  • TOS skirts.

  • It wasn’t intended to be sexual, necessarily.

    Part of women’s lib was freedom from restrictive decency laws.

    It makes sense when you see what bathing suits used to look like.

    And the fact that police would enforce bathing suit rules at public beaches

    Star Trek was released in the 60s when the bikini and the miniskirt were very popular and countercultural, so modest clothes would have seemed anachronistic (well, not futuristic).

    Imagine a space burqa.

  • Certainly the avatar must be more life-like.

  • Its illegal in the USA to advocate for the violent overthrow of the government, yet its legal to own and carry weapons that is meant to facilitate such acts of rebellion... 🤔

    Jump

  • The 2a is so that the government can press you (and the weapon you bought) into service.

    The clearest examples of this is when the government pressed citizens (and their weapons) into service to shoot tax protestors during Shay’s Rebellion and The Whiskey Rebellion.

    The government didn’t want a standing army hanging around thinking about coups and figured they could min-max their way around it with militias.

    The closest modern analog is The National Guard. A 2a written today with the original intent would allow The National Guard to keep a rifle at home. And there would be no standing army.

  • Researchers like Timothy Leary felt psychedelics could alter the fundamental personality structure or subjective value-system of an individual to great potential benefit. Beginning in 1961, he conducted experiments with prison inmates in an attempt to reduce recidivism with short, intense psychotherapy sessions. Participants were administered psilocybin during these sessions weeks apart with regular group therapy sessions in between.[24] Psychedelic therapy was also applied in a number of other specific patient populations including individuals with alcoholism, children with autism, and persons with terminal illness.[24]

    Studies on medicinal applications of psychedelics ceased entirely in the United States when the Controlled Substances Act was passed in 1970. LSD and many other psychedelics were placed into the most restrictive "Schedule I" category by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. Schedule I compounds are claimed to possess "a high potential for abuse and the potential to create severe psychological and/or physical dependence" and have "no currently accepted medical use",[28] effectively rendering them illegal to use in the United States for all purposes. Despite objections from the scientific community, authorized research into therapeutic applications of psychedelic drugs had been discontinued worldwide by the 1980s.

  • Strictly speaking, copyright applies to a particular expression of an idea — in this case, a recording of a performance. Copyright also applies to the arrangement — you can't (legally) sell copied sheet music.

    As a practical matter, artists seek permission to cover (hah) their bases and because the recording industry is functioning like a cartel. Don't cover our songs and we won't cover yours without permission.

    But we saw Taylor Swift cover her own songs. She didn't seek permission (or did and it wasn't given). She now owns the copyright to the covers, but not the originals. The owner of the originals is mad about it but she doesn't care about maintaining a good relationship with the owner.

    She might be on firmer legal ground since she wrote the songs and was the original recording artist, and will win in the court of public opinion, but labels hate that idea and will fight it anyway.

    But you see why artists are much more prone to cover others’ music during live shows. They have a stronger legal defense since it isn’t a recording and would ruffle fewer record label execs’ feathers.

  • Einstein didn’t invent relativity.

    He invented the photoelectric effect.

    ETA:

    The joke, for the three downvoters, is that most people assume Einstein got a Nobel prize for relativity since that’s what he’s most known for. But he actually got a Nobel prize for the photoelectric effect.

    And there is the substitution of invented for discovered. Because you discover natural phenomena, you don’t invent them.
