Poor behavior can be corrected. Ignoring bigotry and letting it slide hurts others. That’s not acceptable

I don’t need to accept bigotry. I can just use a different browser.

I don’t like bigotry

Thanks for clarifying

Celebrating a king,, they are the red coats

I can’t help but notice you got quite serious in last few days

Or, just hear me out, maybe they’re just not assholes like Adobe.

That’s good of them. A lot of companies would just say, “fuck it”

denying it doesn't change the fact :(

Good

This describes very specifically how water makes other things wet. Nowhere, does it describe water making itself wet, because it can’t. Wetness is a property that water can only give to other things, not to itself.

Wetness it as a property liquid can only give to another thing, not to itself. When water touches water, you simply have more water.

i was listening to a podcast a month or two ago that brought light to this problem - soldiers, who may never have seen combat but were within range of powerful blasts, can suffer enormous amounts of brain damage from it.

The episode was discussing the case of one particular soldier who worked in a support role and later went to teach a course that bombarded cadets and trainees with all sorts of simulated blasts. Just because he was there, it caused him huge amounts of brain damage only discovered after he'd killed himself.

CTE can't be reliably diagnosed right now as the only definitive test for it is to cut your brain into millimeter-thick slices and analyzing them. obviously, they can only perform this test upon the deceased.

Where do you think the people who pay the creators get the money to pay them?

ads, mostly.

From sales from the results of the last creators who worked for them.

so? they already got paid. i feel no remorse for pirating from a global megacorp.

And neither should you

edit: and - once again - if i couldn't pirate it, i wasn't going to buy it anyway. You can't even argue lost sales (which the creators never see).

That all sounds like it’s still terrible idea to use optical media for backups

The creators get paid when they do the work, not from sales.

Also, a much more important note: if I couldn’t pirate it, I wasn’t going to pay for it anyway.

And why on earth would I pay for media when I can get it for free?

My Plex server is packed with downloads and rips.

I also don’t care to look

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I quit optical media around 03. Haven’t even owned anything with an optical drive for nearly a decade.

We talked to each other, read books, went on walks…

Also, tv. Lots of tv.

I don’t want physical media because it’s a liability. It can get lost or destroyed very very easily, especially optical media.

Digital copies are portable, I can data hoard them, and, worst case, I can just re-download it.
