the most important this to have when pirating is common sense

We disagree actually, it's to have well written tutorials and not to rely on the idea that people can just know things from nothing.

We get the frustration in this meme but honestly, we never liked this kind of attitude in tech spaces, it's exclusionary, gatekeepy and harms people. We understand not wanting to answer every single question but some well written tutorials etc to link to are better than having everyone starting in ignorance amd getting in trouble or being harmed for it.

Especially if said tutorials keep up to date and add more answers to people's questions over time.

After all, being helpful actually helps the pirate community in that more people seed, so helping others is actually win-win. There's really no downsides whereas expecting others to know everything or being rude stops this from happening and thus is a loss for all of us.

When you make legal recourse unavailable, you make... other methods inevitable.

Nice argument senator, why don't you back it up with a source?! My source is that I... licks you.

Yet people honestly believe the BBC isn't transphobic... somehow.

Just let us buy the files DRM free. Why is that so hard? The music industry did it. The games industry did it. Why won't TV or Film?

Please try to use a version of the meme not featuring an abuser please, like the sayori one or geordi la forge one.

who lived together...

so what you're saying is they were room mates?

[Sincere] As relationship anarchists though, even though we understand the homophobia of calling obvious lovers friends we don't entirely hate it. Labels are, after all, just labels. What people agree to and what actions etc they choose to agree to is up to them.

For example one of our partners and us call each other both friends and partners, so the agreements and what we're okay with are more important than the label, at least to us.

Not really, there are different kinds of love, most people only think about romantic love though.

Both.

Yeah, the whole thing is liberal and doesn't go far enough,

I'll go further than this and say that true security is where everybody has support enough to not want to steal your shit, hack you etc.

Yeah corporations and governments are still a problem, for now, but both of the above parties would be far more secure if they did mutual aid, supported progrms to help the impoverished etc etc.

Basically having a collective approach to security and not such a myopic individualistic one.

um, what? I'm talking about Drake. Drake is an abuser.

Strings on the other hand, are nonbinary.

Agreed, this feels more toxic than wholesome and thus should not be here.

Exactly why I dislike D&D, it's more about combat and math. I prefer systems that are less math heavy and more narrative/roleplay focused.

Fucking cowards.

Happy to stand up for a genocide and weapons manufacturers and uses law and cops to back up their stance, they're the real terrorists.

We'd be better off without the lot of them.

Many colours, same fascists.

🎶 This is what it feels like!

I think that's up to the victim/survivor.

I do not think that reducing it down to always throw the person out no matter what is a good solution. I think punishment to that degree should always be a last resort, and we should work on dealing with the systems that allow such things to happen and give such people therapy, and make sure the variables such as entitlement, the patriarchy, and abuse etc do not happen.

We should give people the emotional tools to deal with rejection and safe people/spaces they can go to without judgement if they have done things or want to do things so they can work through it.

At the same time I believe we should also give victims/survivors (or potential ones) more control and power in this system so they can fight such people off and not be punished for it.

My goal and desire is for a society where people are taught not to do such things in the first place and gave the ability to deal with no etc. However, in the mean time it's clear a transition is needed and punishing and locking people up clearly does not prevent it, so let's try something better which might have a chance of reducing and eventually eliminating such actions.
