Just off the top of my head, they could be using the evidence of a person donating to a torrent group as probable cause to see what other illegal activity that person has been up to…

I was mostly joking in response to why a torrent tracker would be asking for donations in a cryptocurrency that can be traced…

Unless the site has been high jacked by the feds and they want to be able to track people 🧐

Yeah, if you manage to find anything please send me a PM. I have access to a private tracker that does have some STL files but I would really like to get into Materialize…

In reality I would do what most people would and just keep to myself…

Just thought I would add some comedy to the thread 😎

“Im sorry, but you are fucking stunning… if I told you you had an amazing body, would you hold it against me?” ^{cue cheesy smile}

It’s probably not going to get me anywhere but it might make her laugh, or at least not file sexual harassment charges for speaking to her… lol

Trump again floats the idea of serving a third presidential term (May 20th, 2024)

This is me.

Parents are baby boomers but had me really late. I used to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in my Super Mario themed tightey whitey underwear when I was like 4 years old…

I remember in my small town leaving the house on my bike when I was 5 years old at sun up, and being gone playing with friends until the street lights came on, because that was when dinner was ready. I could easily have killed myself or been kidnapped, my parents didn’t see me for 12+ hours at a time.

I’m from Oklahoma and I remember the walls of my schools Gym shaking from the Murrah Federal Building bombing.

I was in Middle School and remember lots of high schoolers having gun racks, with hunting rifles, in their trucks parked in the student parking lot. And it was normal.

I was in A+ classes at a community college while in high school and watched a live stream of the TODAY show as the second plane hit the WTC tower…

I’ve watched the world go to shit, I have a kid that just turned 18 and I’m angry that they won’t get to live in a world that even resembles the one I grew up in.

I’m just fucking angry.

I would like to offer a different take on this, even if I’ll be downvoted to hell for it…

So, using Walmart in the US as an example:

They hire people to push carts from the cart returns back to the building and those people are also responsible for snagging the stragglers as well. By putting the cart back in the correct place you are reducing the amount of work that an hourly employee has to do during their shift, thereby reducing their potential hours and potential pay.

For me, it’s the same reason I hate the self checkout, because I’m not getting a discount for running a self serve register but Walmart is saving money by not paying an employee to do it.

I get how using a self checkout is nice because I don’t have to deal with a human, but the human I no longer have to deal with is another potential employee that was getting a paycheck…

I use Avelon for Lemmy, it lets me hold on images to copy or download them to share with my friends…
