    Digging up 10 year old nothing burgers? What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you not have real problems with real Nazis? Who the fuck cares that this guy did shady stuff as a teenager >10 years ago?

    I’m sure they will grow out of it, by the time they turn 21

    (This is intended as an amusing reference to DOGE’s habit of hiring surprisingly young professionals.)

    So now you want people to hate BitTorrent cause someone used it that works with Elon? God this does make Democrats look looney. I really wish people would stop taking the bait.

      I don’t see any mention of torrents in the article?

        I said torrent because it is common to download & share content. My point was that I really don’t fucking care if some pirates content. It doesn’t influence how I judge them as a person.

      Nowhere in the article does it say anything like that. It’s pretty straight forward reporting - the guy ran some websites and distributed pirated books and software, and hacked a few websites. No judgements are passed, it’s just factual information.

        I wasn’t referring to you specifically… I was referring to the journalist that wrote this crap. It is pointless. There are actual character flaws like participating in dismantling the government & ignoring the constitution.
