What is this in rebuttal to? I don't see any claim of being open source on https://grayjay.app/.

I asked myself this often. I think it's absentmindedness but I still find myself annoyed. Wear it or don't but halfway just gets to me.

spinal fluid as a base for perfumes

I can't find any evidence of that. Are you perhaps thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris made from stones in the whale digestive system?

The other benefit of having a proper emergency fund is being able to say no to your boss without any fear. It took me 10 years but I have enough accessible funds to go a year easily without any new income. The freedom at work is so nice. I've noticed that my confidence at not needing the job makes them take me way more seriously and offer all kinds of benefits they don't afford everyone.

Johnson & Johnson as well as Avon have paused investments and have very similar products. I have good skin with Dove but https://www.amazon.ca/Aveeno-Moisturizing-Colloidal-Oatmeal-Soap-Free/dp/B06VTWRWGJ worked great for me too. I wouldn't get it from Amazon though.

Such a well thought out and reasonable response. Thank you!

I generally do not agree with the law around intellectual property or even private property so we likely would not see eye to eye but I appreciate the chance to understand where you're coming from and what you believe.

Sure, permission needs to be sought for reprinting. That's not what we are discussing though. I will just take your word on that second part because as far as I know none of my professors asked author permission before telling the class to read anything.

The issue is artists should be able to opt out of having their work taken and fed into a big project they have no control over.

So in your opinion a should University have to ask each authors permission before using their work as a reference for each study run there one by one?
