Well there’s this case where Monsanto sued a farm for replanting seeds they had a patent on.
And there’s several other cases similar to that where Monsanto has sued farmers. For instance in “David vs Monsanto”, when a farmer found out some canola plants were roundup-resistant and propogated them on his farm. Monsanto sued him for not having them removed, especially since Monsanto had a program where if they were informed, they’d removed them for farmers.
So while it’s not exactly as deceived above, it’s not far off.
Nonono I’m pretty sure that’s the article author, Matthew Rodriguez. /s
but maybe.

4·10 days agoVery cool setup. My one gripe is that the carry handle is not captive in the body, so those two screws on the handle’s rear are the only spots it’s fastened to the body. I personally would not trust that.

13·10 days agoI view that aspect, the motive, as being added specifically to provide a reason for those who haven’t acquired empathy yet, Such as many children. If you simply say ‘don’t bully people for being different’ the immediate rebuttal will be ‘why not?’, and if you don’t give some concrete answer, then the lesson will potentially not stick.
These tenets of kindness and goodwill are most powerful and propagateable when concrete, calculated explanations can be provided on top of reasons which rely on empathy, because empathy works for some, but when empathy is lacking logic must suffice.

66·10 days agoPretty sure the moral was to not ostracize people for being different, because it might turn out you need their difference at some point.
However for the story to play out how it did, Rudolf had to be given less help against bullying than he should have been given.
I mean, a cynical way to put it, but not wrong. Having faith in your friends and in humanity does work this way, though I think the alternative is quite bleak. Having faith in the right things can go a long way, in my view.
What was the bullet drop myth?

Young Adult novels I think.
Is this mostly line work or stippling?
The whole concept is more akin to whether or not you are working directly with the material fruits of your labor, or if you’re some secondary or tertiary job to the actual work being done.
Basically, their view is that if you are not directly making the product or apart of the physical logistics for that product, then you’re in a bullshit job. I would not say I agree with the philosophy myself, but i kind of get it. ‘I farm Corn’, ‘I Truck frozen food’, and ‘I catch fish’, do exist in a very different realm from ‘I manage a team of QA specialists’, ‘I am an Advertisement Consultant’, and ‘I contribute to my company’s server backend codebase’.
Also, yeah, the 3-word rule of thumb sucks.
Meritocracies are still terrible and not the thing to strive for.

retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org•Might not interest anyone here until a later development stage, but this open-source key generator can run on a Nintendo 64: "retro-crypto"
5·1 month agoWelp, cryptographic software Nintendo 64 port wasn’t on my bingo card, but I respect using retro-hardware emulation as the compatibility layer.
Love me a good battered fry, but my go-to is shoestring. They air fry quite nicely.

1·2 months agoSo just to get a feeling for how big of a change this is, this would be similar to if the United states abolished states and had towns self govern based on US law. Do I have that right? Seems like drastic change which could definitely speed operations up.
You’re carrying out a similar fallacy by claiming use of the term in its original field is illigitimate in this argument. On top of that, right on the wikipedia page for Eusociality, it states that biologists such as E.O. Wilson have previously argued that humans are weakly eusocial, weakening your whole argument in the first place.
The concept of humans as super-organisms is explored in both sociology and biology, and i’d argue that that means humans fit the bill. Whatever no-true-Scotsman version you’ve been gate keeping with doesn’t even fully agree with the field you’re supposedly arguing on the behalf of.












So what’s it look like inside it?
