I want to second the other commenter and also tell you directly that I love your posts and comments too. It’s always a good day when I see PugJesus

It used to be consistent for years post-9/11. Rules were enforced more or less consistently. Especially the liquids rules. Some variations but not to the degree that it is at today. This chaos is only the past few years.

Strongly suspect it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with the system breaking down due to abysmal leadership.

Also probably the paid extortion programs like CLEAR which have separate relaxed rules standards for people who pay the extortion fee.

Or jd Vance will give the pardon after they burry Trump… CONSPIRACY

Losing Gawker was a big turning point for the public not having a consistent satirical biting rag news site. Looking back, losing gawker probably contributed to the enshitification of Reddit too with the influx of Gawker commenters. We may never have been able to avoid the current reality but if Gawker was around still it would have certainly been different.

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.

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 to change anyone’s mind Justin Timberlake isn’t the way. I don’t know why you’d work against yourself here.
