Sorry man, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking.

If you are able to load the content on your computer without infringing copyright laws, you’re allowed to circumvent whatever the website has in place to store whatever data you would like from whatever website you would like, regardless of the nature of the site, so long as the content is legal (is not CP) and again not being presented in a way that infringes aforementioned copyright laws.

If you’re asking why the copyright laws exist, I can’t really help you with that one.

Who said that you can’t scrape content from the other place?

If you scraped a pirate site and stored a bunch of links to copyrighted content you’d probably be fine,

If you’re referring to the last line, I say I wouldn’t want authorities to find it because I don’t want to have to explain it. I’m 99% sure someone would not just store links to a bunch of pirated content for fun, they probably have accessed said pirated content, now you have to explain to the authorities why you have links to pirated content without implicating yourself in copyright infringement.

Like I said, probably fine, I just wouldn’t want the hassle if I somehow got caught.

If you scraped a pirate site and stored a bunch of links to copyrighted content you’d probably be fine, actually using those links to download or share copyrighted content is what’s illegal. It’d be like buying the stuff to make a bomb or drugs, but then not making any bombs or drugs.

That being said, while not necessarily illegal, I wouldn’t want authorities to find my bomb and drug ingredients, or my scraped piracy links, as I’d probably have some 'splainin to do.

Do I not amplify the background noise when I turn it up myself? I think they’re looking more for a “variable volume” option rather than any actual audio engineering

Yeh, but unless I uproot my life and move to a different country, I’m stuck doing it, so I can either bitch and moan about how much I hate it, or have the best time I can doing it 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m a car guy and far from manly. I drive a loud annoying stick shift because it’s fun and life is too short to be bored while driving.

Sounds like I’m exclaiming that something is hot, then clarifying that it was a potato.

Alright, bow out if you must.

Cringe, and implies you’re trying to win an argument rather than have a conversation.

Also, I’m sorry, but you’re totally wrong. I know what kind of intersection you’re talking about, this definitely is not it. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but XKCD is an American webcomic, these intersections are all over the place and you definitely are not supposed to stop in them.

This is the kind of intersection you’re talking about. You’ll notice that the center area where the car turns is much longer than the area in the original post, in addition to having clear lane indications.

If someone were to stop in the intersection in the OP, they would have to be stopped at an awkward angle not parallel to either lane, and if someone were to follow them into the intersection, the second person would have nowhere to go.

Long story short, there’s two different kinds of intersections being discussed here, regardless of whether or not you acknowledge it or which one you believe is being depicted. One of them makes the comic make sense, while the other does not. Which one do you think the artist intended to draw?

Do people generally need a smoke screen when they sell their (assumedly) legitimate investments for profit…?

How would funding a very public search be used as a method for staying out of the news?

Someone else pointed out to me that if you long press on the link (not the comment itself) that it will open up the exact menu that I am talking about. It’s a little annoying, personally I wish that this was the default behavior, but it beats opening the YouTube app every 5 seconds.

Ha! So it is. I’d tried this before, but I think I was not long-tapping directly on the link because I was just collapsing the comment.

It would be nice if there was an option to change the default behavior, as I’m too stupid to remember to long press every link I see. But that’s being a bit nitpicky.

Same here. Any text post with a really high quality image in the post body or in the comments seems to kill the app.

How long until we Brave New World it and just start pumping the airways with drugs whenever there’s an issue?

8 pack of seltzer… $20

Christ. 12 packs of seltzer here are like $16, beer not much cheaper maybe $14

How is it spending way more on way less alcohol? In my area a 12 pack of Trulys is comparable to a 12 pack of Corona and they have roughly the same alcohol content

Ah, that’s really annoying :(

Figma balls lmao gottem

Others have already given you good answers so I’ll weigh in on the emunand / not getting banned thing.

I spent a long time trying to get the emunand set up and working on my switch but kept hitting some sort of error (it was almost a year ago so I don’t remember specifically what the issue was). After a while of trying I realized that I was trying to avoid getting banned from an online service I never once used and never planned to use, and now I just use the switch in airplane mode. I’ve read that the system keeps a log of what’s been done and will upload it to Nintendo if it ever reconnects, at which point I very well may be banned, but I don’t really care enough. Being in airplane mode makes sure the switch can’t try to auto update itself as well.

Hey man, I’m sorry you’re in a shitty situation, but know that things go on and you will too regardless of the outcome. It’s good that you think you’ve got the problems figured out, but like others have said you need to be prepared to accept that there might not be something that needs to be “fixed” and it may just be time to move on. If that’s the case, take the lesson you’ve learned from this relationship and be ready to apply it to your future relationships.
