If you’re not going to take the effort type “can a government use patents” into Google and look at the top link. It took me less than a minute to find that government using a patent is just baked into the patent system. There’s not additional law around it. So it might be better to go the WD 40 route and never actually file a patent to the formula to avoid sharing the formula publicly.

That’s… not how eminent domain works…? Like it’s scope only applied to stuff like building sidewalks, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

Because it’s a lot easier for Disney to churn out mickey mouse cartoons than it is for General Electric to come up with an entirely new rotating joint for the helicopter mounted motorized minigun

For using volume measurements (weighs are still superior tho) flour shouldn’t be packed in but spooned into the measuring device and leveled with the back of a knife but brown sugar should be packed into the measuring device.

In recipes, they’ll call for a heaped teaspoon or tablespoon, everything else is implied to be leveled, especially leavening agents like baking powder/soda. There’s also an understanding that certain things don’t need as much precision, like adding in flavoring extracts.

I also do really like the nice even 25° increments that recipes align to for farenheight.

You’d have a point if this were good faith encouragement of civic duty, but it’s not, it’s a surreptitious attempt to gain control over the mechanisms of power at the expense of everyone else.

Ooh yeah that’s another good potential use case too!

At the end of the day the choice fulfills a bunch of roles, probably even beyond just the sound bite splicing challenges and poking fun at conservatives.

Why must you bestow this cursed knowledge upon us?

Absolutely, there’s a lot of planning that goes into events like this down to the wardrobes people on stage are gonna wear. Was it planned because Republicans lost their shit over the tan suit during the Obama administration and it was a jab at that? Maybe, probably, and it also serves as a way to more quickly identify shich day a soud bite is taken from and a bit harder for oppositional propaganda to stitch disparate quotes together to push an alternative narrative.

You’re asking an age old question about humanity that there is no answer beyond “humans are horny motherfuckers.”

There’s a lot more that Buttplug.io supports. It’s an entire open source framework that others can build stuff onto to control sex toys. As for why these? Eh why not? Single player games don’t exactly require the consent of other players if you’re getting your rocks off to game controlled sex toys, and multi-player games should only be used if you do actually have consent.

Specifically for ultrakill’s officially supported mod, that’s just the kind of thing they’d do. They also made body pillow covers of Gabriel and V1 as official merch. And yes they are in those kinds of poses.

Yup and Ultrakill has an officially released mod that integrates with Buttplug.io.

Poes law in name has been around for about as long as 4chan, but Nathan Poe was making an observation based on a Christian forum in a debate on creationism and before Poe made his observation and became the name of the law, Jerry Schwartz posted advising against using sarcasm unless you put something marking it as satire on Usenet in 1983. This effect was known well before 4chan, dating back to the days of Usenet.

If you don’t say you’re joking on the internet, someone will take something at face value without getting the joke.

Poe’s Law is a law of the internet for a reason. Unless you indicate tone text alone can easily be mistaken for genuine opinion.

We’re outside of presidential norms whenever there’s a conservative president.

It’s a lot more purple than you’d believe, but the state is gerrymandered to hell and uses every voter suppression tactic in the book to make sure the final winner takes all vote goes red.

You are downplaying Trump. The op comment said Biden flooding Israel with weapons, I pointed out that it will absolutely be worse under Trump and trump’s rhetoric is promising that it will be worse. Then you came along and got pissy that I’m pointing out that genocide absolutely will get worse under Trump. I don’t deal with absolutes, I prefer to to operate under the assumption that things can be complicated and to varying degrees of goodness or badness and I push for minimizing overall harm. Biden and the US government overall is providing weapons to a genocidal state because of the treaties ae have, Trump will absolutely send more regardless of treaties.

I don’t like genocide. If the feasible options presented were between no genocide or yes genocide, I’m going to pick no genocide. But those are not the viable options, it’s slow rolled equipment deployment to a genocidal state vs enthusiastic floodgates of weapons to a genocidal state. And I’m going to choose the one that is the least harm.

The only people pushing the genocide Joe line while also downplaying how trump will actively be worse has always been trumpers trying to discourage liberals progressives and leftists from voting.

Nope, not what I said at all. I recognize that Biden is begrudgingly honoring the treaties we have with Israel as is expected by the supremacy clause of the Constitution (the constitution, federal laws and any treaties signed by the presidency are the Supreme law of the land) and I’m pointing out that Trump will enthusiastically send weapons regardless of any treaties.

Besides Joe isn’t even running for president any more, this whole Genocide Joe talking point doesn’t even matter at this point.
