These artists wouldn’t mind working real jobs

In a way, I don’t see the point. Like, for example, what would my money do for someone like Metallica? Who’ve made millions for years doing what they do. I’ve pirated their music long ago and I don’t feel guilty because I know they’re a band who has signed contracts that were worth lots of money. Besides concerts, what would I be doing?

That’s pretty much where I would draw the line with these things. If bands and artists have signed with a label, majority of the time, you don’t need to do anything, they’re already making it, that’s what they wanted to do and they did it.

It is better to support those who hadn’t.

Because, you’d find this hard to believe, that there are people who want to enjoy a hobby without feeling like selling out. Like there are actual artists who even see signing a contract with a record label as selling out. Because that would mean selling their soul, which countless of artists and bands have done over the years if it mean success and reach. But look at where that got them, might’ve got them fame and money, but it doesn’t attract artists who don’t care.

These artists wouldn’t mind working real jobs while doing what they enjoy. And they don’t mind using services like this. Some artists in the past, even saw pirating as a way of getting out and being known by people, it’s happened before.

Even with legal alternatives like Spotify, the artists still get pennies while the CEO and Joe Rogan rake in millions.

I completely understood why Maynard James Keenan and Tool was hesitant for a while about putting up their discography on there.

The whole point of this lawsuit was to try and torpedo the Internet Archive. Would’ve been nice to know the explicit results from whatever settlement was reached. Was it for IA to just remove and ban the account that uploaded the works? I’ve no idea.

Either way, just the music labels making up numbers as usual to make the battle look unwinnable. Fucking pricks.

So, imagine your machine is one of those Dell Optiplex contraptions of the 2000s and even early 2010s.

Those machines sucked for the reason that, their components were tightly compacted, very little wiggle room to do anything in, upgrading anything was next to impossible because everything had to be low-profile to even fit into the case, everything was a dust/heat nightmare waiting to happen.

Just so many vulnerabilities in those machines are exactly what you could be facing if you go this route.

No, never was. I’m glad I’m not.

And to hit it home how unpopular I was, when I got my senior yearbook, I was in a particular section of the book where they seemingly put the undesired students in. Like, every senior got pages where they got nice pictures, they got a quote and some bio of them. Where I was at, there was none of that, just a couple pages of pictures of students they don’t care for, even though we all got the same piece of paper that asked us what we’d like to say. Didn’t matter.

Funny how none of the people who ran that yearbook staff, went on to do bigger and greater things. I haven’t heard of or read their names doing anything significant. Just goes to show people just have a lot of ego in schools.

Spotify is dogshit. The amount they limit you on a free account is abysmal and should be illegal. 6 skips a day, shuffle is ass, 2 - 4 ads per song, they lie about you having 30 minutes a break from ads because I experienced having 3 uninterrupted songs, then about 2 ads in between then a few more songs and that all doesn’t total to 30 minutes.

Why do people like this shit? They willingly pay Joe Rogan far more than he’s actually worth (he’s a glorified talking-head who appeals to a certain demographic) while kicking away numerous staff that bother try retaining this shit app. Crashes and drains your phone’s battery in minutes.

I wouldn’t say broken for months, it’s been broken.

Where I was going with that is if you’re going to bother investing in an argument you know is a waste of time with these kinds of people, it is kind of shameful. That is basing what you already know to be factual. Double-checking isn’t wrong either but again, doesn’t apply to people who’re not open-minded.

Uh, yeah? Just because I didn’t mention it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

“Awww, Comick is shutting down”

“OH BY THE WAY…!” This. lol

Gotta love piracy.

Yes. All it takes is squeezing the gun, aim and fire. Again, not hard to do. You’re not going to hit your target all the time unless you try focusing, but my point still stands.

It’s really a no brainer in how to use guns. The part that really determines how well they can use a gun is how fast they can reload like a trained marksman who spends considerable time at a shooting range. That and how well they can prevent some guns from jamming.

But taking one, knowing it is loaded and just shooting away, that’s a no brainer. Anyone can do it.

Demisexual. You’ve described it right out of the gate.

If ISPs decide to be liable, they know they’re going to seriously be hurting themselves in the long run. Because per every customer they cut who they assume and know is pirating, is lost profit. Say a customer is paying $100 for a premium plan, that’s a $100 loss right there. That can multiply the more they go on these witch hunts.

Maybe you need to regulate where you’re going better or you know, read between the lines.

Kirk was just a Republican think-tank, his existence was to spread and breed new forms of bigotry and infect new generations with his toxic ideology.

He honestly believed that Transgenders were the shooters that committed a lot of shootings over history. If ‘5’ was ‘a lot’ in his feeble brain, that demonstrates the lack of awareness he truly has about mass shootings to blanket blame a group of minorities.

Until a single transgender tops the mass shooter list of shootings in America, Kirk is an idiot.

Giving high end compliments Making you feel like you’re incredibly special to them Not being clear as to where you are with them Making you feel exclusive
