You have got to be the dumbest motherfucker I have ever encountered.

Yes I agree with the point I have been trying to make TO YOU for what, like a year now because you take several months to respond to something? Yes, when people are invited it’s totally separate from when they rent the facilities, as was the case…

Right, you got the notification after months. It just sat in internet limbo. What a joke.

And YOU are the one who keeps bringing up invites! Are you seriously this stupid?

A big part of the problem is that most of the time, you don’t know it’s rigged because they don’t have to tell you that. In most places, they put these machines out and it looks like a skill game, but the claws are programmed to fail most of the time and only allow so many wins. It’s a gambling machine that is…

Holy shit, you dig this up after six months and STILL don’t know what’s going on.

This STILL isn’t about invites. This is about the fact that they rent their facilities. They have to do that equally. They do get to pick and choose who they invite to speak at school events. They DO NOT get to pick and choose who to…

I’ve never purchased a car newer than 10 years old. Cost of car and maintenance over the time I’ve driven them has NEVER been as much as car payments. Example: I bought a ‘92 Jetta in ‘03, for $3000, drove it for 12 years putting about $4000 in repairs into it over that time.

Chuck was fucking jealous. And a selfish prick. 

In 2018 America, it’s totally OK for one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the country to publicly say “we only give money to candidates who do what we tell them to do.”

for instance, people have been asking for Vanilla WoW servers for ages, but vanilla WoW was, from a design perspective, objectively bad compared to every single expansion since.

The reason I’ve given more than once for why consumers would have greater power is that it would be nessasary to capture more funds. The competion with free would drive that.

It’s also important to pack the food in first and then cover with ice.

In my personal experience, ziplocs are fine for anything in the cooler as long as you always double bag anything in the cooler.

- if the cost of games gets too high, and everyone pirates them, then what you called an “unreasonable assumption,” that is, that everyone would pirate games, becomes inevitable.

or the cost of games will rise, as the people who do pay will be charged more to make up for those who don’t.

So what if everyone pirated all gaming software?

So, I was done here when you admitted you thought it wasn’t immoral to steal cable. That pretty much solidified my argument that any one person’s moralityis an unacceptable barometer of when the law should be broken.

Oops, accidentaly posted it to myself the first time.

Tragedy of the commons applies to finite resources that are depleted with use. That’s not how piracy works.

I get the basic idea that “the actions of individuals have few consequences, but that if you scale it up from there it can be problematic” I just don’t agree with you that it would have significantly negative…

Lost sales don’t matter unless the law says? Depriving people of profit they deserve stops being a thing unless the law agrees? It’s perfectly fine to take someone else’s hard work, that they should be compensated for, for free without permission, as long as enough people agree with you? It’s incredibly fucked up that…

and if we allowed for people to steal things that carried little to no direct harm, the wider complications of that stand would be significantly negative).

Lol you won’t agree with me because you are delusional and can’t think for yourself. The fact remains that you started out with yet another convoluted explanation for your exception. And then you switched gears and it’s all ok because it’s not against the law. So if computer piracy was legal you would have no problem…
