    No, people who commonly do bad things, will often justify it to themselves and others by thinking most people do the same thing. And despite their protesting and arguing, they’re pretty much always wrong.

    I’ve heard more than one petty thief confidently claim that “everyone” steals something like a candybar when they go to the store. And it’s why there are so many stories of cheaters accusing their partner of cheating.



  • It’s actually very rare that Hollywood makes non-nature movies that use correct animal sounds(and it’s often not correct in animal focused ones either). For birds they especially tend to use sounds that are exclusive to North America, even if the setting is in on another continent.

    There’s the classic of kids asking why they’ve never heard the “ribbit ribbit” sound in nature: The pacific tree frog only lives on the west coast of North America.

    And let’s not forget almost every single time you see a bear “roaring”, it’s almost always mixed in with lion roars and such. In real life a black bear “roar” sounds more like a cow going “moo”.




  • I tried looking up some communities after I saw people complain about them. And 99.9999% of it is people venting about being told for the 50th time in twenty years that they’ll change their mind about having kids any day now. Or doctors refusing hysterectomies to unmarried women because they don’t have their husband consent(this still regularly happens in the US and Europe. To the point where there are resources where you can look up doctors who aren’t living in the 50s). Then you see the community brought up by other people and they’re often described as filled with people who want to murder children.

    It’s honestly quite wild how much people take those generalized accusations at face value because they saw one or two peoeple say something inappropriate.

    The Librarian of Congress also appoints and oversees the Register of Copyrights of the U.S. Copyright Office and has broad responsibilities around copyright, extending to electronic resources and fair use provisions outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The librarian determines whether particular works are subject to DMCA prohibitions regarding technological access protection.

    A puppet in charge of copyright and DMCA, combined with the Take it Down act, etc. are just steps on the path of ultimate censorship and government control of published content.
