We need to signal boost this, if true, because that is an egregious waste of someone’s time and a theft of their due compensation.

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

That is not always the case, from my experience

Fuck, I’m ready to try anything at this point.

…the rest of that resume must be absolutely insane. Or he’s applying to be a businessman.

I’m out here with a Master’s degree and 3 years of work experience and I’m not even getting a first call. Shit’s tough out here.

Could be a subclass. However, it should just be an ‘is’ method which is passed the array of [young, pretty] as input

I’ve watched some of the Orville season 1 and I can’t believe that claim. What season does it get good?

Yeah, how did they commit this to anywhere that would hurt?

Pay me enough, and I’ll waste everyone’s time. Wait…

Did I just reinvent lobbying?

Shudda been liftin with yer legs there, buddy

Thanks for the rec

Nah, I honestly couldn’t remember. I’ve seen like random episodes from Picard and Kirk-era Trek and recently The Lower Decks. I’m an affliate because even though I don’t consume most Star Trek media, I enjoy what it brings to the culture and community of sci-fi.

It’s absolute jokes when people pave over existing examples, so they can be close to the center of the class photo for the new “thing”.

“We’ve devised this new way of consuming bread: by cutting it into thinner layers!”

That bit about Burnham had me double-checking myself because I’m an affliate Trekkie at best but I remember a character named Sisko who was black and some kind of commanding officer. And I haven’t even watched 20% of available Star Trek content.
