Or the military command structure fractures and now they have several warring regional or state fractions/civil war, or the military leadership enacts a coup when given illegal orders and either holds executive under military threat or hands control back to the legislature or judicial to hold a special election.

They are unable to see any of these unintended possible consequences of their actions, the same way they are unable to identify irony, or have empathy, or entertain hypotheticals.

Older games = more than 2 years old? Then the same goes for readers, movie and TV watchers, etc media consumption most isn’t from the current or previous years

Are there many country governments that don’t subsidize their transportation industry?

Everyone who isn’t with us is against us, but yeah not a cult

They also use prison slave labor, https://www.boycott-wendys.org/endslavery

Their aggressive stance against fact checking betrays their default position of bad faith & lack of empathy because they have been indoctrinated to the point of absolute unwavering certainly, similar to a cult. They abandon objective reality at all of our peril.

Thanks that’s very insightful and I’ll amend my position to 15 years 5 may be just a little zealous. 100 year US copyrights have been choking innovation due to things like Disney led trade group lobbyists, 15 years would be a huge boost to many creators being able to leverage more IPs and advancements being held in limbo unused or poorly used by corpo entities.

You don’t have to stop selling when it becomes public domain, people sell books, movies, music, etc that are all in the public domain and people choose it over free versions all the time because of convenience, patroning arts, etc.

You don’t have to stop selling when a book becomes public domain, publishers and authors sell public domain/commons books frequently, it’s just you won’t have a monopoly on the contents after the copyright expires.

Copyrights should have never been extended longer than 5 years in the first place, either remove draconian copyright laws or outlaw LLM style models using copyrighted material, corpos can’t have both.

There’s really not much left to go back to. All the mods with integrity left when they effectively banned third party apps, top posts are almost entirely image or video posts recycled with time stamps/dates removed, and corporate owners are choking it by preventing organic changes via subreddits dying and being replaced over time because it doesn’t get them more ad revenue in the short term like boosting controversial and rage bait topics.

Storing text in binary formats like word docs instead of plain text like latex makes git version control unusable.

Some of my favorites

Disney’s animated Robin Hood - some amazing folk songs, o brother where art thou has a lot of great old timey/folksy songs too

The Third Man - the zither to end all zithers

anything by John Williams or Hans Zimmer for that big epic sound with recurring motifs- star wars, Indiana Jones, interstellar, etc

Baby Driver - lots of variety, the chase sequence with Hocus Pocus by Focus is amazing

The Blues Brothers - not just great blues, tons of soul, motown, etc with a lot of energy

The Guest - parody of '80s action/thriller style movies, soundtrack is lots of electronic & synth, feels a little like a darker version of the Drive soundtrack which is also great

A couple directors that have a very specific sound direction/profiles to them too are Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and John Carpenter.

Abstinence makes the clergy grow fondlers

The LDS setup a child SA hotline years ago to keep clergy from getting caught by the law when guilty of SA. Someone calls it and they say it’s covered under attorney-client if it’s a LDS attorney or theological confession protections if it’s LDS clergy or admin even if the law requires them to report SA to local LEO just like teachers or counselors.
