Good one

Thats great and all but it requires a self-first attitude to feel no remorse over stealing or causing harm to others.

Many addictions start with someone thinking they are smarter than everyone else and have ultimate control over themselves. I wish you the best of luck but your argument in a public space has the potential to inspire someone to harm themselves.

Maybe you should give some thought to why you deserve to make your own rules and yet still participate in society.

Fair point but you seem to be doing the same moral high roading yourself.

Hypocrit.

Noone said you couldn’t comprehend it, but that you chose not to. You haven’t replied to any of the contradictions they pointed out either, which makes it look like you either aren’t reading the replies or you think for some reason they dont require a rebuttal.

I dont think using drugs regularly is comparable to pirating software. Pirating isnt going to affect your ability to reason or think. I also wouldnt use the legality of alcohol as an excuse to do other drugs, especially opioids.

It sounds like you are frustrated that people who also do bad things will judge you for doing other bad things, which makes them hypocrites. But it also means you agree with them to a degree that what you are doing is a bad thing, doesnt it?

I can hate bad corporate practices and also think that piracy is stealing. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Why do people seem like they hate pirates more, to you? Likely a bias because you are a pirate, and not working for a corporation.

In my opinion I hear more critiques of big business than of piracy. I also dont find these threads full of people saying negative things about piracy, but thats a matter of perspective.

I also pirate, but theres a reason I’d rather pay for it if I can afford it.

Yeah I think that can happen at different scales, and of course MMOs didnt just increase the numbers higher and higher, they added more damage sources per second, per target.

It gets to the point you need a meter and graph to really tell much of a difference with anything, but you won’t be able to create enough data points to make a real determinstion.

So the end result I think is the same you are describing. You get a new upgrade and it looks like it will be a substantial difference but you end up not being able to tell.

The game you are talking about, is the exponential increase a feature of the game? It sounds like it goes up very quick from what you described.

So because it makes you feel happy when you think about it?

You did reply with the reason you support these reactors right?

It varies state to state here as well. Someone in Georgia might have way more problems than someone in Minnesota. Its hard to generalize the US in that way. Sort of like the EU being a group but each country separate.

No I mean thats what’s proposed. I’m saying leaving the companies service has nothing to do with a loan they gave you. They are separate things. Its possible they would stop with no interest but I believe they can still make money without interest in some cases.

The part they are saying is different is that the phones are unlocked immediately. They don’t ever lock.

You can continue paying at&t for the phone after moving to a different carrier.

How do you think people will steal phones like this?

I wouldnt recommend an already setup grapheneos device in the first place. How would you trust that?

Its a frequency of use thing, and also some required sites. Examples are sites hosted by schools, government, or workplaces.

Although most people using Firefox aren’t aware of spoofing the client to look like chrome, so that might need to be talked about more.

That all said, I don’t have problems with any required usage, the only ones I have an issue with are on my phone, using mull, some sites payment forms won’t load or work correctly. Taco bell is pretty bad for that and then the app wouldnt work either for a while. I also run grapheneos though so its hard to say what’s the cause there.

Happens in MMOs too, world of Warcraft was bad with it over the years on and off.

They’ve reduced the numbers down multiple times so that people start to feel progression again.

Maybe posting a picture where you write it out? I think I understand though.

I think I read it like you did first, that fining him billions would be more than half of his net worth, which is wrong.

But I think they mean that if you have billions, taking away half wouldnt change your life. I’d also say thats wrong for musk though because his money is tied up in companies. If he had to pay a cash fine of a huge amount, that likely would cause discomfort.

Why would they think that?

He’s free to leave the EU at anytime. They are allowed to create appropriate punishments to deter further misuse. They are saying here that they need to be able to punish more to deter him, as he’s an asshole who says fuck you to everyone.
