"Who cares if these people go to jail?!?!?"

Stop. Listen to yourself. You are saying that neither you, nor anyone you consider intelligent, cares if pedophiles are punished for their crimes. Your desire to feel mentally superior to the rest of us has clouded your reasoning and made you lose touch with morality. Touch grass.

Who in fuck are you trying to trick into boosting your bullshit images? Write your own goddamn alt text.

We check it. LLM output earns you a block, no matter who you are.

And be thankful it stops there: people are way too tolerant here. Soon this network will smell like most of the Web if we don't learn proper hygiene.

Nullifying the will/choice of voters isn't always a bad thing. Civil rights protections for many different marginalized groups have generally not been popular with majorities of voters when they've been instituted. If that is left up to a majority vote, the bigoted majority usually reaches for violence and abuse as their go-to electoral preferences.

Don't want to pay for [INSERT NAME OF STREAMING SERVICE OR CABLE CHANNEL HERE]? Now you can pirate their content directly from the internet the way Almighty Ba'al intended.

Seriously, ask me how. I am possessed of the old magics, the ones we lost when "streaming" became a thing. Not only that, I'm not guilty about it at all. I'm far too busy surviving to give a fuck anymore. I will share this eldritch arcana with you because the world is a garbage fire and none of us are going to make it out alive. You shouldn't give your money to Netflix or Disney or HBO. Ever.

I'm not philosophical about this. I genuinely am out of fucks to give about piracy and I want you to have my knowledge at rock-bottom prices ($0.00 is pretty rock-bottom).

If you lurch awkwardly into my mentions to tell me that I'm a bad person who is stealing money from your children's mouths, you should know that the CEO of Disney made a shit-ton of money last year. Argue with him.
