If i create something new, and you merely copy what i created or you use my thing as advertisement for any of your schemes, then yes, i deserve some protection from that.

I pirate everything that i cannot afford. Lately it’s gotten to the point that i can afford everything but before i had Money i would pirate all games that looked interesting.
I just didnt wanna lose money that i barely had saved.

And no, my interest in the thing i stole never had any impact from the pricetag.
I liked the thing, thats why i wanted it.

And i do not understand people that try to make theft morally okay.
It is not okay to steal from Target the same way it is not okay to steal from EA.
If you can afford it just buy the things.

I made up exceptions to this rule to make myself feel less guilty. At the end of the day the reason was that i was poor and i couldnt accept that i couldnt get a thing.

Based

1. Yes, it has gotten out of hand sadly. But it was a well meant way to stop people stealing intellectual property.

Quit smoking and drinking in the last few years thanks to a great community i joined.
I don’t miss it.
Sometimes when i watch a movie and someone takes a cigarette break i kinda feel like it would be cool but then i remember that a pack of cigs costs 9 bucks.
I like money more than nicotine.
The only drug i take now is coffee.
And Methylphenidate

Maybe that’s why ddg doesnt click with me.
How do i use ddg for technical questions that need some obscure forum posts from 15 years ago? I obly get stackoverflow and windows forums. Those arent helpful at all.

Full. All the way.

Google is the default. How can you say that duckduckgo has good results if you dont compare them to google. Trash diagram.

Do you think I will be the only bad apple? Do you have any idea how much crime we have that is not for the purpose of meeting someone’s needs?
Are you still in school?
The idea of utopias like you described always falls apart at the human aspect.
There is no way to just numb everyone’s brains to the point that we eliminate jealousy, envy and judt general “societal bads”. What do you do with the huge amount of religious zealots that claim apples for their religion? People who are judt power hungry? Drug addicts? Alt-rights? People who want money?
Politicians? Anarchists?
I am not the only group that wants all the apple. As soon as i take some apples for me someone else will become jealous and retaliate and satisfy their felt unfairness by taking even more. Are we just gonna kill or put half of the population in rehab?

Who says I don’t? I already took all the apples.

member of society will take it kindly to see someone trying to destroy their society

Uhuh… When are we going to see these riots? The US has the 2nd amendment and no guns are being raised against tyrants…

How do you explain republicans? People who write loveletters to mass murderers?

Yah, totally infested. So unresonable to think that history repeats itself and your imaginary utopia has flaws.

my neighborhood has multiples of me. we are now a group.
Yeah sure. We cannot take all the apples out of cincinatti. But i can take all the apples from my town. Especially if i convice other people that are powerhungry like me. Narcisism and sociopathy exist, never forget that.
And on what grounds would you put me in rehab? Because i did what makes me feel good?
I take care of all the stuff nobody wants to do.
I clean the drains, i upkeep all the things you use for leisure.
People are lazy and would rather barter with me than to overthrow me. If they did, someone would have to wade through the shit all day.

Kings and Queens did not have a real reason why they should be in power. They created their own reasons and used all their ressources to keep everyone down.

Because i would take all the apples. And the carrots. And if you wanted some you would have to barter with me. If you didn’t, then you would not have all your needs met.
Because people are not intrinsic good.
If you fail to take that into account then your idea is flawed.

In a society like you described money would be created. First as bartering and then eventually a form of money will start to exist.

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can’t make inferences and observations from the sources you’ve gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you’ve gathered.

You can’t make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field?

A college degree? In that field?

Then your arguments are invalid.

No, it doesn’t matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven’t provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven’t.

I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I’m debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

THATS ADHD!!!

Employing people that required me to “function”

First of all i did. When i worked in a place that used Excel heavily. Didn’t touch Excel before that and learned them all in minutes. You’re not that cool.
And then: Why would i need to? I do not use Excel for my work anymore. Any of them actually. What Plumber uses =(getpivot on a regular basis and why would he need to know that before using it?

Yeah. I can do most stuff on my phone.
