Ok. I understand a little better now. You may have skimmed what I wrote quickly, and made a bunch of assumptions and guesses about what I meant.

“Don’t set my bones, Dr. Steve donated to X” ... claimed in a life threatening situation

I'm an Xray tech, not a doctor.
Never mentioned setting bones just taking xray images.
I also didn't mention or imply any life threatening situations. That's purely your imagination.

The roofers don’t matter in the OP’s decision regarding donations to the tankie.

My roofer example didn't mention tankies at all.
I implied I would pay the roofer (singular) even though they were a (t)Rump supporter, and I don't support their politics.

You said you wouldn’t engage positively with someone you disagree with like the OP

Never said anything of the sort. That's your imagination again.

I'm sorry I genuinely don't understand.
First you tear down my bad analogies. Ignores the point, but fine.
Then you go and make the same, or similar point I was making? I'm not sure. And think by some twist of logic maybe, think I wouldn't engage positively with someone I have disagreements with?

I read your comment three times and I still don't understand what you're trying to get across.

That's not surprising.
I understand.

Using free software isn't piracy to begin with. This post is actually in the wrong community.

You see how I didn't even address your point, and instead brought up a different and only tangentially related argument? Makes me seem like a dick doesn't it.

Would I not pay my roofer if they were a Rump supporter?
They did a good job on my roof. What do their political opinions matter?

If I was XRaying your broken arm, would you refuse, because I support a tankie for writing apolitical software I like to use?

It's often a sound strategy.
Quit while you're behind, and refocus onto something you can do profitably. "Stop throwing good money after bad", and all that.

Surprised he'd be her favorite ex-borg. She adopted and was more or less mother to one.

I miss EverCrack.
Not the actual mechanics, things have come a long way since then. But the concepts. No end game. Mobs that take 100+ people all day to take down. And that last piece of armor you want, has a 2% drop rate off them. And even when it does drop, there are 10 of your class who wants it, and you have to work out who gets it. Levels took so long nobody worried about getting to cap, and just hung out. The grind and the community were the point. Not the next piece of gear.

Sorry! Was I in the shot?

Don't care. A movie should be as long as it needs to be. That said, I'd rather err on the side of longer. Give scenes room to breath. Don't try to rush things.

An example is the new How to Train a Dragon. It's a scene for scene remake, that's nearly 30 min longer. And I found it surprisingly more effecting. I actually cried, which never happened with the original.

When I got my license I thought it was stupid that we didn't have to retake the road test ever again.
At least every 10 years, 5 sounds reasonable to me.

That assumes you were entitled to something that nobody owed you.

If the money was never yours, can you say it was stolen from you?
