I think the question of fair use is separate from the question of piracy, and probably separate from the question of intellectual property in general. Even if we were to protect fair use, that doesn't make it legal to wholesale copy books. Individual piracy from people who can't really afford it is one thing and largely harmless, even a net good. I know people who only started reading books from particular authors because they pirated one copy and bought others. That's very different from a company downloading entire libraries of books without paying. Shifting the question from piracy to fair use is just another way of making you think of the wrong question.

I'd like to live in a world that doesn't gatekeep property. But we live in a world where artists aren't paid for their work directly, and in that world intellectual property is necessary.

On Android some apps have their own notification sounds, too. It's very common with chat apps and other social apps (dating, language exchange, that kind of thing) and some very annoying games that earn a pretty quick disable or uninstall from me.

I do this with loose screws and bolts as well.

I'd say don't be hesitant to try to get her into things. Don't push it multiple times, but if she's genuinely never heard of, for example, South Park, just show her an episode. If she doesn't like it, that's that and it's not your fault or anything and it sounds like she's at least willing to give things a shot for you.

Then of course try to find things you'll both like. But do it together cause it's more fun that way and it sucks to feel like you're the only one trying.

But also maybe you don't have a ton of interests to share and just enjoy each other's company and that's fine 🤷

Oh sorry, I meant what kind of box?

Have you heard the stuff from the new v4 model? The vocals are so much clearer and the instrumentation gets pretty varied (ymmv depending on how specific you get with the styles though)

It's a fair interpretation of the question, but I believe the original question was one more of practice than theory. In theory, it's abnormal to snore. In practice, a good chunk of the population does snore.

Petty theft rings too true. Had a friend that worked at one of those bulk ingredient shops who'd regularly just take home like a kilo of rice or flour. They don't check anyway and it hardly affects their bottom line.

Having tried simple bidets in both warm, cold, and neutral-ish climates, I find that cold water bidets seem to stiffen the poo bits and make it hard to actually get them off your butt esp since they stick to the hairs. You and I might be talking about different levels of cold, though.

And has the same initials as Francis Magellan. And was literally born on 9/11.

Just funny coincidences. His wife, Imelda Marcos, is still alive and reaping the benefits of their dictatorship.

Bongbong is a nickname, and a kind of clunky one in English (rolls off the tongue in Tagalog). His name is Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
