion that after graduating, the international student would return to their country and spread the gospel of how wonderful the United States was, and how their local country needed to oppose the Soviets. I doubt that ever really happened.

Today, weâ(TM)re just training people and then at best turning them into indentured servants for a few oligarchs, or even worse (and now the policy of the Trump administration), throwing them out so theyâ(TM)ll build up some other competing country, while weakening our own.

So heâ(TM)s going to sue because he doesnâ(TM)t like the *editorial* recommendations?

Iâ(TM)m glad the self proclaimed defender of free speech is defending free speech.

The whole âoeitâ(TM)s super dangerousâ thing served two purposes. First, it hyped the product. It must be earth shattering if itâ(TM)s super dangerous. Second, it was a naked play for government regulation to protect them from competition.

The irony of course is that they played up Skynet, the real societal danger was never going be stopped through regulation. The danger I speak of is that of generated content being taken as truth, whether itâ(TM)s propaganda or just lazy danger like putting glue on pizzas or misidentifying mushrooms.

But of course theyâ(TM)re not concerned with that. That makes money, and anyway, it will get better⦠eventually.

Itâ(TM)s âoequid pro quoâ not âoequid pre quoâ. ;)
If you get the money after the act, then itâ(TM)s not a bribe, but merely a thank you gift!

So does this mean that pressing play on my keyboard will now launch Spotify instead of Apple Music, or what?

Fair use is for everyone.

This really isnâ(TM)t that hard. Fair use is not â" nor was it ever intended to be â" a backdoor âoepay what you can affordâ.

Undoubtedly there are many in the antigenai and antioligarch crowd are going to be cheering this ruling, but I canâ(TM)t help but think this is going to absolutely gut fair use and just make rent seeking by megacorps become even more pervasive.

Information wants to be free, and we scraping is not a crime.

Years ago, my parents that live in rural Illinois had Verizon landline service. Verizon wanted to get out of the rural landline business and sold it to Frontier. Frontier at the time boasted about their rural service. Now Verizon has bought Frontier.

This doesnâ(TM)t exactly bode well for rural landlines.

And when these inputs are ignored?

You can't make blanket statements about how some group "should" behave, when you don't know what's going on.

To follow up on your concerns about " damaging your employer's reputation" and "disrupting your colleagues". If this is disrupting them, then they are bad at their jobs and should be fired. If someone's reputation is being damaged by simpily having their actions known, then that person shouldn't be doing things that damage their reputation. The alternative is "Snitches get stitches."

You aren't being paid to post opinions on social media either, so shut your mouth and know your role. Be drone.

That's how it works right?

Get punched fascist.

Very clever finding notorious hack Bill Saffire commenting on his own column, and painting it as some sort of third party endorsement of his original column that history has shown is a pack of fail. Lest we forget The Starr Report. Lest we forget the final Travelgate report. Lest we forget the transparently political climate.

You need to troll much harder kid. I remember this shit.
