Would you teach your kids how to pirate?

My gf and I have had discussions about teaching morals to kids. In that vein, I asked myself, would I teach piracy to my kids? Yes, it’s technically illegal and carries inherent risks. But so does teenage sex carry the risks of teenage pregnancy, and so we have an obligation to children to teach them how to practice safe sex....

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

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.

Distribution of money and power is a facet of society.

What pedo movement?

Maybe at some point you'll be shot dead by the cops with your cock stuffed into the family dog.

Just saying.

Yeah, but that's all happening in the House and their propaganda networks. This would have been a different story if we hadn't just barely kept the Senate out of GOP hands.

Yeah, I'm just saying, the Hunter Biden dick pics keep coming up because a certain congresscritter needs to keep copies on her person. For reasons. I'll admit it's entertaining to know just how much she thinks about his monster dong, but it's mostly an observation about what lets her keep doing it and having it broadcast like a soccer goal.

.... god damn it brain.

Now I'm seeing and hearing Jessie Waters throw his arms up and yell DONNNNNNNNNNG! with the pic floating up behind him.

The way he changed, so quickly, suggests to me that the stroke might have caused some alterations to his personality.

HopeOfTheGunblade,

I have nearly no evidence of that happening, and strokes changing personality is a well studied phenomenon. I could, of course, be wrong. Do you have any evidence to support this hypothesis?

HopeOfTheGunblade,

I'm not aware of strokes - or stroke like symptoms - being particularly common among that set of people. I thought mostly the US funded military coups, funded guerillas and death squads, used financial warfare, that sort of thing. I know the CIA basically had a Wile E Coyote phase with Castro, but that never actually went anywhere that I'm aware of.

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

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

HopeOfTheGunblade,

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

HopeOfTheGunblade,

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.

Doesn't seem to be on the list yet:

Terraria.

I have hundreds of hours on my steam account, and I'm pretty sure it's actually thousands. It's a great game, and it's been updated so much since it released. When you could buy and hold gift copies of steam, I used to regularly buy new copies to hang on to to hand out to people; I've probably gotten ten people into it. Currently doing a modded master playthrough with my family and having a great time.

Yeah, the wiki is a big help, as is being aware that any item that has 'Material' in the list of traits when you mouse over it, can be brought to the guide, when you talk to him one of the options is 'crafting', and the empty blue box in that menu can have said items dropped into it for a list of all recipes using it, along with what workstation it takes.

Anyone know how the subreddit hodling for DWAC is doing? I hope they're okay.

In 2023, Ureña attended the raising of the Progress Pride Flag, where she was reportedly lunged at by local Rebecca Lemon.

Lemon, a 43-year-old woman, described herself as “white, Lutheran, conservative Republican, everything they think is hateable.” She called the city’s move to fly the Pride flag next to the Stars and Stripes outside City Hall an affront to U.S. military veterans like her father and grandfather.

“He’s not a daughter, he’s a son!” Lemon yelled at Ureña’s father, who had been recording her outburst.

“He’s not a woman! He’s not a woman!” she kept screaming before swearing at the police and kicking Ureña’s father.

Idk if you're doing shit like this I feel like you're maybe the one hating.

Thanks for causing me to listen to this album again!

Trans people who don't want to transition... Shouldn't be forced to transition? I don't understand your stance here.

And yes, filling a survey from a site for parents denying that their kid could possibly be trans, is a lousy place to get a fair dataset on trans people. Is there a reason you think that the majority of studies are biased, and the majority of practitioners in the field are pro affirming care?

Your beliefs fail to comport with reality. If I had beliefs like that, I would want to update them to better do so. Can you provide evidence that my belief that "medical care for trans people who want it is the best route" is incorrect?

HopeOfTheGunblade,
HopeOfTheGunblade avatar

What is the "craziest shit possible" and which groups are supporting it? "Someone on Twitter said something and got two likes" isn't very interesting here.

What evidence do you have that the medical field is compromised? What evidence would convince you otherwise?

Depression is about feelings, too. Should we tell people with depression to fuck off it's fake no assistance for you?

HopeOfTheGunblade,

This isn't an assumption, this is what the literature shows. If you'd like to ask about a specific claim, I'm prepared to provide specific evidence.

HopeOfTheGunblade,

Actually, depressed people aren't barred from getting a rhinoplasty, or a boob job, or lip filler, so I'm not sure what the point you're making is. You haven't provided any evidence. I also haven't, yet. If I did, would you care, or would you blow it off? Things you've said to me so far suggest that any research I provide will be called woke and captured and lies, so I haven't bothered. If there's a point, I'm happy to. You've just explicitly said things that make me doubt there is.
