What if you have both?

I'm a power user, I don't even want to upgrade or have to reinstall because of how much shit I've gone through to get it to this point. Easily a decade old install and very active use. I would lose so much random stuff if I ever had to upgrade or switch. Windows is shit and Microsoft are total bastards for that, there's no denying it. But for me, it is not so simple as one being better or worse. Maybe if I were in a stage to switch I'd consider it, but still windows is not without its own offerings/positives.

My enemy's enemy is.... ALSO MY ENEMY! You're your own enemy, congratulations!

Might be better to just let it go entirely.

UwU

He's so useless!

We've KNOWN he's useless!

Get RID OF THIS GUY he SUCKS

Removing all copyright protections would essentially be a reset and would ultimately be a negative for society, even compared to now.

Now, on the trajectory that we're making, we're in a bad place and heading to a much worse place very quickly. We have to do something.

Getting rid of copyright protections entirely is not it. You must have protections for privacy and investment protections that encourage innovation. But where we are right now is entirely too far.

You must also consider AI as a pressing issue in ethics, with a WAY higher priority than copyright protections, but also with copyright protections as a variable.

Nothing is ever simple. Anybody who says anything is simple is manipulating you, and even the truth to that statement, itself, is complicated.

When is ignorance an acceptable excuse?

The point of what? Life? Humanity? Existing? Existence?

I get the anti-anti-sexuality, but doesn't this boil life down to.... Not even procreation, but ... Sex?

What about asexual people? What about... Wonderful moments or beautiful things or cake or socializing beyond sex? What about WORDS and complex thought and ideas and puns and coffee and art and adrenaline and naps and music?

I can't say I entirely disagree with you, but I also don't agree, primarily because I'm not sure exactly what the hill you're dying on is. Can you elaborate a bit to help me/us understand exactly what you're trying to say?

Well the problem with trying to subdivide humans is that

A) it's actually really really hard to do, so hard in fact that it's impossible and is a pseudoscience B) it basically always results in comparison. Which gets bad REALLY quickly because suddenly there is a better or worse, an inferior and superior.

I'm not saying we aren't different, I'm not saying that.

But, as far as species, we ARE all the same. You, your sister, your neighbor, your great great great grandfather. We all have our differences and generic differences, but they're infinitesimally small, we are just VERY good at telling the differences because we're so used to staring at the same face over and over.

There's just so much crossover and mixing and volatility. People can change from one to the other or halfway and stuff, there's no clarity. Like, me, for example: I'm a mix that people look at me and get very wrong 95% of the time. And then if I have kids with somebody that doesn't have the exact same mixed heritage with me, it's like... Wtf do you even call me?

And then if you learn some anthropology and learn that long thin limbs and people are from hot climates close to the equator, and short ratioed people are from further (surface area to mass ratio, keeping warmth) away from the equator where it's cold.

Like.... You can be vague and descriptive a little about it, but when you realize that reality is just that we're all the same species, with no limits to interbreeding, it makes so much more sense.

Let's say you take a pale-ass white guy and strand them near the equator for ten years outdoors. Does that guy suddenly become a different breed or race or whatever you want to call it? No.. it's the same person, the same species, even if he looks different - he just adapted and his body is like "holy fuck it's hot and I'm trying my best to not get skin cancer and the right amount of vitamins from the sun".

And same thing for brown skinned people (let's just say Mexican natives). You take a young couple with darker brown skin, and move them to norway or somewhere cold with VERY little sun (latitude). They are going to lose melatonin in their skin and become paler. Let's say they have kids and you inbreed them for a few generations. They will get progressively more pale, and start to look more adapted to the region, likely even take on regional issues.

And the reason why is because we're all the same type of monkey. (Not actually monkey because that's a different offshoot, but primate; we're great apes!).
