Soooo… What are they saying? I don’t have xitter…

I’m a solid 8 at the moment.

This post saved my life. 💕💕💕

I agree that most creators don’t become wealthy, and yes, there’s plenty of abuse and inequality in how IP laws are applied. But removing those laws wouldn’t solve that - it would just give even more power to the entities with the most money, reach, and legal muscle.

Without IP protections, smaller inventors and musicians wouldn’t even have the option to negotiate or earn anything off their work. A major label or corporation could just take it, polish it, and release it as their own without any consequences.

So while the system isn’t perfect, saying it “only exists to make the rich richer” misses the point. The alternative isn’t more equity, it’s no recourse at all for the little guy.

To keep it short and simple, it was more organic back then. Today, it’s more of a “designer” experience. You can still have a hell of a lot of fun, but it just feels less natural.

This is a terrible take. Sure. There are issues with the system, but these laws protect smaller musicians and inventors from having their ideas stolen and profited upon by larger players.

Without patent laws, there’s no reason to ever “buyout” a design from an inventor, or for smaller songwriters to ever get paid again. A large company or musician could essentially steal your work and make money off of it, and you would get nothing for all of the time and effort that you put into it.

It’s worth noting that Burning Man from 15 years ago is not the same Burning Man today and it’s tragic.

Learning how to engage and socialize with people of both sexes is a necessary skill. As long as your not being a toxic mess in front of them, you’re fine.

I had no idea. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks!

What do you mean saved it? As in just posted it on YouTube?

Never in a million years did I think I would be wishing that Yemen is successful in its fight against the Israeli Genocidal Government.

They’ll just make even smaller bottles. You’ll be able to buy a single detergent pod for a $1.

It looked like you photoshopped a pizza and whatever surface it was on to your white table. Legit took me 30 seconds to realize that it was toasted parchment paper.

Mate, cats are not a native species. They hunt for sport and wind up absolutely destroying the local ecosystem. Outdoor cats should be killed onsight like literally any other invasive species.

“These are non-native predators that, even using conservative estimates, kill 1.3–4 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals each year in the U.S. alone (Loss et al. 2013, Nature Communications)”

I personally care more about my local ecosystem than some cat that someone is too lazy to play with and keep entertained.

It’s a political statement. Guys are talking this way. Sure it’s a caricature, but that doesn’t make the statement less meaningful. Toxic masculinity is just that…it’s toxic AF, and while I may not think she has the funniest comic ever, it’s a good way to showcase the absurdity of our current times.

I love seeing these comics. You can always count on like 20 white males showing up asking how this is funny, that it’s a strawman, that pizzacake is terrible, blah blah blah.

The simple thing is, they are comics that give a flavor of the times. Males ARE acting this way. Is it a caricature of a scenario, sure, but that’s what a fucking comic is. Does it have to be “funny” in order to be a comic? No, there are political comics everywhere. Why does pizzacake only get this sort of ire? Is it because she’s calling out white males on the absurdity of their actions, and they don’t like it?

My advice? Chill TF out bros. It’s a comic. If you don’t like it, maybe you should talk to your buddies when they start acting like Andrew Taint’s mouthpiece. Toxic masculinity is a real issue. Sorry that it takes a fucking pizzacake comic to discuss it…

You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It’s fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don’t doubt for a second that Elon didn’t try to co-opt it at some point.

They won’t be tubby for long. Food about to get expensive. Timmy about to be on a fucking diet.

It’s cosmetic damage only. Car still works. Tesla owners are, right now, driving around a symbol of modern day fascism. People warned them about it for months that this is happening.

Does it suck for the people who own one and have no other vehicle they can drive instead? Yeah. I feel bad for them. But it’s unfortunately a necessary evil…because it’s working.

It’s collapsing the Tesla stock price. Teslas are becoming difficult and expensive to insure. It’s becoming risky to even own one or drive it around. It’s making Trump and Musk extremely uncomfortable, to the point that Musk made Trump promote his company on the White House lawn. It’s been one of the best American protests that we’ve had in a long time, and it only inconveniences one group of important people - current/potential Tesla car/stock owners.

Musk, and billionaires in general, need to understand that when you try to take away the rights of Americans, we will fuck your business over. We will make sure that you can’t sell your product, and that owning your product is risky, expensive, and not worth the price.

That is more like a crepe. You can not do that to an American pancake, it would just break in half.
