Literally billions of instances of censorship every year, the DMCA is such an awful law

What about unjustly light sentences though? Like a sex criminal who is let off easy because he’s white, has rich parents and was on track to get a high paying career?

For starting a fire, look for bits of birch bark on the ground, it is extremely flammable and is much better tinder than leaves.

There’s also birds being loud and the sun making the inside of your tent too hot to contend with

You can also take off your shoe and use that

but I’m playing it in English, so I guess I wouldn’t have anyway?

The text in the screenshot in the reddit post they link is in English

Hot weather is a lot more comfortable than cold weather to me tbh

The article brings up good criticisms, like all the minors getting molested due to the platform being negligent, and manipulative in game spending options. Paying for online content creation work doesn’t seem as bad as that to me though.

When I started doing home maintenance stuff I thought, $10 seems like a lot when the other stuff probably works just as good as silicone caulk. Turns out no, silicone is really good at keeping water out and other options are often useless.

I once had a deal with my landlord to provide wifi to the other tenants. Of course I didn’t snoop, but it’s not like they had any real assurance of that. You’d think there might be some privacy concerns but nobody had a problem except when the internet was down. I think in general people don’t tend to care about that, though if you do there’s the option of using a VPN.

I love it, hate having to check my phone for these, brilliant choice to put the code onscreen

To me it seems fine, especially if there’s still a free version that’s basically the same or it gets released after a delay. I don’t think I’d pay for something like this myself, and maybe they’re taking some legal risk, but if the money lets them spend time making media accessible, how is there a problem that outweighs the good?

To me the part that seems the most wasteful is wasting the time of badly paid workers when you could just prepare food for yourself instead, and to a lesser extent the waste of your money going to a corporation, and the waste of real estate. I don’t think things like water use and extra plastic/cardboard trash associated with food is all that impactful or worth worrying about. That said I personally avoid going out to eat except in the rare cases when it is an unavoidable social requirement, so a few times a year at most.

I think the joke is this wine will get you too drunk to do math right

It’s not quite the same thing as deploying soldiers against protesters, but technically all of those things are done ultimately through the use of coercive and violent force. Don’t want to go to school? Your parents will make you, because if they don’t they could be imprisoned. Slightly inconvenience drivers by walking across a busy street not at a crosswalk? Could be fined or arrested for jaywalking. Pose a hazard to rocket launches by flying a makeshift aircraft in federal airspace with no flight plan? You know the drill. That’s not to mention the funding for all those things, the violence inherent in which doesn’t stop at taxes, but also is a central factor in maintaining the value of a currency in a variety of different ways.

Kind of sounds like they are just out to get him because he keeps protesting the lack of crosswalks

He also reportedly wrote an email to Charlottesville’s city manager which read: “There is a marked crosswalk now [at the intersection in question] in spite of you … It’s chalk[,] not paint[.] Please replace it with a real one.”

A police report that Cox shared with the news station alleged that officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint.

Like he explicitly told them it was chalk and also you can just look at it

Wild animals end up covered in ticks and sometimes even die from it

if it were me I’d be conflicted about whether to respond with just “k” or demanding a conversation about boundaries

One solution to this has been, be a resident of a blue state and get on medicaid, though it’s looking like that might not be viable going forward…
