Have a Question? V3

[K^2]

Can we post pictures of it at dusk?

The actual copyrighted thing is the lights arrangement. If the lights are still off, it's good. Once the lights are on, you fall under the copyright trap.

[Raavi]

I've copyrighted my car lights, if I ever get flashed by a speed camera again, I'll sue them for copyright infringement.

[*MURDOC*]

You'll lose unless they publicly display your speed camera photo.

 

The design of your headlights are probably already copyrighted anyway lol.

[Dottie]

MURDOC has flamed to many threads today.

 

Did people really get warnings for posting night pictures of the Eiffel Tower lol?

I got a reminder from a mod.

TBH it was worth it

@MURDOC I've altered and arranged them in such a way it's unmistakably mine. You get the idea.

 

To my knowledge there is only an issue when one seeks to publish these pictures in France, doing so in other countries (or online) is regulated by international agreements and local laws. Furthermore the claim of copyright is very questionable and I sincerely doubt any self-respecting judge would uphold it. It's also strange that unlike the Atomium which is also copyrighted there are plenty of pictures of the "copyrighted" eiffel tower lights on wikipedia.

Looks to me like this Awful Tower issue deserves its own Topic.

I got the joke, I was purposely being accurately pedantic simply for the sake of giving Raavi sh*t.

Is it me or did Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen get uglier as the years goes by?

 

Few years ago

 

 

 

Now

I hope its just some bad camera angle because the left one looks she took a weird turn in her life. Or just the lack of eyeshadow

They certainly did, surgery and struggling to be remembered as something more than failed child stars would do that to you. It's the same reason Macaulay Culkin looks like he died 10 years ago and the same reason why Miley Cyrus looks like Cyrus the Virus from the movie Con Air if he was made to wear skimpy clothes.

[*MURDOC*]

To be fair, the Olsen twins got a bad case of monkeyface when they turned about 8 or 9 years old.

 

From then on they just got plain old frightening.

 

 

 

 

They are hilariously awkward sometimes though when posing for pictures, they have these default robo-faces that they make every time they detect a camera in their vicinity.

Is there a reason why there are so many liberal people on this board?

 

I mean when I shared my coming out to my parents on the feelings thread noone outwright called me a fa**ot, something I was expecting but didn't care. Actually you guys were pretty helpful and accepting. The feminist topics, the anti-capitalism sentiment, the anti-gun beliefs. I've never seen so many liberals in one place!

 

Maybe it's just because there are so many different nationalities on here?

 

This isn't anything like where I live.

Someone (I think Sivispacem, it was well written so seems likely)put it well, in the US "liberal" is what the rest of the world would call left-leaning centrist. So by American standards, most of the developed world is nearly communist level of bleeding-heart liberal. So it's really that the US is hyper conservative and there are a lot of non-US folk here.

 

Also, the American youth are going to be more liberal, in general, than older generations, and you'll find more youth here than greybush.

Anti capitalism isn't a liberal position and there are few genuine anti-capitalists on this board.

Thank you!

 

Wow that makes sense now. *Alot* of people I know would be having a spaz attack over the majority views on this forum.

 

At first it didn't seem real like people were being over the top and sarcastic or something.

 

I've gotten used to it now.

Well nobody called you a fa**ot because homophobic slurs are not accepted here.

Anyone else dealing with a shortage of .22lr ammunition in their area? It's very difficult to find some in my area, and if you do manage to find some it's being sold at a jacked up price

Also maybe it would have been a horrible thing to do, and... for the most part... the forumers aren't horrible people.

Yeah it kind of makes sense, the racist, homophobic, bigots tend to not mention their controversial opinions because they know they'll get warning and eventually banned, meaning only the kind, polite 'liberal' side of the community is seen.

At first I thought *I* was liberal, but I guess only by American Standards. That's what shocked me the most is some on here are self-admitted communists, which is a big taboo.

 

I'm going to be honest, I used to think "make total destroy" was a legit troll.

 

*and sometimes I still do* - Kidding!

Because the majority of the developed world is considerably left of what Americans constitute to be the "centre" of the political spectrum, which to us is basically centre-right.

Got it in one.

 

Basically, the US interpretation of what constitutes "left" and "right" politically has a zero point about 4 notches over toward "right" than everyone else's. In Europe, true centrist (social democrats, ordoliberals, third way etc) parties are, well, centrist. On the US' scale, they're basically ultrasocialist.

Makes sense.

 

Some of the views on here seem extreme, like something I've never heard before from someone irl and they seem kind of unreal or something. Like holy sh!t lol.

 

Although I bet the rest of the world thinks the same way for right in the United States, which is just more casual here.
