Lol imagine if Microsoft had succeeded in controlling the development and distribution of all software used on Windows. We'd all lose something.

These are actually separate issues. TPB isn't legally responsible for theft if someone leaks an unreleased song. But, the publishing company can sue them for damages related to lost income based on TPB's distribution of content.

Are platforms responsible for the content their users post? No. Rules for unusual situations (CSAM, terrorism, copyright, etc) have been established for probably decades by this point.

An online chat/message board is not comparable to an image generator because the company is not creating potentially harmful content.

What evidence is needed? Just have some eyewitness testimony and send it out to the jury.

The meme mentions this like it's a Democrat issue, but Republicans do the same thing.

For example, Trump disavowed Project 2025 policies as too extreme, but then obviously followed them very closely.

The issue is election winners are almost always the one with >50% popular support. So candidates are incentivized to align their policies with those of the median voter. This persists across different voting systems, so rebuilding it for that reason may not help.

But you can still elect a progressive by voting for them in the primary election (where they can be more authentic) or if the median voter becomes more progressive (more progressives vote).

The Pentagon is doing less so that means we can reduce its funding, right?

Honestly I'm just amused that the photo is the part that's not plausible

Then maybe you should have thought twice before leaving them so much climate change

Depends on the lender but usually like $4-8k. It's bet that you won't want to change the terms of the mortgage again until your balance is lower than it would be otherwise.

Oh damn, probably I could have claimed that then. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, just out of warranty unfortunately

 

In my thirties my living situation has become more stable. If it has for you as well, what's the next big thing on your mind, or is there one?
