I've pirated almost everything for the last 30 years from msdos on. But I wouldn't say it's a lifestyle. It's just that most of the stuff I would never buy. I don't need them, they are not important, but maybe I want a taste. I don't pirate music anymore because it's not practical and some of the software. Some.
Games I don't play much anymore, but I would pirate them until I have like 50 hours in. Then I start thinking maybe it makes sense to buy.
Unless it turns out cracked version is better than official one.
I have no idea what kind of person Nimoy was. He was always spock to me. The other actors I know better. What's a good docu that shows Nimoy as a person?
Let me rephrase it, just for you: you are taking in absolutes. In no universe is that sensible, let alone when taking about wars, not to mention without even defining what victory or loss would be. This alone points that you have a flaw somewhere in your thinking. At least that, if not that you are completely indoctrinated in an illogical way of thinking.
Oh, I thought Russia just wanted to protect the Sudeten? That's what I usually hear :)
Nato has nothing to do with it. I don't know what stoltenberg said and how it was taken out of context, but NATO is an organisation to which countries apply. Nobody is forcing them to join (except the threat of Russian invasion).
Ukraine is not that small and Ukraine would fight if it gets the weapons or not,because they are fighting for themselves. Likely less will die when they have something to fight with.
The actual evidence shows that Ukraine is losing far less people than Russia. One of the most evident proofs is the oryx report of lost hardware. It had it's flaws but I think it's very relevant. The leaked US report about two months ago has Ukraine at about 70k dead and Russia at 120k.
I know for a fact you are wrong and I'm right and it's so easy to prove it. I'm the one talking about possibilities, you are the one taking in absolutes (and conspiracy theories) . That's the reality. Talking in absolutes is a dead giveaway. It means a big separation from reality.
I don't think Russia attacked for no reason and I don't think Ukrainian victory is certain. I think it's going to be a long and difficult conflict. What I do see is people reporting from the battles. Russian and Ukrainian and others. That's the reality.
I have no idea what your are taking about, but we trekkies are against violent conquest, against violence itself. However defending ourselves and weaker peoples is a whole other matter. We are on the side of the oppressed and subjugated and are willing to stand up for them. I'm pretty sure they are satisfied with everything I have said.
You are free to comment on my opinions, please do , but attacking me personally, that doesn't come out as serious.
Did you read the title of this article? Brilliantly loaded with two Russian taking points : US being the reason for the war and that Ukraine cannot win and should not even fight. No one that cares about credibility would write that.
