Just pirate it.
I mean, the Supreme Court just legalized copying. Millions of rare and one-of-a-kind books are being bodily destroyed just so they can be scanned in, which is pretty much the same thing.
If AI companies can steal content without repercussions, why not you?
Yes, but also those poor starving artists are gonna have even smaller desks to sleep under as people unplug from anime streaming services.
Exactly correct. Training material.
The response for losing ground shouldn't be just adjusting to it...
Be sure to use unlawful AI that acts on it's own and be surprised by results.
I for one have been training a neural network using pirated content for years. It's an in credibly efficient large language model that runs off very little power and fits comfortably in the space between my ears.
Here I am, wondering which anime it was. Probably Taimanin Asagi
Bet it was some ~~Lolicon~~ pedobait shit.
Ranma 1/2.
Totally Boku no pico
Uncensored, not for the faint of heart;
"I don't know which one of you sons of buttermilk passed this mother-flapjacking bill to get this dang snickerdoodle blocking my mother-flapjacking anime, but you whole entire fudgemuffins need to unpass this snickerdoodle. Y'all are frickle-fracking ridiculous with your buttermilk gravy-boats. My Google account says I'm frickle-fracking over the age of 18, and your dumb-bumpkin is passing these dumb-bumpkin laws. I'm a frickle-fracking stab every gosh-diddly one of you buttermilks. Unlock my frickle-fracking anime.

they sent a powet
More like for the feint of heart.
Please put that in a spoiler! My son read that and now he's sporting a mohawk and calling his mother and I the b word! We don't want him saying that kind of language except on special occasions like when God allows us to eat pancakes (Lent). Now I have to explain cookies to him. Thanks a lot, maybe think of the fucking children next time.
:faints:
needs more 'monkey fighting' and 'Monday to friday'

Those who would give up essential anime to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither anime nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin, probably.
Ben Franklin's Congressional Hentai Collection is a foundational part of US history
Ben Franklin of all people, would absolutely be down for that shit.
Wasn't a MILF enthusiast too?
Definitely based dude.
dude was a women-of-all-kinds enthusiast from what I can tell. published a recipe for abortion too. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/18/1099542962/abortion-ben-franklin-roe-wade-supreme-court-leak
The most requested part is his Night Shift Nurses set
Lincoln's Yuri Archives are still open to the public, and thank God and Sweet Baby Jesus for that.
Not to be seconded by the Founding Mothers' BL Library.

we need a copy of the actual recording
What's his Lemmy instance?
To those who didn't read TFA: he wasn't talking about anime like Boku no Hero Academia or Dragon Ball Z. He was talking about hentai.
The article confirms that Crunchyroll and a couple other anime streamers are available in Texas.
The guy was trying to access PornHub (or a site like it) to watch hentai, and that site simply blocks all Texans (and people from other countries and US states that have similar laws).
As for those asking if it's illegal: the US constitution does enshrine the freedom of speech, or rather, your government's inability to pass laws restricting said freedom. However, there are still exceptions. You still can't make threats to officials, or other things that can harm others.
FYI - it's because he specifically said that he was going to stab them. That's a very real threat and actionable, most people have access to knives.
Now saying you're going to cut their heads off with a guillotine? That's protected by free speech, and you'd 100% be able to argue that in court because I guarantee you don't have a guillotine or know how to build one (hopefully, maybe you do - in that case do not say this).
Who the hell doesn't know how to build a guillotine? It's a knife hanging from a rope with guides on the sides. If you wanted to make a nice artsy one, you could just have one guided side.
I should have said 'know how and have the means to do so'.
A guillotine also isn't something you can just take into a court room and start killing people with - it's not a weapon in the traditional sense.
Texas allows you to open carry a sword.
It's not about protecting people from harm, but sin.
It's not about protecting anyone, it's about surveillance and an ability to blackmail/threaten anyone who steps out of line.

Goddamn, the bleeps make that annoying to read. My best guess:
“I don’t know which one of you sons of bitches passed this motherfucking bill to get this damn shit blocking my motherfucking anime, but you whole ass motherfuckers need to unpass this shit. Y’all are fucking ridiculous with your bitch-asses. My Google account says I’m fucking over the age of 18, and your dumbass is passing these dumbass laws. I’m a fucking stab every goddamn one of you bitches. Unlock my fucking anime.”
Not sure that the first "s--"= shit, but, whatever.
Alternate translation:
I’m a fucking stab every goddamn one of you bakas.
Believe it!
"Man thinks threatening politicians is more effective than using a vpn"
Because using a VPN removes the burden of actually telling your representatives that they passed a shitty bill.
They know what they did and do not care
They'll care if they get stabbed!
