Copium bruh. The creators are making this content with the expectation of being paid for their labour. By pirating you are denying them of this regardless of your reasons for doing so. Saying it's mostly "corpos who host the content" is the ones you're scamming is just shifting the blame. If nobody paid for subscriptions etc corporations wouldn't profit and thus wouldn't host or fund content and it's creators. Obviously giving creators a larger slice is better, but denying them of anything because you think that is hypocritical (which I am)

I'm okay with piracy. I think a lot of people feel the need to justify it with phrases like "it's not stealing it's just copying," among others. To me that seems like being in denial about the moral ambiguity of what you're doing. There's so much free media out there you don't need to pirate the stuff that isn't.
Personally I'm okay with being told I'm a thief and am scamming the creators who worked hard on a product. Idc I'm broke, bored, interested in your thing and can steam it in HD from a website instantly. No login, no ads, no worries. I'm a pirate through and through and part of being a pirate is being morally bankrupt lol.

Imo the best politicians are those who aren't monetarily motivated. Obviously earning enough to live comfortably should be provided, but if the median earner in Australia isn't living comfortably then that is a failure of our politicians. How can someone who earns over 100 000 dollars a year and is insulated from the hardships of the common Australian be expected to really take those issues seriously in parliament. Fill parliament with people who can't afford homes and the housing crisis would be solved tomorrow. The reality is politicians take the issues that effect them the most seriously. And the issues that effect them currently are the issues of the wealthy.

"Nobody at a factory spends a week working on a report, only for their boss to decide on a Friday afternoon that everything is wrong and needs to be redone by Monday"
This is absolutely not true. Mechanics, factory workers, labourers all get fucked over like this all the time. The mental strain of a job isn't greater for people who work at a desk it's just the only strain they experience as opposed to someone who works with their hands who has to deal with the physical and mental demands of their labour.

I think components being 3d printed is more likely. It's pretty hard to do cookie cutter complex objects like apartment buildings and family homes. Things like bricks, supports, ducts, pipes, insulation are much more adaptable. I think a hot take of mine is that 3d printing isn't gonna be the next big thing in construction and manufacturing. There's really sophisticated and efficient methods of doing those things on an industrial scale now that I don't see 3d printers matching. I do think 3d printers will play a bigger role for personal use. Having a tool that could print out many different household objects just for one person seems useful. Things like toothbrushes, housing components for electronics, ceramics like plates and glasses.
