As someone else said, they pay royalties. Secondly, because they are not costing musicians their jobs. DJs aren’t stealing artists jobs, music labels aren’t dropping musicians for DJs, and DJs are at least putting some level of effort to create something (which I will admit is debatable and the weakest argument).
Not illegal, just unethical. You effectively stole people’s art and are profitting off of it. Considering AI is being used to take jobs from artists and writers by stealing their work, you are a scab
That’s what the cover is for. The cover is your first impression of a book.
The only good clanker is a dead clanker
I think followers and chat are a good idea because I could follow my friends and share memes directly to them through Lemmy rather than have to download and share it externally. But besides that yeah
Copyright is stupid, but besides that I agree. We should be developing our own identity, not trying to copy reddit
Cops serve and protect capital, not you. There is never going to be a situation where law enforcement doesn’t become authoritarian and only protect those in power. Law enforcements has routinely shown they are class traitors and have no qualms supporting corporations in crushing unions. Cops should not exist, let alone have unions, which will only ever be used to protect themselves from facing consequences and taking accountability. All WORKERS should be unionized. Cops are not workers, they are class traitors who wouldn’t think twice about arresting you for trying to use your union to get better working conditions. 40% of cops are abusers, and they only solve 2% of crime. Studies show rehabilition and restorative justice as well as providing people with their basic needs is more effective at reducing crime and protecting people. Abolish the police, abolish prisons, ACAB
You are victim blaming, congratulations.
You’re the kind of person that would sell out your jewish neighbors during the holocaust to save your own skin.
You liberals through your arab people under the bus to save yourselves. You had the power to demand a better candidate and help others, but instead you put your own privileges and rights over that of the arab people. Those of us who protest voted did so while standing in solidarity with Palestine. Those of you who voted for Kamala, and are now blaming protest voters, effectively spit in the face of arabs to protect yourself. You told them that your life is worth more than theirs and you are now blaming them for the consequences you brought on yourself. You vote for the Democrats time and time again despite them moving more and more right and you expect change. Voting for the lesser evil just makes the lesser evil more evil. You reached the end where now people aren’t even okay with voting for the lesser evil. You didn’t push for real change and are now blaming minorities and the people who stand by them for not wanting to play your game anymore.
I do not care if you voted for Kamala. I don’t think the people who voted for Kamala are bad people. I understand why you would vote for Kamala. I think you are a bad person if you voted for Kamala and are now trying to blame and shame minorities and the people who stood with them in solidarity for why Trump got elected.
Fascists coopting a meme to spread racism and overall bigotry is not at all the same as leftists using Luigi as a dog whistle to signal violence towards oppressors. Its like equating the far right and the far left. The far left want equality for all, and the far right want to fucking commit genocide. They are not equivocal at all.
From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.
Might not be accounting for posts on communities you aren’t federated with
I have the nsfw blur setting off lol
