Nah sorry USA is the global empire. Of course everyone in the western world is paying very, very close attention to what you are doing and of course everyone can and should speak their mind.

That all said this just isn’t a smart, well thought out commentary. This is just piling on the “conservatives bad” meme. Low effort divisive nonsense. Just imagine posting a meme basically saying “US conservatives = worse than USSR” and then right below that writing “Can’t say much for the conservatives in the US part”. Oh the cognitive dissonance! Don’t try to get into us culture war op. Why would you. Chill.

Yet another problem the free market will surely solve aaaaany minute now.

“See when I slap you in the face that’s actually a really nice thing of me to do. Because if I don’t slap you in the face I’d kick you in the groin really hard instead. Do you want to get kicked in the groin? No? That’s what I thought.”

Do you think vinyls are replacing Spotify and other music streaming? They are not even competing on the same playing field. Vinyls are mostly collectors items today, they are for sure not the default way to actually listen to music. And they will never be that again.

I’m actually a fan of physical media! I just don’t think they will be a widely adopted way to consume media ever again. My DVD collection is sitting on the shell untouched since many many years.

Also, I’m going to bury it. Yes I know previous poster said us pack animals don’t do that but who gives a shit I am not part of your system. I also know this deck is built out of solid wood planks so of course I am not actually burying anything, I’m just scratching up your deck really badly. But this I will do and nothing can stop me.

Yeah but physical copies of movies are not really on a comeback, but piracy on the other hand is.

Old dude should be titled “piracy” instead.

Interestingly, the commentary on Article 85 of the Third Geneva Convention includes “the wearing of civilian clothing by members of the armed forces for purposes of disguise” as an example of a war crim

Bonus points because guess where I read that?

It seems like some things just don’t change.

Joke aside this is not really a chinese propaganda picture is it?

Please do forget about .ape. Proprietary, obscure format. Only advantage is that under some circumstances it can get you higher compression rates than flac. But it’s way more resource intensive to decode so that advantage is really more theoretical. Use flac, forget ape.
