It would just be nice if it was concentrated to one place but I guess I’ll keep having to play wack a mole.

I have no grievance with them, I just don’t care for the grievances they share with their employers. It was easy on reddit since it was just one sub I had to filter but here they keep popping up.

I keep blocking work reform pages but more keep popping up from different instances. Is there a way to globally block any instance that contains a specific word or phrase?

This is just another example of mental gymnastics when it comes to piracy.

Primarily because I pirate the majority of media I consume.

I really couldn’t care if people judged me for my reasons, I pirate because I’m selfish just like the vast majority of people who pirate. But if you’re living in a country where content restrictions or regional pricing isn’t an issue, or if you’re downloading something that isn’t in circulation anymore then you’re in all likelihood pirating because you’re selfish.

It’s their IP, they can distribute it in any way they see fit. It doesn’t entitle you to steal it just because you disagree with how it’s distributed.

I seriously don’t understand the mental gymnastics here. We pirate because we’d rather get something for free than pay for it. There are certainly cases when someone is forced to pirate a product due to copyright restrictions in their country but that isn’t the case most of the time for people like us who pirate. We’re just selfish and there’s noting wrong with admitting that.

What principals? That we’re selfish? I pirate shit all the time but it’s not out of any sort of righteousness, I’d just rather get something for free than pay for it if the option is there.

Someone directed me towards 1337 and it’s been a fine alternative so far.
