It's the thought that counts.

If one is the other, than what's on which side of the equation doesn't really matter. They're still the same thing.
So sure a calzone is also a burrito. No difference really.

Burgers are sandwiches.
Hotdogs are tacos.
Burritos are calzones.

When they start getting lawyers involved. That's how you know when it genuinely leaked, and wasn't part of the publicity plan.

My bookmark goes directly to the subscription page. I never see the home page algorithm

Agreed. It really looks like they only killed the one whistle blower.

That goes for all fish and seafood. Unless you caught it yourself, or personally know who did, it's frozen.

Blind taste tests have shown most people can't tell the difference. Of the few who can, most prefer the frozen. Probably because it's what they're used to. "Fresh Seafood" is a scam

Just some quick ideas. Some may be used already. I didn't bother checking.

Can you curb your sensitivity?
You used the wrong word. Maybe you didn't know. That's fine. We all do it occasionally. No harm.
Now that you know better, you could simply show some grace and humility by saying "Thank you". Then everyone could move on.

Have a good one

Actual pirate ships were very democratic generally. When splitting the bounty, everyone got an equal share. Maybe 2 shares for the navigator and 1.5 for the captain. But that's it.

So while they didn't care much for non-pirates, they certainly treated each other fairly.

That's great!
I first thought of the other side. Facilities that keep embryos now are subject to all sorts of childcare regulations. Staffing ratios, food service, bedroom counts, all sorts of things.

Nearly all the rules members need to follow (which can vary from one tracker to another) are about seeding enough. That's the main universal thing. Not allowing people to "Hit and Run". For a member to do that, it typically takes dedicating some substantial drive space and seed time. Far more than most people are willing/able to dedicate. This allows the tracker to curate a large library of high quality material. That's the primary ideology.

Secondary to that, it has the added benefit of making sure everyone involved is "cool". Cool as in, not a nark who's going to get people sued and the site shut down. That used to be a big issue. I don't know if it is now. I'm kind of out of touch with public torrent sites.

As to why we're insufferable elitists? What do you want me to say? Rulers' gonna rule.
