Being a hateful and harmful individual, damaging society - the correct society - is a choice and one you don't have to make.

I'll continue to use glass bottles with metal caps then. But I've never seen a glass bottle with a plastic cap

We'll build our own World Trade Centre, with blackjack and hookers! Also we won't cause any Middle-Easterners to become terrorists and come and fly planes into it

Did you choose to pay with installments for the laptop, is that why they'll get more money from you? For the privilege of not having the product...

Except from that one time that one guy deemed that every demographic he disliked was damaging society by their existence and deserving of not only banishment, but horrific death.

IMO banishing and rejecting certain people must be accepted, in order to reduce the harm they cause. Genocide supporters, anti-BIPOC and anti-LGBTQIAA+ radicals, anti-women podcasters, tyrannical leaders of their local civilisations. Jail might work, but a complete reform of what is deemed criminal is also needed. The current English-speaking governments are not modern enough. We need a law based on morality.

I used to smoke and I would stamp it out, although I have never lived in a dry region. I have heard from several places that it is very, very easy to start a fire. A ember can travel hundreds of metres, a single spark could well ignite dry grass. The recent Cali wildfires had such embers taken with the wind, which was a cause of the rapid spread in the Palisades iirc.

Edit: report

I believe in a free internet. In this case children are far more at risk of life-alterating trauma from their personal surroundings than anything they could see on the internet with themes relating to content intended for mature audiences. References to porn are much tamer than references to and normalising sexual assault and murder, looking at you YouTube. Here is a restriction-free https://youtu.be/HSOeo64RnTQ

On the side of content creators, this means no published written work is safe, meaning if one doesn't want to contribute to LLMs or have their art plagiarised in some way, they can't submit it anywhere that the public will easily find it. The best option now is sites that have the latest AI scrape/robot defense, for everything produced or shared digitally.

Fuck Meta and all the other corporations including the DOJ. America is the birthplace of evil and the world, while still connected to it, suffers.

A life on the seas is criminal, yes, but not wrong. Criminal simply means 'against the interests of the state'. And the state is shit.

Well yeah, 'social' means 'gathering of people', it doesn't even take brains made of moss to understand that. Just like Antifa means anti fascist, and therefore a good message to support. The proof is in the very language used.

You only get to know if you've looked at the game manuals of old, and seen them annotated. I still refer to them as left/right stick in

It's a word. I'm getting broken down by the amount of censorship on the internet, particularly Youtube. Their guidelines only state to withhold any uncensored cursing or content deemed only suitable for mature audiences for the first fifteen seconds, to avoid being tagged as mature and the video viewcount and profit largely reduced. A very small price to pay for freedom of human expression and life. But channels take this much further than the relatively mild corporation's rules, such as:

  • Censoring or obscuring all expletives deemed by Christianity to be foul
  • Censoring or obscuring all words describing a sensitive subject (e.g. rape, sex, sexual, abuse, murder, suicide, kill)
  • Censoring any moment in which a being is subject to any form of impact, whether accidental, assault or police abuse

These actively block and suppress conversing about real issues, leading to more harm, more assault, and more silent victims. Every time the word suicide is censored signifies to me that another person has committed suicide because they weren't heard. This has been proven to be correlation.

Censorship of human life, experience and expression not only insults my personal ideals of life and freedom, but actually causes more harm, and I cannot forgive that.

What makes swear words so offensive? It’s not their meaning or even their sound. Is language itself a red herring here?

Censorship of words like ‘rape’ and ‘sexual assault’ on social media hurts victims more than it stops bad actors

Clean repost. Original post was removed, so no link. Story for reference.

They're calling it a Glacial Glass Squid. Turns out, though, that this guy is more closely related to our version of a Crabsquid.

~~My network has reset several times and I've narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack. Never the same IP source, all hitting the specific port I use for incoming qBt traffic, shutting down the client doesn't help, router is getting 10-20 requests per second for idk, several hours. Is there anything I can do about this?~~

Edit: Thanks everyone, it's apparently not an attack and my router just sucks aha. It was overheating so I took its coat off. My router's log was filled with "DoS(SyN-Flooding)" messages, and according to Wikipedia that's a DDoS attack.

I wrote a script to run with Node JS that near perfectly organises (renames and moves) torrented movies. It is designed to work in Linux, to transfer to Emby folder convention. I was working on making a TV show version, maybe merging the two, and porting it back to Windows where I first built the script, but I recently discovered the *arrs do it all. Still, if anyone wants a script that does its best (with guidance and thorough logging), I've stored it here.

Edit: For other reasons I built another script that can clean up an existing media directory, deleting files with any extension the user chooses (subs, images, thumbs and movies with multiple qualities leaving the best one). I've added it to the same repo. This script was more of a WIP, but it gets the job done and includes a help argument.
