You seem to be ok with causing harm unrelated to the action taken. This is just identifying what that line is.

So people can go randomly punch the homeless? It won’t matter in the end if we are all dead due to climate change.

My soils lab was the most fun lab in college.

There isn’t an inherent financial reason for contributing to Creative Commons work the way there is for Open Source.

Major companies will contribute some development resources to Open Source software because they will get a concrete benefit and the overall effort will be cheaper than going with a closed source option. There really isn’t the equivalent for Creative Commons media.

My guess is if some companies are willing to have some full time remote positions, they are going to hire from LCOL areas with poor workers rights.

Metal and grunge still happened in a music video era.

I think a bigger thing that happened was the collapse of the CD. From that point, the new acts that the industry seemed to focus on were individuals instead of groups.

Because that kind of federal system doesn’t work well when you run a city.

Any sort of high pressure sales sucks.

And it was a great early episode where Keiko and Winn had their conflict regarding the school curriculum.

On Keiko’s end, it showed that she had to look for a place on the station and that she was making sacrifices for Miles. It also showed her beliefs the lens in which Federation civilians would look at religion.

On Winn’s end, you see her use of religion for political gain by turning a nothing issue into a conflict on the station. She is acting as a bad priest, using her role mainly for political gain.

but she has absolutely no deference for the fact that she’s married to one of the most hard working and honourable people in the whole galaxy

I think she does, which is why she stays with him and makes make changes and sacrifices to her life to be with him. However, there is a breaking point.

That said, I think she is a good person.

Patrick (H) Willems is great movie criticism with plot.

I can’t remember which YouTuber called Real Life Lore the store brand Wendover, but it fits.

Probably as a stripped down bacteria.

While Visa may have done some unethical things to become the monopoly, the industry would have naturally gone that way no matter what.
