Meh if you have $200k+ in sales last year then you have enough money to pay the most important vendor of your product

Very disappointing that this happened in a mostly developed nation.

If the spider is in your home without consent I support trapping it and kicking it out.

If the spider or mosquito is trying to bite you, then I support your self defense actions much like if a human was trying to bite your arm you’d be in the right to use force.

I do agree that it’s bullshit to pressure actors into signing away their likeness and knew this was a main feature, but SAG is joining the wave that WAG started and I don’t support increasing their residuals. WAG and SAG are basically the cool kids club of landed gentry. I believe people should be able to form unions to pursue self interests, but that doesn’t mean I blindly support every union strike.

Regarding union strikes, I personally don’t get why sanitation workers don’t strike to get a lot more money, they certainly deserve it.

Personally I think actors and writers are overpaid, but I support their right to strike. I also support the studios avoiding the strike by avoiding all SAG actors and other guilds because like I don’t think they’re that much better than non-union members

The community may be of interest to non-diehard fans but did you ever consider that you are of no interest to the community?

I agree with your point that it’s possible but not applicable to 99.9% of people

Replace cow with human and see if it passes the test.

Is it ethical to give a human a scarf? Yes. Well it’s also ethical to give a cow a scarf.

Is it ethical to shoot a human in the head? No? Well it’s also unethical to shoot a cow in the head.

Two things.

1 - It’s the backyard chicken problem. Yes your mom doesn’t harm them, but when producing at scale people care less about not harming them

2 - Replacing their honey with sugar is not good because it lacks the vitamins and nutrients that honey has. It’s very possible that you don’t take all the honey so they are never harmed by the actions, but when farming at scale people will absolutely push the limit.

Wikipedia Foundation actually spends more money giving grants to other projects/orgs than they spend on hosting costs, and that’s still like 20% of their budget!! It’s so crazy

Can we afford to buy freedom.us?

When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too

and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated

Oh I remember that!

MrBeast explained in a podcast that the subscription is so only other youtubers bother to see it, he doesn’t want to bore casual followes with the stats he posts.

Wefwef is amazing, how can someone make it so quickly while the reddit app sucks?
