She is an amateur. She should just say that she didn’t know them and it’s certainly a democrats conspiracy.

So, there is value in labels after all?

What is stopping them? But it seems that general consensus here is that artists would like you to listen for free and here and there buy something from them.

It is really refreshing how this thread spins in “we know what’s best for the artists, certainly not paying for listening to their streams, that’s exactly what they want”. If you don’t want to use Spotify, that’s fine, I don’t want to either because they are an awful company. But that doesn’t make you the person who create the rules for artists nor does it give you the permission to listen to illegal content.

It’s not just Spotify, it content is free for all, then who is buying?

First, what am I using is beyond the point and I’m not using Spotify because of their payment method and their politics. And again, if albums are on streaming services, they are voluntarily there, are they not?

Yes, sure, but if those don’t get paid, artists don’t get paid. And artists are not forced to pick a label, they are free to go solo, but they still prefer labels, so it’s not that black and white labels bad, artists good

So the artists get paid even less than from Spotify?

Do you know how it ended?

Why should we bend to the will of Nazi’s? I don’t want to help them exploit us !

I wouldn’t put too much faith in (any actually) Canada government not to bend. Hope they don’t, though.

And the bully of the almost a century award goes to … drums … US. (has been bullying Cuba since 1960).

I use cake build to create the build script and then I can run it from wherever.

They provide the weapons so we can help them with imperialism. Also while Europe doesn’t (?) blindly support Israel, the second biggest genocide enabler comes from EU and third (probably) comes from ex-EU. Yes, there are some European countries that don’t blindly support Israel, but at the best they whine a bit about our concern.

Greenland wants a word with you

Gulf of Venezuela? It could be renamed to Gulf of America.

Where is the FIFA award for that now?

Yes, they’re pushing so much all over the front it will take 100 years to conquer Ukraine. Lol.

You do realize that the ground lost is most likely forever, unless something really bad happens to Russia which is highly unlikely, right? They don’t need to conquer entire Ukraine.

The US is still sending weapons. Check that reality.

US is selling weapons to European/NATO countries and even that is limited. On the other hand US is appeasing and siding with Putin wherever they can which speaks more than those profit from selling weapons.

Of course Ukraine doesn’t have infinite resources but they are spending theirs much more wisely.

Sure they do and at the same time they don’t have enough of those. What is the endgame here? Hoping that Russia collapses somehow before they conquer whatever they are set to?

And yet, they are advancing. And while those tactics seems laughable, guess who is copying them. Yes, Ukraine is (haven’t yet heard of animals, though - but many others laughable tactics like nets over roads, wire cages on tanks and other vehicles, using motorbikes etc. Ukraine does, too)

OK, you are speaking like the Ukraine has infinite resources and tactically loosing ground just to deplete Russia. I’m sure that they have the plan to loose strategically important cities just for that.

US continue to back Ukraine? Please, do a reality check. While EU is only backing Ukraine halfheartedly and not even the entire EU.
