I mean, I specifically like GTA because it allows me to rack up 4 stars and brutally and violently murder POS LEOs until they give up cause I’ve trashed their forces and they don’t have anything heavier to send at me.

I would be happy to see the same done in real life, but I doubt the outcome would be anywhere near similar.

I used to even spend hours on Assassin’s Creed just gutting cops, stealing their rides and running over thugs until I saw another set of cops to rob. Then I’d kill them, and take their ride, and…

Fuck the police!

Private DNS service.

Jerry rig door sensor.

Probably against the rules, but I’d do it anyway.

Ya know, some people actually only get on social media for curated news, to have actual conversations with other humans, or to share or seek advice about specific topics.

I spend most my time in tech, old home remodel, and local/hometown forums.

Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.

Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

Either way, nobody was hurt.

But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

I don’t know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.

Let the community vote. Get them onboarded and functioning now. If they don’t work out, try another.

Tight! I had a VB, but I don’t think it lasted a year.

It was really fun though as a kid.

I don’t care for VR at all as an adult though.

Kinda interesting thinking back on that.

Kid me goes ‘oh neat!’ adult me goes ‘ug, can we just go to a park or build something instead’

Technically you’re posting to social media right here, but I think we all got what you meant.

Yeah, don’t say you don’t know if you do, that’s lying, which is a crime in this situation. You can answer crime related questions with questions (avoidance). But don’t do that for everything. If they push, start asking if you’re free to go. If they say no, invoke the 5th.

Don’t do their jobs for them.

Don’t answer any questions that could incriminate you. Or talk to them in general. But be polite when you do speak.

Only tell them your name or provide other required identity information. Don’t say where you are going or coming from. Don’t explain anything. Don’t tell stories. Don’t lie.

I was shocked by their paper on static.

There paper on water was surprisingly dry.

I’m still confused how core Christian beliefs can be in any way compatible with right leaning political beliefs.

Some Republicans know better than to mess with 1st amendment rights, maybe even most, but apparently none of those Republicans own or control our media outlets or operate our government.

I kinda feel like there are definitely poor Republicans, but all the supposed rich and powerful Republicans secretly belong to an entirely different clan.

Philosophy is the foundation of science.

The motivations for a person’s good actions are generally less important than that they act good, less you are looking for a way to manipulate them into acting poorly. Only then do the reasons behind their actions become more important than their actions themselves.

God aside, he agrees with the words some ancient people spoke regarding how to be good people and thrive as a society, and no science has ever proven those words wrong… Science agrees, hand over fist.

Research the sins and virtues and extrapolate their outcomes, or look to past examples. Then, when acting as an individual, choose the sin or virtue that best serves the whole community, including yourself.

I downloaded it before watching it.

How’s Piefed doing?
