Something that's not super controversial, but you still really stand by it.
Any home that doesn’t have central air conditioning should at least have a dedicated circuit outlet by each window. It’s like home designers are trying to make people sweat.

Except for Nazis

Edit: So no, people convicted of heinous things aren't always made an exception. And, yes, that's cause.
Back in the day, anyone could become a slave, and depending on setting anything could be done to a slave. That's because human rights weren't really a thing yet.

Studies consistently show that piracy increases sales.
Got any of those?

If you can't say something nice...
Being online would be lot better, and I think we would learn more. Trying to implement this in myself. I wasn't raised right.

Either watch the movie OR read the book. Never both. Both just leads to disappointment at the cost of your time.
There are notable exceptions, LOTR comes to mind, well executed adaption IMO.

Copium bruh. The creators are making this content with the expectation of being paid for their labour. By pirating you are denying them of this regardless of your reasons for doing so. Saying it's mostly "corpos who host the content" is the ones you're scamming is just shifting the blame. If nobody paid for subscriptions etc corporations wouldn't profit and thus wouldn't host or fund content and it's creators. Obviously giving creators a larger slice is better, but denying them of anything because you think that is hypocritical (which I am)
You are assuming the corpos didn't just buy the rights. Cause if they did, the creators got paid already.

From a technical standpoint and a legal one, piracy is copyright infringement, not theft. It's a similar behavior but fundamentally different altogether at its core, largely because the victim of piracy does not lose anything tangible, only a perceived opportunity of a sale (which can be argued as not having been an opportunity in the first place depending on who is performing the piracy).
Both are bad, but people calling piracy theft have a terrible misunderstanding about it.
Just call it training the AI in your brain. You couldn't be expected to be successful if you had to pay for all that training material...

Why did they buy the rights from the creators, tell me. Go on. Think a little.

Yeah seems like there is about a 5% loss in sales for new movies and negligible loss for everything else according to that source. Notably the source does not say that piracy increases sales but of course it didn't why would someone read a fucking source before citing it. I mean it's not like the source addresses specifically what questions the source attempts to answer and the results they found in the opening fucking paragraph.

I once made a seafood and butter sauce pizza for a highschool gf. Hated it myself but she still talked about it years after we spit. Pizza and Sandwiches are the peak of human civilization
It’s no coincidence that most pizza shops also sell sangwiches

I don't like puppies. Also unrelated Christmas. I'm a kid's cartoon antagonist ready to happen.
I get that. The idea of Christmas is nice, and I like that it's a day off for me, but it is just a lot of extra stress. I'm not even Christian but there's still just so many societal expectations.

“Brutal honesty” motherfuckers just want to be mean. Also they can’t handle honesty from others at all.
Almost nothing worse than a thin skinned bully. If you can't take it, don't dish it.

Kudos to you, I did intentionally ignore that point for brevity. No point in addressing it if noone was going to followup on it.
It is going to take a lot more piracy, like 500x to make buying the rights not a lucrative investment. So at present it just reduces their gains. In the long term it actually made it so that they stopped buying rights, then they might go back to royalties or something to reduce thier upfront investment. That would actually be good overall for both us and creators as it would increase the chances of the creator making out big early in thier career when something small takes off. Creators themselves are more likely to invest that early money on higher risk projects which will lead to more variety in the overall offerings and more new creators being able to make a living creating. -
Pizza is one of the best food forms we've ever come up with. I don't even care if you use wildly nontraditional toppings, like a chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza. Just put the shit you wanna eat on a giant dough, cook it, then cut it up and eat it. Genius.
chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza.
Go on, I'm interested...

One of my siblings just... doesn't like pizza. All of the individual components are fine in other dishes, but not together. I don't understand.
