I personally don't get expecting someone to put his livelihood on the line to say out loud what people want to hear. If Markiplier's lack of endorsement of piracy is what was going to stop you from pirating, I don't know what to say. If it's what it takes to make you stop supporting him, that's your choice.

For me, it sounds like he is saying, "My corporate overlords want me to say that piracy isn't the option. Heck, I don't know how it works, but it isn't too hard...uh...but I know only a little about it. They're standing behind me, aren't they?" I like him well enough, but have only watched his channel on other people's devices. If he was more senior, he might say different things, not unlike some developer studio leaders. He might not, hard to say. It won't have any bearing one way or another on my actions.

I will never stop calling any scene where an object is moving towards people and they run directly away from it while it's gaining on them as "the Prometheus school of running away." This was only slightly less stupid than trying to outrun a train...on the tracks.

Imagine a world where the government valued its citizens. Look back at history to see what happens when governments value their citizens too little. It's never good, and sometimes it's even bad for the government.

Don't know why my folks didn't order one like that for me.

Ah, that woowoo bs health science of germ theory. Using UV light as a disinfectant is such a ridiculous idea that you would never find it being used in hospitals.

Lol look who forgot about Win 98, the version so bad they made an SE version with a free upgrade.

MS has been alternating good releases and bad releases for most of my life.

Breezy on F-Droid, maybe Google Play, is pretty nice.

Why do you keep posting the same question in different communities?

How useful! I can't count the number of quarter-pennies I've lost...

I'm not sure what your point is. It is completely orthogonal to mine. In the same vein, no, you aren't responsible for other people's choices, and yes, rabid dogs (or people who act like them) are unlikely to listen to reason. Neither of those are good reasons to start fights, and that statement neither says that all fights are avoidable or that one mustn't defend oneself.

Yes, and the vast majority of scenarios where that is the case is where one party made completely unreasonable demands or turned to violence as the first option.
