This comment sums up my feelings really well. In general, ad blocking in no way constitutes piracy because most piracy laws focus on the redistribution of pirated content and not the consumption. It's why piracy cases are so difficult to persecute.

If only governments actually recognized this threat. They crave antagonistic encounters because it dominates the public discourse and action on climate change takes a back seat.
Yeah I agree. NATO originally formed in 1949, which is a world and a half different from the current world we currently live in.
I think the former is likely to happen over war. There will be some sort of law that restricts NATO membership or the like. Russia is considered to be in a partnership for peace with NATO, and that's likely where the dialogue is surrounding. I think the number of NATO members who would rather negotiate peace outweigh the larger more influential members advocating for provocation (US and UK). I really want to see peace in the region.
Just finally read that linked article, and from where I stand, and the author of the article stands, Russia really has no right to make these demands. Nothing was officially agreed upon (signed by both parties). People give political promises all the time, but nothing is real until signed. What are your thoughts on that?
I think who is winning is something neither you or I know enough classified intelligence to make definitive statements on. What we have been fed is propaganda from both sides. My other question is, if Russia wants a buffer between NATO countries, then wouldn't invading Ukraine put Russian borders right up against NATO borders (Romania, Hungry, etc.)? I'm not seeing the logic in it.
I am curious though, if Russia says they aren't going to invade Ukraine, then why are they doing this massive military build up? Like what is the point? If the US/NATO refuse to cooperate with Russian demands... then what? Nothing? Do they just stay there?
This happens for me as well.
Dope! I'm glad. The two members of that group also have a band called The Whitest Boy Alive that has a slightly different style as well. Would recommend.
Not in the sidebar, but, you could switch your homepage feed to All communities and sort by either active or hot to get the same effect. That's where they would pull their posts from in this case anyways.
A tactic as old as time. That's essentially the backbone of what sanctions are. Attack the people in hopes they will revolt against their gov't.
I ususally add "reddit" to my search terms when I'm looking for recommendations. At least I know I'm getting crowd sourced opinions and not a stupid ranked list where every company paid for their product to be on it...
