My mom introduced me to Napster. So at this point, it would be a family tradition.

Distribution of money and power is a facet of society.

I mean, not everyone agrees what the problems are. We can’t even approach talking about solutions until we settle on the problems. And that problem seems to be getting worse.

Yeah, unfortunately I couldn’t find revenue numbers. It seems unlikely to be costing that much to host. I’d be really surprised to learn it isn’t cash positive at this point.

Not made -31.5 billion. Lost -31.5 billion. As in they brought in that much, not cost it.

Yeah, sorry, sometimes I can’t help my need to play with language, when given the slightest chance.

YouTube lost google -31.5 billion in 2023, approximately 10% of all of alphabet’s revenue.

If anyone doing an arms race wins at AGI literally everyone gets mulched, so I hope nobody who is, does.

Civil vs Criminal. Trump got a disgorgement, it’s not a fine. He’s been ordered to pay back his ill-gotten gains, that’s not the same thing as a fine. Anyhow, a civil case can’t end in jail time. That’s not how civil cases work.

Every goddamn time I hear it…

So yeah, given this, in what sense is it realistic or reasonable to not vote for the person with the better chance of beating them, IE, the democrat. I don’t love that I have to bet my life, and the lives of lots of others, on a keynesian beauty contest, but I’m not going to be dumb and throw the contest just because I don’t like it. Why would you want to persuade people to do that?

A reference to the phrase, “don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining,” ie, I can see what is happening in front of me. And they’d implement this shit on a federal level if they could; there were 40 such provisions they tried to get into the recent budget bills. The Twitter caucus has decided that I am an abomination, that my existence as myself makes me a pedophile, and that pedophiles deserve to be killed. The rest of the party is generally apathetic towards this, and will let them run the show on such matters if they are in an unassailable position. I thought John McCain was someone who I could have voted for in 2008, but he was the last Republican who was even remotely there; even the Republicans who managed the absolute minimum bar of recognizing a coup attempt when it tried to hang them, went along with the program the vast, vast majority of the time, right up until the doors were being hammered on by an angry mob.

And, in advance of your reply, please don’t bother telling me the yellow liquid that smells like piss running down my leg is rain. Conversion therapy kills. Getting proper treatment saved my life, and they explicitly want to take that away from me. Address this rather than trying to explain it away, or just don’t waste both of our time. I’m sure you have more productive things to do than deny what I can plainly see.

The Republicans explicitly want me dead. What is my incentive to not vote against them as hard as I can?

Restored it how. Give specific, explicit steps. Don’t state a goal and then assume that he can set the goal and it happens. There are specific actions he would take to do this. What are they?

Can you explain exactly how Biden could have used “exactly the same amount of energy and paper restoring women’s rights”? Be explicit and specific, please.

Not on the networks that will give him airtime, it won’t.

This timeline is so dark Anish Kapoor tried to purchase exclusive rights to it.

Generally people usually it as a pejorative will include “radical”, like any MF who wants people to have healthcare is out here doing kick flips and grinds.

What do you mean when you say “true AI”? The question isn’t answerable as asked, because those words could mean a great many things.
