ACAB but every paramedic has dealt with a couple fuck yous after narcan'ing someone. I'm not saying this to say cops aren't fucking aweful but rather so as not to minimize how badly medical personnel get treated.

    The goal isn't necessarily to outright prevent piracy (but obviously they would if they could). But, by keeping such sites constantly changing it prevents sites from gaining notoriety and keeps people who aren't very tech savvy (the majority) away from torrenting. They may get a site they can trust from a friend, but when that site goes down in a month the hope is they just give up. The faster the churn the more normie users can be kept away from piracy.

    Jellyfin is pretty great, but still requires the user be on somewhat close terms with someone tech savvy. Torrenting more generally has the (false) perception of being very risky. It's not about stopping people in the know, we aren't good consumers anyway, it's about stopping tech illiterate people.

    If I had infinite money and didn't have to work, I still would, just less and with some different direction. I don't think anyone thinks liking one's job is required, but it's obviously nice to not actively dislike a 3rd of your life if at all possible.

    Here is an article giving some voice to both opinions after a team name change:

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/inuit-reaction-edmonton-cfl-team-name-change-1.5658904

    To me the "its a slur" camp seem to make a much stronger case.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/tanya-tagaq-pushes-us-band-eskimeaux-to-change-name-1.4074095

    'If you want to use the word Eskimo you had better be an Eskimo or I'll eat you for lunch,' tweeted Tagaq

    In my personal experience its definitely a slur and a very strong one here in canada, and if i heard a canadian say it i would absolutely assume they were a racist.

    They have an etiquette around how many posts/pics a day are acceptable and also heavily control their own narratives. Which is probably why genz barely drinks compared to previous generations.

    There doesn't really seem to be much in concrete steps here? (Although the article is really barebones)

    It sounds like they are basically offering cheaper debt to nuclear power, which is fine, but I can't see how they can say that translates to a concrete number like 10 plants being built.
