Skooch is a former LoL content creator. He's still pretty damn funny

Which is? All I'm saying is you sound pretentious trying to pretend your piracy is anything other than a means for you to save money. Nothing wrong with doing that, just don't pretend that at least some fraction does indeed get back to artists when you pay for a product because they do indeed get paid (who the fuck would support stolen art of course they're fucking paying for it) for their hard work, often far less than they deserve. Honestly there's a pretty good moral argument to be made for piracy that it's more worthwhile to deny a corporation it's profit while still enjoying the art, but it takes an acknowledgment that some degree of that revenue was going to feed back to the artist as some form of payment. The smaller that artists share is in the profits of their art, the more worthwhile the sacrifice of supporting them that way becomes.

Oh I forgot how many artists are working as slaves. Wait, they aren't, they're being paid, wonder where that money comes from?

Like fuckin hell dude, you can just admit you don't want to pay for something, but to stretch "artists don't earn a fair share" into "your support is meaningless" just because you'd rather not pay is a real bad take.

You never get full frontal of dudes because many of even the most sex-positive people hold a double standard against penises. Any time a penis might have to be on screen, it's vulgar to them and at most belongs in humor.

Or maybe they're trying to describe the feeling it evokes and aren't being that literal.

I swear Texas license plates are like warning signs for bad drivers

I'm from Arizona, I know this. I'm saying the mestizos who wouldn't get pissed at being referred to as such are far less in number than you think. Most ID far more with the colonizers than the colonized

Same with a burger. Your lettuce should be dry (pat it with a paper towel if you must) and put it as the bottom layer. This creates a moisture barrier that stops your bread/bun from turning into a soggy mess.

On a sandwich, the cheese should be on the other side for the same reason. Keep all the wet stuff from turning your bread into slop.

Thank you for the correction! I always seem to misremember which Caliphate was when.

If Elon Musk wanted to use his company to be a dipshit and fling his car into space, why not?

The EPA and other regulators could control them better, but whatever ventures they choose to make are their own dumb choices. The only ways their dumb PR project intersects with anything NASA related is theyre both doing space things and NASA happens to give them contracts (which is how they're able to afford to launch a car into space as a PR stunt).

 

I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as "we'll just handle it") plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
