Both points are true. Honestly, I pirate stuff wildly, but donate to the authors or buy their stuff and donate it to my local library if I like it enough.
But seriously, it is far easier being on the outside, pointing and casting blame, but for us old enough to remember all the people who were blackballed, run out of the business, and even murdered for exposing sexual abuse, it is hard to tell.
And on top of that, there are cases where a third party has exposed the abuse, to which both the victim and perpetrator deny the accusations, and it just ends up terribly for the whistleblower.
Yet, back to the point, we're on reddit lemmy, where nuance goes to die.
Allegedly, he was aware of Harvey Weinstein's abuse, at least according to Rose McGowan. And since a lot of people are reactionary as fuck, since she accused him of being aware, then they act and behave as if he was undoubtedly aware and complicit in it.
Matter of taste. With my last husband, we just placed both our salaries into a shared account, took all the expenses out of it, then split the remainder 50/50. Each one could do whatever they wanted with their half, and we even had a flex account for house expenses that weren't covered in the original expenses calculation, and it worked great.
Shrink wrap was the most accurate at the time, especially accounting for reptiles, which were the original inspiration for said technique.
And since most soft tissue doesn't fossilize, they were doing the best they could with the tools they had.
And while they were often wrong, I would like to see you try to guess what the animals looked like, based on skull alone, and compare your accuracy against the people you're calling lazy, probably from the comfort of your own toilet.
Sure, it feels kinda nice but then gestures broadly at everything, that momentary "nice" feeling isn't going to get me out of debt, isn't a guarantee that I won't be fired and replaced the moment I am too old or sick to work, isn't going to get me out of my current "On a diet for financial reasons" financial situation.
It is like trying to cure depression with a breath mint. Plus, the usual "Company reports growth and record profits but certainly cannot afford to give raises to you, bottom feeders, keep making profits for us who sit at the top and be thankful you even get a chance to do so", sure sucks all the joy out of everything.
Somebody is trying to make a meme out of every line of dialog of some movie for some reason, in order, and post them one a day. Pretty much all of it is shitpost quality if you ask me.
Dude, those compilation disks were amazing, and some even came with DVDs of their music videos. I remember how cringy After Forever videos were, and how enchanting Floor's voice and interpretation always was. I still listen to VOA frequently, and those albums really helped shape my taste in music.
If you want a fancy treat, give both Diablo Swing Orchestra and Igorrr a listening to, they are amazing.
Did you like, Just get unbanned or something? Coming back after two months to revive old threads, with accusations of people being biased.
Being raped is beyond horrible, clearly, no matter the gender relationship. Going to an anti-rape protest with a sign invalidating rape victims is fucked up too.
And, Where am I guilty of what you are doing? Where am I making excuses for rape apologists and sexists statements?
