Meta, even if you aren't seeding it still counts, because if you had the books already you wouldn't need to grab them from elsewhere, and you refusing to seed makes you a fucking leech.
'We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.'
So where's the RIAA/MPAA/etc now that it's a Big Company doing this? They were the ones screaming murder about torrenting in years past. So go on. Go after these guys who are doing piracy on a literally industrial scale.
I'm going to disagree with you on the sentement. We need a better infrastructure for EVs, and non-tesla vehicles can use those charging stations (either via adaptor, or a few use that same plug type.)
oh that isn't to say I don't have digital, backed up in a few places. I simply recognize that legally speaking everyone is now outright saying 'you do not own this we are giving you a license to use it.'
yea no. I am going to ensure my things will go either to my niece, or to those I feel are deserving when i shuffle off this mortal coil.
This isn't nostalgia. This is 'Unless i own the physical thing, they can take it away because with digital you never really own it you only have a license to use it.'
Considering how Reddit for the past few years has refused to play nice with Firefox to the point it eats posts and comments?
Lemmy immediately effectivly confirming a thing went through feels nice.
Don't worry. In the US the current administration/regime is trying to remove all that. the CDC is already communications dark and the US has withdrawn from WHO.
My stepdad has started using 'and you believe we landed on the moon' and yet won't actually state he doens't. Instead 'oh well you strongly care about thing and i'm just-'
FBI and CIA are both busy gong through their own version of Squid Games thanks to the current regime wanting to get rid of anyone who's investigated them in the past.
Propaganda of the Deed has long been discredited. As in no, the stereotypical bomb throwing anarchist that mass media wishes to sell DOES. NOT. WORK. At best you end up with the political figure merely replaced and business moves on with the attacker vilified, or at worst the now deceased has become a martyr and support is generated.
As that is trying to force a systemic change through one giant act on a population that won't know what to do with the opening.
It is far better to work within local communities to educate and help build support networks of aid and reliance on eachother rather than systems that can punitively be taken away. That way if an opening presents itself through the course of events, you have a population that will know roughly how to make the best of a situation.
WITH ALL THAT SAID....
The death of the united Healthcare CEO is interesting inthat all attempts at media whitewashing and lionization have fallen on deaf ears.
Wait what? Big trouble in little china got- Pardon I'm gonna need to process that for a moment as that's one of the few things me and my stepdad will call time out on arguments on. It's a great carpenter adventure movie. It's literally a sendup of the modenr john wayne archatype. Hell, jack isn't even stupid, he's just, to borrow a tv tropes term, wrong genre savvy. Also I recommend the boom comics when/if you can.
it contextualizes him refusing to kiss Grace Law at the end and... it is utter heartache in the best way.
Dredd ... needed a netflix mega city one police proceedural followup. with Urban's Dread showing up a couple times when thigns get above everyone's heads both to prevent his overuse and to remind everyone WHY he is feared.
I'm gonna admit i saw the Dune novels as overrated, but i liked that the 80's movie tried to have fun while telling the story.
Well at the point red dawn was made, we were starting to thaw on the russians, even as Regan kept juicing the Empire of Evil rhetoric. The message 'war destroys everyone' is a good one.
Same boat man. 'OK I'll throw a few schmeckles in because the author does need the compensation, but i'm getting the actual book elsewhere.'
