We've finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it's a more popular platform.

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don't do enough about it.

Oh but didn't you know that's just a slippery slope argument and he's really just a cool dude and who doesn't encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don't want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I made it pretty clear he's a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

Defending a pedophile doesn't make one a pedophile. That's the stretch I'm arguing against.

I can't believe I'm defending Stallman here. He's got so many other reasons to be hated.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don't think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He's said he's fine with child pornography (as long as it's consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn't make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

A lot of people don't realize the difference between psychologists and psychiatrists. It doesn't help that a lot of places offer "therapy with medication management" so it's all through the same place but with two different people.

After we lost that one expensive spacecraft we've been moving towards metric more and more there as well.

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

"Living the dream" is also in the US but it's usually more sarcastic like "Just another shitty day at this job, just living the dream!"

All of those are widespread in the northeast US if not across the entire US.
