Yeah, I suppose I should clarify - that was in response to the objection to paying for pirated content; it’s different from the service provider’s point of view, but from the end user’s point of view, they’re paying for pirated content either way.
Can’t see it on desktop web.
This doesn’t seem that different from paying for usenet. It’s not like they’re making DVDs of pirated movies and selling them on the street corner; they were basically just aggregating content and the service they were providing was making it easily searchable and accessible, not doing the actual pirating, from the sound of it, unless I’m misunderstanding the situation.
I’d consider one, but it’d have to pay considerably more. Like, 50% or more above what I’d otherwise expect for a fully remote position, and it would have to be an easy commute.
In most cases it’s adding 20-30% to the length of the work day when the commute is included, plus costs of transportation itself. Plus the general inconvenience and the fact that it’s almost always going to mean a more toxic culture. But if the pay and benefits were absolutely fantastic, I’d consider it, at least short-term.
I wish I could show my country next to my username or something lol.
You could use a vanity username with a flag emoji in it, if you really wanted to.
Yes, I, too, feel very real emotions like a desire to run water over my human skin. I definitely do not require microcontrollers to instruct me on when it is time to do so! Just like all completely normal humans. Of which I am one.
The canopic jars are actually early battery designs. They were much more efficient than any batteries we have today - they produced almost unlimited energy and were very cheap and easy to make (just look at how many there are), but the government (which is secretly run by lizard people by the way, do your own research and educate yourself) covered it up and created the BURIAL CHAMBER MYTH to keep us reliant on fossil fuels.
I’m going to just zero in on one tiny aspect of your position, but…
I would like to take this moment to tell you how stupid anyone is that intends to create change with the destruction of life that is not their own.
You acknowledge that causing loss of life is not justified and…
I’m sorry for your death during a cardiac episode stuck in traffic.
You acknowledge that protests blocking streets or bridges can lead to loss of life, so how do you reconcile those two viewpoints?
Look, I’m mostly with you. Shut down places of business, shut down campuses, whatever you need to do. But if someone’s protest is shutting down a busy street and someone dies because of it, I believe that’s at least involuntary manslaughter.
What it actually does in my case is make me forget about the game before it comes to PC, and just not buy or play it. I might be excited about a game now while the hype is fresh but in 6 months, I’ll be excited about other stuff. If anything, I’ll buy it when it’s 75% off on some Steam sale.
If $70 got you the full game, I wouldn’t even be as opposed to it, but it’s always $70 for the standard edition and oh, also, there’s $200+ worth of DLC and microtransactions to buy, as well. Back in the 90s, you got everything for that price.
They claimed that the FTC never alerted them to any wrongdoing before filing the lawsuit, so how could they have known they were violating the law?
“The police never informed me I was doing anything illegal before arresting me, so how could I possibly have known?”
Ignorance of the law isn’t a defense against breaking it in any other sector…
Assuming you’re making the change in your browser’s default search settings, and not editing the URL every time you do a search, it takes a minute or two once, and it’s done forever. No harder than adding an adblock rule and it also removes a lot of other bullshit, too (since it’s just defaulting you to a ‘web only’ search).
While this is a nice thought in theory, it breaks down as soon as you start actually thinking of it in practical terms.
I’m all for phasing out cars in areas where it’s reasonable to do so, but your proposal just isn’t compatible with reality.
Do you not? I really don’t know, I don’t use texts much and we’ve had unlimited texts for like, 15+ years. I always see ‘normal carrier fees apply’ on OTP notifications, so I just assumed they counted against limited plans.
It was easier before every random website wanted to send you a text with an OTP just to log in and order a pizza or whatever.
That said, if it was $10 / mo for unlimited, or $0.02 per text, I’d take the per-text charge. I don’t use texts much and I’d probably save $8 / mo or more.
This sounds awesome. I enjoyed TW:WH quite a bit; their model works very well for non-historically-accurate settings, and I’d love to see them do more of these.
His family feared he had been among an estimated 200,000 killed, or as many as 20,000 kidnapped, during the unrest.
It seems they were correct…
That’s not what I asked you, though.
Having to be OK with them going into our bathrooms, not knowing if they could be a predator or not
Let me ask you something. You just outlined how much time, money and effort someone has to put into trying to transition. Hormone pills (and all of the problems that come with that), a change of wardrobe, a change in how they’re asking people to view and refer to them… Dealing with people like you, who look down on them for trying it… Hate from far right groups, persecution from some governments… General social stigma…
Do you really think someone is going to go through all of that, and more that you haven’t even covered here, just so they can walk into a women’s room to… do whatever it is you’re afraid they’re doing? Really? I think the chances are better that any random woman you run into in the bathroom is a predator, honestly.
I can’t help but feel that Dwight would be a much better friend to have than Jim.
