I genuinely think that advertising should be illegal at this point. It's a ridiculous concept.
The racism is so blatant. Idk how this isn't a civil rights lawsuit already, the whole situation is utterly ridiculous.
Sim Park
Idk if anyone else ever even heard of it, it was a late 90s Sim game where you built a wildlife park.
I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.
For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.
Yeah this is a definition of "theft" that doesn't really work at all with the commonly used one.
Like, if you download a torrent, it was uploaded by someone else, willingly. If they bought a DVD and handed it to a friend, that friend wouldn't be stealing the DVD. But now, if they upload the file to the internet for other people to watch, this class is calling that theft.
Its the kind of "theft" that leaves no victims. The alleged "victim" isn't the person from whom the content was downloaded, no, it's the third party who originally sold that person the product in the first place.
The whole concept isn't logically consistent, but the corporations wrote the laws and get to decide how they are enforced and what they mean so it doesn't matter that the law makes no sense and is punishing people for "crimes" that are, at their very core, victimless.
Also I'd argue that none of this really matters because language doesn't follow an absolute set of rules. Language is how people use it. If people start using a word to mean so thing it take son that meaning, it doesn't matter if the word makes sense in relation to other words.
A word for something isn't a 100% accurate description of that thing and it never has been. It doesn't matter that a peanut isn't technically a nut, we call it a peanut. Everyone understands that it's a peanut. If you walk up to someone on the street and say "do you know where I can buy some peanuts" they will understand what you are saying with no problems at all.
We spend way too much time arguing over the "right" and "wrong" uses of words. There is no such thing really. Words don't determine their own meaning, people determine that meaning, and if enough people can regocnize a words meaning immediately when they hear it then it is a word with a valid definition. It doesn't matter if the word is contradictory to the way other similar words work, because language isn't defined like that.
Ironically this whole stupid "homophobic peoe aren't scared of gay people" actually proves that the person making that claim does acknoedge that the word homophobia is linguistically valid, because they are acknowledging that it's understood definition differs from what you would expect if you strictly read the word literally
What us the definition of "hydrophobia" as it relates to chemistry?
I'll wait for you to explain how some molecules are leterally afraid of water.
If you get bitten by a rabid animal and go get the shots immediately after your chance of actually dying from rabies is very, very low. The studies I know claim it's very close to 100% effective, which is understandable because of the very long incubation period rabies has, if you have antibodies it doesn't stand a chance.
My dude you clearly don't understand even a little bit of what leftists mean when we say that private property shouldn't be allowed.
Heres a hint: we aren't talking about your house and the stuff in it. Go read a book.
The rest of your comment is pretty spot on though, this is an insane post with even more insane suggestions
Are you seriously suggesting that this person soumd deliberately sabatoge a towns economy,after almost certainly having to lie to get elected in the first place, against the best interests of its inhabitants, just to personally enrich themselves?
Id be on board if you had said he should pass an ordinance banning Airbnb, that would be one thing, but you're suggesting he should make the whole town inhospitable to tourists and crush their economy so he can buy himself a house then fuck off
The FCC is still to my knowledge taking public comments about data caps:

May be worth people here commenting about how they are ridiculous
