Going into a club just to go around showing everyone a thumbs down is being an ass tbh. I can't say whether there's a rule against it, but it's not behaviour that's helpful for anyone.
For stuff that shows up in your All feed, you can downvote the post to keep it out of others' feeds. If such posts appear too much you can block and move on. The mods have just done the latter for you.
A little bit. If I offer too specific expert knowledge I could be doxxing myself, so I make a version that sounds like I just picked it out from the top search engine result, but works well enough as an answer.
"Why hasn't anyone designed a building like this before?"
"Oh."
I guess China is no stranger to the high inflation more risk-averse economic environment.
Took me a year and 150 applications and 10 interviews to find the job that I wanted. I wouldn't want to wish the stress of job seeking on anyone.
My uneducated guess is that banking corps getting "harmed" by the fact they can't suck money out of their borrowers will have to spend more effort putting each order through the courts.
At the very least, the more times that Biden's student loan forgiveness plan is blocked like this, it will get it into voters' heads that it's not the President and Democratic party's failure to act but co-ordinated obstruction by Republicans and the financial institutions.
You make a decent point, but the disconnect between people paying for content and the money going to the people who contributed effort to it is getting wider and wider.
Popular shows that people subscribed for get axed after 1 season or moved to another service. All the work people did for Warner Brothers' Batgirl gets thrown in the trash so that WB can get a tax write-off, before any movie watcher can even give a cent to them in support.
The point is big studios make so much year after year that pirating their stuff doesn't make a dent in whether the people they hire get paid accordingly.
Many scene groups actually purchased the games and cracked them, I've read NFOs that say "buy the game, we did too".
People recording in movie theatres have to either sneak into the theatre or buy a ticket themselves.
Someone scanning a book to post online had to have bought it or borrowed it.
Yes some games are cracks of illegitimate obtained leaked copies or other unscrupulous methods.
I have played pirated games in the past but my Steam library has thousands of dollars worth of games I bought, many of which I wouldn't have if I weren't interested in these type of games to begin had pirating games not been possible.
Sure, the opportunity cost from piracy's "lost sales" to the publisher/licensor is non-zero. But how many sales that would have happened varies greatly on the perceived value vs. price of the product, and how available it is. If it's not in stores anymore and can only be bought from scalpers on eBay, the publisher cough Nintendo cough doesn't see that money anyway vs. pirating it.
This is pretty much is in line with what you say. Processing cases quickly to legally and humanely bring people through the immigration doesn't appear to be the goal from this administration's actions.
