  • Your point isn’t wrong, it just doesn’t invalidate OPs point. There are many exceptions,but the majority reason for rape surely is a lack of sex. For some,prostitutes probably aren’t sufficient. Or they’re too weak and need to dominate. Or their lust outweighs their wallet in quantity. And some simply can’t afford them at all.

    I would argue that if everyone would have access to sex whenever needed, rape would be veeeery noticeably down. It won’t eradicate it sadly,but help a lot.

    In the end, we’re just a sexual species.











  • Depends. If they treat you loyally too, you should too. I always treated my employees as equals and any gain in profits was evenly distributed.

    In a perfect world that would be the norm. People actually liking their work, having a good balance, and also not just working for someone else but for themselves. Do help make it a good year and we all have a good year. Can’t make it to work today? No problem. As long as the respect is mutual.

    But people with tiny egos and great greed are ruining everything.





  • Besides it being around since forever and predecessing all forums and reddit etc.

    It’s main selling points for pir8s are:

    • max speed (depending on your uplink and your provider ofc. E.g. I get a solid 120mb/s)
    • up to maaany years retention (how old the stuff you want could be. Depends on provider ofc. Currently 11yrs from the top of my head)
    • no need to upload or be member of trackers to get the GOOD stuff. It’s all the same to everyone.
    • it’s still not really mainstream (luckily) and hence less dmcas

    Downsides compared to torrents?

    • in theory torrents can be as old as torrent itself. In reality torrents die quickly.
    • no social component like if you’re really engaged in some private tracker
    • to have it efficiently you’d either one or more indexers (like search-engines). There are free ones but they suck. And/or forums. As much stuff is encrypted/obfuscated for obvious reasons.

    Overall I’m a cheapskate and pay like 2€/month for unlimited usenet with maximum retention and 50 connection on the best backbone plus 2x 10-12€ a year for indexers. But one totally would be sufficient.

    In the end, we enter a movie/series-name, pick the right one from the results, wait a bit for the download and sorting to happen, then watch it in emby comfortably. The comfortable kind of piracy i dreamt of for nearly 3 decades 😊
