lemmy.world rule 1:

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material

c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com rule 3:

Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles

So c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com doesn't even break that rule. It's for discussion. Unless you take a very broad reading of not allowing the sharing of resources that could be used to pirate copyrighted material, but that's not an issue anywhere else

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

The problem is this is still pretty vague. The communities that were blocked weren't sharing copyrighted material, but resources for finding and sharing said material. You might think this is being overly literal but I'm pretty sure it's the same loophole that allows reddit to host r/piracy without getting into legal trouble.

On the other hand, if we take this rule at face value it could be interpreted as not allowing the sharing of any kind of content without the express permission of the creators. This could include photographs, artwork, videos, and maybe more.

So it's not an issue of people being lazy or ignorant, but overly broad/vague rules

It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people's private property alone. But if it's an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art

Socialist by degree - but he mentions these things but not necessarily replacing the current system entirely. This is basically market socialism, which many (mainly Marxist-Leninists and the like) do not consider true socialism. There are a lot of MLs on lemmy. Hence my saying I'm surprised no one has come in yet to tell him he's not going far enough. We came close, someone called these fixes with the possible implication that he isn't going far enough, but not outright

If you're going to break it down that far, why stop? Your "self" is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It's your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.

Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it

I'm 27, but right at this moment I'd caution my younger self not to build my future around someone else. Twice now I've found someone I wanted to marry, and, well, life happens.

Anyone can leave you. Yes, even them. None of us think we'll break up with the one we love but it happens to almost all of us.

The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry

Not the guy you asked, but: to make money. Obviously the more money you have the more you make, but 10% return is 10% return. Anyone can invest and it's a wise financial decision that can really pay off, especially if you start while young
