A month’s worth of rice would actually be a pretty smart choice for the money. Unfortunately that’s not how that pittance will be spent.

You may want to. You will eventually be interacting with them. Or your kids will.

If my child is on twitch, I can reasonably assume it’s for game streaming. If my child is on pornhub, I can assume they are watching pornography. I dont like having that line blurred.

Disagree. Hated Ash as a kid, was momentarily happy thinking we might get a new protagonist. Hopes dashed by magic pokemon tears.

While it does seem plausible. You don’t see what incentive the Israelis have to lie about it? Really?

You have to keep saying it because it’s not true. I’ve known artists who have seen their work stolen. Until then I never truly understood the hurt it causes them. I watched a normally jovial friend spiral into anger and depression. Sure, pirating some garbage Marvel movie isn’t going to impact much. But you take that same mindset and scale it down, and now you are hurting real people.

“The only thing that would be necessary for them to create things prolifically would be to ensure their ability to live …” We can already do this. It’s called paying them. Your entire argument is people would make things for free as long as they could get money. Do you realize how nonsensical that sounds?

It feels like every 3rd post for me. But it doesn’t really bother me.

edit Went ahead and scrolled past this post, counting how many Linux memes I saw. About 3 out of every 10.

The people supporting rfk are the same nutjobs who supported Stien and Johnson. Those are not conservative losses.

I mean, if there demands were not made of dreams and pixie dust, maybe I would get behind them. They literally have no plan beyond, “we want all oil to stop and the world to be perfect in eight years.”
