I agree with you. Internet forums were better before likes/etc.
Before you had to state an opinion to engage any idea. Which drives conversations. You had to stake your reputation via alias. Which is why forums build such strong communities.
There were certainly downsides and old style forums don’t scale well for modern user levels.
But I think the defaultism of likes/voting lowers the bar of participation and in doing so also fundamentally lowers the quality of any conclusions derived therein.

Its not a defense its a line of inquiry. Why do you think people asking what he’s accused of are defending him? That doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 4 days ago:
Doesn’t justify you walking around calling people ableist for not knowing that bub. Grow the fuck up.

Nah the emphasis was the italics.
- Comment on rest in pepperoni 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. That’s why I put “scare quotes” around the word “do” to imply that he actually did do something. I wasn’t defending them I was responding specifically to the comment above.
Even the couple of links here don’t shed any light on the details of ‘why’.
The why is simply that disrespecting the fans that supported your success is a recipe for failure.
- Comment on rest in pepperoni 3 weeks ago:
He didn’t do anything. He’s just another artist/entertainer who doubled down on magatry despite their career being built by a diversity of loyal fans.
Wayne Gretzky is still considered the greatest hockey player of all time… but as far as most Canadians are concerned his home ice is in Mara Lago now.

Capitalism will let us all eat shit and die and still cut that shit with the last of the Amazonian sawdust.
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 4 weeks ago:
A lot of the reasons unions form in the USA are mitigated by Canadian labour laws. So you generally only see them in large work forces such as government employees, school teachers, and trades. People already get severance pay based on length of employment for getting fired without cause. If you’re laid off you can get EI (60% wages from gov’t).
So to answer your question… nothing probably -though I am speculating. Unless they did something egregious they likely broke no laws.

Yea like as much as I’m concerned about government control etc… Social media is actively doing irreversible harm and needs to be treated like digital cocaine it is.

Even exceptions require due diligence.
Should you meet a man of terrible crimes,
do not draw your sword, do not force him to draw.
Do not cut, do not let him cut.
Do not kill and do not be killed.
Teach him kindly and lead him to be a better man. Only if he will not be led, cut him down with a regretful stroke and send him to Buddha.

- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
I feel like silver is a more practical apocalypse metal than gold because of its anti bacterial properties. Even if you can’t turn it into surgical tools you can use it to help preserve drinking water.
- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 2 months ago:
Jesus wouldn’t gripe the practice of tithing so much as what the modern church does (or mainly doesn’t do) with the money. Obviously if that money was spent helping people he would be cool with it.
There’s even a bit in the bible where he say the poor woman who tithed the 1 penny she could spare was giving more than the rich people who gave much more.

- Comment on Do boycotts work? 3 months ago:
What people boycott matters. So many things are effectively monopolized that only things people are willing to actually go without can effectively be boycotted.
It worked with Jimmy Kimmel because there’s neither a substitute entertainer that will satisfy cancelers nor is there an alternate disney owned streaming service they can funnel said canceler’s to.

- Comment on Video of Charlie Kirk Anti-zionist comments that keep getting wiped from the internet (DOWNLOAD A COPY) 4 months ago:
Simple context for all conspiracy theorists: This clip was taken 1 week after the October 7 attacks in 2023. He has vehemently defended Israel’s right to defend itself and has visited Israel since these remarks. People seem to be under the impression he made these comments like a week before he was assassinated.
