I think that’s how sports should be digested. It’s impossible to keep track of every single game, much less, even attend those games. I think that’s a luxury for those who obviously can afford to do so.

The only time I’m involved with sports is when the playoffs happen, so I’m there for the World Series. But I’m not there for the full 162-game season. I’ll root for my team when they’re doing good in the standings, whether they’ve done some right moves and criticize them when they do something stupid or fail the season.

It’s more likely that before humanity got enough of its brain together to make it outlawed in majority of countries, we as a species, have probably fucked eachother in a family for years.

But just because that is plausible, doesn’t make it any more right to do.

Not too far off from what actually happened to some people. Christ. The levels the authorities went to protect the pockets of all of those rich executives.

It has had its memories. But, whenever I’m asked if I had any fond memories from my childhood, I leap to teenager years and high school. Because they were infinitely better.

My middle school years was filled with tons of humiliation, tons of setbacks, tons of embarrassing moments and nothing about it I’ve ever looked back on and was proud about. I was so hateful of my middle school years, I shredded all of my report cards. Not that they’d mean anything, but they reflected upon things about myself then and where everything was at the time. Sure I was a kid who did kid things, but I wasn’t considered a normal kid and I didn’t get to live a normal kid life.

Fucking lightbulbs have wi-fi in them. Lightbulbs.

Light. Bulbs. What could one fucking need wi-fi for, in lightbulbs? I know because I stock this shit.

“If you put money in a vending machine and got two items instead of one, would you put additional money in for the second item?”

I’ve done this twice in a row. First off, it is not my problem how the person stocking the vending machine puts two pieces of product together to make it happen. I’m not in their shoes, it’s not my job, therefore not my problem. Anybody who pays twice is a fool in that situation.

We’re not in the 2000s where the RIAA/MPAA spent hour after hour, individually going after individuals whom they suspect is pirating.

They’ve changed up tactics all throughout the 2010s and into today. Where, they’re holding ISPs accountable and are targeting owners of services and pirating sites instead. They’ve actually got some victories under their belt through this, which is a damn shame, so it’s telling them that it is working. Not to mention we’ve had the misfortune of dealing with ACE, their little treehouse club and lots of copyright trolls that act as copycats who take it upon themselves to operate similarly as to how they did in the 2000s.

You have far greater risk being an owner, being the uploader and being the source of pirating than you are these days, just downloading it. Your ISP decides when they want to take action against whatever files you’ve downloaded.

As people have said, your best tools are with VPNs and figuring out which VPN has your back, most importantly. That’s what pirating has come down to and that is trust.

But blah blah, we get it, the feds will say copyright is a crime and blah blah. We got that decades ago, we just don’t care because consumer rights have been thoroughly fucked over which in turn, causes us to pirate. A lesson these idiots refuse to learn.

If anyone ever tried doing that to me, I would just ruin their video. I would be like “hey yeah, this guy is actually a pedophile” or something then just ruin it. I will not be someone’s object to make money from in that sense. Not unless I’m getting paid.

I would rather be doing a job I don’t like because I know I’m not going to fall in love with it enough to make it my life, than to turn something I’ve fallen in love in doing and making it a job I’ll eventually grow to hate because it is seen as a job.

I do shit on people who continue to buy this because it’s telling the companies that it is an acceptable practice for them to do.

…That you can do through emulation also.

What I’m not understanding, are the boot-lickers who’re praising the publishers for making these ROMs available on the market. Like, pirates are the ones who have been doing the archiving and preserving while video game companies kicked the can down the street for the longest time. And only recently are these compilations released, are some people going like “WOW! THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PRESERVING! IT MAKES MY DICK HARD NOW!”

Like dude? These ROMs have been available for a long ass time and they weren’t because of these video game companies you’re happily throwing money down to.

I want you to try and create something. Just something. Be an artist.

The moment you try selling your work and that’s all that you’re trying to sell on the side to make money and make ends meet.

Then you’ll understand.

There had been a couple times where I’d be shopping and Wal-Mart’s alert system at the door couldn’t catch the smaller items. Like, they’re honest mistakes too, not intentional. I would make it out to my vehicle, getting the bags in, until I find one object that went by undetected. Thought about just playing it as a mistake and not paying for it.

Problem was, even if I did that, eventually I’d be confronted about it. I work for the company, they know me, they sure as hell probably seen me on camera throwing in that small object at somepoint and will use that. Just because the guy at the booth by the doors isn’t saying or doing anything or the store isn’t getting a hunch, doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking it.

Anytime this has happened though, I have walked back in and paid for that thing. But sometimes even when I know I scanned everything and paid for them, faulty alarms go off anyways so it’s like they’re bipolar.

Okay, thanks for an unneeded warning because nothing wrong has happened to me all this time. You keep sitting in that corner and being afraid with your little tinfoil hat on.

People are already manipulating historical figures in what they say, to make them aligned with whatever ideals and beliefs one has politically in modern times.

Once AI generation is advanced enough to actually manipulate video from historical periods, people are going to do that too. They’ll probably try making Hitler seem friendlier.

Whatever baffling bullshit scheme people have.

I have yet to ever have this happen to me. I’ve been pirating Windows OSes since Win2000 days.

This is only a risk if you don’t know what you’re getting into and do not take precautions. The best security for your PC and OS is common sense. Anti-virus and that junk just want your money to make you feel secure.
