Should be free. It’s ridiculous anyone should have to pay for it at all.

Go find a hedge fund and tax the fuck out of just that one and you’ll probably get enough money to offset costs for the entire year for all Americans.

Little bit of hyperbole in there but stand by my point.

An extremely well thought out and researched rebuttal. I have nothing further to say other than I appreciate you sharing your opinion. I still slightly disagree overall but I value the very strong points you bought to the table here. Very refreshing.

The issue is that there is not always a physical element to addiction. You can become addicted to anything that gives you a positive dopamine boost. It’s why porn and food can become addictive to people.

I get what you’re going for here but almost anything can be considered a “drug” if we are just using addictive and bad for you as the qualifiers. Even drinking too much water can kill you.

That’s very interesting. I wasn’t sure if I was overthinking it or not. I appreciate the honest answer.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question about it. Thank you.

I have a question. Liking animalistic characters that have fur makes you a furry but what if you’re only attracted to lizards? Is it its own thing or does it nest somewhere under the furry fetish in general?

I can agree to banning most single use items unless they are absolutely necessary.

Awww so cute. They act just like people do 🤣

There can be nothing new or original out of AI because all of its inputs are stolen from what already exists.

Ummm don’t humans learn exactly the same way? Pretty sure some random person wrote the textbook I read. Should I cite them every time I come go with a new idea based off of that knowledge?

Also, people steal shit all the time. I think everyone is looking for excuses to be upset.

Hook line and sinker. Asshole.

I love how you attempted to sidestep all my extremely valid criticism… once again.

You are all over this Fediverse telling people to subscribe to that service. Own what you are.

No you won’t shill. You’d spend your money on Spotify so you can pay them to “rip their tracks”. Like hitting the record button on the tape player while listening to the radio station makes you some kind of fucking hacker.

I see through your bullshit. Why are you trying so hard to convince people you are something you clearly aren’t?

What did you expect? You completely sidestepped my biggest criticism and attacked the lesser issues.

My biggest problem is you’re justifying horrible behavior because it suits your needs. I don’t need to justify anything.

If I do something bad it’s intentional. Same with when I do something good. There isn’t a grey area for me. We’re obviously cut from different clothes there.

Why can’t you just admit you’re shilling for them? It’s what you’re doing. It’s what everyone does from time to time. Paid or not if you’re pushing a service you’re shilling for that company. However if you’re going to shill, shill something like Mullvad VPN or other reputable companies and services.

You’re part of the overall problem and you’re trying to justify abuse through convenience. That doesn’t make you a shill, it makes you an awful person too. You have a moral choice where you obtain your illegally gotten gains and I refuse to use Spotify in capacity. They won’t get my data or my traffic and I don’t need their shitty mp3 files. I can get my own even if there are so few seeders.

You’re trying too hard at this point, shill.

My favorite Q episodes were on voyager when he became mortal for the first time. I love how falling asleep scared him absolutely shitless.

The other was the Q civil war. I just like they used an American civil war setting to help them interpret the fighting.

Looks like I’m behind the curve on this one. Maybe we’ll get a Doki Doki Literature Club Distro next. That one is hopefully niche enough to have not been invented yet 🤣

My bad. I thought you were joking 😅
