copyright was originally a tool to protect the little guy

i'm a little guy, i'm an indie musician

these copyright systems get in my way and prevent me from releasing my own music regularly

on soundcloud they now have an undisclosed AI deciding whether your new track is eligible for their "recommend track" booster program (they've also fired most of their support team in favour of a super flaky ai)

now it hinders the little guy, and increasingly funnels all the money to just a couple dudes, just like every other capitalist institution

when you get right down to it there's nothing but theft and shittiness going on in this society on any level

every 500 years or so though the sun throws a megaflare our way that will fry all our silly, impractical electronics and knock us back into reality. That's really all we have to look forward to at this point, rescue by utter annihilation. Currently 100 years overdue or so, if I'm not mistaken. Good luck everyone

if it's a scummy move that operates on lies and subterfuge, it's for sale on Amazon. coming soon to every other capitalist institution since whenever something makes money they just follow along and ignore the law, ignore what's right, and ignore you as you get run over

this is a warning to the inattentive, but mark this as trolling cuz it's anticapitalist and you need to have your sad little kneejerk rebellion

Comment Bad teachers are bad but (Score 0) 124

The damage a bad teacher can do to a student is incalculable, ... but the damage NO teachers could do?

I mean, there's a way to do this right and a way to do this wrong. The pure vision will be corrupted by the influence of the world and be shredded, bit by bit, til it comports with the thousand other standing stupidities we expect and enforce. Only way out is to destroy the whole thing at once and start over; fortunately our alien overlords (might as well be, anyway) seem to have exactly that planned for all of us!

Comment your innovations can get shit on (Score 1) 49

Uniquely fuckmerican problems everyone else has figured out: Guns, health care, the proper place for tipping, the whole jerkoff manifest destiny dogma. Always making up your own childish rules and then hanging yourselves with them, dangling there refusing to admit you screwed up. Gotta protect that fragile worldview that cannot survive actual contact with reality...

news flash guys, "I Did It My Way" is the anthem of a wanker who spends his life continually trying and failing to reinvent the wheel. No progress, all backsliding all the time, #murica!

You won't stop this obvious problem either, just like you didn't stop trump when he attacked your government and are just letting him commit crime after crime and destroy institution after institution, dataset after dataset, tool after tool.

good luck guys

Comment and capitalism is retarded, defended by trolls (Score 0) 221

insurance is crime - a way to make money by reneging on contractual obligations. The legal system doesn't have the spine to enforce the idea that the ins corp must be ready to go bankrupt paying out for disasters - doesn't understand that the role of an insurance company is to volunteer to be destroyed instead, so that it can mitigate disastrous impacts on others. It must be a selfless industry, not a selfish one, or it doesn't work even in principle and we get this disgusting system instead. the legal system allows these companies to build up their edifice of corporate bullshit and then pretend they're a monolith that needs protecting. It does this due to consideration for insurance company employees, who then get to be as evil as they want under the shelter of a stupid system. Justice needs some fuckin eyes.
