I would not have bought it, no. I don’t really buy games.

Also it was like 50-60 euros, that’s a dent in my monthly drinking budget man, I can’t take that. It’s like one nice or two semi-nice or three okay bottles of rum.

cope and act like piracy was doing them a favor.

It’s you who’s “coping” actually.

The EU commissioned a study on piracy affecting sales some years back. When it came back as “no negative effect, perhaps even a positive one”, the EU lowkey tried suppressing the study.

There’s the actual study.

And here’s the news about the suppression.

Me and my brother pirated it, loved it, bought it. (Especially because the multiplayer works on pirated version and very simply so.)

Piracy increases sales.

Remember the PS1 demos? Had I been of working age back then, I’d have bought half of them merely because I loved the demos.

And millions of dipshits bought into the “dont vote genocide-joe” Russian propaganda, so…

Yeah I wouldn’t know about that aspect, the only time I’ve ever had a “normal schedule” were in the army and a few months of day shift as a taxi driver. And if I had to do something in the middle of the day I just did it between fares.

So I don’t I now if people working 8-16 in Finland take personal days but it’s possible at least. Not that it’s even necessary for most I think. There’s not many places you still have to physically go to to apply to things and whatnot. Mostly online.

You’re not wrong in most of what you’ve said but equally in the EU you got to apply for one and pay for it, and an ID card is ~40€. Passport is a bit more. But yeah you could actually take your own passport photo with a mobile as long as it fullfills a few requirements. Most people just use a photographer who sends them directly to the police and then you just go online and pay and wait a few weeks and get your ID in the mail.

But yeah I know how different it is in the US especially because it affects different populations differently.

I agree there’s no need to exaggerate.

But it is worrying anyway. It’s very much play-by-play from Hitler’s playbook.

Suppress opposition while getting a force which simps for you and challenges normal authorities.

And I probably Jimmy Carr, because YouTube kept pushing his shorts.

I googled this Hovind fella and you’re right, I can see that as well.

I actually thought he looked liked Jimmy Carr

Shit.

Honestly, every single time I think there can’t be any more horrid shit to surprise me… there is.

Oh yeah Hitler apparently admired a lot of American policies. Especially segregation. Which the US still had when they supposedly conquered fascism. (And years and years more, decades really) And then took a bunch of Nazi scientists, lol.

But yeah, at least for several decades it was on the backburner and when Obama was president I was actually hopeful.

But then…

20-fucking-16.

The speed of this fascist bullshit spreading is really a tad worrying.
