More mental gymnastics

We pirate because we're selfish but use every excuse in the book to convince ourselves otherwise...

It's always projection.

Is your argument that liberals support Israel in this conflict?

Sometimes I just like to have a leg up. I got Starfield a week or so after it was officially released and before I got it I watched a couple "10 things I wish I knew before I started playing" type videos. Made the game more enjoyable for me instead of learning it the hard way.

I have about 70 hours in the game and haven't touched the main quest besides the first few. There's so many quest lines and side content that if I never did the main quest I'd be satisfied with my purchase.

It's because people desperately want this game to be good and the initial release was a train wreck.

Thanks, I didn't understand this at all either.

Good luck getting him to show up to work. He's the laziest person in the US.

How did I say that like it's a bad thing?

Then you'd need to include a headphone jack since the headphones acted as the antenna.

They guy thinks he's much smarter than he actually is. He's good at complaining about things but then it comes to actual leadership he falls flat on his face simply because he's not smart enough to do the job effectively. People here hate Nancy Pelosi but she was unbelievably effective at keeping the party together when it came to important legislation that they wanted passed.

Fuck I loved the Sims 2

From what I know he only needs 20 or 30 dems to vote "present" which will lower the bar enough to the point where he will get to keep his job. My guess is that this is the best option for Democrats since they've proven that he's an incredibly ineffective Majority leader.

Is hating transgender people and drag queens a policy position?

First he wanted them to rake the leaves now he wants them to dampen the forests...

I bet McCarthy is sure glad that he sold his soul for the Speaker position...

I'm a stickler for a headphone jack so I just replaced the battery in my 4a instead of buying a new one. Not sure how to proceed with the EOL security updates but Lineage is always an option. If they would just release a phone with a headphone jack I'd have a new phone next week.

It's odd because I always considered them right up there with Toyota and Honda but between their transmission and engine issues over the past decade they're clearly not in the same league.

Off topic here but from the looks of it Lemmy requires a serious amount of time and work. Is the development team working on this full time in lieu of a full time programming job? Or is a passion project in addition to your real live duties?

Sad for her family but it was in the best interest of the Country.

Does Lemmy (this community specifically) circlejerk as hard as reddit does when it comes to Epic bad?

What is Godot?

I'll stick with Capitalism, then...

Great idea, what are we replacing it with?

Yea I guess there's someone who read this thread and thought "people wipe sitting down?"

People wipe standing up?

I saw that story from a distance but didn't really follow it. How did Biden negatively impact the workers striking against the railroads?

Just want to say that as a VR enthusiast, the Index is nowhere near the top of the list of VR headsets.

I didn't call anyone out, you responded to my original comment trying to explain your reasoning for pirating which is fine. I am pointing out that your reasoning is flawed and your desire to play games without paying is out of selfishness.

I'm not superior to anyone here. I pirate music, movies and games just like you do and it's as selfish as anyone else here who does it.

Except you can't portray breathing as selfish in any manner since it's a necessary bodily function unlike your desire to pirate which is completely optional. You feel entitled to play something you don't want to or can't pay for. It's selfish behavior.

Yea, pirating something just because you don't have the money for it is still selfish behavior. Comparing necessary bodily functions to pirating someone else's IP is a real leap in logic but if that's what helps you justify your selfish behavior then that's cool.

You pirating something because you don't want to miss out on it is inherently selfish. Just because you're not making as much money as you'd like doesn't change anything. And no, you can't frame breathing as selfish since it's a necessary function for living which can't be said about your desire to pirate video games.

Pointing out that your excuse of not being able to afford something as a reason to pirate is still selfish behavior.

Any day now. The bombshell is right around the corner...

I'm sure you have but that doesn't mean that your piracy isn't rooted in selfishness.

It's a free market. If you don't like what someone is charging for something then don't buy it. If you pirate as a result then that's fine but it's selfish behavior.

It's still selfish behavior. Pirating something because you don't have the patience to save for it doesn't change anything.

I pirate because I'm selfish, just like most other people in this thread.
