If you make something and give it away for free, that's fine.

If you make something and I sell it to the masses for a profit without your permission that's theft.

The problem I see that doesn't get mentioned enough is he has literally built a cult around himself. This makes it extra difficult to make him face consequences because he can easily turn himself into a martyr in his cult's eyes, which exacerbates the problem even more.

I think the cases brought against him already took so long because they knew they had to be air tight. Any legal wiggle room gives him more ammo to say "See, witch-hunt!"

IMO, the best thing that could happen for America is for him to die of natural consequences. It would deflate his cult as they tried to reconcile him being the god-delivered savior of the US and him just dying suddenly of natural causes. There would likely be conspiracies, as there always are, but it may be enough to snap some of the less radicalized out of this fucking trance he has them in.

We've also seen that his lackeys cannot play his game as well as he can. The hammer would fall easily on those left in his wake.

If someone walks into your house and shoots your family, would you want to know why? Would it be important to you to understand their motives?

This is not true for everyone. We all have different reasons for similar feelings like this. I sleep great but still feel like this. Oversleeping is also a sign of depression.

For me, getting my diet under control and truly understanding what my body needs has helped tremendously (more fiber/protein, less carbs/sugars). Introducing daily probiotics has helped too. It really is amazing how our diets affect our moods.

For some, regular exercise may help. For others, sun lamps help with seasonal depression. Sometimes you need medication. Sometimes weed helps.

Always talk to a professional. Try different things until you figure out what works and what doesn't.

Good point, I had forgotten about that nugget in the sea of shit nuggets around that man.

Punchline should be in the description

I feel like Twitter (I will always deadname it) was the beginning of the end for him. Unfortunately, things like this can take years or decades to resolve, but whereas 5 years ago he had the midas touch and could do no wrong now there seems to be nothing but a stream of negative news about him.

Time will tell

Punchline goes in the comments

Yeah, all manufacturer OSes are shit. Don't connect the TV to the Internet and use your own preferred streaming device.

Memes like Kilroy was here and that fancy S everyone drew in grade school were around before the internet.

Meme theory is actually really interesting. The Internet just supercharged how fast new memes can propagate.

Of course they then argue "You're not doing enough, so you shouldn't do anything"

Dig deep enough and I'm sure you'll find wall street at the bottom of this hole. They are the source of all enshitification.

We really don't tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

My key take away from the article beyond the headline:

"Two sources said that the Department of Energy assessed in the intelligence report that it had “low confidence” the Covid-19 virus accidentally escaped from a labe in Wuhan.

Intelligence agencies can make assessments with either low, medium or high confidence. A low confidence assessment generally means that the information obtained is not reliable enough or is too fragmented to make a more definitive analytic judgment or that there is not enough information available to draw a more robust conclusion."

Somewhere in China, circa 2019 (Just kidding, I don't buy into that conspiracy)

Edit: Ah shit, here we go again...

I'm with you about Adam Savage. His philosophies about many aspects of life just resonate a lot with me and he is always so passionate about the things he's discussing or working on.

His view on organization being a continuous process finally clicked with me and got me to start putting my workshop in order.

I wonder if that will hold up in court for existing customers affected prior to the updated TOS.

Not a Lemmy issue. Click bait unfortunately works to drive views through all social media platforms.

The thing I love is being able to click into the comments first to see the auto-generated summary. Prevents the site from getting my traffic.

Fuck yeah, I'd be down for a QuietAfternoon2000. Hell, do they make one for adults? I'm ready for a good nap.

Glad I'm not the only one. Dude has a way with words!
