Then it would be easy for you to provide multiple studies, saying that billboards are distracting. Not just your opinion, but a lot of concrete evidence. We have had billboards for decades now. There's tonnes of data on where accidents

And then the likes of Donald comes in and decides, that anyone that didn't support his campaign isn't worthy to be listed in the government "dictionary"(it's directory). Yeah... I'll live with bad advertising,

I don't know where you are, but in NYC and in the area all billboards that I can remember are of local businesses. Just off the top of my mind the billboads that I remember seeing driving round Manhattan - RPM Raceway go-carts, HSS Hos

Franchised businesses, are still local businesses. They're not advertising a service far away, or a hotel on the other side of the planet.

Both exist as a thing explicitly because of the amount of ads. No one goes to Time Sq to have "authentic Italian" meal at Olive Garden. They aren't a proof of ads being too much noise. Not any more than a lion at a zoo is pro

If you don't want to see X, you just have to no look. Being offended by X, doesn't mean that you have an inherent right to ban X. X throughout the times were/are ads, black people, campaign billboards, crossdressing and Pride

> Billboards distract drivers and are a safety hazard. And you have any kind of conclusive evidence to this claim?

Times Sq is literally the extreme side of ads. It's literally what makes Times Sq - Time Square. Imagine if NYC banned all visual advertising? One of the most iconic sites of NYC would just disappear.

This has little to do with advertising. Consumer sentiment will be shaped by media other than advertising. You watching Instagram of people drinking alcohol and (seemingly) having fun will make you want to drink alcohol. Ads for a particula

Important things and delivery of features are two very different things. Rewriting a Linux kernel module is "important", but rarely impactful.

You can violate copyright by intentionally drawing Mickey Mouse, the medium of drawing is not relevant (AI can be considered a medium, as much as a digital camera is a medium)

I would imagine if we use a very strict interpretation of copyright, then things like satire or fan-fiction and fan-art would be in jeopardy. As well as learning, as a whole. Unless there is literally a substantial copy of some particular p

I'm sorry, but Saudis were the biggest losers in removing Saddam. Removal of Saddam removed one of the biggest adversaries of Iran. Now Iranian Revolutionary Guard can freely move from Tehran to Beirut and support the rebels in Yemen.
