FWIW, probably not a lot of devs willing to tarnish their reputation (well at least tarnish it THAT much) they pay (unlikely very well), and they probably figure people are going to do it anyway (on their own hardware, or on a competitor) so they might as well make money off of it while they can.

And they definitely use it themselves.

Ok so now I’m confused entirely. Does that mean leeching I don’t need to do a port forward, but seeding I do?

Which means if I want to leech to get the file then seed when I’m not heavily using my network I’m sort of out of luck?

And they don’t care what filthy shit you watch from home so long as they don’t have to see it

Idk why but the simplicity of it has me convinced and so far it works well.

That sink is a vampire, don’t let it in

And now I’m on a VPN because if they’re just gonna cut people off for accusing of piracy they’re gonna have to cut off everyone with a VPN.

TBH I should have been behind a VPN before

That’s… A fair point. That’s probably the best argument I’ve heard so far.

Even then, it will just slow research down and set us back. Scientists won’t stop sciencing, and it certainly won’t lead to discoveries they want.

The system they’re describing helps but the people are the ones that matter, not the institutions.

My point is no matter their approach, they will not be able to control the outcome of scientific research. The anti-intellectual fails to understand this. It’s the whole of their being.

That’s the weirdest part of trying to change the “system of science.” It’s not a system, it’s a process, it’s rigorous, controlled, and peer reviewed.

What Hitler enabled was psychopaths being allowed to practice torture and murder.

I wish I could just make the music I hear in my head.

Then that would require learning one of those fancy sample things with keyboards and knobs and sliders and buttons I can’t remember the name of.

Course it doesn’t help that I can write music and all the fancy DAS stuff is basically magic.

Then I wouldn’t have to spend money to listen to music that just doesn’t hit right

I have experience with this. There is nothing damaging about co-sleeping occasionally. The risk is either of you becoming dependent.

A 27 year old single mother, if I had to guess, doesn’t plan on staying single forever. At some point a significant other, once properly introduced, will be staying the night and your son should not be a part of that.

The other issue I see here is “it’s kind of nice not having to sleep alone every night.” This does not strike me as healthy, especially when he stops co-sleeping.

Ultimately, you are the adult, and you are the caretaker. I would highly recommend getting your son a regular therapist to guide you through this.

I do in fact want to “avoid it” for legal purposes.

Yes. I love it.

I believe I read that not only are micro plastics unavoidable, the amount entering the environment produced by any organization is an order of magnitude higher than anything we produce at home.

Especially anything that comes in plastic wrap.

Isn’t it fascinating.

Like the other day I learned just how easy it would be to make an AI “character” and sell “nudes” to men on only fans.

Like if all the people scalping the Switch 2 had any clue how much they could make doing that, I’d be able to buy a Switch 2. Then I could do it too to make money to buy the Switch 2 games.

But unlike scalpers, my empathy prevents me from telling people there’s sex in the VIP room.

And then I’m a single father, so I’m just fucked!

My ex wife’s cat is one that loves to weave between the legs, especially when you are moving fast. We call him “neckbreaker” this is why.

Yes. But the part that non-violence allows is that we can set it up to fight on our terms rather than theirs.

They want gun battles. Charging into enemy formations. Units vs units. They want to make themselves heros of battle. But they will do it only if they convince themselves they will always win.

That’s not how the modem organized military can be defeated. They will be defeated by guerilla tactics. Assassinations. Sabotage. Economics. The first thing that needs to happen is for the population to witness just how much they support each other.

The DNC may be useless, but as long as they keep MAGA thinking the opposition is weak, they will massively underestimate their own vulnerability.

Scrumlords I love it
