  • Not refusing, but lately I basically don’t pirate games anymore. Steam made it so easy to buy games… + pirating games is always a pita with the required hacks etc. (or at least it was way back when I did it).

    Software I don’t pirate, I just use foss stuff wherever I can.

    I also don’t pirate books in general. Just get them on Kindle and support the author (and unfortunately also Jeff bezos)

    I pay for Netflix (mainly for kids) and go to the theater for big movies, but aside from that I pirate all screen content.

    I also pirate comics, but that’s 90% because it’s almost impossible to get them legally where I live. I would pay for DC unlimited if it was available in my neck of the woods.



  • Man, this should also be a thing for humans. Seeing my grandmother deteriote very slowly is just painful. She wants it to end, we want it to end seeing her deaf, borderline blind and slowly turning incontinent, but her very old body just keeps going on and on without needing long term medical care. Should be part of human rights, dying on your own terms (without having to resort to violence, eg suicide)









  • Yeah, once you have kids, you realize the magic of Xmas trumps any other potential issues one might have with it.

    Kids don’t think about all the issues of “free toys, stranger danger, weirdo in my house, lapsitting on an older dude”.

    For them Christmas is pure magic. I would never take this away from my Kids. My eldest knows the truth, he still loves pretending and making my youngest kids believe.

    Sometimes the magic of a situation is much more important than the “educational value”. You won’t traumatize your kids by having santa come and have the best morning of their entire year…
