I pay for Hulu, Max, Disney+, Prime, and get Netflix for free. Half the time, I still can't find the show or movie I want to watch. But 99.99% of the time I can find a torrent for it within 20 seconds of searching. Not only is pirating cheaper, but it's more convenient and more user friendly these days.

The problem with Rogan is that he doesn't have the knowledge or qualifications to push back against people spewing bullshit on his show, and so he ends up essentially making fringe, pseudo-scientific ideas seem equal to the mainstream expert consensus view.

I’m a socialist but not a tankie. Criticizing tankies!= criticizing socialists

So I hate Elon Musk and I think Tesla is way overhyped, but I do want to point out that singular anecdotes like this don't mean anything.

Human drivers run red lights and crash cars all the time. It's not a question of whether a self-driving car runs a light or gets in a crash, it's whether they do it more often than a human driver. What are the statistics for red lights run per mile driven?

I feel like we're watching the emergence of fascism in America and I don't know what to do about it.

No. how could I? Armored tanks are EXCLUSIVELY implements of peace, they are NEVER used lethally or to inflict harm. The Chinese military DEFINITELY brought in armored tanks for peaceful, humanitarian reasons.

I’m still calling it Twitter because it will piss off Elon Musk if everyone keeps calling it Twitter and I think that’s funny.

No the tanks were there as part of a humanitarian mission /s

You could have done all of that in a small truck like the old ford ranger.

No one thinks that trucks aren’t useful. The problem is the absolutely preposterous size of these trucks.

The anecdote proves nothing because the model could potentially have known of the McGonagal character without ever being trained on the books, since that character appears in a lot of fan fiction. So their point is invalid and their anecdote proves nothing.

It's honestly a better browser imo.

Did you cleverly infer that from the fact that I said, "no"? Or were their other subtle clues you picked up on?

The pictures of dead, maimed, mutilated civilian corpses and crushed bicycles/cars were actually staged by the protesters to frame the kind, peaceful Chinese military, who were only there to have friendly dialogue with the protestors.

It usually isn't much good at writing new code from scratch. You have to be so specific on what you want that by the time you fully described the code you need, you could have written it yourself.

What it's really good at is refactoring or finding bugs in existing code. I will frequently paste in some ugly function that I've written and say "can you make this more readable?" and 100% of the time it produces clean, readable code that's nicer than what I gave it.

Did anyone read the article? It’s not saying ever you guys think it’s saying. The DC Democrats are saying that in two predominantly black areas, having voters pick two choices on ballots has already led to confusion and that ranked choice will lead to even worse confusion.

They’re not speculating here, they’re describing what’s already known.

I wouldn't say that pirating is user-friendly, only that it can be more user-friendly than logging into and searching through multiple streaming services. That of course pre-supposes that you have some knowledge of how to torrent and where to find torrent files.

Plex is just a media server. You have to acquire content through some other means, then you can host it on a Plex server and stream it to any device that has the Plex app installed.

I have a Plex server that my entire family has logins for, and I put whatever movies or shows people are interested in. Basically you can make your own mini Netflix.

Yes, haha, look how fake it is

As we all know, militaries NEVER use tanks to kill or injure people. They actually mostly use them to transport puppies and kittens, and the army's very best huggers to spread love and joy :)

Just want to say that this is a fantastic answer. Pay attention to the parts about printing/downloading stuff. There are huge parts of America where you won't get a reliable cell signal sometimes for hours.

I'm not going to seriously engage with your bullshit historical revisionism any more than I would seriously engage with a holocaust denier.
