do you want a gold star for your obsevation

you retards

you are in this comic

Haha yeah, only 75% of your comment was attempting to be insulting in some way! How could anybody think you're being an ass? Poe's law sure is crazy.

I said nobody here. I.e. these comments, the people you said think that. Would you like a participation trophy for your reading comprehension?

That's a neat story you got there, but literally nobody here is saying they do own someone else.

Cocksucker I'd imagine

Yes, of course.

Prboably got me, didn't notice at all until re-reading. The rest I read just fine but easily noticed.

Fair, but these are all perfectly valid reasons to do so on Lemmy as well, so I still think it makes more sense to do so here than on Reddit.

Why? I feel like that would be more common on Lemmy than anything. There is an actual point in using different instances here, I don't see any point whatsoever on Reddit.

“renting” it is still taking money from the author even if the damage is physically limited to one item.

I do see where you're coming from, but not necessarily. If my friend has zero interest in ever buying said book (or can't afford to) and would never become a paying customer, there is no downside to sharing a copy. In fact, if they like the book enough, they may even become incentivized to buy themselves a copy or look into the author's other work legitimately when they otherwise wouldn't have.

This is how/why I pirate most games. I don't have the type of pocket money to spend on games I don't know I'll love, so I pirate them first. If they're good enough, I'll buy the actual game on steam later. Spider-Man, Baldur's Gate 3, Cassette Beasts, etc. are all games I plan to buy when I can afford to. And I can promise I never would have bought Slime Rancher 2 if I hadn't pirated the first one at some point and enjoyed it.

Tbh, I don't blame him. She looks like she's going to eat him.

Piped is just too inconsistent for me. I gave it a solid month or two, but half the time I open it up none of the instances are loading any videos. Eventually I gave up and looked into other options, ended up using FreeTube.
