Hoe isn't really a gender-neutral term. It's really rude to call someone a gardening tool.

John Oliver x Cities Skylines??

I can imagine him doing a show on CS, but can't imagine him being a part of it except as small DLC.

Tack on bro, sis, king, queen, and dude, and you've got a ton of words to choose from

I think Nintendo is gonna chill out because they got what they wanted. AFAIK in the super blatant piracy lawsuits, they won huge sums of money but required stupidly low payments of $50 monthly. Part of me thinks that they don't actually care about piracy itself, but they do care about how it affects their ownership of their properties.

A big reason why I say that is because of a legal theory made by Moon Channel on YouTube. Nintendo as a young company was sued by Universal because Donkey Kong violated the King Kong trademark. Nintendo won that case by arguing that Universal lost said trademark because it was loosely enforced, and they probably feared that another company could do the same to them if they weren't careful. This could be why they are only suing big targets that are profiting from emulation/piracy and not "non-profits" or smaller sites.

That being said, Nintendo wants to create legal precedent by denying a specific principle in the DMCA that was legally ambiguous. Previously, it was assumed that you could bypass copy protections by supplying your own keys, but now, providing instructions on how to do so may not be allowed.

And you don't seem to understand...

I remember seeing a few studies suggesting that users who spend more money on media also pirate much more often. That might be how most pirates operate in reality.

This take aged so poorly

I'm sure you're right, but IANAL. The only stuff that could be banned under this principle are precursors. Emulators aren't a means to piracy, they are a tool that could be used with pirated material.

Probably Gaza.

I honestly think Biden is an overall good president whose positive impacts will be felt in the long term. However, it's really not a good look when he's (publicly) supporting a country that is actively committing genocide while disguising it as only fighting terrorism. It's also hard not to think about his massive screw-up in Afghanistan, but I don't think people care about that.

The Super Super Happy Face on ROBLOX. I randomly decided to buy it when it went on sale, and now it's worth insane amounts of Robux.

Bury the Light and Devil Trigger from the DMC5 soundtrack are absolute bangers

Change by Skyelle is pretty good too

Idk, some leaked comments show that Biden freaking hates Netanyahu, so I don't buy the "genocide is not being taken seriously" argument. My theory is that the administration is too scared to act against Israel.

Neither? They're in the part of the population that don't live paycheck to paycheck and actually has a chance of retiring. The median software engineer salary is $120k in the US. The median household income is $74k. I think American software engineers are doing fine.

Software devs (in the US at least) make insane amounts of money.

Sorry to hear. There will probably be a boundary that she crosses, and I'm hoping y'all can deliver some nasty consequences when that happens so she leaves y'all alone.

Even if you didn't seed, if it's copyrighted content, many places make it illegal to download it as well

Sega might be 2nd place or on par if you ignore Sonic

Can't believe that my code is racist smh

Anecdotally, that makes sense. If you were to look at piracy overall, however, I wouldn't be surprised if that ratio was closer to 50/50.

To be clear, I'm not commenting on the allegations, just people's automatic acceptance of them. People need to be heard, but in a situation like this, both parties need to be equally scrutinized. You can't deny that there are individuals who are taking advantage of recent movements and destroying people's careers. That can be true even if the majority of allegations made are truthful.
