Philosophic?

Now I'm worried about the AI being programmed to emotionally manipulate people

They are either domestic bootlegs or imports. If cigarettes were actually fully banned, organized crime groups would begin mass cigarette smuggling and manufacturing operations. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true

Not necessarily. People could actually start smoking more because tax free cigarettes are astronomically cheaper

Moving the goalposts or something like that?

Humans have been smoking tobacco for thousands of years. Banning it will only allow the black market to swell to an unimaginable size

First and foremost, people have the right to slowly kill themselves with cigarettes as long as it isn't harming innocent bystanders.

Arguably more importantly, the proposed ban is worryingly dystopian.

Finally, agreeing with anything Sunak does is unforgivable. And in this case would reflect neo-liberal sympathies.

I know this is satire, but hear me out: this movie as horror is also applicable to the "far-left". We are afraid of advertisements, cars, pollution, consumerism and poor urban infrastructure

This is the situation I am in right now. It hasn't happened for months but I really needed to catch up on sleep, apparently. It used to happen all the time and I would just pull all nighters but that started giving me really bad anxiety when I'd have to go out into the world on no sleep.

Thinking I'll just take whatever sleep I can get then force myself out of bed in the morning, and try not to lose the plot with the irritating people I have to deal with at college.

Does melatonin work well for you?

Now I'm left wondering who filmed that video, they clearly knew the bomb was about to go off

No shit, we've known this for years ever since Portugal did it

In this question I was more specifically referring to the psychological warfare between citizens, in the quest for dominance and control in the social hierarchy present in our societies

Just imagine how bad it is for the employees

True. Otherwise, it would be flooded with malware

The caption was absolutely essential. I never would have understood this meta-level humour without it

From what I've seen its not exactly easy to get upload privileges on any decent indexer

Sorry,I should have written P2P. A vpn is advisable for public tracker torrents but not necessary for private trackers. Yes torrents can/are also p2p but public trackers are, by nature, not necessarily safe to use your real IP on. With soulseek you're downloading directly from one user's computer so the risk of getting a criminal charge is basically nonexistent as far as I know. https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulseek/comments/qs4qud/im_new_at_soulseek_do_i_need_to_use_vpn/

By the way, anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in any way here

This feels at least a little bit xenophobic

If the only reason you want to use soulseek is to save money, then paying for a VPN wouldn't work out that much cheaper than Spotify premium as far as I'm aware. As you are appear rather paranoid, perhaps a modded Spotify frontend would be best.

However, a VPN isn't really necessary for soulseek as it is ptp.

But, I would actually (obviously) recommended switching to soulseek as that allows you to build your own library of lossless audio files, which then of course involves spending large sums of money on high capacity drives but is a fun hobby to have.

In the same vein, dark souls prepare to die edition.

The original dark souls is impossible to legally acquire (other than managing to snag a physical copy, which is quite rare these days) as from soft removed it from storefronts in order to maximize profit on the remaster.
