Remember that one dude that got caught swindling billions of dollars for his crypto scheme and it was a big thing for a week and then they just decided to drop all felony charges against him and he walked out of court with a smirk on his face haha you remember that guy what was his name Bankman or something haha yeah those guys with the funny last names are allowed to do whatever they want but if you're $10 short on your taxes the IRS will kill your dog haha

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

The deplatforming question is an interesting question to me. If we set aside legitimate targetted harassment, intimidation and threats, I cannot work out good first principles for deplatforming on social media. For one, if you don't like what someone is saying, you can just ignore them, block them, dont follow them or whatever. Deplatforming is only done to limit other peoples access to a certain individuals ideas. In the case of children I could understand having parental controls on what ideas they come into contact with since they are not yet mature in their thinking. But for adults I can't come up with a non-paternalistic reason why I should be allowed to limit what other people see online and I also don't trust other people to make these types of decisions for me.
I’m thinking of trying to learn piano again.
I played piano, sax and violin at different times when I was younger but hated practicing because I’d get embarrassed when my mom came to listen.
Maybe I can actually learn and practice some so I can play something nice for her this time
Just finished playing SIGNALIS. Probably one of the first times I took significant interest in a games world lore. Despite being short I would recommend it to any old school survival horror fans or lovecraft enthusiasts.
Fantastic atmosphere as well

Something that people don't seem to appreciate is that unless we get justice for the creation and leaking of COVID, it'll happen again. Why wouldn't it? It was so incredibly profitable, for pharma and "essential businesses".
All the evidence is there. It's like catching a serial killer and they say "well the victim is already dead, so what difference does it make at this point to lock me up? It's just more suffering." So the police agree and let them go, then later suprisedpikachu.jpg
I'd think the notion of "the next COVID" would motivate people, but truth and confronting powerful interests makes them uncomfortable.
