Pretty sure they're both required to do that by law. I've downloaded all my Facebook data a few times

Actually I don't think it is. They'd have a license to use it in perpetuity but if they claimed legal ownership then they'd be responsible for what you post.

They get the benefits of ownership without any of the responsibility.

A buddy of mine worked in a theatre and told me that the film's were all 1080P. I called bullshit. Those screens were huge they were clearly 4K. He showed me the reel and yup he was right.

If theatres don't even bother with 4K, your TV doesn't need 8K.

One hurdle we have to deal with is the assumption by the general public that markets = capitalism.

You tell people capitalism has failed them and they worry that you mean to take away their ability to buy a latte.

We used one to come up with a name for a feature cocktail at work. It's pretty good for that kind of stuff.

The actor drops character from time to time when he's using long sentences and you catch a glimpse of exactly that. I'd love to see him do other stuff as well though. Thug aside, he's legitimately awesome at breaking down subtext for dumb dumbs like me to get.

Me with Thug Notes. I wish I had discovered it during highschool :(

Give what you can, take what you need. Sometimes it can be worth it to bring a egotistic justification into it for the benefit of those that don't think like you do.

Even the most selfish person in existence should see that something like eradicating poverty in the third world might help them.

Imagine all the potential Einstein's, Newton's and Curie's that never got the chance to study physics or chemistry or engineering or art or agriculture or anything but instead died of sepsis at the age of 4. We literally all benefit from giving freely.

I'm not going to argue with you because you're not going to be receptive to contrary evidence but I need you to understand that "centuries" does not even register on the scale of domestic vs introduced species. Your cat is an introduced species and you should keep it indoors.

People who let their cats roam are irresponsible owners and shouldn't own pets.
