FIFA and Paramount are further solidifying the fact that piracy is a good thing, share your illegal sites with everyone, stop going to the cinema, pirate sports, series, and movies.
Fuck the actors, the producers and the media houses. Pirate now more than you ever have before.👍🏾🙏🏾

Libgen, Sci-Hub, and Z-library had millions of pirated academic books and papers.
So, they were shut down. We shouldn't use them anyway.
We should help billion-dollar academic publishers get richer.
Anyway, here's how to access these libraries:
Don't do this!

They unsurprisingly don't show you this graph 👇, made with the EXACT same data as the graph they DO show you (from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute).
Which shows that taken as a share of GDP, China's military budget has actually never been lower, standing at a meagre 1.6% of GDP.
This is:
- Less than half that of the U.S. (3.5%)
- Less than the world average (2.2%)
- Less than the minimum required for NATO members (2%)
So the increase in China's military expenditures in entirely due to the increase in GDP. There is no "buildup" - it's non existent - and in fact the contrary is true: China's military, as a share of its economy, is actually shrinking!
Of course given the fact the Chinese economy has grown very fast, even if military expenditures shrink as a % of the economy, they still grow in absolute numbers. But this is to be expected: if the economy grows, people's wages and the price of everything grow and therefore the amount spent to pay soldiers and various expenses grows proportionally... So for instance in 1990 the average annual wage of urban employees in China was approximately 3,000 yuan whereas today we're at 115,000 yuan, an increase of about 40 times!
All in all, yet another astoundingly dishonest article. Both authors are from the infamous American Enterprise Institute, one of the most hawkish US Think Tanks, so this is to be expected... It's nothing less than a piece of warmongering propaganda.
After sitting with our legal team to parse through the fine print of Apple's DMA announcement (that took a while), which is, at best vague and misleading, I wanted to share my thoughts.
While Apple has behaved badly for years, what they did yesterday represents a new low, even for them. See more info here: https://t.co/2lznqwYujY
