What the fuck are “unregretted user minutes”? I regret every minute any user spends on that site, so it should be zero.

You’re going to get to! That’s what they will actually be doing if the class action lawsuits don’t crash them.

Art doesn’t need to know this answer that badly. This fucking guy has taken

• dilaudid
• morphine
• opium
• nitrous
• pcp
• meth
• lighter fluid, by huffing
• cough syrup at a dose of “two bottles”

I don’t even know what a few of these things are, and I’m not going to look up and see how crazy the doses on everything else are, but based on the ones I do know I can only conclude that this guy is trying to kill himself.

And he’s succeeding, from the sound of it.

You’re asking this in a community that’s specifically about doing piracy. Pretty hard to take your question seriously in this context.

and i figured you’d read what i actually wrote instead of arguing with someone who didn’t exist

Yes, I know all that. The argument I was replying to was that you run out of trees if you use them to make paper without recycling. That argument is false. You’re arguing with points I didn’t make.

No, this isn’t solved by having a whole forest available when you scale up the consumer side too.

You’re seriously underestimating how many trees there are. The only reason we’re losing forest is because of grazing land. That’s clearcutting, where you remove the tree and just destroy it or just burn the whole forest. As a vegetarian I’m obviously not here to defend grazing land, but if you look only at wood and paper production, we absolutely can replace the trees we use with enough time for them to regrow completely.

Doing so devastates ecosystems by turning them into monocultures, but you’re only talking about the replacement rate of trees. We don’t have to worry about the replacement rate of trees, we have to worry about greed for land and environmental impact.

Oh jesus christ. Powerful men do not need weird nerds jumping in front of their bullets. The guy is a fucking shitshow.

Stopped reading at the uncritical use of the word “transgenderism” and the unanalyzed repetition of the falsehood that Budweiser suffered financially from the Dylan Mulvaney thing (it didn’t).

Not sure what fence the author is trying to sit on, but I’ll take my opinion fluff pieces from people who aren’t actively aiding the conservative culture war.

I’m confused why backups would even matter. Are the servers physically hosted in Mali and the government seized them?

Because if the government just invalidated the domain, that’s completely different. In that case a server device with everything on it still exists in the same place it always did, it’s just DNS that has changed.

(And yes, I understand that losing the domain name and the certs attached to it would be a big deal, but there’s no data loss, hence no need to pull from backups.)

Why should it care about the religion of man, then?

For that matter, why should it care about the invitation of man?

If there are rules a vampire must follow, and those rules can be satisfied through the agency of human beings, having been interpreted by human beings, then we have to consider what a human being means by invitation.

If a 4-year-old invites a vampire into his parents’ house, does that count? It’s not his house, either. If you think that a vampire can enter on the invitation of a 4-year-old then you must concede that people other than the owner can invite someone in. If you think that invitation is not valid, then you must concede that a vampire respects a hierarchy of rights.

I think that the state asserts a right to invite other people into your house which supersedes your right to prevent them. We call that overriding invitation a warrant.

I think it’s very much like regular ice cream, but a flavor an octopus would eat.

Crab, maybe.

Demographics? That has nothing to do with it. They are different genres, but lots of people like multiple genres. Me, for example. I want to see both. Since I can only sit in one theater at a time, that means they are competing.

I don’t get this one, what’s the hol up

If I saw Ron Perlman kill someone, I would assume it was for a good reason. And then provide him with an alibi.

I love this, John, but for pete’s sake please go find a writer on the picket lines to write these, this is such a mess to read.

This is clever strategy. AMPTP wants the strike to drag on. They’ve said they’re going to continue until people start losing their homes. Now, whether this is bluster* or not, they’re going to be in a really hard place if the only people making entertainment are independents, who are suddenly going to become the power brokers. And they’ll stay that way, too. If some indie studio manages to make a hit when nobody else could make a soda commercial, they’ll be revered even after the strike ends. AMPTP doesn’t want that, so this puts pressure on them to cave quickly.

*It is. It’s so easy to punch greedy fucks in the wallet and watch them fold.

If your children would just adopt a can-do attitude while they’re mining, they’d be getting promotions
