I just talk to people how they talk to me.

 

The person sharing their unpopular opinion is doing exactly what's expected of them, so why downvote it when you agree that's it's an unpopular opinion? An upvote would be you agreeing that it's an unpopular opinion. Downvoting it means you're either an A-hole or you disagree that it's an unpopular opinion.

Now I leave you with a joke. Silver was walking down the street and bumped into gold. Silver says "Ey, You'. Gold replies "Ey, G!"

 

What makes you think you matter? You don't. Sure you have a small group of people that like you, but I don't like you because I don't know you. The person walking down the street doesn't care about you. You talk tough and that's it. You're irrelevant to the grand scheme. When the earth begins to burn you're going to burn along with the vast majority of the rest of the world. No one cares. You want to hate, fine. Do it. Where does that get you at the end of the day? No where. And you will continue being nothing to so many people. Stamp your feet, scream, cry. Do whatever you have to do. It will change nothing. You can change nothing. Regardless of how hard you try to impact people, you never will. And why is that? Because you're irrelevant. You're dissatisfied with everything and everyone around you because you can never be satisfied and that makes you miserable. So what do you do? You share your misery. You do the same exact thing that's been done to you so many times, but that's ok right? Because it's not your fault right? Everyone screams for change, but all we do is the same things over and over again. So if that's the case, why does it matter? Why do you matter? Whit makes you and your thoughts more important than the next person? You're not good enough because no one is good enough and no one ever will be.

What I find the funniest is blaming everything around you as being wrong, you're surrounded by bad people and enemies, yet you never question whether you're the problem. Don't worry about it though because it's a new minute so I'm sure you have something new to hate

 

I would like to filter out all the porn posts without blocking all of NSFW posts. I like porn as much as the next guy, but every other post I see is porn. I've been blocking the individual communities, but that doesn't stop anything. Is there specific keywords to use or is it just all NSFW or no NSFW?

 

So If you don't know about the site. It was a site to get free text books and reading material. Essentially a library archive where any person could get access to any book that was put on the internet for free(novels, poems, short stories, textbooks, etc...) However the U.S. gov shut the site down under two U.S. fed laws. U.S. Code 18 subsection 981(b) (which is the first U.S. code claimed) states:

"Any property, real or personal, within the jurisdiction of the United States, constituting, derived from, or traceable to, any proceeds obtained directly or indirectly from an offense against a foreign nation, or any property used to facilitate such an offense, if the offense— (i)involves trafficking in nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological weapons technology or material, or the manufacture, importation, sale, or distribution of a controlled substance (as that term is defined for purposes of the Controlled Substances Act), or any other conduct described in section 1956(c)(7)(B); (ii)would be punishable within the jurisdiction of the foreign nation by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year; and (iii)would be punishable under the laws of the United States by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year, if the act or activity constituting the offense had occurred within the jurisdiction of the United States."

Keep in mind the site was for textbooks. If someone uploaded sensitive material on a privately owned site, then they themselves have a breach that they are taking out on private citizens.

The second subsection that's claimed is U.S. Code 21 subsection 853(f) which states:

"The Government may request the issuance of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property subject to forfeiture under this section in the same manner as provided for a search warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause to believe that the property to be seized would, in the event of conviction, be subject to forfeiture and that an order under subsection (e) may not be sufficient to assure the availability of the property for forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the seizure of such property.'

So what I'm interpreting from all of this is the U.S. government sees free knowledge as a danger because they literally shut this site down under the guise of a national threat. And then if you read the second U.S. code they claim, it essentially says that they can take whatever they want as long as they want it bad enough. So free knowledge is terrorism and those who give free knowledge are subject to forfeiture?

I'm not without fault however, so if there is someone who can interpret this in a barney style way that way I could understand it better, please feel free
