Wow, base 12, I never thought of thas! You halve it, quarter it, and third it, and still end up with clean integers.
Oh no what a viscous and cowardly attack by these gunmen why won't the gunmen leave us alone these horrible gunmen they just love shooting guns at people for no reason why are they like this
Of course we'll also have to comply when the government wants lists of people with attitudes of anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity.
Consumer sentiment is down but it's just because people are losing trust the system that is economically rigged against them, that's all.
The argument goes that stealing involves taking something from someone, whearas pirating produces a copy. If you take someone's car, they don't have a car anymore, but copy their game and now you both have one.
That said, I don't think it follows from "buying isn't owning" that "piracy isn't stealing". Its a pithy slogan that captures a mood, but I don't think it really makes sense.
Your position, I believe, is more coherent: "I don't care if it is stealing". It might not technically be stealing, but its a breach of the terms of the sale that you tacitly agreed to when buying.
Something similar can be said for adblocking. People argue that it is "stealing" because there is a breach of the terms of use, and the ads fund the content. It might not really technically be stealing, but it is simpler to just say "I don't care what it is, I don't feel bad for giant corporations". You can also say this about shoplifting.
The comment says a lot about what some people think therapy is for, too.
Help! We can't extract wealth from Brazil! It's unfair!
RickyRigatoni's reply was valid. The OP mentioned Iran killing 20k protestors as a MAGAt excuse for Trump's illegal and stupid war. You called this "whitewashing", which it isn't, because even though the killings did occur, they do not constitute a valid justification as the MAGAts claim.. This was RickyRigatoni's point. Nobody is defending or denying Iran's killing of protesters.
