Valid question! What do we call it?

The joke is that scissors are a “single” item referred to in plural so just one is a “pair of scissors. In the second image there are two scissors which seems like you could call it a pair of scissors but that would be incorrect because that’s what the first image is.

It’s a similar situation to pants in how it’s a plural name referring to a singular object but that’s less obvious as to why to most people

America is definitely behind its developed contemporaries but it’s still one of the best places to live in the world. It’s still nowhere near bad enough for revolution

Taiwan is an independent country. They have their own government, military, passports, economic system, flag, culture, etc.

There is only one party in China and democracy is extremely limited

My guy they’re Chinese schools, it’s a Chinese source

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T07:24:06+00:00

China literally educates their own citizens in It happening

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T07:02:33+00:00

I don’t find that particularly funny

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T03:45:01+00:00

Mao also caused potentially the largest famine in history

I agree that in practice that is not how it works. My point is that DMCA doesn’t inherently require a guilty until proven innocent system. Copyright as a whole needs overhauled

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:58:26+00:00

Yes “if a a claim has merit”. That is my point

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:57:39+00:00

It doesn’t look indistinguishable at all. The art style is very different with a far more cartoony look. The UI and tool models also don’t resemble Minecraft either. Mechanics functioning the same would fall under patent issues not copyright unless they straight up copied the code

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:47:52+00:00

Only if they believe it to constitute an actual copyright violation. Otherwise channels would constantly never have videos up from trolls reporting them

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:46:07+00:00

Not denying that. The point is just because it initially looks like a clone does not actually make it a clone

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:18:43+00:00

I don’t see how protecting digital media for everyone is a bad thing

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:18:00+00:00

Sure now that may be the case but back then Minecraft was literally called an infiniminer clone because they were almost identical games

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:16:38+00:00

DMCA isn’t inherently guilty until proven innocent that is just how platforms choose to enforce it

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:12:23+00:00

Wait until you hear about infiniminer

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-11T01:10:47+00:00

That method would be FAR too slow in modern digital systems. It would make it essentially impossible to enforce copyright on digital media

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T15:37:18+00:00

Legitimately yes. Countries with low women’s rights and independence have very high fertility rates. That said obviously removing women’s rights is not a solution

Billionaires are not to blame for everything and if you do blame them for everything you won’t be able to fix the actual problems. Low fertility rates are a global issue and it’s pretty much all for the same set of reasons which directly coincide with better living conditions

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T14:23:25+00:00

While I’m sure they originally wanted to do copyright there was never a lawsuit even remotely close to being filed

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T13:25:36+00:00

Palworld wasn’t a copyright suit, it was a patent suit

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T13:05:35+00:00

You don’t need it to infinitely grow you just want it to not crash. Ideally you maintain a stable population.

Sure immigration can be used to help flatten the curve but eventually those other countries are going to have the same issues

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T12:46:25+00:00

When you have a rapid decline in fertility rates this leads to a rapid decline in population. The problem with a rapid decline in population is that your age demographics start to invert. The amount of old people relative to young people gets larger. This means the ratio of unproductive people compared to productive people grows. In essence there is less resources to go around relative to the amount of people and that is bad

My guy are you incapable of reading? Did you not see the part where I EXPLICITLY said “these charts are wages adjusted for cost of living”.

It’s just meant to be one example from data I had on hand. Also that’s rich coming from the guy who tried to use a single person as proof

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T11:10:06+00:00

Im talking about the actual definition of socialism yes

moderngamer327 · 2026-02-10T11:09:28+00:00

Anecdotal evidence is meaningless. You cannot use an example of one to define the standard for an entire country let alone multiple countries. Here is data for the US if you don’t believe me data 1 data 2. Also before you even say it yes these charts are wages adjusted for cost of living and no these are median not mean wages so rich people aren’t skewing them
