explodicle,

Yarr we be murdering the media, just call it murder me matey.

explodicle,

I think of it as a step between a Google search and bothering actual people by asking for help.

explodicle,

Is the asshole the patron who wants better food, or the owner who decided on a local monopoly for lower quality and higher profits?

explodicle,

No, most candy bars are phallic symbols.

explodicle,

This sort of shit has been going on in the warez community for decades. It’s why I don’t pirate software anymore - even Empress has a strong incentive to sell out.

explodicle,

Face it Trevor, you’re a hipster.

explodicle,

If capitalism didn’t eliminate copying, then my movie downloading experience would be much easier.

explodicle,

Even going back to tribes would be better because capitalism is literally destroying the world. Socialism (not social democracy) would be better for 99% of people.

explodicle,

Same old capitalism, but with regulatory capture.

explodicle,

Apparently the owner of X.com agreed with you!

explodicle,

We’re doing our part! The fediverse needs good posts like yours to draw in new users.

explodicle,

I’ve met plenty of dudes who thought it was cute too.

explodicle,

It is one or the other because they’ll come out of the same budget - it’s an “opportunity cost”. So if the city has $1000 to spend on either a tree or a tank, then they can’t spend the same $1000 on both items. We’d need some balance between the two.

explodicle,

Who said it’s the source of every problem?

explodicle,

That’s implying that capitalism is the source of this problem, not every problem. Consider what they’re saying.

explodicle,

Oh they’re dead fish? I was hoping to restore threatened and endangered species.

explodicle,

In that case, I’ll recreate the works of Shakespeare.

explodicle,

That just means there’s a dude at a factory farm who would kill for you.

explodicle,

Assuming what I think you’re assuming, now I want to hear this story of pig assassination.

explodicle, (edited )

Libertarian, which ought to be understood as left anarchist.

explodicle,

Then actual incels are exceedingly rare!

explodicle,

The worst part about NoScript is gradually learning just how extreme the script situation has become. Today’s web won’t be archived nearly as well as Web 1.0 was. It’s only gotten more hostile to people with disabilities.

explodicle,

In our case, we were able to get a better rate from investing than the rate we’re getting charged on the car loan. It was “cheaper” to take the loan than to pay up front! This economy is nuts.

I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

explodicle,

Do you always rip it at max quality, indefinitely keep the physical copy, or repurchase it years later when you want higher quality?

explodicle,

Where can you forever-download these movies with no DRM?
