If I was Iran, I’d close the strait to US/Western traffic FOREVER. Something something don’t negotiate with terrorists. And threaten to cut off any country that sells oil to the West, you know, like they’re doing with Cuba. Then again I’m definitely not qualified nor have the desire to lead any country, let alone Iran.

Feel bad for the metals and petrochemicals that were defiled into that murder machine.

Lol the capitalist countries who have their own oil, like Canada, might as well not have it as far as their citizens are concerned because the prices are still skyrocketing.

“Hey don’t blame us, that’s just the market price now. What are we supposed to do? Not cash in on the global resource crisis?”

I concede that there are some problematic takes in that thread, but they also don’t seem to me like actionable threats or anything that could conceivably incite real world acts. I just see people who are angry at the current events venting their anger with little prior thinking through of the full implications. Not defending that, but… actually I tried to opine further but I feel I’m not knowledgable enough to talk about this, I personally wouldn’t make those comments so I haven’t really thought about justifying nor condemning people who do.

Got references you can point to? Most of the threads I read specifically want them to face justice for their crimes. Which is part of human rights. Getting the death penalty after being found guilty of participating in literal genocide is more than fair and doesn’t violate human rights.

Also, people say hyperbolic shit when they’re angry. And this war has understandably made a lot of people extremely angry. Not defending them if they really are calling for taking away human rights, but those people won’t be the actual ones deciding or even influencing what happens to anyone after the war so your tone policing is not doing much to help.

You know this is a throwaway meme post right? It’s a low effort dunk on objectively horrible people and nothing else. I’m genuinely wondering if this might be a cultural/language misinterpretation, but it’s worth noting that hyperbole and taking talking points to their extremes is a pretty common trope in English meme culture. No one means it literally. No one is actually saying they’re taxonomically not human. No one is saying they don’t deserve human rights. What rights did you think we want to take away from them?

Capitalists: “Under communism you’re just a pawn for the State to use with no regard to how you feel!”

Capitalism: “Is curing patients a sustainable business model?” “Let’s just deny every health insurance claim regardless of validity, they’re too poor to sue us anyway.” “Don’t need to fix the exploding fuel tank on our new car, the cost of retooling the production line is greater than the expected wrongful death settlements we’ll have to pay.”

America: Literally rains death on other countries.

Americans: How dare you say death to America! You’re the real problem with the world!

Which “human right” did you promote? Not getting dunked on in a meme community isn’t a human right. Literally no one here is doing anything to anyone other than insult literal fucking genocidal settlers, which they have every right to.

Also, I said zionist sympathizer. You sympathized with zionists. Would you have tone policed Polish people calling the Nazis inhuman monsters in the 1940s as well?

I agree, not for the same zionist sympathesizing reason you do, but because I fucking HATE the trope of brushing off what humans are capable of doing and painting this artificially idealized picture of what humans are “supposed” to be.

You don’t get to say those people aren’t humans to absolve yourself. You don’t get to pick and choose which people you consider “human” to make yourself feel less guilty about being human. You have everything in common with them, as do I. “Oh those people committing unspeakable atrocities weren’t acting with humanity!” Shut the FUCK up. If anything, committing unspeakable atrocities against other humans is the most human thing possible. Humans suck. And the sooner we realize that the sooner we can actually start working to meaningfully move past our species’ horrific legacy beyond useless lip service.

but the troops should have been warmed not to expose themselves to danger like this.

Wat? Pretty sure they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for the fucking army.

Thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts: Yeah she’s gonna die.

Prayers: Hey God, remember to warm up the brimstone for this one!

Just block and move on

Why haven’t you? Take your own advice.

Tl;DR

Yet, Dolby’s lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the District of Delaware [PDF] alleges that AV1 leverages technologies that Dolby has patented and has not agreed to license for free and without receiving royalties. The filing reads:

[AOMedia] does not own all patents practiced by implementations of the AV1 codec. Rather, the AV1 specification was developed after many foundational video coding patents had already been filed, and AV1 incorporates technologies that are also present in HEVC. Those technologies are subject to existing third-party patent rights and associated licensing obligations.

SHUT THE FUCK UP about privilege when you’re literally trying to justify slaughtering people in much, much poorer countries. Orders of magnitude more people in the countries America targets experience a life far worse than the worst life in America, because of America. You don’t get to kill other people to feed yourself. Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m hungry and I may be homeless soon.

So you’re okay with inflicting that same suffering and much worse on other people in countries already with a much lower quality of life than you to escape that fate yourself?

Can’t wait for the same people who put “I did that” stickers with Biden at gas pumps to do the same with Trump. They will, right? because they apply their outrage of resource prices consistently, right? Riiiiiight???
