  • Yeah because the GOP has been sooooooo pro-union in all of the times they’ve ever taken office.

    Who can forget the time in the 2000s, when they took away or thought about taking away Overtime.

    Who can forget the times when corporations actively worked against their workers and the GOP with every opportunity they’ve had, were dead quiet for those workers while simultaneously endorsing the actions of those businesses.

    Who can forget the time when the GOP shot down the 9/11 Health Bill, basically saying “FUCK YOU” to Firefighters and every emergency personnel involved with that?


  • We’ve lost some big ones this year alone, hadn’t we? I recall the early half of the year, that we lost some huge names or names that just shut down. Uloz flipped, still around but not what it once was. There was a lot of big names just gone all in this year alone.

    But I see all of this as multi-pronged.

    Aside from what everyone else has said. I will add that there could be people slipping into pirate ranks as a shill for these corps, gathering all that they can, slipping out to report.

    There also could be loud-mouthed pirates, ruining it for everyone because they’re loud-mouths, gotta spread the shit all the way around. That gets the attention of the corps that just hover over and count the days at that point.


  • Yeah I mean, that will be really pulling the veil away from people’s eyes right?

    So say that piracy is exterminated in a theoretical scenario, subscription prices now cost $20 - $25 per service just for standard. Tickets cost $19 per person. Rentals will cost $7. Copies still sold in retail stores and online hover $20 ~ $30.

    Now, piracy is gone, we have all of these increased expenses. Who do they honestly expect are going to still want to be paying that much?

    People will see all along that this is just simply an optional luxury to have, they can’t have it, they stop paying and take their money somewhere else.

    And does anyone think the executives and MAFIAA will finally admit that they’ve been in the wrong all this time?

    No, they’ll just suck eachother’s dicks while proclaiming that piracy still needed to go away.













  • I might sound a little in the minority of this.

    Everyone should sit down and ask themselves - ‘Do I Really Need This?’

    I can only speak on my behalf. I have over, roughly estimating, 1,500 games both purchased and pirated. Do I really need a subscription such as GamePass right now when I have so much already? No, I really don’t.

    I’ve pirated thousands of songs over the years, do I really need Spotify’s subscription? No, I do not and I’m glad that I don’t.

    So on and so forth. I decide what I need or want based on the current lifestyle and quality of life in my current state. I do not need over 40 subscriptions sapping me every month and it’s only gotten easier because I combat FOMO, I evaluate what else is out there that serves as an alternative that isn’t subscription based.

    These days when I look at people paying a subscription model for Microsoft Office, I shake my head and have that kind of chuckle that makes you feel sorry over someone doing that. Because really, I still use older versions of Microsoft Office and LibreOffice to handle whatever modern features that there is to handle. Not a lot has really changed to warrant subscribing to such a model.

    A lot of subscription models can be pressy to people who aren’t knowledgeable unless they take advantage of what’s out there.



  • _Keeping an eye on Harris’ stance on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Sanders made sure to bring that up, saying, “I think, in all fairness to the vice president, she’s been the candidate for all of one month. And it’s been a hell of a month. You have to organize the convention, select a vice presidential campaign, get out on the campaign trail. So, they are still working through their policies.”

    At least we have a candidate actively working on their polices currently as they’re campaigning.

    As opposed to listening to an aging, diaper-shitting, run-a-mouth opponent going on golfing tours and probably bitching about how deer piss would purify reservoirs or something he had a two second thought of before forgetting.
