five 9’s or two nines or maybe even one nine. maybe one nine.

This is the first time I hear this expression, what does it mean?

Lots of the older rainbow sixs. Las Vegas had a fun campaign but a lot of the earlier ones were just scenarios

Copyrights and IP laws don’t only come into effect if profit is made. Fan products are usually tolerated by companies because it’s free advertising and fans get angry when it does get taken down.

When a fan product starts making money, it’s usually because it directly competes with the original IP and then they act. Even then, Etsy has thousands of shops with copyrighted content but the small profit loss doesnt justify the loss of reputation for the companies.

That being said, it’s the user who uploads it who is at fault and not the tool used to create it.

Ultimately, I think it’s the platforms that let users upload copyrighted content and celebrity likenesses that should be at fault. Take for example the Taylor Swift debacle. An image generator was used to create the images sure but twitter chose to let it float on their website for a whole day even though it was most likely reported in the first 5 minutes.

There’s also the fact that if we start demanding AI doesn’t use copyrighted content, it kills the open source scene and cements Google and Microsoft’s grip on our economy as we move towards an AI driven society.

Inside you there are two wolves

Your body is a resource. Don’t throw it away or bury it, give it to a gothy craftsman in exchange for half the jewelry made from it going to your family. It literally triples your chances of acquiring haunting privileges.

Apply anyways and waste their time too

Bro, you had near misses because you were using your phone while driving. Don’t do that.

If you have to type in a destination, pull over or wait for a light

Red scare

Anything other than writing strongly worded emails is going to cause some form of economic damage, even just peaceful protesting with signs.

It’s about being heard and forcing the governments to ignore the billions in oil bribes they have already received. You can’t do that by sitting at home and making angry faces.

It doesn’t have to be an extreme like that. It would send a strong message If every gas station had to replace their LCD screens every week, or the windows of their headquarters.

But I guess non-action and bootlicking while we wait for our thoroughly bribed politicians to do nothing is better.

“The Nazis are killing millions of people. Lets kill some more!”

What the fuck, no there isn’t. Are you actually implying most people that are interested in a mars colony are climate change deniers?

It goes both ways though, anyone critical of US imperialism is quickly called a tankie. I’m happy Ukraine is getting help but it’s annoying I constantly have to state that the moment I want to talk shit about the us military. Any kind of talk is becoming seriously toxic and the ones that are most vocal about hexbear users are usually just as bad.

Screaming tankie at the top of your lungs is just as cringe as screaming lib imo

Cutting out huge swaths of users at once just stifles the content including the small percentage of actually quality content. You can’t pick out and keep the good stuff when you cut off whole instances. It also brings down the engagement in your own content.

Take your favorite small forum and now split it according to political opinion, now split it again according to if users pirate movies(lol). Your forum is now dead since no one likes speaking into the void.

We should be treasuring the connections, not putting up walls because it makes the circle jerk easier.

Oh, I get you. My bad.

Yes, and after the 100$, they can listen to the radio. Op has a brick unless he pays more every month.
