I have no doubt that, in addition to the spontaneous protests on Saturday, there are many more demonstrations whose planning has been kicked into high gear by the events of this weekend.
Of course they are, and that will just feed the narrative / give them an excuse to put more troops on the streets / allow them to swoop in and place all such daycares "temporarily" under government control "for protection" / give added fuel to the eventual argument for martial law.
No one is ever allowed to come within arms length of the levers of power unless the system either owns them or owns evidence with which to compel them.
Sanction us back to the Stone Age. I've lived on Saltines and condiments for months before, and I'm perfectly willing to do it again if it means our fascist government feels the pain.
Copyright around the Pantone system is historically a pretty murky area. According to Pantone themselves,
"published materials of Pantone, are protected by copyright laws and include, for example, graphic presentations, color references, Pantone Colors, Pantone Names, numbers, formulas, and software". (Clause 4, Pantone EULA)
Aaron Perzanowski researches intellectual and personal property law at the University of Michigan Law School. He says that Pantone has no underlying intellectual property rights when it comes to either individual colors, or the color libraries of which they are a part. “There’s no copyright protection available for individual colors, and the limited trademark rights for specific colors don’t apply here either,” Perzanowski says.
Practically, a US District Court has ruled that, while Pantone cannot copyright a color, they can copyright the "Pantone Color System" that specifically exists to provide print-accurate colors.
The entire world should be sanctioning the fuck out of the US. It's entirely obvious the administration is off the rails and isn't going to stop on its own.
I'm so happy you provided me this great advice in answer to my question.
Maybe you should have subscribed to "How Not To Be a Huge Ass on the Internet Quarterly". A lot of people like it for the pictures, but I read it for the articles.
By comparison, the cost to eradicate world hunger by 2030 would be $93 billion a year, and I can guarantee not a penny of those trillions will EVER help a poor person.
Like I replied to another comment, the Mac was necessary for work (art and music) and was light years ahead of anything else that can be obtained at its price point ($575).
Please point me to a single comment I've made on any post in the last 24 hours that indicates, in any way, that I don't consider the arbitrary abduction of the head of a foreign government to be a serious breach of international law.
You cannot.
What I won't let slide without argument are false equivalencies, half-truths, or misrepresentations of law.
When horrible shit happens is the time for more accuracy and specificity, not less.
I, personally, would drive to the wreckage and take a huge dump on it before going on the celebration bender of a lifetime if another country had the balls to wipe Mar A Lago off the map.
Next nationwide 50501 protest is a national walk-out on Jan 20th.
We'll see you there, right?
