Yes. But I’m not paid continuously for the work I’ve done in the past, and I’m not paid the actual value of my work.

Should we still be paying Homer for his incredible work on the Iliad, do you think?

I work for a living, so I’m used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.

Nah mate. Information is free the second it leaves its source. Any attempt to curtail it after then is just a cunt’s trick.

I prefer my mechanical stress calculations in millidynes per square kiloparsec thank you very much.

Yep - done.

So the answer is not to react? Then they will just continue to do fascist shit. It’s not a win for them if we resist. It’s just not.

So here’s my main critique: tor browsers and getting organised, as you put it, is not an alternative. The only way of organising at scale at the moment is protest. They could be better executed, they could be more effective, they should be refined for sure. But nixing protest because it’s what the enemy expects is like fighting with both arms tied behind your back for fear of damaging your opponent.
They don’t want protests, they’re just expecting them, because it’s all that can be done at scale.
Resistance should include private communication, small operations, protests and everything in between. ALL levers should be pulled, including mass protest.

It always astounds how you manage to do all those gymnastics whilst simultaneously gently licking Bibi’s boot. Fair play.

Cretin

Well I gave it a go, but the very first argument was a straw man, so I didn’t have the energy to filter through 30 minutes of biased, disingenuous and amateurish documentary. If you could give me some readable sources, from credible sources, that would be great. You’ve made a lot of extraordinary claims in your original comment…

Gonna need a source of two there, chief.

If absolutely is not. 30 years is possible, and en perpétuité (forever) in very rare cases.

The one you’re too lazy to search?

You’re saying that social media is not the real cause of the youth mental health crisis? Do you propose a different cause? Because I know of a good few, very well-qualified people (of varying ages) that might explicitly disagree with you…

Yes, the material the streams are made of is magnetic, and there is a strong and unusual magnetic field around the sun. So those streams are trapped by magnetism.

Even cooler: solar flares and mass ejections come about when one of the lines snaps like a whip and hurls billions of tonnes of plasma into space. Search: solar magnetic reconnection.

Plasma is electrically charged, so it interacts with magnetic lines.
The sun has magnetic field lines just as the earth does. It also rotates. But- since it’s not solid, it doesn’t have to rotate all at the same speed. The plasma in fast-rotating regions drags the field lines further than the plasma in slow rotating areas, creating weird loops, breaks and reconnections in the field lines. I’m almost certain that what we’re seeing in this lovely bit of photography is a cloud of plasma travelling across, or trapped by one of those rogue field lines which has been pushed upwards from the surface by differential rotation.

“Being really well dressed and using style to win people over is in the fascist playbook as well. Therefore drag queens are fascist.”
That’s you. That’s you right now.

There’s also the fact that they are too explosive to conform to flight safety standards.
