  • Exactly. When I “used to” pirate games (dear me! I would never dare break those little laws now) it was originally because I was way too broke to pay for them. When I had more pay I later bought nearly everything I had pirated and actually played on gog or steam. Since then it’s just easier to use steam or GOG than to pirate and scan and install and mess with my firewall and install the crack and diagnose wtf I messed up. Since then I only ever pirated games I’d never ever buy. If you count every game I pirated (sometimes up to three times based on if there were issues, virus scanner pings, lost the file and reinstalled on another drive, etc…) as a lost sale I’ve potentially caused up to 10k or more in losses over the hundreds of games I’ve illicitly downloaded. Most of which, again, I downloaded with a bank balance that hovered near 0$.








  • Let me clarify. I’m an imbecile who normally comments on porn and trash memes. I didn’t put much thought into it besides “PSA: we’re inclined to believe things that align with us! Make sure to check!” Because I gotta remind myself often because I believe most things I like. and think people also might appreciate being reminded. I just think too often in binary terms because (see above) I’m an idiot and it’s all easier that way. But I’m always trying to grow and do better so I’ll take your critique of my comment to heart.

    I guess I’ll try to phrase things less binarily in the future. Or keep it short. But thanks for keeping me on it.








  • That’s what I came to say. In no case is it the fault of the bench but in some it is the fault of the individual who chose the installation location. At my old apartment there was a fixed display that only slightly jutted into the doorway in the front admin room. People would bump it constantly until it finally fell over. But like the other comment mentioned, this is a little too in the weeds for the point of the meme.
