Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"

    I'm going to have to spend a couple hours at least today after work to sort it out.

  • Feels like most top results are chatgpt now, doesn't matter what you search for. The top result when I was looking for an estimated cost of fencing had a paragraph telling itself to describe the costs and blah blah
