  • I think the extra point here, is that a bit of violence is often the answer to get idiots to shut the fuck up. You think our government would be in this state if each individual knew fucking over “the people” was going to lead to them getting their ass kicked? There’s no longer a balance to keep anyone in check for being a piece of shit.

    It’s also why the start of nearly every single major authoritarian government take over in the world over the past 120 years . The Armenian Genocide, the soviet Union under Stalin, Nazi Germany Under Adolf, China under Mao (who was attributed with killing 65 million chinese), Cambodia, and then way back to the United States before becoming a country when King George tried to confiscate guns against the colonies before the revolutionary war broke out, which is why gun rights was put in the constitution to begin with.

    “Speak softly, but carry a big stick”. Well the stick has been shrinking and the assholes have started popping up.









  • That entire page you linked is all one single incident of a guy at a kayak factory, and by what you pictured the kayak factory was found guilty of something, which means they weren’t doing something correctly or to code.

    As to freezers, at least in the US they can all be opened from the inside, latched closed or not. It’s actually against building regulations and fire code to have it any other way.

    *edit: additional fun fact- the reason your house fridge closes with just a magnet strip instead of a latch mechanism happened like 70 years ago because sometimes kids would climb in them to play or hide (often old ones outside or at junk yards) and die. It was known as “The Refrigerator Safety Act”.




  • At the same time, “similar works” are protected and allowed as legal. For instance the 5000 spaghetti westerns that exist, or the entire formula for 80’s slasher films. Or Ants and A Bugs Life, or Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, or Deep Impact and Armageddon.

    So there has to be some sort of line somewhere that’s a cut-off, but it might be hard to find. Musk wanted to use blade runner and was told to fuck off, so he made up his own dystopian Sci fi future scene. He most certainly aimed for the blade runner look, but was it illegal?






  • There was a fan in my last fire departments bay (where the trucks are kept) named (for real) “Big Ass Fan”. It was literally 20 feet across with metal blades and the adjustment was a percentage from 1 to 100%. 100% was a whirling death wind of speed and sound. If a blade where to ever fly off it would put a hole through a wall or slice a man in two.
