Since it’s a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I’m under the impression that this ‘criticism’ are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they’re a bullshitter.

I’ve done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I’m not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I’ve found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012

So it’s likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it’s a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they’re bored.

Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.

I had a double take on that number they’re asking for.

$13 Trillion? Geez, fucking greedy much? Not that they haven’t been greedy before, but we’re used to seeing millions and billions that are asked per track (technically they’d ask ridiculous sums of like $10,000 ~ even $100,000 per track in the past). But this just glaringly demonstrate how greedy these fucks really are and they just gotta tell everyone about it.

I still say it was dumb of Anna to bother with Spotify but I like the defiance of just not caring.

I don’t fucking care.

It’s just one big event to see how much commercialization can be crammed down people’s throats. The Commercial Bowl isn’t too far away either.

Start trying to do things you feel you must do. Those dead end friends? Fuck them, remove them, they haven’t amounted a damn thing in your life for a long time and all they want to do is just do the same routines for years.

If we want to be dead honest about it - yes. It’s like second-hand guilt. You’re buying it off from someone who, whether they care or not, bought it first hand that it was made through child labor in 3rd world country. They donated it, they didn’t want it and you went to get it. You’re in possession of said item with the knowledge of how it was made.

Just because you weren’t the first who bought it, doesn’t cancel out just buying it altogether.

And then turn around and make us suffer twice as bad over it, because fucking reasons.

I would be upset at them as much as I’m upset for what the US is doing to those countries.

Because, dropping a nuke is a very exaggerated and an unnecessarily strong approach to send a message. Nuclear warfare is a thing everyone universally fears of happening, except psychopaths like Putin who’d resort to them if things don’t go his way.

They should understand that there are people in this country who didn’t want this regime, didn’t vote this regime and don’t agree with every action the regime takes. Nor does every american endorse and praise the actions the american government, past and present, has inflicted on the globe with racking up casualties through war and other proxy missions.

It’d be reckless, tone-deaf and outright stupid. Dropping a nuke, just one nuke, will bring us over the edge to that nuclear warfare scenario. Because the US WILL respond in kind.

The only thing that’s being “damaged” is some executive’s plan to lobby or to buy their 5th home. Not to mention their fragile ego.

You just got to take chances and hope the person you’re meeting is where you’ll end up meeting them in. Also, random chance happenings.

Sir, this is a ‘No Stupid Questions’ magazine. Not a ‘Stupid Question for cheap nods because hur hur weed and sex position’ magazine. Clarified that for you.

That’s 67 billion in USD for those curious.

I would say fake goods have more of an impact than piracy does. Come on now, how much more “research” do we need to disprove the “piracy causes lost sales!” claim?

No. I just got tired of dealing with virtual machines. I would’ve hoped that Wine by now would’ve allowed and accepted more 16-bit applications than just stopping at 32-bit.

Would you know if this works for 16-bit games? Like, I’d love to play the Hasbro cereal box games again. Yahtzee, Wheel of Fortune and all them. If so, that alone may just get me to join Linux Mint.

Took Intel way too long to finally discontinue that shitty Celeron line.

It should never even be questioned. Pedophilia will never be okay. Children cannot reasonably consent and if anyone thinks they do, don’t care to know what ‘grooming’ is or probably is a groomer to make a child believe that.

You’re a bit out of date on that one.

Because you’re thinking when he said that in 2006. It took until 2019 that he changed his perspective. Now granted that’s quite a time gap between 2006 and 2019 in believing pedophilia is okay. But he seems to have changed his tune on that. And people did make it known to him.

And it becomes a tediously straining experience.

That’s honestly how piracy in general should be. But as we’ve learned, have learned and seemingly continue to learn. That, the reason a number of great piracy sources go down the way they did was because, someone had a very big mouth and drew attention that ended up costing us great sources that had lasted a good long while.

These days, it’s get your pirating in as much as you can, take your loot and provide only to those who know how and when to shut up.

The people running Anna’s Archive should’ve really known better. At one hand, I’m appreciative for what they attempted to do. But on the other hand, they’ve really painted a big target on their backs by scraping on Spotify. Now they have the RIAA legion sickened on them and they’re probably now going to get nuked by lawsuits and appeals. So, in a sense, Anna’s Archive kinda went and blew themselves up, screwing people out of a good source.

The uneducated are a part of the reason, you can’t ignore that and you can blame billionaire greed all you want but it doesn’t change that.
