  • Meh he can consent, s'all good.

  • They're are a million wrong ways to come at the wrong conclusion. So why then would we be surprised when many of the people who come to the right conclusion still do it for a variety of reasons? Perhaps the initial premise of why copyright should exist is conceptually riddled with holes.

    Owning an idea is inherently capitalist, but the average person who encounters a problem won't spontaneously become anti-capitalist. They just know something seems wrong about this, but don't understand why. So they make up a story to address their cognitive dissonance, like nihilism.

  • Can't delete things from the internet either way chief

  • Don't you still see their posts on other threads?

  • You should make a fork with a block that works!

  • That's just asking for a treasure trove of links to theory

  • My frat house was like this and we all just got used to it. Brotherhood!

    This is an extremely American perspective, but I don't care if people see me shitting as long as they don't touch me while I'm doing it.

  • Gotta keep a plastic bag by the toilet, just in case.

  • I saw a therapist as a child. It was super helpful; that's when I got my ADHD diagnosis.

  • Then we'll have to support it on a federal level too.

  • A democracy needs many things to work properly, and they're all broken. Now that cryptocurrency exists, every politician needs to be regularly audited. With First Past the Post, we're pressured into voting for people known to accept bribes. With gerrymandering, Republicans draw lines around the 26% support they actually need. Even the elections themselves need to be end-to-end auditabile.

  • It looks like they're trying to capture "the center" - which side will be spoiled more?

  • This unraveling has been going on a lot longer than just six months. It's been accelerating hard since the Patriot Act after 9/11. And even before that, Republicans had been lying about their support of free markets for generations.

  • Germany learned how to genocide from America. The USA is still structurally the same as it was during its first genocide and during Japanese-American concentration camps.
