Can we drop the childish nicknames for MAGA? If you want to mock them while you’re at it MAGAts works perfectly fine while not sounding like something you’d see in a primary school fight.

It’s the (what you consider to be) “inane shit” part that’s the problem here, not the medium. I personally enjoy history podcasts, but more generally there’s no shortage of non-inane podcasts out there.

Have you thought about the sheer retardation of modern copyright law today?

Basically I don’t believe in intellectual property in the first place, so I consider the whole debate moot. It becomes obviously absurd when you try to think of how to apply the rulings of actual property. For example if I have an OC and “lend” it to someone, what? Am I not allowed to draw it anymore? Will they sue me? How do I return a stolen OC? Are we really going to consider piracy a major sin (stealing)? Accepting IP as property would also imply that it never ends, and literally nobody does that.

Intellectual property should be seen for what it is: A system thought up by the British to make the rich richer that has about as much Islamic legitimacy as, say, segregation.

Edit: Also you’re generally not going to get many replies from Muslims here seeing as the number of Muslims on the Threadverse is in the single digits.

Probably because all the criminals are too busy posting about scary Muslim knife attacks on X.

Maybe it’s not enough for them to buy a new car? I mean it’s 6 years old; I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

Why, though?

Eh, just pirate it.

Proton VPN has a free plan with barely any restrictions.

White Protestants Evangelicals and Mormons do, outside those it’s not nearly as clear-cut.

Mostly for the meme probably, but theoretically money could be a reason.

Have you played the original Hollow Knight? I don’t think you need to in order to play Silksong, but it’ll help you know what to expect and it’s also just a great game.

I mean… This is bad, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the OP.

You killed Gary :(.

They claim to teach college level Spanish and French and have research to back that up, but I’m not sure of its accuracy.

I think but an not sure that China does that too.

Gestures in eminent domain.

Should go on !actuallyinfuriating.

That’s not what that means. Separation of church and state simply means that the law doesn’t favor one religion over another. What you’re thinking of is the French formulation, known as laicite, which—you guessed it—is a French thing. It’s also based on some pretty problematic ideas that lead and have led to some pretty problematic results, so yeah.

For a non-French example, he’s the Australian constitution on the topic:

The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

Nothing at all about lawmakers publicly adhering to a religion.

I hate to side with Google, but intellectual property and especially patent law is stupid.
