At least not until you’ve attempted your own genocide!

Science is indistinguishable from magic, if you don’t care to learn how science works.

Theodore Roosevelt’s “Citizenship in a Republic” speech, delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23, 1910, is popularly known as “The Man in the Arena.” In this speech, Roosevelt emphasizes the importance of individual action and effort over criticism and spectatorship. He argues that:

• It is not the critic who counts, but the person who takes action, faces challenges, and strives to achieve great things.
• The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, not to those who merely observe from the sidelines.
• Those who dare to take risks, make mistakes, and persevere despite setbacks are worthy of respect, even if they fail.
• In contrast, cynics and critics who never attempt to achieve greatness themselves are weak and unworthy of respect.
• True greatness comes from striving valiantly, knowing great enthusiasms and devotions, and spending oneself in a worthy cause.

Roosevelt’s speech encourages individuals to take an active role in shaping their communities and the world, rather than simply criticizing others from a distance. It celebrates the virtues of courage, perseverance, and dedication, and serves as a powerful call to action for those who seek to make a positive impact.

He was messing with the kids when he grabbed the wires, not when he threw the stick.

Oh yeah everyone knows electricity .

TIL an outdated science facility is the target for Conspiracy Theorists! Not shocking I suppose, but maybe they should have chosen a presently active facility?

My shower thought from yesterday: you can take real photos and make people think it’s AI, just use the Clone Tool poorly on the hands.

Fine, then you figure out what the square root of a negative number actually is!

This is a seriously good idea! Employers want employees that are looking to improve themselves.

Either you fucked up and they’ll tell you so you can improve next time, or they’ll just be impressed at your desire to grow.

Get yourself a boss that respects Mental Health days!

What’s stopping you from doing this now? Seems like it would be naturally the place that industry professionals would flock to and would see dramatic success.

What are your thoughts on the headline: People No Longer Think Working Hard Leads To Better Life

Is this just the natural state of things then?

Oof is this complicated. Yes, but no.

If there is no IP then why would you bother creating or inventing?

On the other hand, Disney extended the timeline of copyrights beyond reason.

Edit: I understand not everyone needs monetary rewards to create something, however I think there are a lot of things that without the monetary reward would not exist.

Do you like video games? Everyone here seems to think we can just copy the files without any harm to anyone. But if all games were free, what sort of games would be created? If game companies stood to make no money, why would they bother with such a large production? Why would Nintendo bother being Nintendo?

It’s not that video games wouldn’t exist without the IP, it’s that without the monetary reward there wouldn’t be such a drive over such an extended period of time. But maybe we only need indie games and no one here has ever enjoyed AAA games. That’s fair, if true.
