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.
Companies often spend a lot on packaging to make their product seem more attractive than it really is...
Who would have thought that the pro-pedophile party would take such a position?
It also undermines the entire petrodollar/Bretton Woods system that gives the almighty US dollar its power. This will be a big win for China, when countries start trading in their USD for Yuan buy oil.
To an extent, yes, but they could do it much more easily and accurately if there was a unique, biometric identifier associated with all your actions across your devices which cannot be disabled.
It isn't even just the government, big tech wants this too. They want to be able to track everything you do with your computer, and that's more easily achieved if OS level identification is required. Big tech wants it for data harvesting and ad targeting, the government wants it for surveillance and narrative control. The end goal is government verified digital ID that will be required to use any operating system. There will be no anonymity anymore. This creates a panopticon effect in which people police themselves because they know they are always being watched. Furthermore, the information you receive in your social media feeds and web searches can be silently curated based on what is known about your political attitudes. It can all be managed by AI.
This is the correct answer
He just wants the picture of him getting blown by Trump to be released.
Pretty sure this is the direction big tech and government want to take things. Mandatory ID to use your operating system, perfect tracking and as targeting, no anonymity, censorship, consolidated monopolies, etc. Pornhub won't be the only website requiring verified OS and ID. They want to build a locked down, surveiled internet, and moral panics are the way they're doing it.
