Given there’s no apparent resistance I lack evidence of an opposing group.

Confession booth in a church for the modern age. AI does the thinking for you just like religion.

Robin Williams isn’t original to this slop. Also was revealed that his will included a clause preventing Disney or anyone else from using his likeness, voice, or recordings for 25 years after his passing, but slop is okay with you I guess. Just take a shit on his grave next time, same thing.

We haven’t done anything to combat their rise, so I’m not so optimistic.

Depression for me is a natural and justified reaction to this awful reality and not something I think I can or should “fix.” Having depression doesn’t invalidate my views. I’m not who is broken, so there’s nothing to fix. Most people bury their heads in sand and deny the really dark nature of life and death in general. ~85% of humans are theists just for starters.

Not just referring to humanity but the nature of all life, the finite and mortal solar system, and the Universe. I don’t call myself antinatalist however because it’s an empathy response and a personal moral philosophy for me to not bring children into this world.

I’m not telling others what to do, just explaining my views if asked. Unfortunately, the toxic loud mouths in that community who use the label, who are the majority sadly, don’t care about the philosophy or empathy. They just want to hate, judge, and lash out and glom onto anything negative. Or karma farm with lazy rage bait if it’s reddit.

If you want to know the actual philosophy, read David Benatar’s book yourself instead of second hand rambling by pharisees. They didn’t read shit beyond lazy image macros on reddit before calling themselves antinatalist. No better than Facebook Boomers “doing their own research.”

If I’m projecting anything it’s autism which is likely why I am at all capable of seeing what I see when I look at the world, and depression is a response to what I’ve discovered.

Does the food even cost them anything besides…wait, do they even have mana pools?

Thannnkssss, Mullvad!

Same as a cat with skin/fur issues showing up to a vet then yeah.

If buying is owning, then filesharing still isn’t stealing 🤷

If I rob your house and take your computer, you no longer have a computer. If I copy a file you have, you still have the original file. Now you could still call it harmful, so there’s already word you can use! It’s called Piracy.

Pic related, fuck. Started with 5 seeds, now there’s just one. Unconnectable.

X…D…Goodbye!

I also choose this guy’s wife.

If I sign up for a torrenting site like torrent galaxy or something

That’s a public tracker/index. You don’t need to sign up at all to connect to a public tracker swarm.

and leave my computer running then will other people get seeded?

Yep. You can set bandwidth limits if your upload and/or download internet package is bad so it doesn’t interfere too much.

Or do I have to upload a file or can I just have it finished?

Hit and Run is considered bad manners and selfish behaviour. You can get away with it on public trackers, but private ones typically ban you for that. It’s called leeching. It’ll be based on your total upload/download stats, or your ratio in other words. Aim for 1:1 minimum. I’m pretty sure all torrent clients support displaying ratio even if it’s not enabled by default in some, possibly.

We need software and hardware independence. Shit is getting silly.

I can’t handle the idea of paying someone like that even a single time, I’d feel so ripped off and violated.

I saw it as the philosophy of the (wage) slave.

Good question, I should try.

The idea sprang to mind immediately of sending a single square of used toilet paper delivered to Trump with no note or context. Probably why I’m not fit to lead a country.

One of the two banks I use forces you to use their app for 2FA. I despise this practice but I’m also way too lazy to close those accounts. Luckily Scotiabank app doesn’t use Play Integrity or whatever and works on GrapheneOS. The other bank I just use web browser yep.

For most other stuff MicroG works. It’s still google but at arms length. I use it for Youtube Morphe modded adblock/sponsorblock app and stuff like that.
