This is the second time in this thread someone has responded to me with “end of story” or “full stop” as if those statements are some kind of trump card that removes any room for debate or changes the fact that what you said is an opinion.
They will, and I don’t think that sentiment is very helpful.
This makes me think 2026 midterms could go very well.
Sometimes things don’t necessarily evolve to have a specific benefit. They just happen, and don’t get selected out because they’re not a detriment to the species.
I pirate if something is otherwise unavailable simply because I want to. But I don’t believe I have a right to whatever I want. It’s pure entitlement. I will almost always go the paid route if I can.
I disagree. I believe artists and creators should have the right to control the distribution of their work. There’s plenty of room for criticism of the way we have it structured, the role of profit, whether companies should have the same rights, etc. But I don’t think every person has an intrinsic right to anything that anyone else has ever created.
So I put on a mask to hide my identity and take the cookie if I want it, but without believing that I am entitled to it.
I don’t think “because I want it” is a justification for having a right to something. I also pirate things sometimes, which is why I’m here, but I don’t believe I have a right to the content.
I agree with your second statement, but not your first

I almost didn’t do anything today, but I got up and went for a walk. Felt real good.
It’s like foremilk and hindmilk.
Internet anonymity in general is a terrible thing and I would do away with it if I could. I’m impossible to say who’s a real person, who’s a bot, who’s an alternate account. It’s allowed every evil and terrible person to find others like them and embolden each other without the oversight of social pressure from the rest of society which I think is an essentially needed social cue of healthy human communities.
Yes I realize the irony of posting this on Lemmy.
Sweet, are Advice Animals back?
Pick your poison.

I would direct these questions to your doctor then, assuming that’s who’s instructing you to take your blood pressure.

Granted, it’s entirely possible for individual variation or for a woman to eat larger portions than she needs, but that’s true of either sex.
