Alabama? 🤨

Well, to be honest, especially for warez, yes, it involves A LOT of knowledge. And that's not easy to gain, there are no books on the subject and you can't study RCE (I haven't seen any courses that dive into the subject), so yeah, it's pretty hard to actually gain some knowledge, and even harder since most of the tricks of the trade are shared between warez groups, and it's hard to get into one.

So, yeah, I would throw money at that one or two people that actually did manage to crack a particular piece of software. Teams of engineers and programmers working on the software and a team of one or two guys managed to beat your copy protection... bravo 👏.

Agreed... here, it's about family, being together, chatting, laughing, just having a good time in general. Sure, there are discounts, but most people use those to just buy some new appliances (in most cases, replace broken ones).

Finally, there's water in the cloud 😂.

Respect, doesn't take bullshit 👍.

It's a necessity for me, not a choice 🤷. I don't drive unless I need to, I walk or use the bike.

Yep, have done the same. Latest was the covid shot cert 😁. Couldn't pass borders, but will get you into malls and shops 😁.

I don't purchase anything in advertisements. Well, I might look into deals, if it's anything I need or might need.

Yeah, I don't count forums as social media as well.

lol 😂, i can relate 😂.

Americans spend way too much on christmas presents.

Influencers/charmers were always a thing, was it not?

Maybe, but not to the extent they are today.
