It’s “illusory” because they assume that every pirated game would have automatically been converted to a sale if the pirated version was unavailable. The way I see it, pirates are more likely to find another source for the pirated game or just wouldn’t play it at all.

LOL, my vax records are digital, no card to steal. The hospital just needs to look it up

Hey now, didn’t you hear, “negotiations broke down”. Because apparently the cops ARE in some circumstances willing to at least try and de-escalate in very specific situations (that don’t exist for brown people).

I’m waiting for a group of Black parents to sue some Florida school district for how they teach the Civil War/Reconstruction/Civil Rights Era

The Canadian Army has heavy duty wreckers. They also have vehicles that can move main battle tanks, so this is a problem that DOES have a solution.

Seems like it would have been more logical to tow the boat out before they added the parts that caused it to be too tall.

LOL, you expect someone to read 5 paragraphs before their need to spew their hot take overcomes them?

Nothing wrong with nuclear power

If judges got bribed as much as people BELIEVE they get bribed, there wouldn’t be enough room for all their yachts. Judge didn’t need any money, he’s just a shitty person.

I’m interested in seeing if this judge is as lenient with young black men 2 weeks past their 18th birthday.

“And Mom’s yelling n***er, n***er.”

Note, the kid was describing what mom said BEFORE she took a sedative. Not that taking a sedative matters at all.

OK cracker.

The vocabulary used isn’t (always) determined by where it is published. When people are having a discussion about a given topic, and they are using the vocabulary common to the field of said topic, it doesn’t help your case to say “well ackchyually, the dictionary sez...”

I see now that you aren’t really interested in…

Nah, this is more like the difference between how a scientist uses the word “theory” as compared to how the word is used in the common vernacular. One usage is much more precise.

If you want to enter a discussion about sociological topics, you should be prepared to use the jargon common to that field. It makes sense to…

My answer was an appropriate response to the question you asked:

“So if a Puerto Rican person says he doesn’t want his kids marrying Cubans, because none of them can be trusted, is that racist? What if a Cuban says he doesn’t want his kids marrying Puerto Ricans, because none of them can be trusted?”

You asked “is that…

I mean sure, I wouldn’t argue against that point. However white people can very much be prejudiced against “white” Hispanics. White people can very much be bigoted against “white” Hispanics.

How well white bigots treat white Hispanics often depends on how “Americanized” the Hispanics in question are. Do they “act”…

“Cuban” isn’t a race. So no, it wouldn’t be racist, it would be prejudiced, maybe even bigoted. But not racist.

especially relevant when they have the technology to regrow lost limbs.

Nah, I’ll still blame the districts. It’s not like they haven’t seen the privatized bussing scam happen over and over again in other districts. So the school boards are either incompetent, or corrupt when they choose to privatize bus services based on some pie in the sky financial projections that have never panned…

Reigns can also be really long due to the riders preference of having extra length to use a weapon against humans. But ALSO to tie up the horse.
