every fossil fuel is converting carbon chains into a gaseous carbon oxide. Coal, oil, gasoline, candle wax, logs, you can burn diamonds and graphite if you want. It’s like looking for a radiation free source of nuclear energy.

snuffing out whistleblowing on government corruption

pfft, remember all those countries telling Israel they better not bomb Rafah?

So anyway they started blastin’

it looks like they photoshopped weapons to replace cameras. A part time military commander?

country contemplating no longer actively endorsing ethnic cleansing

Wow, fuck the european commission i guess. Subsidize your own EV’s.

you should brush up on what the office of President entails.

No its like a drop in a container that can hold a hundred drops.

But instead of drops its friends and families slaughtered

It wouldnt be in israels interests to deflate death tolls?

Wow they clearin debris for the illegal settlements pretty early

Gaza is civilian. It’s a city, an extremely densely populated city. So if Hamas is anywhere in their own land, Israel can make this accusation. What bullshittery to think an invading country slaughtering your population gets to make demands of the where your military is allowed to be in your own country.

Not processing our waste water through water treatment plants is also cheaper. Our bodies dont care that the toxic water saved us some money, and earth’s climate doesnt care about our economy either.

Bunch of BS theater. Look at em acting like theyre doing anything. No country needs the rest of the world to give them permission to address the climate crisis themselves. Get to building renewable energy and taking down fossil fuel companies.

I still remember that time republicans spent 4th of July in Moscow.

I do get paid for my work and am well aware of what my work is worth. Not what I’d like for it to be worth, but the reality of people spending money on what I make.

Aint shit been stolen. it’s willingly given. Spotify doesnt have to buy their music, they dont have to let spotify use their music. They paid for it this year, they’re letting artists know ahead of time, hey we’re not paying that price next year. And there is zero obligation for the artists to continue letting spotify use their music next year.

so take your music off of spotify, no one is making you give them your music.

Im an artist trying to make a living with my art. Its not like a normal job where youre profitable from the beginning. Shit is competitive, people dont want to spend money on stuff they can get for free, unless its really good. A thousand free views doesnt amount to a dime for anyone. I can and do outright sell some art, but its taken like hundreds of thousands of free views before i was good enough where anyone would give me money for it. You could also compare like patreon subscribers to twitter followers, it is a huge ratio, way more than 1000:1. You can sell your art, you can go a subscriber model, you can be hired for your art, there are plenty of avenues to profit from your art, but the bottom line is people have to willingly pay money for it.

you dont have to let them monetize anything. host it yourself, or sell your music on other sites.

It’s sort of a sliding scale between: making content that is popular enough for a platform to make considerable revenue from it and wants to pay you a portion to keep you there, because your content is competitive and could be making other platforms money. Or, it’s a free hosting site for data you’re uploading that’s funded with ads. Every other platform I know with this model, like Youtube or Twitch, have a cutoff between the two, it’s a hosting site for users until they’re popular enough to become business partners with a monetary agreement. It’s two way freedom between each party, spotify doesnt have to pay anyone anything, and no one has to host their content on spotify.

This isnt a retroactive change of terms, it’s new terms starting next year. Everyone’s getting what was agreed to this year. If they dont support the new terms, they can leave the platform. They wont, because they’re using it as a free hosting platform and not a money maker, maybe with hopes they’ll be popular enough someday.
