The vast standard is music ships with the artist’s name baked into the metadata. It’s watermarked that way, kept in the fringes of the data, away from the main piece, just like a signature on the fringes of the artpiece. This is not new, nearly every artist does it. That’s often why we can ID physical art centuries later, and it’s why you rarely ever stumble into a song file you can’t identify the artist of.
Nah, fuck that noise. Vigilante pedestrian infrastructure saves lives and costs the state nothing. Don’t wait for a bunch snobby beurocrats to tell you your neighborhood is unfit for support. Fill potholes. Fix sidewalks. Install stop signs where needed. Be the change, call out the lack of action and challenge these chicken shits to do better.
That is not what the article describes at all.
A city representative said officials reviewed the intersection after receiving concerns from Brandlin and determined it did not meet the requirements for a four-way stop but added pedestrian striping to improve safety.
Brandlin spent about $1,000 of his own money on commercial-grade materials, including 30-inch reflective stop signs matching the other ones on the street. He began installing them himself to replace the yellow posted crosswalk signs on the intersection in the early morning of March 14, according to the El Segundo Police Department.
Police arrested him around 1:30 a.m. while he worked on the second direction of traffic. Brandlin said the arrest was excessive, saying he was cited with multiple charges, including felonies.
Still would accumulate toilet aerosols over time, and would still be gross. The real solution is foot handles or no door
States have governors, towns have mayors, and in anarchist theory none of those heirarchal positions would exist. Usually, heirarchies are formed in order to complete projects and those heirarchies are supposed to disappear once the project is complete. Can’t really have a state without a legislative body dictating it.
‘Basically no one in charge’ is not exactly correct. Heirarchies are allowed to exist, but ideally should be as brief and flat as possible.
My best understanding of the end-goal is an intermeshing alliance of small democratic collectives working together to provide for one another. This type of system has existed previously, such as with the various tribes across the Americas which often traded and collaborated with one another. In contrast with previous times, there is vastly more understanding of how the world works now, and thus many more possible projects to strive towards.
There is also no expectation of some supposed utopia from this, as i understand - conflicts are still expected to flair up every now and again. The main aim is for equality and the absence of a single constant power structure which oppresses and dictates the conditions of all, but instead that there is a democratic collaberation defining the conditions for folks involved.
A term I’ve been using is ‘activation’. people who are in the early stages of activation attend protests - more often attendance is more activation. This eventually evolves into active participation in support networks, vigilante counteraction, or legal resistance like journalism and similar activities.
Protest attendance is the start of most individuals’ activation, and we can’t knock that starting place if we want greater numbers participating in the counteraction apparatus going forward.
I don’t think most games are outpacing inflation in terms of their value appreciation on the market. I could be wrong, but I think they’re still cheaper when taking inflation into account
A man is called a pedophile. Said man then shoots someone in his near visibility. He has not distracted you from him being a pedophile, he’s just now a pedophile and an active shooter.
We should care about both these issues. Trump is a pedophile and a close friend of epsein. He is also wasting human life for a distraction and should be shamed for that as well.
