Its funny because I have no issue killing or robbing NPCs no matter how good or friendly they are. But the second any multiple choice response pops up, pictured below is me any time I hover over the rude answer.

Yup, this was me. I picked up Stellaris probably not even a year ago at this point. While not entirely friendly, I at least made peace with my neighbors during my first play through. And then for my second play through I pirated all the DLC because holy fucking shit that’s expensive. I ended up becoming the crisis, blew up some stars, and eventually the whole universe. Good times.
And calling people that get another animal heartless isn’t?
Anyway, it was meant as a commentary on how people can grieve but still get new pets. I wasn’t commanding them to grieve this way. Maybe “you gotta” was a poor choice of words.
I never said anywhere that anybody needed to take on another pet. All I said was, essentially, it’s okay to do and people aren’t heartless for doing it.
You gotta move on through the grief, accept that they’re no longer with you, but that you gave them the best life you could. And maybe realize that giving another pet a good life doesn’t mean you’re replacing or forgetting your last one. Some people are just better at it than others, they aren’t being heartless.
That said, people who get a new dog a week or two after their previous one died are insane to me. That just feels disrespectful.
Depends. They certainly lose a potential sale from some people, but many people who pirate books never would have read it if they needed to pay for it. Be that because of a lack of money or a lack of interest. Same with games and shows. So no lost sales there.
You could even argue that pirating helps with sales by causing people who never would have read the book otherwise to discuss it with friends or strangers online. I personally think that argument is a big stretch, but it’s not entirely wrong.
But yeah, more pirates should be willing to support authors of books they like. If you think they deserve it, buy the ebook even if you’ve already read the whole thing.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. I don’t know how the comics handle these subjects, but I think the most annoying part of basically all the marvel movies is the way they bring up an interesting moral conundrum only to completely abandon the idea once the reason for characters to fight is set up.
Thanos has a point? Can’t have that, he’s the bad guy! Let’s make him do the most evil thing he possibly could with that power so you never need to think about it again. What’s that, Civil War has interesting points on both sides? That’s nice honey, anyway, Tony and Cap are going to beat each other up now and we’re never going to mention it again.
Thanos was the universe’s biggest mass murderer, but at least he had a point (even if his solution was the dumbest thing imaginable}. Musk is just a PoS.

Yeah, with billions on the line, 24 hours is a cake walk
