Good on Discord. If these corporate cretins want pirates so bad, do the work themselves, not push others to do the dirty work.

It makes me wonder, just what are the rich old geezer and young rich hustlers going to do when the planet becomes uninhabitable due to this? Go to space? There’s no where to go and our technology is only good enough to get to the Moon and Mars. But there’s no where to really live that’s like Earth and the exoplanets we discovered, are beyond our reach.

So I am under the belief that these climate destroying rich people, just want to ruin things at the expense and survival of others.

It does. You aren’t looking. I always feel a sense that I am talking to people from other parts of the world. Moreso than anywhere’s else.

Dude, the fact that the student has to use AI tools to get by, does not mean he’s going to be a success story in life. It just means he’s going to find shortcuts and exploits to make things easier over everyone else that had to do things the natural way. This is no different than someone using calculators in math tests where it’s not allowed. This is no different than someone simply peeking over another’s work and copying down. Using AI generative tools to gain an advantage is in the same ballpark.

So these entitled parents and that entitled student can go get fucked. I hope these universities see this and recognize that this student is a borderline cheater and hopefully deny him anyways if this gets overturned.

I want to say Middle-East, but that’s not fair because it’s a cluster of countries. It’s hard to pick just one though, because a lot of countries in the Middle-East are batshit insane and allow extremism to dictate how they run the country. Extremism of any degree is just a bad thing to have around. It is technically, though scholars may disagree, the birthplace of Terrorism as we know it today.

Man, I’m still listening to an online show that hasn’t released anything new since 2012. But the episodes I’m listening to, since there’s different versions of the show based on different years of release. The episodes are now 20 years old and everytime listening to them back, it’s like opening a time capsule again.

It’s a very niche show called 2 Sense and it’s hosted by a couple furries. It’s a very acquired taste for sure and I won’t argue with anyone that some of it’s content have really aged like milk, but what there is to be found on there can be a bit entertaining.

It’s just a show I visit so frequently, it’s become white noise now because of how much I’ve listened to those episodes.

If you think this question is being asked too much, go and sit at AskReddit sometime. Count the many, many times you will see questions like ‘Why are you single?’ or "What would you do if someone gave you a million dollars?’ or similarly worded questions. They are posted by the hour, almost nonstop.

You get a question like mine like once in a few weeks or a month maybe. But you hadn’t seen anything until you check out AskReddit.

I think the Fediverse is the perfect platform for things like what you run. I also think at times how great the fediverse could be for those who’re mentally struggling. Just imagine, a decentralized platform where not only is it separated from the general network, but it’s an instance/server where people can feel safe and private. Also secure too.

You don’t get that feeling on Reddit. People are telling sensitive stories out there for all to see on Reddit and anywhere else. They’re unfortunately setting themselves up for the chance of anybody stumbling upon those tellings and could give them hell for it. Making them worse off than they already were.

You know, you actually hit the nail on the head in the context I had failed to articulate. Like yes the Fediverse does have some interesting communities, but they’re communities we expect of the fediverse to have that everyone else has. But, it does not have a dedicated Nostalgia community, it does not have AbruptChaos or anything else. Just the basics.

And I think if more people took on tasks like running the communities while educating people the benefits of the fediverse, then we can see a bit more growth. Because the point of the matter is if people are desperate for a Reddit alternative, they’re going to want to feel like they’re home. If there’s nothing here that’s going to help make them feel that, then they’re going to just stick to Reddit for better or worse.

We wouldn’t be buying shit food if all of the healthy food that’s been promoted as being healthy, weren’t so expensive.

Now before you start trying to sound smart, I am not talking about the vegetables, fruits and bagged series of rices available.
