TVs have a UHF switch so I can finally watch more channels. I really hate putting tinfoil on the rabbit ears and opening the window to sometimes get these new channels though, but they work better if I hold onto the antenna. It’s hard to see what I’m watching if I do this, but at least I can mostly hear what they’re saying, and the picture is dark anyway, so even if I could see at this angle, it would be too dark and snowy.

Disrespectfully I disagree

It’s alright for anyone to discuss and have opinions on anything.

It happens yes, but I stopped because I understood that insects / mold / organisms grow on fruit and vegetables, so I think of it as gross now, but it beat a hairbrush handle.

Taiwanese citizens are in fact Chinese citizens because Taiwan is part of China, the political reality is more complex than I think people realize, but China considers Taiwan to be part of China.

It’s hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that’s exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone’s honor by doing bad things to them and it’s not really a fault thing, it’s more about protecting honor and it’s preservation a virtue.

This is how honor killings work, it’s part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.

There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.

Does Japan even acknowledge what happened in Korea?

If you think the demand isn’t there, you’re out of touch. It’s certainly true that many consumers are choosing digital content, but it’s largely driven by it not having inconvenienced them so far too.

Everyone I’m seeing who lost the 3DS and Wii U stores, or lost access to all the games in their account, or even people who purchased media they can’t download and access again is realizing how big this problem is.

I mean, except it’s not a conspiracy. The death of physical media is an actual tragedy because digital media is nowhere near as free.

It’s to the point where much of the media I love is actually not available legally and officially for physical ownership, in some cases becoming actual lost media physically, and not available for purchase or even download anymore.

Companies absolutely want to control the consumption of media in more restrictive ways that they can control, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the actual truth.

DRM, always online, digital only, subscription services - they are all designed to remove you further and further from being an owner.

Everything from video games, music, movies…all entertainment media is moving in this direction and it’s an actual tragedy.

Do you know every law in your country / state / province? Honestly you’re going to be ignorant of some law, somewhere, especially laws you’ve never heard of or thought of as a concept.

This is part of what mens rea was supposed to address, but I guess everyone likes to prosecute for the sake of being punitive.

I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit

Actually technically covers require royalties, whether they’re on a CD, or performed at someplace seedy.

They’re not the time honored tradition you think they are.

The Jaguar lied with the truth, and I say this as someone who still owns one.

Lots of places have this, I wouldn’t be able to be a Canadian citizen because of it.

Same, both Digg leading to Reddit, and Reddit to Lemmy

Oh my apologies, I was skeptical about a space station that could go to Mars as that’s why I thought that meant by their wording.

Maybe they didn’t mean it like that

Yeah, but your claim is being and to go to Mars with the space station

Never heard this, interesting. I usually only hear it in places with low background noise, it kinda reminds me of the sound a CRT TV or something kinda like electricity, it’s not really like those things, but it’s the closest thing I can think of.

I can also hear myself blink if I have silence in a room.

I also actually do have a thyroid condition, but that could be pure coincidence.

I can hear the blood flowing in my head, including hearing my own pulse via the same sound.

Wait what?
