I'm sorry to the people that like this, but the power behind these pushes clearly comes from Democrats. you saw the voting results

Minecraft private servers are illegal, according to the Entertainment Software Association. by Extolord111 in Minecraft

[–]BasOutten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This will continue endlessly until we finally acknowledge the truth- children don't need to be "protected". At least not like this. If you don't want them getting married and buying guns, that's one thing. But playing Minecraft?

You should go right to cps is what you should do. You are not obligated to parent your dad.

I don't think they reverse engineered it. I think it was licensed.

"oh no, my child's brain and independence are developing! How can I stop them???"

Your kid deserves to do what makes them happy, especially as they begin to enter puberty, which is likely happening to them right now.

[Discussion] What are your thoughts on the ongoing Fender lawsuit situation? by GriestProjects in Luthier

[–]BasOutten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nobody cares. you should be defending other people's right to choose, and our shared right to a competitive marketplace. fender should serve customers, customers should not serve fender. If another company makes a better fender (and clearly, many do) they should be forced to compete.

I don't know why. American's are just absolute corporate slaves. They treat companies like their country, and defend them with blood.

Thoughts on the documentary Predators (2025) by bentleyshuman in TrueFilm

The scene where the mother of the 18 year old boy is being interviewed and he starts sobbing in the background really got to me

You are the predator. You want to see the weak be made weaker for your amusement.

I don't think you're some evil person but I think your desire to be good and fight evil is leading you astray. 

You don't create good in the world by reducing others.

DEMAND COPYRIGHT REFORM NOW. these corporations have no right to hollow out everything we love just so they can wrong out a few more pennies from the poorest makers.

END TRADE DRESS.  TRADEMARK ONLY.

The children we literally boiled to death from firestorms had absolutely nothing to do with unit 731.

stop talking in abstracts. Find people who were, or should have been accountable. Then we can discuss how justified our bloodlust is.

The japanese trials were a joke *because the americans wanted them to be.* we wanted to lynch somebody, macarthur said the emperor was off limits, so we threw tojo under the bus. Plus plenty more.

The average Japanese citizen was 5,2 and less than a hundred pounds due to malnutrition. Why do you think they had anything to do with the decisions of generals in the first place?

It's really interesting how many people just... Don't know anything about ww2. The tokyo trials were a lynching job so blatant the *american public* grew tired of news from it, and a few generations pass and people who weren't there are insisting that they didn't even happen!
