It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

bionicjoey,

I believe their copyright claim system is set up so that any ad revenue for a song goes to the copyright holder, and they can have the video taken down if that isn’t enough. It’s why YouTubers are so careful not to use too much of a copyrighted song in their videos.

Tbf Walt Disney himself invented the sound of a dick slapping an ankle

bionicjoey,

How exactly does a jury trial work in a case like this? Aren’t juries supposed to be “peers” of the accused? How can a corporation be tried by a jury of its peers?

bionicjoey,

Okay but just the existence of APKs and sideloading means options exist. That doesn’t make a monopoly in my mind

bionicjoey,

I forget which season it’s in, but LD has one of my favourite tidbits of worldbuilding in all of ST. In the episode where they are goofing on the TOS movies, there is a scene where Kayshon busts through a door and shouts “Temba!” before shooting a bad guy. Thereby establishing that the Tamarian “Temba, his arms wide” not only means “take this” in the sense of sharing/offering something to someone, but also means “Take this!” in the sense of an exclamation when attacking someone.

bionicjoey,

One of my favourite lines in all of DS9 is when Rom and Quark are arguing about where they’ve crash landed.

Quark says something like, “maybe we’ve died and gone to [ferengi heaven]”.

Rom then says “or maybe we’ve gone to [Ferengi Hell]?”

Quark responds (and Armin absolutely crushed this line IMO): “The bar was turning a profit!”

It’s a time loop story like Groundhog Day

Oh God, not the stairs!

bionicjoey,

the civilizations that currently exist that don’t have that connection

Like which?

bionicjoey,

I mean my answer was half-joking, so I guess you get a half-woosh (woc). Like yes, I do sometimes do what I said above, but everyone watching these videos understands that they serve 2 purposes

bionicjoey,

This is one of the features in chrome that I wish Firefox would implement.

bionicjoey,

Pretty good discussion in my old post here: lemmy.ca/post/5380703

bionicjoey,

Makes sense considering we know from Darmok that the universal translator doesn’t translate proper names.

bionicjoey,

I love the sheer number of TFS comics that are just “what if people, but animals?”

bionicjoey,

So what you’re saying is… Bears are powered by AI.

bionicjoey,

That explains some things I’ve seen it generate.

Worf: “I forgor 💀”

Worf: “Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.”

bionicjoey,

To give a more serious answer, Bajorans seem very theocratic and I think most of them would fundamentally disagree with the concept of a secular government.

Bajor exists in a weird gray area since their religion is in some ways literally real. In some ways the Bajorans are like the Vorta and the Jem’Hadar. Their “gods” are provably real, they interact with them regularly, and they have demonstrated to them that they have what seem to be supernatural powers.

Also, critically for the Bajorans, not only are their gods real, but their demons (Pa Wraiths) are real as well. And that opens up a whole other philosophical can of worms. In a way it reminds me of Warhammer 40k. In that universe, religion isn’t irrational. In fact it’s completely rational. Because Chaos is real, and it will fuck you up if you aren’t religious.

bionicjoey,

This would be hilarious as a bumper sticker even to this day
