The two rules of Conservatism:
The professors get to do what they want and flunk whomever they want. The students have to do what they say and only have sex on their religious terms.
I disagree, simply by virtue of the fact that psychopaths exist. Morally motivated evil (aka harmful acts) I think is rooted in ignorance, and religiously motivated evil almost certainly is.
This is an example of that last one.
Wait, they do? Damn, I’m always learning about how weird evolution is!
What’s crazy is he actually won some award from the Journal of Philosophy in the past. But brain rot comes quickly for people like him, who has himself been plugged into the right wing propaganda mill since at least 2016.
And one of his self-professed professional interests is “Christian Philosophy,” so this is totally on brand for him.
It’s crazy that we have so many good, symbiotic critters living in and on us.
DRM doesn’t control your PC, it controls what you can do with files (usually through encryption via an app) and these streaming platforms are part of publicly funded libraries; they have a vested interest in not fucking up people’s computers.
I don’t know where you got the idea that DRM could become root user of your PC, but I think you should go research what DRM is, how it works, and why people are often against it. I think you’re conflating DRM with anti-mod/cheat software, a kind of DRM, and that specific form generally has a fraught history with kernel-level access.
But you shouldn’t fear DRM simply because it’s DRM.
What do you mean? You can get a library card, often for free (in the US) or for a relative pittance, and you then have access to these streaming platforms and other media. I fail to see how it’s a loss of “nice things.”
Of course they do, like any streaming platform. However, you can only access them through your library membership. They don’t have subscription plans for the general public, afaik.
Did you suppose libraries would allow you to download copyrighted movies for free?
Public libraries are the best. Also, if your local library is very small, see if they’re part of a larger network that affords you extra resources or a bigger catalog. See if the nearest large metro city has eCards to check out digital materials; I have one that costs me a paltry $22/yr and gives me access to tens of thousands of ebooks/audiobooks and Hoopla, Kanopy, and free online classes (e.g. How to Cook Healthy, How to Become a Master Gardener, etc.).
The value of public libraries cannot be understated.
No matter how long you’ve been on the Internet, there’s always more to learn.
Well, if you’re going to do OMAD, seems like a tasty way to do it!
If it’s 5/7, is it really perfect…? 🤔
Also, I’m sure it’s delicious, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the calories. This must be half a day’s calories in one delicious meal!
I enjoy it, too. Because of the granular data (e.g. what’s this road made of?), it’s got me thinking a lot more about my community, instead of just taking everything for granted.
