Aside from practical reasons like being able to read and write, I think the age to vote should be as low as possible.

People are concerned that parents will coerce their kids, but that would happen across the board. It would come out in the wash.

The most important thing is that folks are civically engaged as young as possible. They are invested in the outcome and exercise their rights early.

I would say a good starting point would be third grade. Right when you begin learning social studies.

Do something that will make them laugh and enjoy themselves.

I gave a seminar once that ended with a demonstration of the terminal, ssh, and nginx. I had everyone go to the url where I was hosting a hello world. I killed the server over ssh and told them to refresh the page. Nothing there. I swapped the page, turned it back on, and told them to refresh the page again. I Rick Rolled them. They all laughed. It may not have been the most informative talk, I didn’t really ‘teach’ them anything, but I got some good questions afterwards.

Be creative and make it fun and they will come to you.

You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press ‘mark as read’. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox

Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That’s what it is there for.

Literally cut the cord for them. Seriously though. If they are happy with it and can afford it, I’d just leave it alone

My mom uses them for dog poop too

Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself

Got Liz and Dick Cheney

It’s probably a colonialist name that isn’t used anymore. It’s now known as Eswatini

Swaziland and Switzerland

That’s a very good point

Get yourself a good therapist. It is their job to help you answer these kinds of questions yourself.

Block them and move on. Half of scamming is getting money. The other half is trolling by wasting the target’s time.

I get it though. These assholes piss everyone off. Wanna counter them? Get really good at a hobby. Fall in love. Make a fuck ton of money. Etc.

Wasting even a moment of your time on these pieces of shit is time you aren’t doing the above. Don’t let them take from you that which you owe yourself

IMO it is a matter of who wants to use said copyrighted material, for what purpose, and to what end. And not necessarily over some period of time. Two licenses I use.

GNU Public License version 3, GPLv3. Strong copyleft. The right to copy is left to the end user. You can do whatever the hell you want with the code provided you pay forward the four basic freedoms granted to you under the license. I.e. You can view the source code, you can modify the source code, you can distribute the source code, and you can distribute your modifications.

If you do not pay forward the four basic freedoms, you are in violation of the license. This is why google, microsoft, etc. WILL NOT use gplv3 code. They will never grant the four freedoms downstream, and they don’t need the legal liability. They have code scanners that look for gplv3 code, and as a developer you use it, they will fire you on the spot. Serious shit.

The second is Creative Commons, CC. There are several variations based on if you can create derivative work, if you can make money off of it, if you need to credit upstream contributors. The one I use is CC-BY-NC-SA. That’s you can create derivative works and distribute them provided you: attribute pervious authors i.e. who is it BY, you can’t sell it i.e. it is Non Commercial, and since this was shared with you, you must Share Alike.

All that said, these are in a different category than commercial licenses, so restrictions may apply.

Also. “Intellectual property” is bullshit. It’s incredibly ambigous and doesn’t hold legal value itself. There are three things that do. Copyright, patent, and trademark. Each wrought with their own issues, but the broad concept of intellectual property only exists soley exploit those who don’t know better.

Did you look into it further or copy and pasted? For all anyone knows it could be what they are looking for, or it could be a fabrication.

Given that many of us who are american went to the public indoctination centers… I mean schools where we were “raised” by people in our “village”, I think it would look basically the same as it like it does now.

Unless you are talking about a world devoid of the educational industrial complex.

Sounds ultra white. Make a bunch of not white friends and bring them there. That’ll make things pretty interesting

What’s the premise?

My sister doesn’t talk specifically about patients by name, but she’ll say things about what she told someone to do that they didn’t, and the consequence was exactly what she told them. Stuff like that.

That’s how they become doctors in the first place. I teach 30 premeds per semester

No I have a full time position with insurance etc
