Not being available in exactly the way you want it is not an excuse for you to pirate.

On the contrary, I would say that the popularity of those is a strong argument for the idea that those who pirate nowadays are not interested in paying for anything, and just feel they deserve the content.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
I feel there are plenty of alternatives for those legit uses, that getting rid of the ability to do that won't hurt.
184.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Yup. There are a lot of pirates who simply feel entitled to everything, and won't pay for anything. And yet, they would be the first to complain when they don't get paid for their own work. Hell, on the @forexposure_txt twitter, t

You go with the price when the transaction actually goes through.

No, I am trying to say that the, "You have to pay tax or be tortured" is ridiculous. You're not going to be tortured at all. You're going to be penalized just like you would if you failed to follow any other law on the b

"you had no option but to pay the government or risk being tortured" Also known as just "following the law." You could also say you had no choice but to not rape someone or risk being tortured.

I believe it's exactly as reasonable as yours.

The safest and simplest is probably the rate of the exchange you're using.

"Why not let anyone use any toilet regardless of identity?" That's the idea behind single person restroom facilities, and it's a pretty good one. Unfortunately, in many places it just isn't feasible to renovate the

I never meant me, personally. But a trans person, absolutely. Having to use a misgendered bathroom can not only be extremely uncomfortable, it can be extremely dangerous. A trans woman going into a men's room faces a very real threat o

California isn't denying people fundamental rights. That's the difference. "Who cares about home ownership when you can use whatever public toilet you want!" You mean they're allowed to exist in public? If you are n

And you ignoring a problem that very much exists isn't either. Further, why is it their responsibility to "help closer the divide" when the other side does not believe they should have fundamental rights?

At the same time, having the victim's name plastered all over everywhere can't be good for them. Despite all the progress that's been made, we still live in a time where most victims would be blacklisted from the industry, de

Could you really trust the white supremacist to correctly ID the material, though?

by s73ver_ 9y ago
It's entirely unreasonable to pay that much, especially when you haven't validated it yourself.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
Does that really matter when that "value" is created by breaking the law?
201.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
So they get to break the law as much as they want, and it's not going to make a difference.

So when do we finally get to say, "You're too slimy to be a company anymore."

by s73ver_ 9y ago
In this case, it is an act of government, repealing an existing regulation, which is allowing the fucking over. Hence, government fucking over citizens.

Pointing out the error of your post is not a personal attack.

"Feel free to buy lottery tickets or gamble, just don't let us catch you investing in a startup seed round." People keep spouting that argument, and I'm utterly unconvinced of its relevance. Namely because you're ar

Your comment does not demonstrate an accurate recollection of history nor the stances of the candidates. Clinton would not have repealed Net Neutrality. Keeping Net Neutrality was one of the Democratic platform planks. So right there, we kn

The entire world is made up of divisive politics. Unless you want this to be a place where nothing of substance is discussed, ever, then you cannot escape it.

I wasn't convinced by that article when it first came out, due to it's using several arguments in bad faith, and simply mischaracterizing many things (you can check back to the HN thread when that article was released for examples

Neither one of those is a true solution. For one, we currently do not live in a climate where competition is happening. Every NN supporter would love for that to happen, but for now it's not. Second, not every place can support competi

I am trying extremely hard to not purely lash out at you, but to civilly converse, here. But you're completely wrong. Yes, competition would absolutely be better for everyone. There is not a single NN supporter out there who would not
