Guys, calm down. It’s just the trolley problem and she decided to pull the lever to save 2 people. If you disagree then you just have a different answer to the problem.
And that is why I pay for things I actually use. And suggest other people do as well. I pirate the stuff that is being removed or I know I can watch free with garbage ads or if I went to goodwill with a dollar but still pay for my music and YouTube. I’ll get a lot out of my hundred bucks I give them a year and my artists know I appreciate them.
People are really used to free. They forget even their servers have costs even. Piracy should be a hobby or used when you don’t have the means because of circumstances beyond your control. Bit an entire fuck everything personality.
Yeah I’m basically back to 2012 with public torrents and ripping from streaming websites I don’t trust very well. And downloading to an external hard drive that very well might die on me and ruin my day eventually.
But now I have a jellyfin server to watch it on, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
The people that think they are being clever by ignoring the entire conversation and just responding with Strawman! or Ha! You misspelled that so you don’t know what you are talking about! offer so little to actual conversation that they don’t even realize why no one wants to talk to them. They seem like they are just repeating what they saw people before them do without awareness or understanding of why or even what their words mean.
The internet is such a microbubbled place now. Each niche divided and divided again so that everyone can have exactly what they want and nothing more or less until each of them might as well be a homunculus living as a single entity if wasn’t for the ability for someone to advertise or sell a product to that group.
I thought it is good if everyone has their own specific thing but we still need to be able to interact as a whole, and that generalized communication is a dying skill apparently. Or maybe we are just to many steps away from the original products that the internet is becoming full of Cargo Cults that just copy without reason… I dunno.
Hey! It doesn’t matter if people say they are ok with it! White people are fixing the world by doing nothing but creating limitations to how we speak! Can’t you understand how that’s better?
Look at Latin-x and how it isn’t usable by anyone that actually speaks Spanish and was entirely conceived of by rich kids in universities in America! It’s just obviously better when we let others define our entire interactions with the world and immediately get upset to try to shame anyone not conforming to the point that shame isn’t even usable because no one feels it anymore.
Oh come on… Who wants to commit war crimes on a dreary day? Let’s get some sun in here so the IDF can really see the blood spray as they shoot civilians.
Yeah, still way to many people being contrarious just to help push a side they dont even believe in for the reason of… They think it’s annoying that other people care?
Truly a great use of time. /s
Truly, it might just be that they believe what they pretend to not and just want someone to confirm they are wrong because otherwise it’s such not a worthwhile position to hold unless we are all getting paid to think about it.
See now that just makes me think of a magical scam school that claims to teach levitation but just instead teaches people how to grab cutlery with mage hand so they can get Fork Lift Certification.
Yeah actually i think a steady flow of physical currency moving hands is a great thing. And with the large amount of cheap shops and vending machines they move cash around plenty.
But also i once bought groceries while waiting for a train in japan that involved selecting everything through an app paying ahead digitally and picking it up at a special location right outside the station.
Yeah like its literally the future we dream of complete with respect and re-use of goods that still work with a massive second hand market.
I can’t fucking believe they leaned into that… Like out of nowhere considering Kong island. And still haven’t brought it back up to do anything with it instead of immediately doing a journey to the center of the earth’s sun monster mash.
It can be about the compression. I know I had downloaded like 4 versions of Your Name because it has been re-encoded by several different groups and sometimes higher resolution with more compression was far worse to look at than lower resolution with good bit rate.
Some people have a magic touch and they just make incredible files and I so want their settings for handbrake when I rip my own media.
