Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?
  • I used to pirate a lot more when I couldn't afford to fill my media desires. Nowadays I'm a bit more principalled, I'm not paying collector prices for old super Nintendo games for instance. That shit gets emulated and if I've already bought a game on console, especially if I bought a standard and "complete" edition, I'll likely piratd a PC copy for modding and the like.

    Though sometimes a piece of art is created by a morally bankrupt company and while I typically just ignore the things they produce, sometimes I really want to try it, so I pirate it.

  • So the first point is simply false, the second point is symptomatic of the third point which is simply an example of a poor policy.

    Also the second half of the third point is completely fucked off. If new construction were exempt from rent control then your ROI would be better on building units than buying units.

  • Slavery was abolished, so the rich are now trying to make economic oppression the equivalent of slavery.
  • The way they're viewed really isn't the problem. Someone being imprisoned and forced to work really isn't affected by the man with the whips opinions of them, because of they slave away they don't get whipped. They're existence has been stripped too bare for such distinction to make a difference. Slavery is like war and war never changes.

  • Fuck SUVs in particular.
  • I call them "pavement princesses" since they're driven by office types most often who have no interest in offroading, which is the original intended use for lifted rigs. They're all rich sissies that want a giant truck for taking their fifth wheel to the lake because they're scared of driving a bus

  • can we please keep this community about technology and not Twitter/X and elon news?
  • Your point is absolutely valid, but what's happening at Twitter really is only relevant to social media news. There's no tech changing or advancing, just a really bad marketing decision. I personally do not believe that this is tech news or relevant to it.

  • What's it like working night shift?

    I'm interviewing for a night shift position in a couple days and I've always worked 8-4 or 9-5. I'm a little scared of the idea though! I'm worried about seeing my family less because my sleep schedule will be totally different than theirs.

    So, night shift workers of the world, what has your experience been like and how do you manage being present in your family life?
