oh daaammn. okay that’s what I was curious about. seems like every agriculture trade gets taken to fucked up places in order to meet the demands of industry. thanks for providing the link.

that would make sense. I’m unsure of whether it’s helpful, but I forgot that goal of veganism could extend to domestic bees as well. are there any vegans who can clue me in on the thought process regarding bees?

I don’t think they are. I could have swore that the looming death of most pollinators was on the horizon.

love how some people’s plan for surviving ecological collapse is just to craft products (that they assume are) without the endangered ecology. like, good job the assignment was to save the damn bees but yeah I’m sure all the plants will be able to survive if we smear them with synthetic honey.

honestly just good taste imo. perhaps you should get in touch with Boeing as well (but not really, they kill people)

that got a spit take from me

I heard of a pastor in my town once say that “Satan lands a 747 of sin on exposed skin”. Conceptually I think I just kind of like the way his brain worked, misogyny aside. Also according to him this means Boeing built at least one custom plane for Hell and that kind of makes sense.

oh hell yeah👍 thanks m8

nah we’re done. I already said but you don’t listen. have a good night ✌️

you’re right. not by a certain type of internet person. nothing personal, but the shame of being a fragile baby is actually worth that boundary and there are other better interactions for us both to go have

yeeesh. I realize now that getting artists paid is obviously way less important to you than having somebody to verbally spar with. this is reductive and overall pretty naive to the actual experience of being in the workforce or trying to consume ethically.

instead of shouldering the responsibility of being your debate partner, I’m going to bow out and bid you a good life 👍 perhaps somebody else here would like to take turns quote tweeting and making character assessments with you.

mpc, is that shuffling media player cassic with the system clock? isn’t that what shuffle already does ?

it really isn’t though. I don’t really know where you live or how your local economy is organized but where I’m at people in my tax bracket are extracted for every ounce of raw money we can generate, both now but even speculatively in the future. it really doesn’t make sense to consider theft as a taboo against corporations since we are literally a resource that’s being exploited in real time for far much more than whatever artists would lose if we all stole.

.sopuli is a Finnish board right? my understanding is that you guys have way stronger social ethics and consumer protection, so yeah. in your world I probably would sign up for that Napster subscription again. or even better, a service actually from Finland. Bandcamp is good too.

here, though in the present we have far worse things to worry about than theft. being tricked into defending the feelings of billionaires is a big one. letting corporations curate our education and media is another. but I hope you continue to have the life where you can engage with your economy in such a good intentioned way. I miss back when I felt I could do that too.

woah woah woah, chill bro goddamn. let’s sit and think about this. Record labels take pretty much all of the cut for streaming. Here is the chart showing what each service pays artists per song played. I used to think Napster was the best and subscribed to them for years, which is ironic considering their history

obviously the payout is going to vary widely but it’s common knowledge that for even the most played artists, the pay from this avenue sucks. they simply use these services to get their music to potential concert goers since that’s the income that record labels actually let artists keep. vinyls, merch, and usually tickets unless they REALLY get fucked over like child musician groups tend to.

If You have an interest in discovering just how shady that industry is, you should watch this essay about payola and how it’s literally more profitable for a musician to die than it is to release a certain number of future albums. I’m going to stick to pirating albums and using my cash to actually see the artists I love

I know so many people who are so ride-or-die for never having to manage the file space for their own music library and they don’t seem particularly less stressed.

I think they just cannot live without an algorithm to recommend new music to them

oh shit what uppp? on my way to federate
