  • If that’s a steelman then it’s definitely at forging temperature (which jet fuel btw can achieve easily), collapsing under its own weight.

    I don't understand. I simply agreed with the previous poster. Do you disagree with anything I wrote?

  • Yes. That's a good use of resources. Any country will do it that way, and has done it that way. The engineers develop new weapons. The workers build them. Entertainers do propaganda. Anyone else goes to the front.

    However, during Elvis Presley's time to serve, there was no hot war being fought. I don't think US conscripts were sent into battle between the end of the UN operation in Korea/the Korean War, and some time after the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

  • Bullshit. At 21, he was eligible for conscription as any other male US citizen, and so he was conscripted.

    A peaceful stint with the NATO forces in Germany was typical at the time. I don't think any US conscripts saw battle during these years.

  • It depends on where you are, I think. Was yours more of a beer lab or a wine lab?

  • Oh yes. You absolutely don't have to believe that the earth is billions of years old to understand geology. You just have to assume that it looks like it is, while doing geology. That's completely compatible with believing that it really is just 8,000 years old.

  • What?

  • How else are you going to have a 1-sided sheet?

    Hmm. Would the surface of a sphere qualify as a sheet? But I feel that is cheating. The inside would count as another side if you could only get to it.

  • The joke works regardless of whether she is trans or not. What you're saying effectively means that I shouldn't share the meme simply because a trans-woman is shown.

  • Musk's daughter, maybe more estranged than his other kids, and Trump's son. The idea is that the "feud" between them could be ended by a marriage of 2 of their children.

    Kinda like in Dune where the Bene Gesserit wanted to end the Atreides/Harkonnen feud by marriage and so ordered Jessica to only bear daughters.

  • I think the only way to truly delete anything from reddit would be living in EU and enforcing a GDPR request, but even in that case, I believe it would be very difficult to check they actually comply.

    Wouldn't work. GDPR is not copyright. Deleting the username is enough, unless you have doxed yourself in some post.

    Rather, it can be argued that GDPR requires restoring comments at least in some situations. Comments may be necessary context to understand replies or even other posts.

  • Not quite.

    Generally, sites aren't liable for user generated content as long as they follow some rules. They need to take down illegal content and provide some way of reporting such content. In the US, that's the whole DMCA takedown thing. The whole content ID thing, that YouTube does, might not be strictly necessary, but it was rolled out in response to a high-stakes lawsuit. The EU is, as always, more strict in these matters.

    People are not punished for things beyond their control (but mind that a fine is not the same as damages). If you are sent illegal content, that you have not requested, you shouldn't expect formal punishment, though the investigation may be punishing in itself. If you simply don't know how caching works, you're probably in trouble.

    But this was about copyright. I don't think you get punished anywhere for holding some copyright. Say some Japanese Manga artist travels to some European state where some of their works are illegal. They're not going to get arrested for that. Anyone who brings such illegal works into the country will not be so lucky, regardless of copyright.

  • You don't see why you would need your own servers? Do you see why unauthorized access to a computer system might be illegal?

  • "Violating copyright without a licence" is a lovely turn of phrase. You must be the valedictorian of the Lemmy School of Copyright.

  • No. I am not aware of any law that makes you liable by holding or claiming the copyright to some content. EG you may have to pay damages for libel, but not because you have copyright to the libelous statement.
