The problem is that it specifies both a purpose

• To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts

and a mechanism by which to do so

• by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

The purpose is great, the mechanism is dogshit in the 21st century, as it just lazily crams information into capitalism rather than adapting capitalism to the realities of information.

The problem is that capitalism is a system entirely based around things that are scarce, and it only functions in that context. Air for instance is completely free and valueless, even though it’s wildly critical, just because it is abundant. In capitalism things don’t have value when they are useful or needed, just when they are scarce.

That works fine-ish when you mostly deal in physical goods, because the way that energy and mass scale means that they are somewhat inherently scarce, it takes just as much mass/energy to make a second copy as the first. Information blows this apart though, starting with the written word, escalating with the printing press, and being oblitered in the digital connected age, as information does not scale like energy / mass and as a result it has become trivial to infinitely copy and distribute information, making it abundant the moment it’s digitized.

So now you have the Constitution enshrining mechanisms that enforce scarcity where there is absolutely no need for scarcity.

They are literal bodybuilders and that is obvious to everyone who looks at them.

What the fuck kind of proof are you expecting? A a video diary of every meal ever consumed?

Exercising is the easy part of body building. Eating and sleeping well enough is the hard part.

Lmfao, no they didn’t, you misunderstood the difference in recommended intakes for maintenance (/kg) vs gaining muscle / slowing it’s atrophy in old age (/lb).

1lb of LEAN body mass is still a shit ton of protein to have to try and squeeze in. For your average adult man that’s the equivalent of 5-7 scoops of protein powder, or like ~1.5lb of chicken breast, every single day.

You’re not getting that unless you’re going out of your way to.

But dumbasses think protein is only in meat. Internet thinks protein = meat.

No, the vast majority of bodybuilders and gym bros use whey protein powder which is dairy based.

Also, if we’re talking normal food, you have to eat 6 full cans of beans to get the same protein as 1lb of chicken or fish. Meat is not the only way to get protein but the fact of the matter is that for most people (assuming they ignore the morals and ethics) it’s gonna be easier and tastier to get a substantial amount of protein from meat.

And let’s just ignore colon cancer rates in <30 coincident with the protein fad.

Lmfao thanks random internet person for your rough feeling of correlation. Glad no actual researcher would have ever possibly thought to check that in their study! /S

Lmfao at this whole thread of nonsense answers.

It’s not a weird obsession.

If you want to be muscular, then you need to eat a lot of protein.

If you want to be muscular and have a low body fat percentage, then you need to eat a lot of protein, and eat a lot of protein / calorie you eat.

If you’re old and want to slow down how quickly your muscles waste away to maintain your physical health, you need to eat a lot of protein.

And protein is generally one of the more expensive parts of food, so companies constantly try and cut back and replace it with carbs and sugar instead… All leading to people seeking out food with high protein content

That’s how much you need to eat when you’re trying to actively gain muscle, not just maintain your current amount.

And quite frankly, either put on that much muscle or kindly accept that they may have a point.

Its not because of obsession, it’s because it’s literally the starting point for nutrition knowledge, and it’s the most obvious thing that would be lacking in a vegan diet. When people think substantial protein they think meat first and dairy and eggs second.

See: Valve’s lost decade.

Valve overcharges everyone so much that they could actually afford to try this and let their workers work on whatever they wanted. The end result was a cluster fuck that produced basically nothing for a decade.

It didn’t matter, because, again, Valve rips the entire gaming industry off so badly that they were still wildly profitable, but it’s part of why we saw no sequels to any of their games.

Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

Try and be less American.

If it discourages people from owning guns or getting into guns as a hobby, then it makes society overal safer.

I believe that was Chris Rock: https://youtu.be/VZrFVtmRXrw

Most of the hobbyist 3D printer market is not people who think that building 3D printers is fun and their primary hobby, it’s people who bought them to print other stuff for them.

It’s literally the entire reason Bambu has shot to popularity so fast.

Lol, do you realize that regular 2D printer manufacturers have mandates for embedding codes in the prints so that they can be traced?

Or that Photoshop and photo editing software has mandated counterfeit bill detection features in it?

It doesn’t completely invalidate all of your points, but the idea is not as crazy or unprecedented as a hammer with anti murder technology. Hell even just basic cap guns have to have an orange tip.

As long as gun nuts kept insisting on designing and printing guns, this was inevitably going to happen. Like what the fuck did they think the end result of designing and distributing murder machines online was going to be?? Did they really think everyone, in every jurisdiction and country around the world, was going to agree with their dumbass Republican interpretation of the 2nd amendment?

Thanks gun nuts! You’re obsession with point and click murder machines has now led to this.

Yes, this is why missile defense programs going all the way back to Regan’s “Star Wars” scheme have been controversial.

I agree with almost all those choices but I never finished any of those series so didn’t put them on.

Severance is the only one on there I disagree with. They may stick the landing, but imho I highly suspect they’ve fully jumped the shark and are in the “oh fuck, we didn’t actually plan for it to go on this long” part of a mystery box. I suspect it will just waste time for like another 2-3 seasons then suddenly end while not answering half the questions from the early seasons … like virtually all of mystery boxes that aren’t Dark do.

Lol shut the fuck up you cunty dumbass. No one is on here reading through everyone’s post history but you, you crept fucking weirdo.

Market my sweaty asshole after you finish munching on it numb nuts.
