  • 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.

    Egypt is lowest on the rape list. There is a huge stigma to report a rape in Egypt. From what I gather, nobody trusts the Egyptian numbers.

    My gut tells me the situation is similar in both Armenistan and Turkmenistan. Punishment for rape might be severe, but very likely the social pressure on the victims is also immense.







  • Thank you for being much more eloquent than me.

    The average troll wouldn’t be an asshole in real life. They’d likely just be an average bloke like us all that lost theirselves in online anonimity.

    Time and time again we see that in many disasters the majority of people in the affected community come together and help each other tremendously.

    There is ofcourse always rotten apples and exceptions. That doesn’t take away from the fact that people are inherintly good to their fellow human.



  • I hate that pov so much.

    Humanity is fantastic, wonderful, loving and amazing. It’s not a shit hole.

    I’d argue society is really broken in some places, but not humanity.

    As for Social media: it just brings out some dark side in some people. The vast majority of people on social media behave. It’s just that the outliers catch the attention.
