Thanks for the info. Too bad Weinstein ever had anything to do with Hollywood….or humanity for that matter.

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking that Kevin Smith wouldn’t even mind having his films torrented.

Any idea what happened with Dogma? Obviously ruffled many feathers at the time it was released, but I’d hope it’s not in danger of becoming a lost film. Just to make sure, I better go torrent it today.

Which button do I press for infinite upvotes?

This is glorious and I’m convinced!

The Palestinians have suffered more than enough, and the US is entirely complicit in that suffering already.

Fuck that shit. We don’t want your garbage. That country has already shit on us enough for generations.

I have no idea why anyone left the high seas in the first place. The wind blows so gloriously strong out here, and the more the merrier, so come back to your past to build a future together.

All these shitty streaming companies need to be collapsed. I’d rather make my hard earned cash walk the plank than give any of it to them.

I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.

It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?

I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.

Fuck, that last bit cracked me up. Consider it stolen.

I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.

I greatly prefer reading that to “boutta.”

Great info. Thanks so much! I’m no defender of Word or of Microsoft, so I’m always on the lookout for alternatives, though Libre Office most often suits my rather simple needs.

A glance at their website says that the data is only stored in Europe, though on Azure servers encrypted at rest to which Microsoft holds the encryption keys. That last bit is an absolute deal-breaker for me.

Zero- knowledge encryption or don’t waste my time. I’m not putting legal/medical/etc docs into the cloud with only a “trust me bro” from the creators of Co-Pilot.
