Yep. And I’d argue it’s an almost ethical responsibility for those aware of all this to preserve a media archive via piracy. Sort of like those monks that would repeatedly copy old scrolls before they would degrade or whatever.

And it was always clearly stated as such. It’s absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.

Had you accidentally turned on ‘avoid highways’ by chance? Because the one time that happened to me it was.

I take a 2min pause of silence over 30 seconds of ads any day.

Thanks, I was finally able to make my colourblind brain see it.

Is this one of those things that colourblind people see right through? Because I just see a lady sitting in her vehicle with legs a similar colour to the seat. What am I missing here?

Ripping up an image never makes anyone a bad person, religious figure or not.

Sure, I may prefer the tearing sound that images of Mohammed being ripped apart make… But that’s just subjective personal preference. Doesn’t mean people tearing up an image of the Virgin Mary are bad people. The important thing is neither does anything real to cause harm to anyone at all.

The same way we assure people consenting to anything at all are not being forced to. We try our best basically. And sometimes we’ll probably get it wrong and need to improve. I’m completely ok with that when the alternative is guaranteed preventable suffering. Just like I’m ok with people using power of attorney to protect the finances of people with dementia, even if sometimes it gets misapplied.

I’m confident you strongly support allowing it as I have never met someone who witnessed a loved one suffer like that and does not support lessening their suffering.

So since you support allowing people to end their own lives in that context, you understand that people can indeed consent to death. So perhaps consenting to death should be permitted in other contexts too. That’s the only point I was making.

you can sign a contract to allow me to bludgeon you to death, but it’s still murder regardless of your consent

I agree this is the current law. But I certainly don’t agree with this law. Do you?

I feel people should absolutely be allowed to consent to death, or potential death. And I mean, we already can in various other contexts like skiing in avalanche terrain, ordering too many big macs, or medically assisted suicide to prevent suffering from incurable conditions (at least in a few civilized places).

Or maybe don’t work at such a place? Don’t agree to an unfair deal. Quit. Force the employer to change.

Yeah, but my sweet old grandma made it well into her 90s, so I’ll stick to there not being a god. The biblical god would have smitted her down long ago.

That’s cool. But the idea of a due date on digital media is also completely absurd, just give me the file. The entire point of libraries is to freely share information after all.

I can say I didn’t try. Because I don’t try.

It’s definitely poking fun at the fact that people who vape are younger on average than those who smoke cigs, not supposing literally only teens vape.

Sort of like how lots of old people also use venmo, but it’s particularly popular among the young.

Lol what do you mean by 3 kids ‘came at me’? Because kicking someone in the nuts for walking towards you sort of seems like provoking a fight.

Where did I say anything about supporting genocide? You’re the one telling me to die lol. I don’t support any form of genocide and at no point in this thread, or any thread, did I say anything to even slightly imply that.

Did you get me confused with someone else you are replying to or something?

A lot of times I don’t read the drink sections of the menu because I’m not having a drink. Or I might skip the dessert section. Sometimes the special that the server tells me about sounds so good so I just say ‘I will take that please’ without looking at the menu at all. I don’t read menus cover to cover nor do I inspect all signage on a window…but I guess I will now when visiting the USA since apparently that’s the expectation. If I did notice such a thing before ordering, I would just not eat there.

And any mandatory fee is not a tip by definition so I see this as a completely different issue from tipping culture.

I am hopeless when it comes to accepting your white savior view of things, yes. And which original plan? The one in support of murdering all mixed race people? Also which table? I literally don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

If you can’t even justify your position, like…at all. Doesn’t that sort of make you consider rethinking your position at least a little bit?

Many people are absolutely suggesting we give back Vancouver. Giving back only shit that settlers don’t really care about or use defeats the whole point doesn’t it?
