You’re right, I got frustrated with work and took it out on you, I apologize.

The penal code necessarily uses incredibly narrow definitions with very specific verbiage.

Using the word steal in OPs title is common use of the word, which aligns with the dictionary definition, they certainly are not quoting a legal definition

Get outta here with this dumb shit.

So much ‘verbal’ diarrahhea to try to make yourself feel better about what you’re doing.

I pirate shit, that is a form a theft. Cope with it or stop doing it.

You do understand the difference between penal code and the definition of a word, no? Surely the reason why the two are not at all even slightly interchangeable is plainly clear to anyone of reasonable intelligence.

To selectively focus on one small sliver of the definition of the word, ignoring the full meaning of the word and the context to push your agenda? Smells like propaganda.

I guess you can’t steal anything when you just decide to limit the definition of the word.

But if we’re in reality and using the way words are actually defined then yes you can steal something intangible, and no it does not require someone to be deprived of something.

Theft isn’t specific to property, you can steal services too.

The water is certainly muddy with digital media, but this is just another oversimplified argument.

If you need to do mental gymnastics to feel OK about pirating then…idk find something better than this.

Because its cold and refreshing? Ice water stays cold longer than not ice water.

That’s such a simple thing for people with mobility problems to solve for themselves.

If straws are a requirement then carry your own straws. Then you can choose the material.

I’m not sure how Development language is relevant here…but I hated PHP.

Tell that to my cat who’s preferred drinking vessel is a small cup she’s gotta stick her face into

This circles back to if you are that concerned about privacy

1. Don’t join an instance that requires an email and 2. Use temporary or one off email accounts.

Its seeming like a lot of people want privacy but aren’t willing to take even basic steps to protect their own privacy, instead wanting someone else to do it for them.

But we’re back to who cares? Why are you so concerned with people seeing what you’ve voted on an anonymous social media platform?

If you are that concerned with privacy that worthless data on your anonymous account troubled you, then posting to public social media doesn’t make much sense.

Uh…duh? Why would you think this info wouldn’t be available to admins and also…who cares?

I try, but then usually give up when it fails to submit 3 times

I’m from the US and have never heard crackpipe used as a racial term…certainly doesn’t immediately bring black people to mind.

I played around with ChatGPT for programming for a few hours a while back.

It is far better at explaining code in plain language than pretty much any human I’ve seen, atleast online. It’s absolute dogshit st writing anything but the most basic of code, but it does do a good job explaining.

Programmers are shit at communicating.

People on stack overflow explain things?
