For the rest of us with brains, piracy is a tool for the working class to take power away from the ruling class.

And they only do it to maximize profit off of people's low standards.

It has never been about putting food on the table or keeping the lights on. It's always been about fleecing idiots with more money than sense.

I absolutely love rubbing it in the face of people subscribing to streaming services that I get more content without even having to enter in my credit card info.

Brains > wallets, every time.

Why the time limit?

Definitely going to avoid it, tired of platforms thinking they deserve exclusivity.

I'm mostly referring to liquor because it's the most economical way to get drunk.

My local Walmart has a decent selection of beers, but I've been to HEBs that have entire sections devoted to craft beers. It may depend on the grocery store in question.

You can still get a better selection at a cheaper price at liquor stores than bars.

Yep.

I wonder if this will result in countries like North Korea having a competitive workforce because they're at least able to focus on what they're doing.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.

To be fair, a lot of the people who believe that have no concept of "shame" in the first place.

More like "both sides don't care about the working class."

The lesser evil is still evil.

I've thought about this at length, and the conclusion I came to is that violence about self-sufficiency, while sex is about cooperation. With violence, you take matters into your own hands and you're in control regardless of what others feel. With sex, it's the exact opposite. You're at their mercy and they have power over you.

It makes sense in our hostile culture to teach kids about self-sufficiency and taking power for themselves. If they give that power up to others, then it opens them up to manipulation and exploitation.

I'm not making a judgement call on what's right or wrong, only what is.

Yeah, never forget how the people in power routinely gave Epstein a pass because they were participating in raping kids.

All this "for the children" is performative bullshit to take more power away from the average person.
