not just murder, but the murder of specifically their own loved ones, someone having a disney+ (or any) subscription is basically an announcement that they're a fucking psychopath, or otherwise have nobody they love.
this is why you pirate, so it's still illegal for them to literally murder your wife.
satire is fucking dead. NEVER consume media legally. not if you have anyone you care about in your life. I wish this was a fucking joke,
like, when I read 'farenheit 451' and 'free culture' I thought I knew how fucking horrible and dystopian corporate control of culture could be. I had some pretty grim images in my mind, and got really into having my own copies of things outside the bounds of the various laws. then this shit happened.
yeah there are apps I want on my phone, but if anything says 'there is an app' I'm instantly averse.
even the things I do want phone apps for, I have to browse on fdroid because default options are all terrible. basic shit like file browsers and media players in commercial OS's are just, like, vile and do not function. even if I didn't care about the endoscopes they try to snake up every orifice, they are deliberately nonfunctional.
its not that they don't understand words, it's that words aren't communication for them. it's just checksums. confirming group membership and synchronization. affirming their (percieved) position.
just using them as examples because we know their names and a bit of their character. they COULD abandon their shit, stop fucking people over, stop trying to have control, and just be on the shitty side of normal people, and nobody who didn't have to interact with their sleazy asses would fucking care.
except my argument is that they genuinely can't. not because we wouldn't let them, nto because it wouldn't work, but because their brains are broken and they are incapable of letting go, and the only future we will ever get must be taken from their cold dead hands.
I completely agree, but I also think we should be pursuing every avenue of possible solution simultaneously, some of which might be energy intensive. I have the feeling we are far more climate-fucked than is immediately apparent.
I said "good for everyone" not "popular". exterminating the brutes is usually popular. it's not good for anyone, long term.
the insane fascists who reject every policy that 60% or more of americans favor, like legal weed, single payer healthcare, doing SOMETHING about climate change, and making abortion legal in at least the case of a child rape or a pregnancy that would not result in live birth endangering a the pregnant person's life, who haven't won the popular vote once in my lifetime, are popular? you're so thoroughly wrong here it took me a minute to figure out where to even start taking this apart.
you think intent matters more than public opinion, but you conflate popularity with doing good? I don't understand how your conclusions follow your arguments, and your arguments seem to contradict each other. I'm genuinely having trouble understanding you, what you're saying, and how you came to the arguments and conclusions you did.
i feel a bit dizzy right now, so it could be me. can you try to explain another way?
the changes in windows since 7 are a master class in UX design, as long as you remember it's a negative.
