I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.

Capitalism is definitely a major issue. I just don’t see how someone should not be compensated for work they perform, this includes art. Art can be free, but it shouldn’t have to be free. I think we may be saying similar things here.

Ok there buddy. There is no ‘high horse’ here. Piracy is piracy. People need to quit with their bullshit justifications. Just own up to it. I do. The fuck are you on about Christianity? There is literally no connection to religion/beliefs here.

People can’t afford to pay for it? Cool. It’s still piracy. One is still depriving the creator/studio/publisher/whatever of a sale.

But I can’t afford it! Therefore I deserve to have it for free!

Ridiculous.

Damn, I had not considered that. I should have known that this was yet another ploy to keep fascism in power. I mean, after the Nazi salute, I should have kept that in mind when examining why he does what he does.

I’m not sure I understand where you are going with that. Performative? Exhausting? The hell are you trying to say?

Only the wealthy can afford art? Music? Movies? Graphic Novels? Video Games?

Are you being obtuse?
