Music piracy is just so much harder than streaming.

This made me audibly sigh. They won't put it like this but this genuinely the future some people want.

I wouldn't boil down TST or COS to edgy atheists. I think a lot of people were deeply hurt by religion and the TST spends a of time trying make sure that local governments follow the first amendment. The COS isn't really theistic but they are absolutely a religion that does more than just be edgy.

The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.

lemm.ee blocks very few instances if you want true wild west.

unfortuatly the healthy way to deal with a situation like that is to remove yourself from it which children are not allowed to do.

I agree. Try arguing that to a conservative judge in the south and you will simply be sent home with your abusive parent, who is likely enraged about having to defend themselves from the "law".

I think you underestimate the sheer number of homophobic parents that aren't necessarily abusive but would be if their kid ever came out. There are a lot of people I've talked to that their online escape was the one thing that kept from killing themselves.

I'm not saying that it's healthy but there are a lot of kids in a situation that they can not escape from because of the way that society treats children. Children are treated as something that is closer to property than an individual when it comes to things like law enforcement and emotional abuse.

There are people at my work place that I thought that I got along with and then all of a sudden they come out with the most bigoted things that I have ever heard. I straight up do not trust any man my age at this point there are just too many of them that are "hiding their powerlevel"

I assume the best intentions of people that haven't repeatedly proven that they do not have the best of intentions. Telsa has repeatedly shown that they are willing to break the law to accomplish something they want and this isn't a huge step farther all things considered.

Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system.

Nah fuck hanlons razor. Evil people can be stupid but they are still evil. If the incompetence reaches this point it is also malice.
