Barely.

The 90’s were a long time ago.

He’s always been like this. Always.

Oh, it is.

And I like it.

Sail the high seas, friends.

I’ve already addressed this. They don’t get fractions of fractions of a penny.

We know this because Weird Al used his year-end video to make the world aware that, in return for his tens of millions of streams, he got around $80.00 from Spotify for a whole year.

The artists aren’t losing anything meaningful when rip songs off Youtube, but the CEO is for sure, at least he would if we all did this.

I love that his human put a soft blanket or pad or something there so he can comfortably extort playtime from his friends without discomfort to his belly.

Mine likes to bully me by taking a toy, running under the bed, and fully expecting me to wriggle under there and take it. I give him one of those, and then shut the door on my way back to the living room.

Why do you hate joy, Macaw?

Absolutely. At the end of the day the main point here is just don’t use the major streaming services.

You’re right.

I should figure out a way to replace the income these artists get for my individual stream. It comes out to fractions upon fractions of a penny.

The point here is robbing the CEO. There’s no meaningful impact to the artist (unless you’re Taylor Swift) thanks to the way these services are structured.

That works too.

None of the online music streamers are ethical. Every single one, to varying degrees, robs the artists and enriches their CEO’s and shareholders.

Do the ethical thing.

Don’t use them, and instead, use a Youtube-to-MP3 converter and steal the music.

Most people have been trained from a young age to value convenience over basically everything else.

This is the deal. Yes. People, at least here in the US, equate personal liberty with convenience; which is why you saw people willing to kidnap governors over being forced to wear a facemask, or attacking Red Lobster employees for being slow in bringing another basket of cheese biscuits.

Also why dead kids aren’t enough to get real progress on gun control.

I think when these tariffs really roll downhill and the supply chain is reconfigured within the next two years, the real and permanent impacts of Donald’s cavalier and reckless economic policies will be in full effect.

The 2024 democratic primary was non-existent for two reasons:

• 1. Democrats rig their primaries, and they admitted it in court in Florida.
• 2. Dementia isn’t a redline for Democrats and their partisans.

100%

Every president from the 1940’s to the 2010’s crawled fascism incrementally so Donald’s fascism could walk.

No.

Trump is just meaner and doesn’t give speeches pretending to be a good person. On Israel he and Biden are exactly the same. (And Obama, and Bush, and Clinton, etc. etc. etc.)

Pure tankie derangement to think that Trumps policies are not a million times worse.

Immediately going ad hominem doesn’t speak well to your point-of-view.

Bummer.

You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.

People keep downvoting like Harris didn’t explicitly affirm her commitment to Genocide Joe’s policies.

Harris Says ‘Not a Thing Comes to Mind’ That She’d Do Differently Than Biden

Teenie weenie murders.
