Your thesis missed one important element right here:

As if the ability to restrict the creativity of others is a natural right like the freedom of speech.

Practically or legally speaking there isn’t a restriction of creativity. Its a restriction on the ability to profit from that creativity or negatively affect the profits of the rights holder with your work using their name.

If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there’s no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you’re free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author’s work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it “Fifty shades of grey”.

There is a reason respect for copyrights is at an all time low.

I’ll agree with this though. Large rights holders have been able to get changes to law that exceed the original IP mandates. This means extensions wildly beyond what was reasonable before, or getting things protected by IP law that are questionable at best.

she thinks i’m disgusting or inferior because of my disabilities.

If she said this to me, this bit right here is the “full stop” where I would have cut ties with her and she’d be gone from my life. At best she may be younger, and this may have been said as a tantrum of someone too young. She may grow out of it, but its not my job to “fix” her. There is much better use of my time, effort, and empathy with anyone else but this person. Its also possible this is who she is.

The result is the same: I’d simply never interact or talk to her again, and move on with my life. There are literally billions of other people in the world that aren’t this person. I’d like to get to know those other people instead.

Got it. Shitposting. I’m out. Enjoy your day.

In another post you made here you said you had a silly original post to have interesting in serious conversation in comments. Are you just shitposting?

I want money and want to have a mindset that will allow for a swift and easy accumulation

Almost nothing in life is swift and easy, and certainly not what you’re asking for here. You already know this. Since that’s the case are you okay with the possibility of going through your entire life still clinging to this idea without even getting close to it until you shut your eyes for the last time on your deathbed? I mean, its your life, but that sounds like a pretty sorry existence to me especially when there are alternatives available to you.

such as some kind of abstract ethics or whatever

You don’t need money to accomplish this.

A good part of therapy is having the problems accurately identified with possible realistic goals for how to improve your mental situation.

I need money and fearlessness, now give me that or at least ways to achieve it

Self diagnosis often leads to the wrong conclusions. A perfect example is that there are already many rich, powerful, fearless assholes. Not only is adding you to their ranks unrealistic but it may not lead you to a future where you are content with yourself. Therapy can help you find whats wrong, and help you with the tools to know what to do about it. They aren’t going to “fix” you though. If you’re going into it with that mindset you’re going to come out exactly as you went in. Therapy is work. Be prepared to put in the work. It can be difficult, but its always worth it. The alternative is what you are now or possible even a worse version of yourself if you go down the wrong spiral.

You’re right. I didn’t pick up on that. Thanks for that correction.

How close are you to high voltage transmission lines? This might be good for an commercial sized solar farm.

As in subsistence farming or trying to bring food to market? If the former, it will be a hard path, but possible.

OP is not in the USA If the latter, have you seen what is happening in the current food markets? For produce (quick spoilage) other nations are rejecting our produce either because of tariffs or because of retaliatory tariffs. For commodity grains like corn and soybeans, previous giant consumers like USAID, USDA, and other agencies are being cut or destroyed entirely meaning there will be a glut of production on the market for some time. Couple that with visa restrictions/deportations, the price of labor will increase substantially. Food prices are going to crater for a time because of this, and some farmers will go out of business. Those that survive will increase prices to cover all of the new expenses, but they won’t be earning more profit from their work.

It’s hard for me to believe that I might ever be attracted to someone past retirement age

If you’re looking for a connection beyond just physical, someone drastically younger (yet still an adult) is missing much of the life experience you have. They maybe unrealistically idealistic. They may not have experienced other cultures. They may take religion at face value as the truth. All of these things are usually things that change with age. I think I would run out of patience interacting with someone that wasn’t my peer in life as a partner.

There’s no “right” answer that works for everyone. For me personally, I know I learn by learning the concepts to the point where I can link it to my existing conceptual knowledge. I’m also visual learner, so if I can attach a vision to what I’m learning (preferably in 3D space, where I can spin it around in my head).

So if I was trying to learn the name of all the bones. I’d see if I could borrow or buy an anatomically correct mini skeleton. Something like this 19" model for $26. I’d start with just the bones knew which for me are: Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Radius, Ulna , maybe a couple more. I would touch to the bone on the model and say the name out loud, name the bones it attaches, then point to the bone on my own body and say the name again. Then I’d do the same for a second bone, maybe on the opposite end of the body.

This would give me all kinds of marker memories!

• The proprioception of where my touching finger is relative to my other hand holding the model.
• The name of the bone as I thought about it.
• The name of the bone as I heard myself say it
• The names of the bones it attaches to
• The depth of the bone relative to the model in 3D space
• The positional relationship of other bones near it. Did my finger bump the rib cage near the bone I’m pointing to?
• The relationship on my own body where that bone is
• If it was a movable bone, how the joints moved when I touch the model bone

So when I try to recall the name later, I could easily forget HALF that list, but still be able to recall the name of the bone and where it is on the body. Those along might help me recall another 25% of the list or so. Alternatively, because we’ve attached the concepts, you can also go the other way. You have the name but can’t remember the location. Close your eyes, put your hand out like you’re holding the model. Picture the model in your head as though you’re holding it. Recall the name…where did your remember where your pointing/touching hand went on the model?

All of the above is what I know works for me because of how I learn. If you’ve gone through 12 years of primary school you should have a decent idea of how your particular mind learns new things. Put those lessons to work in ways that work best specifically for you!

It’s not a Musk company. It’s owned by E-Bay.

Even that is old news. Ebay spun off paypal into a separate company in 2015.

“It was announced on September 30, 2014, that eBay would spin off PayPal into a separate publicly traded company, a move demanded in 2013 by activist hedge fund magnate Carl Icahn. The spin-off was completed on July 18, 2015.” source

Can’t tell if Google changed the search results in response to the original complaint result of this:

How do people really put up with rawdogging the internet like in the first picture?

Congrats! Having only been lifting occasionally for fitness in the last year, I learned I’ve been doing squats and deadlifts wrong this entire time by watching a video of powerlifters teach ballet dancers how to lift. No I’m not kidding! This was the best instructional video I’ve seen.

This assumes the language in question follows the same rules as, in this case, English.

When

In many of the common uses of “when” in English. Mandarin (Chinese) as an example doesn’t use one word for that mixed idea of English’s “when”.

One common English usage of “when” would be substitute for literally “which time”. Or even more complicated, the Mandarin language has a word for the concept of a “completed action” where there is no single word in English that translates. While English may conjugate verbs to communicate when an event occurred or will occur, Mandarin skips this.

An English phrase like:

“I ate breakfast this morning” when conceptually translated to Mandarin, then literally translated back to English would be: “I eat breakfast. Finished. Today. In the morning.”

I’ve been told that the Finnish language uses something similar for time words (instead of conjugating verbs), but I don’t know if that’s accurate. If there’s a Finnish speaker reading this, I’d be interested in knowing if this is true.

And the complexity of the idea desired to communicate.

The GOP tried that shit in Ohio and got smacked down hard by voters. It was asinine and brazen. I thought for sure it would galvanize voters against the GOP for such a huge power grab. For a time it did. The next election cycle a ballot measure enshrining reproductive rights including the right to abortion was passed by voters into the State Constitution.

Get a standalone voice dictation device list this $20 one:

• Walk in at 12:30 and set this while recording in front of the co-worker that starts their report at 12:30.
• Walk away and get changed into scrubs.
• Be ready for your shift at 12:35
• Sit down and press “play” and listen to the report

Everyone wins!

There’s a goal to follow and we must all do everything in our power to achieve it, even if we must use others as tools to achieve it. In some instances, empathy does NOT matter

…and…

I’m a damn good leader who keeps everyone in check.

Those are things that someone that doesn’t know good leadership thinks good leadership looks like.

Needs a Danny Glover cameo that can give a visual response when that line is said like “oh really?!”.
