Trademark inherently can’t be generic. It has to refer to something distinct.

For example, apples have nothing to do with computers, so the name makes you think of the exact brand Apple computers. But if you tried to trademark your apple company Apple, that would be taking away the ability of competitors to describe the product they’re selling. Which is not ok.

So, when your brand name becomes the common word to describe a product, you have to stop your competitors from using your name to advertise their products in the first place. Otherwise, your brand name doesn’t just refer to your products, so it’s not distinct. You’ve become Apple apples.

Of all the subreddits, Wallstreetbets is a real weird one to want to keep the exact same. I really don’t believe most people want to deal with, let alone prefer, the culture of that group.

That doesn’t change anything. If the child is born, it’s yours, and you can’t abandon it. The child has a right to a parent, and you are the parent.

The White Lotus. Great vacation show. Short, funny, watched it on vacation, helped the vibe was a good time.

That’s not equal. Women can’t abandon the baby after it’s born either. It takes two to make a baby. Men have the final say over their own bodies just as women do.

why post it in the one that explicitly bans behavior like this tho

Medjool date and a coffee. Perfect dessert.

Some people respond to correction by lashing out. That’s true for literally everything. Telling them you can’t smoke there, not washing their hands is gross, you need to take off your shoes in my house, etc.

What a nightmare.

They could literally impeach him tomorrow. This is not a one man show. It is a choice. They’re choosing to make themselves richer and make you poorer, to make themselves more powerful and to make you more vulnerable. Not just Trump.

There isn’t a “science”. There are a ton of individual projects. Some of them are good investments and some of them are bad investments. Ultimately it’s not our money to decide how it’s spent, and if we want something that isn’t currently being studied to be studied, we have to add it on. Really, considering how little % of the economy we need to spend on acquiring what we need to survive, it makes sense to invest our economy into intellectual pursuits.

Personally I’d just comply. They’re thugs, not law enforcement. They’ll hurt you and there will be no recourse available. If they’re there for someone else, I’d probably comfort that person and ask if there’s someone they’d like me to call.

and only conservatives are surprised.

To an extent my brain already does that. The most I’ve done is join a protest that marches a few streets and back. Like, I’m not picking up my life and dedicating to helping those people. I’m just mildly upset and concerned while still trying to accumulate wealth and skills to improve my employment.

He’s a beautiful goat. ❤️ first impression is that all 3 of my new professors this semester are great. I thought I would miss class this morning because of the dentist appointment, but my dentist did not think I needed a crown. Just a quick filling, I was out and walked into class right on the dot. And the smoothie place would not take my order for some reason, so all I had for lunch was a latte. I’m very excited to go home and eat soup.

by focusing on the crimes he was accused of

You mean the crimes where everyone walked away alive??? Seriously, with no other explanation, I have to assume the cop murdered this person because they were too lazy to tackle him. There’s zero other reason to shoot.

That is a good youth unemployment rate.

usually if I left keys/phone/wallet in my pants pocket on the floor, that’ll work.

but most of the time, it’s somewhere random that I would never think of.

I am low contact, but she is way too mentally ill to have positive relationships with people. I sympathize that she can’t control it, but it’s kind of like asking me to put my hand on a stove to please someone else. I truly gain nothing but unpleasant feelings from being around her. I feel nothing but aversion to the thought of being around her. Even as a child I avoided her.

almost never.
