I bet that felt great! And I bet that Sandy really appreciated your care and attention. She’s beautiful. Have a good summer, Sandy!

Known troll trolling again.

That is a great perspective. If it could prevent hijacking and original design ownership exclusivity that would be excellent. Good luck!

Yeah, I agree with your take. I can see why people are annoyed with the eggs and dragons cluttering the shops.

But that being said— Most of the models I’ve seen are ones you can pay the creator for a license to print and sell it for a profit. It’s pretty easy to find that kind of deal and the contract is explicit in their listing. So, the original designers will be losing business too since they bank off of making cute model files and collect passive income from people who want to print and sell the item.

Considering how much crap is on Etsy, maybe I’m missing something, but I am not sure why the crack down now—and on 3D prints of all things.

I actually think 3D printers at home will end up replacing a lot of things that used to be shipped from China. I’m already seeing the edges of this but time will tell if that trend keeps going that way. But I 3D print so, I notice functional things I can make all the time.

I think you make a good point—I wonder what site they’ll jump to?

They’re still allowing 3D printed items if the person selling is the origin of the model. At least that’s what I gathered from the article.

Agree! And to add for OP I’m sure the Fire Marshall would love to hear about how people can’t get in or out of the building. Fire Marshall is probably the fastest option for everyone’s safety.

Good for you OP for keeping your community safe !

Yeah same. Right? I feel like at least people on here bailed because we noticed manipulation like this.

Still—it’s nice to get confirmation. It’s still worthwhile.

Prince only goes up and wage only goes down.

I don’t think any single group is behind this—it’s just like a rumor that spreads in a Highschool. Not everything is black and white.

🔥🔥🔥

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you. They’re basically pirates. They’re pirates that wear suits.

We can’t forget that the USPS did operate in the “green.” Until Republicans in the 1990’s passed legislation that required post office workers a fat retirement pension. The pension program was specifically designed to run the “profitable” USPS into the “red.”

So, Republicans now 30 years later get to boohoo and cry about the inefficiency they manufactured to seize control of public assets to fill their own private suit pockets.

Sickening. Actually makes me physically ill thinking about this. I cannot wait for their comeuppance.

Kind of bad OPSEC if we know about it…right? Haha

Oh that’s really scary—thanks for sharing that information. That’s what I was looking for and you’ve been helpful. I wouldn’t be surprised if that shift was also encouraged by the Greatest Generation and the Guilded Generation finally truly dying off — they were more the staunch blue Catholics of stereotype.

Really? Some Catholics maybe—ones from Florida or Catholics with Hispanic or Cuban backgrounds. Catholics have certain reputations and stereotypes but they aren’t evangelical. Most Catholics aren’t like Alito or Amy Barret either.

Catholics historically were a blue voting bloc. All the Irish and Roman Catholics I know in the North East to New England are staunchly against Trump. They think evangelicals are odd and know Trump isn’t a holy man. Even the Catholics I know who practiced the rhythm method hate Trump’s guts.

Has this changed significantly?

What do you mean by “is both”? I’m not just American. You’re making a lot of assumptions.

I was kind of hoping this would be like something with substance. But ok. If you want me to change anyone’s mind Justin Timberlake isn’t the way. I don’t know why you’d work against yourself here.

Interesting. I mean, I’m sure Bernie has faults but I don’t really see the point in attacking someone who created and is holding the only tent pole for, frankly, a reasonable middle of the road candidate (if we view him in comparison to the rest of the sane world).

I get giving shit to Corey Booker. People are gray. I can list a handful of things that Corey has done lately that fit this meme.

I honestly don’t even know what this meme is referring to maybe I’m out of the loop.
But I agree with you, attacking Bernie isn’t the way. Reeks of agent provocateur.

My guess is it’s a fresh wave of propaganda to wedge the progressives. What’s new.

People don’t have to be perfect for us to join the cause and make it better. Don’t fall for it kids. We only get out of this if we ignore this bullshit and link arms.

Ps: and look, I get it if Bernie isn’t left enough for some of you. That’s ok to feel that way and it’s probably true for a good lot of you. But attacking him ain’t gonna solve the massive fuckstorm we are collectively going to go through. We either quit bullshit like this or die from factionalization. Like every other movement has in the past 95 years.

Find some other tree to bark up
