huh! it’s spreading. i’d personally think it’d be rude to start before the scheduled time without everyone present

okay question because i don’t know if i’m out of touch with corporate culture or just not american- are you amarican?

because afaik in Europe it’d be considered rude to begin a meeting before a scheduled time, unless everyone who was supposed to be there is there and agrees that they’d like to start early

reading the summary, it doesn’t seem like the king even saw that slave girl, only her shoe delivered by an eagle

so prolly not those

as much as it will sweetly whisper to you resist picking up the bow, if you pick it up you’ll never use anything else

… you can’t see the massive exaggeration for the sake of being funny?

but wouldn’t then people understand that the meeting has not yet begun? it’d be like a door opening at x:55 when the class starts at x+1:00, an open invitation to start gathering but the official start is in 5 minutes as scheduled

seen this around long before the age of AI

yeah at first i wanted to say “corporation” and “individual” but that’s not an equal playing field at all. So i just switched my woring to “bigger” thinking of idk, a writer in the same field who has a bigger following than you

i didn’t even get into the patents part because i’d be ranting about Adobe for hours again, and i already spend too much time thinking about them

edit: but then i said corporation anyway lol, i blame the fact i just woke up when i was writing that comment

though usually stupid and fucky copyright laws have one advantage - if someone bigger than you steals your idea you can take them to court. without copyright laws we’d have giant corporations just taking shit and using their platform to sell stolen ideas without a single cent going to the original creator…

which happens anyway, but uh, i guess it’d happen more?

honestly idk, let’s do a test run of a year without any copyright laws and see if anything changes like at all

my family hasn’t owned a dryer in all the years i used to wear zip up hoodies and they still did that

“Torture devices for neurodivergent people”

i’m the opposite, i’m trans and i picked a rather rare name for my fist name, but my middle name? Jon :)

i send messages to myself when i need to get a link/image from my phone to my pc or vice versa

sounds fake, as we all know gen z is loud teenagers, and millennials are just out of college

the person who you only notice when they stop playing
