But why not just stream it?

I was talking about the origin of general schools in general

The original idea behind school isn't to educate the masses. Why would a factory worker need to know calculus and Shakespeare? He needs to read the clock and timetables, be on time, wake up in the morning early enough to be punctual, ...

Likewise higher education isn't about the thinks you learn. It is about learning methods to learn. If you can learn the nitrogen cycle, you can learn our scrum statuses. If you can hand in your homework in time, you can keep our deadlines.

This isn't to say the system is good, but it helps to understand it when you want to criticize it.

I think it's technically the same in Germany but indent doesn't matter that much so it's illegal even if you claim you didn't know. Also owning it is also illegal I think. When you stream it, you don't own it.

And honestly I don't see the benefit of downloading it. Do I have to wait till the whole season is out or do I torrent each episode separately? Neither sounds fun. I can just click the episode I want to watch and watch it. Why bother to download it as a whole?

In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?

Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point

Let's just agree that it's an odd number

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 21 points 4 months ago (5 children)

But 1+1 is 5. I'm sick and tried of people pretending 1+1=1. The sum is always bigger than each of their addends. How do people not get that

Don't open it! It's a trap!
