Propaganda works.
The put out a lot of propaganda saying that copying files is stealing. They point to intellectual property rights laws as if that means intellectual property is justified because of the existence of laws.
I think about what my character would be on the character creation screen if I was given a free respawn.
If that doesn't work, I think about cutting my hair, bagging everything feminine in the house, throwing it away, etc. That idea usually has me in tears. (Is that a clue I'm not cis?)
Also trying to remember how depressing it is to go back to presenting as male.
I have a question on whether I'd be able to continue following the One Meal A Day diet strategy while taking Estrogen. Is there any medical reason why I shouldn't? Does estrogen work better with a meal? How about if Estrogen is injected/patch/gel?
I'd like to loose weight and OMAD is basically the only strategy where I have ever seen any weight loss.
If you and your friends can argue that you have a prayer meeting spot for the spaghetti monster.
It's like a cheat code to get a judge to actually listen to how Christians are discriminating against your religion.
Kim Dotcom avoided arrest in August after he filed for a judicial review contesting extradition. A minor controversy among many right now.
In August, New Zealand's Justice Minister authorized Kim Dotcom's immediate arrest and extradition. Dotcom's response to his followers on X was simple: "I'm not leaving." Another post mid-September - "we are very close to disaster" - led to Dotcom disappearing for three weeks. On his return, Dotcom said X had suspended his account, based on an extremely serious allegation. After accusing Elon Musk of failing to help, yesterday Dotcom warned that a Trump loss would see Musk indicted and "fighting for his life." Dotcom has a plan to avoid extradition; chaos like this provides the fuel.
Family Member: Russia needs to invade Ukraine because they need a shield against NATO.
Me: But NATO wasn't going to attack them. It's a defensive organization.
That's what THEY want you to believe. (Was not able to clarify who "they" were during conversation, but got the impression it wasn't nato)
If you're in the United States, the current situation decided by the judges is that Atheists have to argue as if they're a religion as well.
A lot of work will be needed to fix this error.
Two options:
Stop believing in him. Per American Gods logic, gods are immortal until the very last human who knows their name dies. Anthony Hopkins Odin is going to live for a very long time.
Or
We need to quintuple scientific research until we can research the end of the known universe and pierce the dimensional barrier into the undying realms and bring our black hole cannons to bear on his kingdom. For selfish reasons I choose this option.
No, they aren’t growing. The psychopaths who invested large swaths of their lives in hypocrisy are realizing that they are the minority. They don’t even attend church, which has been dying for decades in the US.
For a glorious moment (debatable), Trump made them feel like they weren't alone with their shit thoughts anymore. And if the election in the United States isn't a landslide against their stupidity then it will never click that they're the minority.
You shouldn't be wasting neuron power on something that didn't happen.
Defends is a strong word. The meat of the article:
A spokesperson for Walters’s office told The Hill that “it would be inappropriate to comment while bids are being placed” for who will supply the bibles for Oklahoma classrooms.
“We are excited to bring back the Bible in its essential historical and literary context to Oklahoma classrooms. Superintendent Walters has committed the agency to an open and transparent RFP process, consistent with the norms for state procurement, that will be adequate to meet the needs of Oklahoma classrooms. There are hundreds of Bible publishers and we expect a robust competition for this proposal,” the spokesperson said.
Lets call most of our population criminals and have them sit next to each other in jail sharing file sharing techniques.
But being realistic, it depends on how far into the future the political party would like to keep winning votes.
I too would like Jewish Trump to have to explain himself to a prosecutor.
Data collection for how far they can push humans. My money is people will pray to lottery Jesus while being grateful for their corpse starch, and being apathetic that grandma is being recycled because she missed too many days of work.
Let the person decide when they're an adult. Perpetually washing their wang uncircumcised, or needing to wash their wang less - circumcised, but washing it anyways cause hygeine.
Even simpler than that. Contracts will constrained at having a year of leeway, unless two systems can agree to a version of the best guess of the Gregorian.
Meanwhile the emperor controls the spacers/spice and the date is whatever he wants it to be.
This wins my vote for best meme today.
But what would the Jesus do?
They should struggle to exist.
Example: Scandal as taxpayer hits a billion in wealth. Prime Minister will lead an inquiry into how a single person was able to monopolize so many resources.
If the whole world was a village Mr. Billionaire would be lynched by now for obviously having all the village resources.
Or if your access would be bullshit constrained.
Endocrinologists fuck up hormone dosages on a regular enough basis that transfems will buy the estrogen powder, convert to injectable solution, and do it themselves.
Ideas/art/concepts/recipes/books are just waiting around to be discovered. We as a species discover them or develop them from our shared culture. And a bunch of rich fucks think they should get perpetual rights because they own all the content mills/researchers, regardless of how much the rest of the species would benefit.
You wouldn’t pirate a medicine, would you?
You wouldnt' pirate a human thought would you? The basis of this entire sub, that one pile of neurons deserves for life the rights to a computation.
Two years after SmoothStreams was shut down, two defendants are paying an extraordinarily heavy price and the main case hasn't even started.
> After obtaining an injunction and an invasive search and seizure order at Canada's Federal Court, teams from Bell, Rogers, Disney, Paramount, Columbia, and Warner Bros. targeted the alleged operators of IPTV service SmoothStreams at their homes in Canada. The defendants were charged with contempt of court when they failed to comply with the terms of the order. Two years later, the defendants are paying a heavy price and the main case hasn't even started.
