  • Idk about that, maybe indefinite copyrights would be but limited term is entirely fair. Like imagine you spend 5 years and $50M to develop something (random numbers here), then the next day someone just copies it and sells it cheaper since they had no overhead in copying your product. There’s no incentive to create if all it does is put you in debt, so we do need copyrights if we want things. However Pokemon came out in 96, that’s 28 years. There’s been very little innovation in their games since. And seeing as Digimon wasn’t sued it’s not about the monsters, it’s about the balls. But those balls haven’t changed in almost three decades so I don’t think the really have a case to complain


  • This seems a bit oversimplified. Yes the homeless need a place, and that place should be built and funded. But at least in most of the places I’ve lived there are certain bus stops and parks that are not usable as they are full of homeless and addicts sleeping on all the benches and leaving needles all over (putting these together because this close to methodone clinics many homeless are addicts). It’s unsafe for children (or adults for that matter) to use the parks, nobody can sit at the bus stops and at some stops there’s such a crowd of homeless that people generally avoid them altogether. Would these measures from the picture help? No chance, because the anti homeless benches they’ve built are too small for the pregnant and too uncomfortable for injured and elderly so they’ve made it useless to everyone. I’m sure there’s a reasonable solution where everyone wins, and I’m sure I’ll never see it
