Right, they are confirmed.

Which is exactly why I said TOS and not the US laws. I don’t really agree with the laws here either, because they create a safe harbor for illegal ends, but I understand that it is a lot easier, and arguably better, to self-police the content. That is what Patreon is doing. They view it as a violation of their TOS to generate revenue on a site that knowingly and willingly hosts CSAM. I’m with Patreon on this one. This wasn’t the first offence, and there is no way that the person that runs the site doesn’t know that material is on there. Pleading ignorant isn’t going to work. Running anonymous file hosting, no matter how good your intentions, is going to bring out the worst of the internet, guaranteed. If you can somehow get around that logic, you’ve got a bright future with the NRA.

How Libertarian of you.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a harsh quote, but it gets the point across: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Carlin was right, and it applies here. Sure, half of us may be able to adequately identify what we should and shouldn’t eat, but there is another half that can’t. With proper education we can change that, but right now corporations educate better through commercials than schools do through lectures. We have to maintain oversight because the evil of capitalism will choose profit over people every time.

Yeah, it really comes back to the idea of if a file hosting service is responsible for what the user uploads, which is an argument that has been going on since the beginning of the internet. Ultimately, yes, I think they are. I think you have to actively moderate what is uploaded, but on top of that, there has to be swifter and stricter punishment for those that do upload things that are against TOS and/or illegal. If someone is uploading CSAM, then law enforcement needs to go after them. Maybe they’ll actually do something people appreciate, instead of killing minorities.

There are surprisingly few of them, they are just a very vocal few. I’ve blocked most of them now, and it’s made things much more bearable. Sometimes, though, I’ll catch a single downvote and I’ll imagine it’s one of them farting their virtue-signaling into the void.

I played dominoes with a bunch of Cubans that didn’t speak English, and I spoke very little Spanish. By the 3rd bottle of rum we all understood each other perfectly.
- Comment on Someone posted the Source Code of the IRS's Directfile on Github 3 weeks ago:
You are correct. I guess what I should have said is that this is what they want us to see, no necessarily what they are using.
- Comment on Someone posted the Source Code of the IRS's Directfile on Github 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but you have to file FOIA and wait. It’s not truly open source.
- Comment on Someone posted the Source Code of the IRS's Directfile on Github 3 weeks ago:
It’s good in a sense that we can look over the code for any tomfoolery, but unless there is a smoking gun, it’s pretty worthless because it’s closed source by nature, and any changes they make won’t be published. Still, code nerds gonna code nerd.

Nah, he was an idiot when I was 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42. He’ll probably be an idiot until he dies. Can’t hold a job, can’t stop drinking, and can’t help but vote red down the line every 4 years. The world will be better when he’s shuffled loose this mortal coil.

It’s more of a progression from FFX than something like Persona or the newer FF games. It’s still turn based, but its more active. It feels like what Square should have done with the franchise, instead of going the direction they did.

The fact that this is still here and obviously not a shower thought just proves my point. They moderate politics, but other subs are asleep at the wheel.
