yes, thank you for explaining it calmly

well, maybe i’m just over thinking it then

i’m not blaming other pirates for anything. What i’m saying is there are consequences for some things. For example, many things are not acted upon because corporations and governments arent aware of them. Or some things are just ignored because its cheaper for them to do nothing about it than act. If anything I’m putting my trust on other pirates for hoping they might consider how their actions could affect others instead of thinking only themselves or their immediate community.

Don’t you see the necessity of trying to manage how corporations might respond? And i’m not saying people shouldnt be doing things out of fear but everyone should try to act smartly so we can preserve what we have. This goes beyond what i said earlier so dont hang on only to what I said. i just cant untangle some thoughts from eachother and still be able to write text that doesnt meander too much.

i just dont have any faith that things can get better so i dont want them to get even worse. its better than nothing.

yeah, i just wish people thought more about these things. There are consequences not just to yourself but possibly towards fellow pirates and bystanders. Personally I have benefitted from family sharing greatly, much more than from piracy as with piracy you have to accept the possibility of malware which I cant afford at the moment. I really dont want to see valve rescind it.

far be it from me to defend any corporation, but doesnt this send wrong kind of a message to them? They didnt need to make family sharing, let alone remind you if you can already play a game through it when purchasing one. This isnt typical behaviour and should be allowed a little slack for it, to show other corporations that not being asshole is more profitable.

If valve goes bad then nothing is too horrible, but until that, its kind of bad form to stab a hand that offers a little kindness, even if their ultimate goal is to just make money by staying on top by having good will. I dont think we can expect to get anything better.

other corps dont seem to be getting the message that not being asshole is more profitable, but I think valve can very easily start thinking that being nice is weakness if that is exploited.

if they were to use those for any reason, it would be horrible suicide for them. They could destroy the society as we know it with them but they couldnt stop the retaliation which would be so vengeance fueled I dont want to even think about it.

All the power russia has is the one given to it.

either europe gets its shit together or gets divided by russia and usa. If we lose, europe will be colonized and/or enslaved by republicans and russians alike though ultimate winner will be the billionaires. It wont look like colonization of old most likely but we wont be the masters in our own house anymore, so to speak.

exposing the location of those bunkers would do wonders to world peace

since russia has claimed there are nato troops in ukraine, what is actually preventing nato from sending the troops? Russia is going to invade eu anyway after awhile when kremlin feels more secure about it. By lying, didnt they blow their ultimatum regarding nato intervention too?

shouldnt eu then be called atlantic union or something

current usa leadership are as much americans as nazis were german. They are, but in such rotten way its like saying cancer is part of you.

people who use teslas definitely deserve some vandalism, but i dont think that would tell them it makes them shitty people. It would more likely just push them even more towards some hateful ideology. They should be made look like rejects they are, not victims. Though maybe if someone was to flip the tesla logo, it looks just like someone on kkk hood, just upside down.

Because it would be in russias interests? And russia is big enough threat that some military people in europe have started to worry too. They are rearming fast and will likely want to attack more than ukraine. Usa is ruled by traitor and a madman who immidiately started threatening allies, i wouldnt put past them to start dividing western the world amongst themselves like hitler and stalin did. But i hope news like this arent just some ruse by russia, facing them alone will be bad enough. I just hope the threat will be taken seriously by those who make decisions, maybe it wont come to war then.

russia should be liberated into smaller independent regions. they will always be threat otherwise. Russian people would be better off too without their opressive government.

i was kind of expecting russia to team up with usa against europe

This asshole is ruining a good chance to cut down on emissions by being the face of EVs

maybe that was the plan

when i see someone drive tesla, i feel like i should show my disapproval somehow. But i dont know how to do that in such way the message is understood without making the other one defensive since that would just make the problem worse.

propably just doing things by the book without thinking or their legal system doesnt have a way to fine billionaires so they just let the bastard go without punishment.
