The people who claim that voting will solve our problems. You know, like all the Dems saying "well you have to vote!". If we were in a functional healthy democracy, sure. In this current farce? Nah. That's just feeding the slow deline of our nation. Will it possibly let Nazi Trump win? Sure. But we're already in a corporate oligarchy anyways, we might as well throw the mask off and admit to it. Trump winning is the least of our problems when the Tree of Liberty is already diseased and rotting away.

We can either keep the current system on life support and keep the farce going for a few more elections/decades, or we can pull the plug and admit that the system as it is today has failed and needs to be reworked.

But go ahead, act like "voting for the lesser of two evils"(which has been a thing for decades now) really matters and is enacting any real change.

Remind me again how many of our basic rights keep getting swept away? And before you start the usual "well it's the Republicans fault!" speil, consider if they would be able to do the same bullshit if the democratic party had any real teeth and didn't just roll over conveniently every time. We have words for that: accomplices and enablers.

The system is rotten to the core and until we admit that, we aren't going anywheres. It's a prisoners dilemma and we're all fighting for our self comfort instead of the greater good.

I said this only makes sense if states lack morals(corrupt).

You say "well states aren't moral".

How are these different enough that you felt the need to downvote me? I'm literally agreeing with you.

Mass protests. Civil disobedience. The kinda of things that ended slavery and helped raise women's rights. The things we used to do instead of sitting down and just taking it. Look at the French: they stage months/years long protests. Now check their labor laws and compare it to the US. Where would you rather work?

It's not going to end until people accept that this change won't be easy and won't happen taking the easy way. It's going to be a shit ton of uphill battles. But that's the only way to take power back from the oppressors: you demand it.

You think Biden could keep his course of actions up if a large percentage of citizens were out on the streets protesting? I'm asking you to hold your elected representatives accountable. And if they arent doing as they should, you should damn well make it known. Not go "well, he's not gonna do what I want, but he's not a Nazi". DONT ROLL OVER AND TAKE IT.

Do you realize how much you can slow the government down just by calling your representatives? Even if you don't talk to them, every secretary and assistant taking calls instead of doing other things slows them down. Keep calling. Don't stop. Send in letters. Show up to meetings whenever possible. Be visible and make your voice heard.

It basically only makes sense if corruption is involved. There's no reasonable moral ground for enabling genocide.

But remember, we're still supposed to vote for Biden even though his own cabinet members have lost faith in him. Because otherwise we get Nazi Trump.

Remind me again, is this what a functional, healthy, democracy looks like? The institutions that form our "political parties" are rotten to the core. The ideals don't need to die, but the corrupt groups who stifle actual change and progress need to.

We didn't hate them until we thought they might actually take us over as well. We weren't fighting Nazis, we were fighting "un-Americans". It's literally just another flavor of racism(that we helped teach the Germans lmao - they loved our concept of eugenics)

Notice how after Nazis it went to Commies, the other "un-American" type.

All these people "rediscovering" old tech like we didn't abandon it for a reason. No, I don't want to build a PC out of old Commodore 64s that barely works and needs to be coded in assembly when I can literally get a mini PC that's 100x more powerful for $120.

You realize that with CSAM, you need to know the laws of every country you operate in and the laws surrounding that, right? Do you know an international lawyer willing to donate their time for free to make sure youre compliant with every regulation?

What about GDPR? Similar rules in other countries?

And again, how are you gonna put copyrighted material on it and NOT get shut down?

And imagine the best case scenario: you create a free media server for anyone to use. Wanna guess how long it'll take before you're out of bandwidth? Video streaming is bandwidth intensive. You're just gonna give all that out for free? Because remember, if you charge for it and a single copyrighted video is on there, you're looking at numerous criminal charges for facilitating it.

It's just not feasible unless you cram it full of ads or neuter it so much it's worthless. Stop being delusional. If this was on a piracy community I'd be on board because they at least understand that what they are doing isnt legal and would take proper precautions to try and stay under the radar. You'd expect it to one day get shut down.

Or you do nothing and get completely walked all over.

Because what's your solution? Words aren't doing shit.

How many rockets has Israel launched? Defending yourself with 8 rockets vs hundreds? Get real

"Hey! Stop that! Be genocided in peace! How dare you fight back!"

Look, if we're gonna agree that Israel has been occupying Palestine for decades and abusing them for decades, at a certain point you need to admit that Hamas isn't 100% at fault. Just like how the USs actions in the Middle East increased extremism and terrorism, so has Israel's. You can't keep murdering mothers and fathers and expect the children to grow up thinking that "peace as dictated by your oppressors" is the solution.

$3600 to build a media server anyone can access...... Bro is delusional. Not to mention, how are you gonna put a single thing on it without breaking the law? The moment there is a single video there that you don't have license/copyright to, the whole thing gets shut down. Especially if you charge for access, which you will have to, otherwise your bandwidth will be gone in a second. And you want to complicate this further by making it international.

Cool idea, but the logistics alone make this nearly impossible. This would only work in a pro-piracy community that understands that what they are doing is technically illegal.

Also, whatcha gonna do when the first CSAM gets uploaded and now suddenly you gotta follow legal regulations of numerous countries on how to properly report/sanitize the server?

"Hey bro! Here's some 20 year old program! We should totally reinvent it today! It's not like anyone has been working on this exact thing for the last 20 years!". Wtf is with the younger generations obsession with "retro tech"?!? "Look bro, I can do the same thing we can do now, but slower and worse!"

Also Matrix. If you're gonna suggest something, maybe make sure it doesn't already exist.

Seconding this. If they don't click, they still feel in. They gotta CLICK. For people new to building, you gotta press harder than you probably feel comfortable pressing.

Exactly. I don't agree with the article/hate of the movie, but it absolutely is the least liked of the original trilogy. This has been a long standing trope. The Guardian didn't make anything up.

....did you make it on your work computer using your ONLY email address? And now you're trying to make ANOTHER account with the SAME email address?

Sorry, but the way you emphasize "work computer" like that makes it the unique identifier leads me to believe you misunderstand how things work.

We're a constitutional Republic, dipshit. We're not even a true democracy and calling us the oldest when there are PUBS older than our country is ridiculous. We are YOUNG.

You lay all of the blame on Target and act like they stole the designs and that they weren't licensed them. Target didn't pillage someone's cultural heritage, someone sold their cultural heritage to a corporation. If they valued it so much, why would they do that? You cant complain that your heritage was stolen when you willingly sold it away. Your beef is with the designer, NOT Target.
