I'd argue memes that duplicate other peoples work are common but questionable on the ethical front.

Kind of like how alcohol consumption is common and got shoehorned in through our long history with it but newer drugs are more likely to have people question their cost to society (and demonise them usually for political gain, still many have some obvious costs).

If you're a small family store that makes an amazing recipe and people love it, and you keep that recipe a secret. You're honestly okay with a competitor stealing it? Not a competitor making a bad ripoff, but finding a way to get the recipe and using that to clone the meal for a profit.

Obviously with larger companies it's easier to say fuck them but investing time in something and then having it taken is a hit even if its "information", isn't it?

And remove any need to offer them security from China

I'm amazed at how many people found rogan authentic. Is it the same sort of podcasters playing off people's intuitions, like the fact checker used to?

I'm not very bilingual but I grew up with English and have spent a few months in Latin America.

I noticed that in English I now say Mexico the Spanish way when I'm with local people, but the English way when I'm visiting friends in the US. I always say it the Spanish way in Spanish, and don't think I use any regional accents.

I'd add "mania" to that list of terms that need defining. They seem to have a specific meaning that's probably misaligned with most people reading the question:

Does anyone have a good breakdown of this 1.5 trillion number?

Everything I saw while searching was pretty right wing and it would be nice to have an idea if some of it is pessimistic, or even to have some of the numbers explained rather than solely demonised.

That doesn't change the logic I gave

Why? Lemmy seems great

I honestly hadn't noticed this. I see it in ICE though

What if there is a popular joke that relies on bad math that happens to be your question. Then the alignment is understandable and no indication of accuracy. Why use a tool with known issues, and overhead like querying six, instead of using a decent tool like Wolfram alpha?

I think your maths is off. If every, or most, popular films in 2010 were remade, I think you would be even more irritated.
