As a high school student I installed a pirated copy on the school network so my friend and I could play it in class. This was at a small town school where the IT specialist was usually too busy being a teacher and track coach to pay attention to what students were able to do on school computers. They removed the ability for student accounts to install software eventually, but I never got punished for what I did.

This is essentially the plot of Tom Clancy’s The Bear and The Dragon. Bad book, don’t recommend it.

So half of Europeans have been paying attention.

And when the first U S. Official is arrested the Netherlands gets invaded by the US and we fully kick off WW3.

I’m sure if we just appease Putin his ambitions will stop there. Appeasement of dictators has worked so well in the past.

That just means he fits in with the rest of them.

Peace Prize winner says war is the answer. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

I wouldn’t call child abuse caring.

When has Trump ever cared about his children?

“China bad”

I don’t think this is it for one reason: Trump’s narcissism won’t allow him to consider the possibility of failure.

Damn Roko’s basilisk, ruining games journalism.

And that is why Yamaha makes everything from musical instruments to motorcycles

you’re par for the crappy attitude course.

Re: your edit

Why are you shocked? You yourself came here to complain about a very common problem in AAA games (always online single player). You know the way to fix that? Don’t play games from studios who care more about the analytics you generate than the games they produce.

You paid $70-$90 to not be able to play a game. You could have taken that money and bought 2-5 indie games that would actually let you play them because the designers aren’t out to sell data on how people interact with their product.

Unfortunately you aren’t

If you’re up for a 90’s classic you could try Goof Troop for the SNES.

Healthier to do that than to try being friends with a chatbot like a lot of lonely folks do

You can if you want to, I guess. No one called for impeachment because Obama bombed Syrian weddings and schools.

Congress decided quite a while ago that presidents are allowed to have a little war, as a treat, and only seek approval for it later. It’s been this way at least since the '90s and likely before.
