So, if i rip off an AI author, I will only owe royalties to the author the AI ripped off?

If it is done by skinheads then it is automatically NOT punk. Just like No Doubt does not make “ska”, but especially, very much, absolutely more so!

Some of them even fathered children while doing so. If those children are not given every possible support available to it then by their government, every monetary, food, social, health, etc, then that government is creating illegitimate children, which speaks to the legitimacy of the government itself

Perfection

Having been in a similar situation when I was young, having since worked, professionally, with teenage boys in a very close environment (staff basically lived 24/7 in a group housing situation for a combination of wards of the state/ adjudicated offenders/ “problem” kids, for 4 or 5 days at a stretch), and having to still enforce boundaries with some toxic parents, I have to be real with you…

You are going to have to steel yourself and force yourself to get out of that situation and just live life. It is going to be HARD. You are going to have to set your ego completely aside. You are going to have to tell yourself that you are playing a LONG game and just persist for as long as it takes. You are going to have to abandon EVERYTHING that you assume is what your life is going to be about, and start out into the world like the archetypal “Fool”.

Keep firm hold of your values, but prepare yourself to be rid of EVERYTHING else. That might include your dignity, your social position, what others who you care about think about you.

And you are going to have to press your luck. HARD

There is a chance, though, that you might come out on the other side, years from now, able to hold your head high because you have proven yourself, to yourself. That is the only thing that will matter. You just might be able to look back on your life and realize that you performed WAY better than you once thought you would. It will be VERY satisfying, and it will make the tough times seem worth it.

I wish I could offer you more, but the above describes the journey I have found myself to have undertaken, and, as dirt poor as I am, I have good friends, solid relations with select family members, concrete things that I am proud to have accomplished, and an understanding of the world that I remain surprised to have acquired.

It was very, very hard at times. I took some serious risks and managed to choose goals that turned out to be worth it in ways that I could not have imagined.

It is up to you. Your ace in the hole right now is that you are young. Take chances, but try to avoid going against the values that you hold. Regrets are a bitch.

Go for it.

I have family, DEVOUT Christians, that live in the actual holy land. I asked them “who is that?” in response to their posting a picture of white-as-fuck Jesus on the Facebook page for the family village. They have yet to respond

Someone, who can stomach it, please post this on r/anarcho-capitalism or r/Austrian economics. Those morons just LOVE this guy

In THIS economy?

There was a TON of organizing happening 10 years ago. Then Obama got reelected and everybody, except the people trying to do the organizing, went back to watching dancing with the stars

Nobody wanted to listen then, so now we are all getting to enjoy the same hand basket

Oh, and I forgot about the select few who decided that THEIR perspective outranked everybody else’s, and used their petit tyranny to remove some very good willed people from certain organizing spaces

So, now some of us get to at least watch while those select few get hammered by this bullshit first.

Looking at YOU Monica

You’d think with that username…

It rules!

If Reed Brody is criticizing Ortega then that is a bad sign I can see the deeper situation, that this is really just hardening the Nicaraguan government against external meddling, which is a BIG thing in Nicaragua. That said, it would be impressive if the Nicaraguan government could find a better way to do that

Yeah it sure does. There is no way that garbage should be showing up for me, but yet…
