This is so true, except it's not my brain anymore but my kittens telling me to wake up by holding a world wrestling competition on top of me until I wake up, get out of bed and feed them. So there's no room for "Ah fuck. Well, I'll just turn around for half an hour" as you're already out of bed and downstairs.

Because paying for usenet means paying for privacy rights. Next to that, law enforcements are actively hunting uploaders, not downloaders. Usenet is much faster. Constant uploading is less energy efficient as it requires more pc power (especially when uploading loads of data) so it costs you more power, slows your pc, keeps your hard drives actively running which wears them down (as I imagine you don't have 32TB in SSD). With torrents you need to keep them uploading to get ratio on the closed community sites, so it takes up much more drive capacity. On open sites you get loads of viruses and other junk. I use my upload speed for friends to stream the content from my NAS instead. I got free vpn with my usenet account, for the price of a vpn account so I pay as much as you downloading torrents, if not less, assuming you're smart enough to have a paid vpn subscription. And this vpn is on top of SSL for extra privacy.
Usenet is better in so many ways.
Who uses torrents when there is usenet, sonarr and radarr.
I wonder what's causing him to be delusional.
Unpopular opinion? I thought this was a popular opinion.
Title should say "Irony in US logic".
How could apartheid be an overreaction to that? How could anything short of the complete extinction of Gaza and all living there be anything but an underreaction?
What the actual fuck dude. Seriously. Please go and seek help.
Clearly you have no clue of what has been going on the past 100 years over there and your sources of information are clearly propaganda as your statements are false.
If Jews had, en masse, instituted a pogrom of Germans then the camps would have been justified.
You claim there is a justifiable reason to have concentration camps. Because of people like you, concentration camps have been able to exist. Have you ever been to one? I have, to several including Auschwitz. I believe you are a danger to society, I hope you will never hold any position of power.
You support and justify crimes against humanity so there is no reason for me to continue this conversation any longer.
How could apartheid be an overreaction to that?
Apartheid has been going on for years and years now. Just like the rest of the oppression and locking people in a closed off ghetto. Its not a reaction to Oct7. Oct7 is a reaction to apartheid (which was a terrorist act which I condemn).
But besides that, you argue that racism, stripping people of their human rights and identity for an entire group of people is fine when a small group of terrorists commit a terrorist attack?
Crimes against humanity are never fine. No matter what happened. When a few commit a terrorist act, or do whatever horrible thing possible, that still shouldn't justify to become a monster yourself in general, but especially not to thousands of innocent civilians.
The reasoning of "yeah but look what they did" was the reason nazi Germany justified deporting jews to Auschwitz. It's the reason why the US invaded and completely wrecked Afghanistan. It's the reason Russia invaded Ukraine and defends it's war crimes. It's the reason for the ethnic cleansing by Israel and why they refuse to cease fire.
Never justify horrible acts like war crimes and crimes against humanity by saying "but look what they did" because crimes against humanity and war crimes do not have an asterisk or ammendment saying "except when-".
You're calling the opposition of an extreme nationalistic state nazis.
But post October 7, it’s hard to argue they’re overreacting to it.
Apartheid isn't overreacting? Enclosing millions in a ghetto, limiting their food, water and electricity is not against human rights? Constantly stealing land is just fine? Stripping people of their rights is just? Torture is good for the right cause? Financing a terrorist organisation like Hamas to continue crimes against humanity isn't wrong?
Except for the concentration camps, they do everything exactly as nazi Germany did. Putting everyone in ghettos, stripping them of their rights, denying them in shops and public places, steal everything from them, torturing them, falsely imprison them without cause or trial, etc. But instead of concentration camps they bomb schools, hospitals, aid workers, refugee camps. They cut them off from drinking water, food transports, electricity. When you find Israel just in their crimes against humanity, during and/or before the war, you're no better then Hitler himself.
Please note I'm not pro Hamas. They are terrorists. But they are a product of the years and years of oppression, apartheid and humanitarian crisis created by the Israeli state.
There is no right or wrong here. There is only wrong and millions of innocent civilians (on both sides but mostly on the Palistinian side).
I used to love this. Arrive at work around 06h (getting up at 4:30, 1h drive), do loads of work without noise or people bothering me. Downside was I would go to bed around 21h so my social life was shit as most of my friends work until late and are down to chill from around 20h. Even during weekends this day-night cycle meant my social life was shit. Also my colleagues never saw me starting work so early, so they would always look angry and I would always have to defend myself when leaving early every day. But I could do a week's work in a single day this way and I could enjoy the day during sunlight when I got home making me feel less stressed by work in general. It didn't feel like my daily life consisted of being a work slave, more like I had something useful to do in the first half of the day and loads of time to relax, be creative and active the other half.
