I agree it was ridiculous, but why would the woman validate the question by giving the most obviously abhorrent response? That just made the question no longer ridiculous, because she answered in the affirmative.

In other words, “can a mother murder her toddler?” is only a ridiculous question if everyone in the room agrees on the obvious answer. This time, not everyone did… somehow.

No time for ethical consistency when we have degenerate music to consume!

This is neat, but do people even have those cartridges anymore? I wonder if this is them knowingly releasing a device they intend to be used for piracy.

Does this confirm that giraffes are brown with yellow lines, rather than yellow with brown spots? This could be huge for the giraffe community.

Maybe it’s a really, really deep basin for washing all the dishes we put off.

Remember when Cardi B admitted to drugging and robbing people, and absolutely nothing happened to her public image?

I will never call it “X,” just like I will never call Facebook “Meta.”

Good on you for being principled. I experience the same sort of feeling, and I’ve tried to just redirect that need for content into other media.

Don’t be too complacent, of course. I’ve seen people on the Fediverse turn feral and Reddit-esque during discussions of particular culture war issues. It’s not completely peachy here all the time; there are some subjects about which some people can’t help losing their composure.

Boomer comic 🤮

I’m done with that place.

I am not sure how this relates at all to the “justice system”, however. Are private organizations only allowed to part ways with an employee because they committed crimes? This is not really about “guilt” that can be proven or disproven in a court case, and there are already mechanisms in place for people to be compensated if they can show that they were unfairly treated or if contracts were violated.

It wasn’t a fully formed proposal, honestly. You make a very good point.

Alternative take: Piracy is, at worst, morally neutral, and does not have a significant adverse effect on the profits of the people who produce media.

Calm down.

I think you misunderstand the original author’s point.

Maybe, though that would be odd for a personal finance magazine.

That must have been devastating. I’m sorry to hear that.

Is this supposed to be suggestive? I don’t understand.

I am 26 and have been in the workforce for a few years.

In short, is there something I’m missing here, or is work-eat-sleep-repeat all there is until I retire?

Yes, except for the fact that you and I will not be able to retire.
