If you, the civilian, donates to a legitimate cause, the billion dollar company won't be able to claim that donation on their tax deductions.

If they donate, it's a zero sum game. Maybe 5 mins in the spotlight for alturism.

But if you give them the money to donate on your behalf? They don't spend a cent and are able to get tax deductions for "philanthropy". It's the best possible outcome (for the company).

And "silhouette" is a French word

Coincidence? I think not.

I think there are more Ultras than Trots these days, this is like seeing a unicorn.

I'm Chinese, and I live in a country town in the West.

Trust me, it's not Hexbear keeping racism alive.

I've been called yellow on multiple, multiple occasions. Do you actually think white people have ceased calling us yellow???

50 years ago? Try last month.

Lmao cops will open fire on you and any bystanders for petty theft, there may be due process if you live to see court.

I looked through your post history and this is actually the best thing you've posted. Unironically good post.

Lmao, that's a testament to communist Cuba's success. No other form of government could withstand a US embargo for a year and not collapse. Cuba has withstood for DECADES and has surpassed the US in life expectancy. The buildings are kinda shabby, but homelessness, infant mortality, illiteracy are all LOWER than the US, the richest country in the history of the world.

If you carjack someone else, commit actual grand theft auto, does that mean the workers in the car factory that produced the car get their pay retroactively revoked?

That's actual theft, you stole it from the owner, and even then it doesn't affect the factory workers' salary at all.

If I get a copy of Starfield from a friend after they're done playing it, does that count as stealing the devs' salary?

Redefining theft from "taking a physical object that isn't yours" to "right click copy, right click paste" has got to be one of the best psyops of all time.

I was never going to give Todd Howard the money for this regardless, after FO76. He would have received $0 for this game regardless of if I downloaded it or not.

This is so fucking stupid. If you steal a physical item, say, a block of cheese, it is no longer in the possession of the shop, and can't be sold to someone else. The cheesemonger will have to make another block to sell.

If you copy and paste a bunch of 1's and 0's, the original is still there. How was that theft? Does the original still exist?

Is watching a movie at a drive in from outside the lot with a pair of binoculars theft? If you can hear a copyrighted song from your neighbours yard, is that theft? Taping a movie when it airs on TV with a VHS, is that theft?
