They cost nothing to duplicate, yes, which is why you wouldn't pay as much as a physical book for it.
What's your point?

What about them?
Comparing software that can be copied for free, with physical items, is stupid.
"Just like books cost more ink with a big font, webpages cost more data with a big font"
Nope, that doesn't work, it's absurd. Which is not surprising from a stupid article trying to argue that slop software is the future.

You can call it a stretch because he wasn't directly talking about colonies, but for me it's no secret that he loves the concept of colonies. The guy wants to be an emperor, thinks France is superior to everything, and considers other countries as inferior and deserving to be controlled.
Also, yes he did call it a crime against humanity, but also clearly said that there would be no apologies, going as far as talking about the "happy stories" of colonization.
"While visiting Algeria during this year's presidential election, he called the French colonisation of Algeria a crime against humanity but added that there had been "some great things and some happy stories" in that period of history."

Macron is a fake bitch, that's how he got elected in the first place, but once thing is certain: he doesn't think badly of colonization.
Yeah well Macron dreams of being the supreme emperor of the world.
Let's not forget that he complained that former colonies never thanked France for colonizing them.
And that he admires Napoleon and De Gaulle, who loved the idea of empires and colonies.
So nothing so surprising here.

Seriously, I'm giving you many chances and you never manage to do better.
Just go find someone else to attempt to bother, you do not amuse me anymore.

Yeah, really low quality trolling.

So you are really unable to even counter a single point?
Really, go back to learn how to troll because you are really not good at it. Come back when you're less boring.

There's no point, you're loving to defend rapists and your only way to try to feel like you're right is to spam, enjoy your delusion and the world you've created, and keep up the mental gymnastics to avoid the cognitive dissonance.
Are you from 4chan by any chance? Nevermind, I don't want to know.

If you side with the other guy, then I'm innocent until proven guilty.
Moronic trolls don't even know how to be coherent anymore, it's really pathetic.

Ah, you're one of those team-rapist that consider that it's more common for victims to lie about getting raped, than not? That it's fun to say to the world "hey I've been sexually abused and treated like a worthless crap", while knowing that it's very unlikely that anything will ever happen to the culprit? That's pathetic.
If people accuse me of rape, I'm going to address it. And then you can form your opinion, just like with everything else. This is not. A. Court. You have the right to have a brain on your own, even though you visibly don't use that right.
On top of that, you didn't even just say "accused" but "credibly accused", which means with a relatively good level of credibility. If in a case like that, you decide to still believe that the victims are lying, I'm sorry but you are part of the group of pieces of shit that defend, support and ultimately protect rapists. You decide to say "I will ignore all evidence, and believe a rapist until the victim manages to prove the rape legally, which is in most cases impossible".
You sound like a very nice and likeable person.

What are you even trying to say?
Are you really implying that ideals should overcome justice, even when those ideals have been proven many times to not work?
Are you really saying that rape victims are able to get believed through the legal system, and that rapists get punished?
Keep on defending rape bro.

Are you a judge or a lawyer? Or even, a newspaper?
If not, then why do you have to follow a legal safeguard?
Why are people not saying that Trump is allegedly doing bad stuff, he hasn't been formally condemned, so innocent until proven guilty?
If it's not about defending rapists, then why is it that people only say that when it protects rapists and the like, but not for other criminal activities?
And last but not least, saying innocent until proven guilty about a rapist, is prematurely judging that the victims are lying. So you're deciding to trust someone, and you're trusting the one accused of rape rather than the victims.
But thanks for proving my point.
mra's when
Yeah, that's why as soon as someone gets accused of rape, if you dare say that they're a piece of shit you get a ton of "innocent until proven guilty"
Even on lemmy, people keep on defending rapists. When I dared to complain about the term "allegedly raped" about the son of the princess of whatever that was good friends with epstein who had fucking literal videos that he took of the rape, people started defending it by saying that he's innocent until proven guilty. Inescapable evidence? Believing the many, many victims that reported him? No, let's instead pretend that we are in a court of law so that we can support the rapists.
Most men are definitely not against rape. I'm not sure that most people are, in general. They might be superficially against the idea, but practically speaking they don't want to disturb the social status quo that protects rapists by pretending that rape victims are liars.

Most of the other problems I mentioned are about being raised or growing together. So in your example, it probably would be mostly fine.
My main point is, what does it bring to try to make exceptions when the only exceptions that are not bad are very, very unlikely, and do not bring anything more than any other relationship would?
In your case, sure, the two sisters could get together, fine. But if they got together while knowing they are from the same family, it does raise a weird point, and if they did not know then fine. But how many offspring-free relationships between two people that didn't know they were related, exist? How many of those last? I cannot imagine such a big proportion, so what is the point of making an exception, that on the other hand will bring in a lot of problems and creepy behaviours trying to fit in it.

This is also a weird case, because the problem with age difference is maturity, which is not measurable as of now. A 30 years old dating a 50 years old is weird, but less than a 20 years old dating a 40 years old, and yet all of these also can vary based on individuals. And most people wouldn't see a problem with a 70 years old going with a 90 years old. That's why it's struggle to make well-defined laws about it.
For incest, once again, the problems are the norm, and then maybe you can find some exceptions. But why push it to be fine and allowed, when it doesn't bring anything, again? It's just opening for more issues to come, with no real benefit because incest is, in most cases rather than not, a problem.
And how do you prevent problems of offsprings, or of dominant position? Do you have to sterilize by force people in such relationships, after having them investigated to check that the relationship is actually consensual? Who would need to have sex with their relative so much that they would want to go through all this? That's why I'm saying that it just feels like a lot of trouble and problems, for nothing good.

With the difference being that incest brings a lot of problems that other relationships don't. Offsprings are one, I mentioned others, and I'm sure you could find more.
It's not a tool, it's a chaos generator.
