Well, races are different in some ways, and humor exists, so if that makes me racist some of the time so be it.

The problems I have are for very specific categories. A lot of the reality tv isn’t available because they are meant to be watched during the time period they air. The more popular ones are still there, jersey shore for example. Documentaries can be hit or miss, especially the ones that were released for free already on a random site or YouTube. You can always download those directly from the web page though.

Sometimes I have trouble with very old seasons of shows. Usually its easier to find an entire show torrent, but sonarr can’t handle multi-season downloads so you have to do it manually.

I have more trouble with things that should be automated requiring manaual intervention than the things not being available at all.

Storage and acquisition machine sounds badass!

Nuance seems rare in these posts sometimes, I appreciate your post!

Its almost like you think pirating something has no effect on anything.

You can upgrade to satisfactory now! Its like factorio all growed up!

They are saying that. Its a button on the microwave, you hit it before or after the time input, but its not usually a repeatedly hit button. On mine I would hit the time I wanted, then power, then the number for the percent power I want like 5 is 50%, then start.

I do have a potatoe button that works by pressing it over and over to select weight though.

Apparently whatever the person you replied to feels it is supposed to be. Something something common sense.

The trolley argument was always nonsense with regards to the presidential election.

In a hypothetical trolley problem, you will know the consequences of each choice. That is not something anyone is able to say when it comes to which president will cause most harm. They clearly wanted to harm different people, but noone will know which one would have hurt the most of those people.

So the trolley problem changed to one track with one set of victims, and another with a different set of victims, and people would argue back and forth that each other got the set of victims wrong.

Arguing over nothing in my opinion, and I did it myself.

As for this assassination, its as simple as feeling good when your enemy is hurt/loses/dies/fails. Its a reaction and is entirely reasonable for it to happen. I do think though, that the best thing that could have happened was that the CEO realized his mistakes and spent his time and money thereafter working vigorously to fix them.

He had amassed quite a lot of money and power, it could have been used for a tremendous amount of good if he had the will to do it suddenly.

Dont take polls so seriously. Even pollsters know that they have no idea how accurate they might be.

Good one

Thats great and all but it requires a self-first attitude to feel no remorse over stealing or causing harm to others.

Many addictions start with someone thinking they are smarter than everyone else and have ultimate control over themselves. I wish you the best of luck but your argument in a public space has the potential to inspire someone to harm themselves.

Maybe you should give some thought to why you deserve to make your own rules and yet still participate in society.

Fair point but you seem to be doing the same moral high roading yourself.

Hypocrit.

Noone said you couldn’t comprehend it, but that you chose not to. You haven’t replied to any of the contradictions they pointed out either, which makes it look like you either aren’t reading the replies or you think for some reason they dont require a rebuttal.

I dont think using drugs regularly is comparable to pirating software. Pirating isnt going to affect your ability to reason or think. I also wouldnt use the legality of alcohol as an excuse to do other drugs, especially opioids.

It sounds like you are frustrated that people who also do bad things will judge you for doing other bad things, which makes them hypocrites. But it also means you agree with them to a degree that what you are doing is a bad thing, doesnt it?

I can hate bad corporate practices and also think that piracy is stealing. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Why do people seem like they hate pirates more, to you? Likely a bias because you are a pirate, and not working for a corporation.

In my opinion I hear more critiques of big business than of piracy. I also dont find these threads full of people saying negative things about piracy, but thats a matter of perspective.

I also pirate, but theres a reason I’d rather pay for it if I can afford it.

If you need to use long term disability you do. Also some workplaces ask for a doctors note for multiple days sick.

You don’t have to give a personal reason. Just say “sick” and hang up.

Well you did just state my first point in more words, so yes I agree, since artists aren’t getting paid in most cases anyways, stealing their work is sort of morally grey, but mostly because its not their work anymore.

But thats not true across the board, and its impossible to know which companies are the ones that do treat their employees well enough that it would affect them to steal it.

So why don’t we maybe repair that bond between an artist and their work so that it makes sense not to steal art from people again? Copyright could be changed to do this couldn’t it?
