Sure did. But I’m sure you knew that.

If something is in the public domain, there is no copyright covering it, so you should make as many copies as you feel like. Many public domain books are posted on the Internet Archive, where you can easily download them in various formats. Then you won’t have to work hard to get the data. Public domain artwork, likewise, is often available on Wikimedia Commons.

I feel like blogs are small and relatively stand alone, and nothing like large corporations or Lemmy. Visibility is a question, but that just raises more questions. How many viewers do you want each month? What if you only have a few but they really care what you say? How many views do you get here? Do people hear even care what you say? What if you started a blog but cross posted links to it here? Maybe that would take advantage of both worlds, or maybe it wouldn’t, and all of that depends on your goals and whether you have anything to communicate and whether you do a good job of communicating it.

What’s being held back, and what’s being freed? Certainly my thoughts aren’t being held back or freed.

I suppose that would be a good example, wouldn’t it.

I don’t know. I slept through a bunch of high school classes, but I heard that people studied that kind of stuff.

You know the quality is high when there’s a reminder that it’s shitposting. Wonderful.

I’m totally okay with people pointing out the fact that the man is a creepy sexist jerk face. And I’m totally okay with people doing it a lot, because he has too much power, and you can’t just pretend he doesn’t exist and that his actions don’t matter.

On occasion, racist cops will violate white folks too. They’re never perfectly racist.

Requests are optional, my friend. And the visibility no concern. We know that’s a blatant lie. You want to know how we know? Easy.

What if the cop doesn’t force him out of the car? What would the cop do? I got it! He’d go back to his police car, far from Tyreek, perfectly safe, and then he’d write up the ticket. Then he’d walk back to Tyreek and give him the ticket. The end. Almost no contact, and all of that with backup officers on hand ready to assist. No violence, no handcuffs, no nothing.

After all, most people driving expensive cars aren’t gonna stress about a speeding ticket. So give them the ticket already.
