It Was During French Class, At The End Of A Standardized Testing Day.  We Were Playing A game Of Chaud

It was during French class, at the end of a standardized testing day.  We were playing a game of chaud et froid, or hot and cold.  A student is looking for a rock.  There are twenty other students chanting décontracté (it means casual) while we are waiting for the first student to get the idea to go through a kid’s hair.

Or, what if, this and when something becomes public domain, no parts of it can be copyrighted again. For example (this is a hypothetical example) Barrie's Peter Pan is in Public Domain so anything from that, like Tinkerbell, would also stay public domain and not be copyrighted by Disney (I do not know if Tinkerbell is copyrighted by Disney but she/it probably is) but Disney's original spins on it would still be copyrighted (see the Disney Fairies Series or Pixie Hollow). and if this is how things work, cool! I have not researched copyright law because that is an entire thing

unpopular opinion but I think copyrights should automatically die when the author does

That implies that there is only one set/planet/group of aliens (which is highly improbable; do you know how large the universe is? as you’re basically saying that there are no aliens because of the scale of which you are speaking), that they all came at the same time (which is also highly improbable, for the same reason as before), or that all other (sentient) aliens have some form of hive mind that traverses across galaxies and light years, and that we were somehow left out of it (Earth, in the same way you’d complain to your mom: God/Universe!  They’re not including us in their hive mind!).  So some aliens might have visited Earth then, and others might visit after humans have gone extinct, but it’s unlikely that they all already came here

Maybe aliens came to Earth during dinosaur times, saw the big crazy dinos tearing shit apart and they noped the fuck out.

ok youtube just said “fuck you if youre deaf or hard of hearing or just want to watch a video in a different language”

image

https://twitter.com/LiamODellUK/status/1288869766980042752

and you know what the fucking bullshit is  they’re replacing it with a ~6 months free of a subscription to a third party captions provider~ which of course you’d have to pay for after those 6 months are up and you KNOW random youtuber #9039 isn’t going to bother to keep paying for that either because they won’t have the money or they just won’t care. and youtube’s going to act like that’s a perfectly fine alternative that won’t result in the majority of the site suddenly going from “more or less accessible” to “Fuck You If You’re Disabled” 

“citing low usage” are you fucking kidding me nearly every worthwhile video i watch uses community captions. sometimes they’re kind of janky cuz they were made by some 14 year old who thought it’d be funny to put their own irrelevant jokes and commentary in there but that wasn’t a reason to ditch the feature entirely when its so useful and important

i’m not even hard of hearing and i rely on them to watch videos in other languages…this is literally how people have been making english subs for japanese songs and the like for years and it was great because you didn’t have to reupload the videos yourself and take away views from the original creators. many creators don’t allow reprints of their work whatsoever so if they go through with this (which unfortunately they seem pretty deadset on because lololol moneyyyyyy) it’s entirely likely that there just won’t be a way to watch that content with captions

there’s a petition to keep community captions…i don’t know if it’ll really do anything since they’re already going ~oh but we have Paid Alternatives!~ but don’t just let this pass by this should be a huge deal but i’ve barely seen anyone talking about it (not that i expect people to talk about things of any particular importance on tumblr but it’s not even getting attention on twitter beyond that one thread and like 2 other posts)

so like. sign this and shit don’t let youtube just actively get rid of accessibility features without anyone caring (though i’d say probably use twitter if you want to actually get their attention i don’t think they’d look here) http://chng.it/LN9HRNmnkg
