You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.
Not completely true. Are there shot pirates yes, just like there are shit uploaders that think it’s fun to bundle a computer virus with downloadable content.
If it’s something new, like a new book or movie, I will pay for it. The movies/shows I pirate are old and mostly out of circulation, unless they are streaming on some service. I pay for those so their is monetary transactions.
For example, I just recently spent 2 days downloading CHiPs original tv series, even with my high speed broadband it was that slow because there aren’t that many people offering it. Took me 3 days to find it to dl.
Not all piracy is bad. New stuff, ok not cool. But older stuff that has had a good run, the loss of revenue to creator/publisher is so minimal that they won’t feel it.
I’m an ethical pirate, if I think it’s worth watching over and over again I’ll buy it, if it’s available. I won’t pirate software or books.
I have kindle for reading and there is nothing new worth downloading software wise, plus I use linux on my computer, so all my software is free anyway, and if I can’t donate financially I find other ways to help. I’m not a big gamer and when I do game it’s on console, so I do pay for that.
I know, but Texas has gone to hell in a hand basket, like most red states. Never realized how bad the GOP really was until the orange shitstain was in office
We’re planning on moving to the Denver area. More to do and a little cheaper CoL. we plan on staying away from tourist areas since those are always more expensive.
It’s not much better anywhere. It’s getting expensive here in the sticks of eastern texas
I did, nice catch 😂
I e no realized this. My wife, born Texan, and I both are getting out of here asap. We’re going to Colorado and starting fresh their. I hate authoritarianism, especially in Texas. It’s the worst and I grew up in a red state.
They never did, but trump was behind pushing for the vaccine after big pharma said they may have it. He claims that operation warp speed was his doing.
I live in Texas, and can’t wait to gth out. This state has become so authoritarian it’s not even funny. Everyone is too busy being in everyone else’s business, especially if they think they can make a quick buck.
When I first moved here, it was a wonderful state to live in, but since djt was voted in it went completely backwards. The obvious racism, bigotry and hatred has really come to the forefront of life around here.
Not to mention the mentality that if they think it’s in the book of fairy tales, called the bible, then that is the supreme law. They are so busy pushing their beliefs on you, and telling you that you should believe in their ways, has gotten out of hand. IMHO texas needs to secede from the US so they can burn in their own personal hell. Let people decide for themselves what they believe and what they can do with their own bodies.
Fuck Texas! I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.
Because they all seem to think their beliefs are the true beliefs of what the Bible teaches. They will always be at war with one another.
The “teachings” of the Bible are all based on how one person interprets it compared to another, the individual churches all believe the same version as they were taught by their religious leaders, who in turn believe their ultimate religious leader, for example the Catholic Church (all variations) follow the pope and his interpretation.
Nope and I don’t care. I have no reason to go around any potus, no matter who they are. Besides, the Covid testing thing is really no different in any other country that wants to protect their leaders.
The thing is Biden was working on fixing it, it’s just there was so much damage by the time he got in office, there was no quick fix. Remember governance doesn’t fix everything immediately or overnight upon changing of the guard.
Everyone expected an overnight miracle which is impossible to achieve. They aren’t god or Jesus as depicted in the book of fairy tales called the Bible.
Like he cares. He bought it for money and political reasons. And now, because of piss poor decisions, the company has been devalued from $44 billion it is now only worth about $4 billion. What makes it so sad is a lot of online companies are following suit thinking they can do what he couldn’t.
