It was pretty cringe, the lyrics were god awful and they were way too liberal with the auto tune. Thankfully Elon is so unimaginative that he couldn't think of more than one verse for his war crime of a song so there weren't any surprises after ~10 seconds in. I would say the warning was justified, but a little overstated. I thought we were gonna be on Angelic 2 the Core levels of bad and it was just Friday bad. My relationship with my curiosity remains the same. As long as it isn't (real) gore, I'll probably click on it

You have no idea how much pain I'm willing to inflict on myself in order to get the reference. Your warning has been heard, but it will not be heeded

Edit: oof

It isn't theft, it's copyright infringement. Otherwise known as a bullshit crime that corporations invented to force the state to protect their bottom line. An individual infringing on a corporations copyright is, at worst, neutral. The artists working on these movies, games, albums, etc are either salaried, contracted, or having the majority of their profits siphoned off from their publisher. If you really care about supporting artists, throw independent artists a few bucks where you can and "steal" to your hearts content from the companies that already exploit their creative workforce.

Honestly, I wish pirating measurably hurt corporations bottom lines. They need to go down and that would be the easiest way to do it. But decades of rampant piracy have shown that piracy actually helps these companies in most instances, as people who have pirated a product and like it are more likely to purchase the product in the future compared to someone who simply hasn't used the product in question.

Additionally, many smaller or independent creators either don't give a shit about piracy or actively encourage those without the means to pay to pirate it anyway. People who are doing it for the love of their craft aren't profit centered ghouls who only care about enriching themselves and create things to contribute to our shared culture and entertainment. Pull your head out of your ass

I coughed, burped, and sharted simultaneously a while back. It was disorienting and I felt violated

I would imagine any privacy measures cartels take are seen as overhead more than anything else

Do people with a Rolex pay subscriptions for their disgustingly expensive watches?

Idk I view it a little closer than that. Rather than an arts program v sports program I see it as an art program that wants to buy paint and I'm saying maybe it would be a better idea to buy easles, canvases, pencils, paper, and pastels instead

I'm not suggesting the organizers of this fundraiser.missappropriate the money. I'm saying that this fundraiser seems pretty pointless and the money would be better spent elsewhere

 

Had this epiphany last night when we went to an asian fusion place. The similarities are uncanny
