Probably a lot less safe (and harder to aim) if you don’t use the truck. Also unlikely they get all the way down unless you mine it in wheel shapes (increasing labor and also, luckily, danger).

No, I was not addressing the person as “rainbow hair”. I don’t know anything about her.

Because I don’t like the way it looks? I’m sure she’s a happy and fun person, but I don’t like the particular hairstyle.

It sounds like you don’t have to make ANY choices which must be pretty nice: it certainly makes it easy for you to judge other people!

I will absolutely take the easy road on getting non-food items we need twice a month to spend time with my kids and my wife. I would rather amazon than Alibaba, and I would rather do either than give up an hour of my time to shop something dumb like super glue with two kids under four.

I am also doing the best I can, and I’m sure you mean well, but you sure sound like an officious dickbag.

The more I see this picture the more I dislike rainbow hair.

It’s not fun and it’s not surprising. Billionaires are generally cancerous and they own a lot of shit. If you can avoid them all, more power to you. I guess it’ll be my fault if trump gets elected.

I’m not flexing. It’s a fact. Everybody makes choices and I am making mine. Do you own a car? And if you do, do you put gas in it, earth-raping heathen? Do you water your lawn? Have a gas lawnmower? How about solar panels? You ever take a bath instead of a gallon shower? Buy electronics sourced from countries with weak labor laws? How about sleeping with a fan on at night or participate in wish recycling without consulting your local center?

I’m sure if we dig enough you’re shitty in some way too, yo. Maybe don’t be a supercilious dirt hat.

Counter argument: no.

For sure Amazon is predatory. For sure the services are overpriced. For sure they are killing Mom and Pop stores.

But you know what? I shop there for the same reason I shop at a Meijer or a Target or a Payless. Everything I want, one place, unified customer service, and it just shows up at my door. Probably 80% of my purchases are grocery delivery from Meijer and Amazon for basically everything else. Returns are no questions asked, service is fast, and selection is great, I just try not to buy amazon basics if I can help it.

Shipt, Uber whatever, GrubHub, etc etc delivery services that are supposed to solve the same problem are all fucking garbage. For sure I’m a corporate sellout, but I have a shitload of time to spend with my kids and my wife instead of fucking around with other services or driving around town and I’m not sorry about it 🤷

Edit: and with prime I got ad free movies, in home delivery, faster shipping, audible, and who knows what else besides. I won’t shop at Walmart so I’m probably a hypocrite, but I’m a hypocrite who is happy with the service for the money.

My kobo Libra 2 is way, way, WAY better than any of the Kindles or nooks I’ve owned. So good.

Edit: idk who Amy is but she doesn’t belong here.

No I’d be the guy with patents and licensed software who has observed you are full of shit.

If they make a shitty title, the company is forced to eat it. After multiples of those, they go out of business because they can’t pay devs.

The counter argument is what? That game sucks so I deserve a copy? There is no reason to freeload off of either one. Sure sail the seas if you have to, but claiming you’re in the right to do so no matter what is pants on head stupid.

Jesus Christ you are insufferable. And you don’t know anything about money or the exchange of goods or services for other goods or services.

You’re the fucker standing in the back of the theatre having not bought a ticket saying “the cast would have the show anyway! So no problem!”.

Are you a moron?

Nobody can ever make anything digital because you can just get a free copy and you’re entitled to it?

I can design and sell shoes but I can’t write a book after the creation of the Internet bc Merc is entitled to a copy because he wants one and you can download it?

Hire your own people and make your own shit. You are now an indie game dev.

If everybody is pirating your shit, it’s not making any value and nobody who worked on it gets anything at all. And anyone who IS paying I guess is just a sucker? Not the real heroes carrying your mooching ass to every game you want to play?

Now wait a damn minute.

So what? A company pays devs, story writers, testers, etc etc to build a game over the course of months or years, and then they release copy 1 which pirate cracker 1 promptly buys.

You, every nitwit in this thread, and everyone else then take a “ToTalLy FreE” copy (“it’s not stealing” so who cares?!) because obv developer is not out anything. And then? What?

Who recoops the game cost? How is it determined whether or not to make a sequel if some angel donor covers total cost? It makes no fucking sense.

Sure, Ubisoft sucks, no complaint. But just because it’s digital doesn’t mean this brain rot is universally true. It’s like some perverse form of libertarianism: I don’t want to pay any taxes or tolls or whatever, but I wanna use all your shit. Every pirate here laughs and says “I got mine” but you’re a bunch of moochers who try to convince yourselves you’re in the right instead of thanking those of us actually buying the content.

I’ve sailed the seas in my day, but I never got it in my head it was a totally cool and reasonable victimless action. You can say “I couldn’t have afforded it anyway”, but that argument isnt universal and it doesn’t make everyone entitled to a free lunch.

Now now.

You can’t believe anything else he says either.
