Sort of. But basically yes, Honey pays creators to advertise their “product” then when a viewer downloads Honey and uses it Honey steals the affiliate code money by swapping their own code in. And also not necessarily giving you the best deal, so they can keep more of the payout.

Yeah I read this twice and didn’t understand, because I didn’t know the order. Kept scrolling and saw an article about it and went "oh ok, that’s what that was about, and scrolled back to confirm.

" Some of this piracy (and make no mistake, that’s what it is) "

Says who? What authority does this writer have to declare blurry, poor audio quality shakey cam video of a movie theatre screen with dozens of people singing in the foreground “piracy”?

From my perspective, piracy would be taking and selling (or personally viewing in place of paying and viewing) something someone else made. None of these videos are meant to replace seeing the movie, nor will they.

I cannot wait to see Wicked, I’ve seen the musical 4 times in my life. Except there is no way I’m going to watch a movie in a theatre setting with other randos singing or generally being shitty people.

Am I cobbling together all the tictoc clips and watching that? No. Because that’s not the product they are selling. I’ll wait for it to come out on streaming.

These videos are not piracy.

Thank you for taking the time. I find it interesting that it is so important in some cultures for the woman to take the husband’s name, and yet in this example there seems to be zero problems with it …

That’s something I didn’t know. Do you have time to explain how that works in China? Or if there’s a good video essay on the subject I’d take that.

I’m with you Cheese, the vibe was “just report that you weren’t here so you aren’t supporting genocide.”

Just make sure to do it from Walmart or Lowblaw or some other government teet sucking price gouging corporation.

I think human memory and recollection is too inconsistent to apply that label fairly.

If the cops had been around the corner when it happened and then claimed they saw it then you are right, they should face equal consequences for lying.

But if they were near enough (and the video shows some of them? Than a combination of the sounds and movement and immediate aftermath can and does totally shift your perception of reality.

Quick story: I was at work and I heard someone say something angry behind me. I turned around and “Bob” suddenly shoved “Alex”. Alex shoved back and they started screaming. I got in between and broke it up, facing Bob and basically keeping him from continuing after Alex. The bosses showed up and Bob started going off screaming about how his was gonna kick Alex’s ass and let’s go outside and blah bla blah he shoved me!

I barked at him “You shoved Alex first you need to calm down!”

And he stopped dead and looked at me. “FUCK YOU YOU LIAR.” And a rant about how I was best friends with Alex (I wasn’t, but sure did like him more than Bob) and I would like to get him fired ect ect.

Now Bob was (probably is) an asshole. He ended up getting fired for berating a coworker and then coming to blows with a supervisor who told him to knock it off.

But after I dismissed his accusations and moved on with my day, I started to think about what happened.

I didn’t see anything before I turned around. But I did hear a yell, like a yelp… Like someone being hit…

So I was 100% convinced of what happened, until I gave it some deep thought much later. If Alex had have stepped up and said “yeah! That’s what happened!” I don’t think I would have ever second guessed it, I would have put my career and reputation on the line…

Anyways, they may be fully lying and colluding, but there is a non-zeeo chance they “remembered” it like the victim claims.

ACAB but I wouldn’t put too much weight in the other officers intentionally lying. The incident happened so fast I’d assume 3 of the 4 didnt even catch it from the right angle and are just going off of what Dumbo says happened.

Cancan Dan should go to prison for the same sentence as the crime he falsely accused the driver of.

Then the driver should have been charged with those offences. Also I have no idea how YOU know he was breaking any traffic laws from that video. The officer onsite indicates the lights are not to be trusted, and “speeding”, I’d love to see how you went about determining that from this video…

The cop played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. In a just world once he heals up he would go to jail for the same crime/time as he falsely accused the driver of. Oh well.

What type/brand of laser level? Most have magnetic brackets so if you have an outside corner in the room that has a metal drywall corner it will stick to that, or any peice of metal can be screwed to the wall and the level can be stuck to that. Your level may also come with a metal part of the bracket that you can screw to the wall and then stick the lazer to, and slide it up and down to get the right spot.

Pardon?

While I agree that banning guns won’t eliminate people illegally smuggling guns in, I’d still really appreciate it if the US would ban (most) firearms, that way Canada could chill the fuck out and have sensible gun laws without a freeking firehose of illegal and cheap guns blasting us from the south.

There are many ways to legislate and protect the population while allowing responsible and vetted citizens to own and use firearms, they just all get throw out the window when it’s easier to drive one over the border in a 3 hour black Friday round trip for 1/3 the price than it is to jump through the legal hoops to be allowed to purchase and own one here.

McDouble like a Mac. I discovered it when I had no money, but even now that they have closed the gap (they charge for the sauce and lettuce and probably an assembly fee because why not) I order a McDouble like a Mac over a Mac everytime. What’s this garbage middle bun for?
