No :P

I bet women don't cover their drinks when ~~Walz walks~~ Tim Waltzes into the room

I can't believe you just left that perfect opportunity sitting by the wayside!

For what?

Isn't deliberately missing the point also satire?

Also, to lean into it: they only took Manhattan because they didn't dare step foot in the other boroughs. Except for a bar in Williamsburg (I'd say one with skeeball but that doesn't narrow it down), they were super popular there.

It's so weird how people just go ahead and discuss things when you post them on a public forum. So weird. If I didn't know better, I'd think this place was even built with public discussion of ideas in mind, but that would be ridiculous.

That's a great question. I wonder if the judge knows the owner/founder of Lighthouse.

I think selling such skulls would be highly unethical.

Would you? Why? FWIW I agree that as long as there's a living person who cares about the fate of the bones then selling them would be unethical, I'm just curious as to your specific reasons - like, what is the hypothetical you're imagining, behind this statement? Are you contending it would be unethical even if nobody living cares, just due to the provenance? I can see why you would object if the former user of the anatomy believed in the sanctity of remains, for example.

I'm not sure I'd agree, but I'm not sure I'd disagree either. I'd need to think on it more. Right now, I'm leaning towards respecting the wishes of the dead as far as their remains go, because the universe is big and cruel and the only kindnesses are those we make for each other, so why shouldn't that extend as far as we do?

I think you don't understand the difference between fundamental rights and regular old rights. A right does not have to be fundamental to be a right.

And, if copyright law were about encouraging creation, it would not restrict the use of other peoples' work.

Would you do me a favour? Read back over this thread until you realise you just argued creation is "encouraged" by a category of law which only restricts the use of other peoples' work, including modifying it to create derivative works, and has been used as a club against creation to boot. Consider, how does Nintendo kill Smash tourneys? How many YouTube videos have been wrongly DMCA'd?

That's crazy! At my job, I just help our users. I don't have to build (and then maintain) infrastructure with them.

I regularly fix my bashrc file with Notepad. I run it in Wine because I cbf to RealVNC from my Windows CE media server.

(n.b: None of this is real, I wrote it to upset people, I'm sorry)

A retired Aurora police sergeant faces criminal charges for raping his daughter and continually sexually assaulting her and his two adopted daughters, but he remains free from custody while his ex-wife is in jail for objecting to court-ordered reunification therapy meant to repair his relationship with two of his sons.

The mother, Rachel Pickrel-Hawkins, said the reunification therapy by Christine Bassett, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has been harmful, abusive and counterproductive.

The reunification therapist, Bassett, is conducting the therapy at Lighthouse Christian Counseling in Fort Collins, which advertises itself on the internet as “integrating faith into the counseling process.”

“We believe that, as we push into the hard and painful things surrounding us, God meets us with both grace and truth,” the website for Lighthouse Christian Counseling states. “It is our delight to extend that grace and truth to others, regardless of their faith journey.”

"Reunification Therapy" that turns out to be just psychologically and physically abusing victims into a Stockholm Syndrome-like relationship with the child rapists that abused them? From a Christian organisation? My face right now, I am telling you three times, it is the Platonic Ideal of shock and disbelief.
