Putin has a black belt in Sambo, and also Judo I think. He might be getting old, but the thing about both of those martial arts is that strength isn’t necessarily that important (I mean, unless you’re going up against a worthy opponent obviously), but it’s all about leverage and using your opponent’s momentum against them.

In other words, when you do it right, they kind of throw themselves… Putin would be tossing him around like a fucking ragdoll without breaking a sweat.

I would love to see someone knock Elon down a few pegs… Physically, I mean. Like beat the shit out of him. At least.

Were you not alive during COVID? That was like, the entire thing…

Because it’s a blight on society, and it cripples people’s ability to think critically.

We are living in the results of a society founded on and formed by Christianity. It’s bad.

It’s intentional.

I mean maybe technically (I’m sure it varies depending on country). But I’m not aware of any cases where they’ve ever pursued anyone for that.

It’s definitely a grey area in the US, I believe (again, no precedent set), and someone with a good lawyer could actually get a good ruling here, which would set the precedent. Which is probably why they never pursue it. I think that happened with VHS when people were taping shows in the 80s/90s (could be misremembering that).

The concept of “fair use” in general (not referring to specific interpretations of the term) definitely allows you to do this. At least how I interpret it. I am not a lawyer.

So if it were me, I’d only be concerned with the ethics, and I see nothing ethically wrong with it whatsoever. But that’s just me.

Huh? Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having trouble understanding what your position is…

For one though, everybody is not aware of it. And many who are do not care.

Sadly, this is not a rare occurance, even before Oct 7. But since then, you could find a headline like this (or worse) at least every week or two on average. At some point it becomes a pattern, and that point was years (if not decades) ago.

Holy straw man!

If you own the physical DVD, fair use allows you to own a backup copy, so torrenting it in that case would not be unethical nor illegal.

Just a reminder that you’re in a thread about the IDF murdering a child.

Not sure about you, but I’d be pretty terrified if that happened to my family or in my town or even in my country…

Say it with me everyone: HAS-BAR-A

Yeah, but none of that shit applies to you when you have that much money. Dude could literally just build his own lab and hire chemists, like Gus Fring in Breaking Bad.

Can’t come soon enough…

Skyrim wasn’t “weird” by any definition I’d use. More like bland.

Morrowind is over 20 years old, and there hasn’t been a FO game with compelling plot lines since New Vegas. You are living in the past.

What’s the problem? Should those features only be available to people who know about jailbreaking? It seems like the pressure caused Apple to actually spend some money to add useful features that people obviously wanted. What’s the bad thing here?

This is how brain-broken capitalism has made people… The concept of an effective government actually regulating a company and forcing them to spend more money to do the thing they should be doing is just completely foreign to you.

Capitalism. Next question…

Digg was never better than reddit.

Wish people would stop blaming this on ketamine, a dissociative drug that is very safe (used on children and small animals for surgery), and that typically has the exact opposite effect of how Elon is behaving.

This is 100% him. This is in spite of the ketamine.

I remember back when that referrer thing happened and people on reddit were tripping over themselves to justify it and explain why it’s actually ok… What a joke.
