FWIW, probably not a lot of devs willing to tarnish their reputation (well at least tarnish it THAT much) they pay (unlikely very well), and they probably figure people are going to do it anyway (on their own hardware, or on a competitor) so they might as well make money off of it while they can.

And they definitely use it themselves.

Ok so now I’m confused entirely. Does that mean leeching I don’t need to do a port forward, but seeding I do?

Which means if I want to leech to get the file then seed when I’m not heavily using my network I’m sort of out of luck?

And they don’t care what filthy shit you watch from home so long as they don’t have to see it

Idk why but the simplicity of it has me convinced and so far it works well.

That sink is a vampire, don’t let it in

And now I’m on a VPN because if they’re just gonna cut people off for accusing of piracy they’re gonna have to cut off everyone with a VPN.

TBH I should have been behind a VPN before

That’s… A fair point. That’s probably the best argument I’ve heard so far.

Even then, it will just slow research down and set us back. Scientists won’t stop sciencing, and it certainly won’t lead to discoveries they want.

The system they’re describing helps but the people are the ones that matter, not the institutions.

My point is no matter their approach, they will not be able to control the outcome of scientific research. The anti-intellectual fails to understand this. It’s the whole of their being.

That’s the weirdest part of trying to change the “system of science.” It’s not a system, it’s a process, it’s rigorous, controlled, and peer reviewed.

What Hitler enabled was psychopaths being allowed to practice torture and murder.

I wish I could just make the music I hear in my head.

Then that would require learning one of those fancy sample things with keyboards and knobs and sliders and buttons I can’t remember the name of.

Course it doesn’t help that I can write music and all the fancy DAS stuff is basically magic.

Then I wouldn’t have to spend money to listen to music that just doesn’t hit right

I do in fact want to “avoid it” for legal purposes.

“It would become a ghost town.”

Of rich people. Sounds like a good, maybe even desired, outcome.

I was worried he was going to be like that with Harry Potter. When I started reading it to him he fell in love with it almost right away. I have to cut off the time I spend on it because he’ll just beg me to keep reading all night if I could.

Spicy cats are kind of scary tho

Especially when they’re not very far away from you without a cage or glass between it and you

Yeah me too. I’m just thinking it over when I can introduce it to my boy. He’s still too young, but probably a couple of years. I think I was like 11

Does Holy Grail not resonate with Nerd Boys now?

Well let’s see, known cat breeds:

Orange, Tuxedo, Standard Issue, Void, Siamese (my parents had a flame point siamese that was weird), naked wrinkly cat, Fluffball.

Think that about covers it.

Edit: Oh yes, Torties and Calicos, and I forgot one I love: Tactical Issue! Some people think they’re just sneaky cats. Nope! Grey and white stripes that blend in well with urban environments

I always called it Hellmo, but the meme is actually called “Elmo Rise.”

Hellmo is way better imo

Yeah, IDK if I have the energy to get abs.

I’ve got definition on my arms, back and legs, but the abs require effort I can’t give yet. Plus an additional 15 lbs of fat and probably need all the excess skin removed.

As it stands the lifting and cardio are a lot. Changing it to HIIT 200+ minute a week is just not going to happen lol
