The guys who came along years later and were (more) openly about drugs and sex (instead of semi-covertly about it)

The Rolling Stones were always the spoiled rich kids pretending to be tough. The Beatles were poor kids pretending to be posh. There are whole books written about that dynamic.

I thought free software was when you were the product and non-free software actually supported developers.

Or do you mean non-OSS?

The color or the fruit?

I don’t think they’re trying to do anything illegal. They just want to do it faster and in bulk. Still from the original source that is providing it for free. Not redistributing. Looks like someone linked a tool that might do that.

ISO dates, 100%.

Time zones…I could see arguing to rework them, but abolish them? How would that even work?

Looking at you, Google Play Library.

That’s an argument against an executive branch of government, not an argument against a constitutional monarchy.

You could have (and many countries do) a parliamentary system like you describe without having a monarch figurehead.

The question I think OP is asking is: why have the monarch figurehead.

It’s all processed on device. If you don’t trust that that’s the case, then I assume you believe that Google employees looking at photos is already happening.

This could be a helpful tool for those trying to above harassment (unwilling recipients of dick pics)

You know this is a feature, not a requirement, and that it is optional - and is off by default for adults, right?

There’s a kid who calls her father dada (dadda?..sp?) throughout the movie

Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.

Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call

Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.

But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.

Saving Private Ryan is at least “very good” if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.

And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn’t a 'high art ’ genre)

Ah yes. “If you’re rich, nothing is illegal, there’s just a fee”

That’s definitely a thing, but something different.

I don’t think you get what I was saying. I’m not debating the definition of the word “fee.”

I’m saying that in most states in the USA, there’s often a fee for many things that can get gotten completely for free if you prove your income is low enough.

So I guess you could say you “pay a fee” of the extra time and hassle to prove your low income. But for something like a state ID, for instance, you can get one absolutely free (no money paid) if your income is low enough.

One small point to correct/adjust is the idea that these sites were “ignored.”

The pyramids have been a tourist attraction for thousands of years. The Romans talked about visiting them. I’m guessing there was never a time when they weren’t of interest to people in the area. Same for something like the Colosseum, Parthenon, or Pantheon. They might not have always prioritized preservation, but they certainly didn’t forget they existed.

Reverse. It’s only a fee if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it, it’s free.

A viable protest of decent size in my city that I can join. Even a few hundred people would be enough. Organized enough that I hear about it a week out and can shift my plans to be there.
