We need to signal boost this, if true, because that is an egregious waste of someone’s time and a theft of their due compensation.

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

That is not always the case, from my experience

Fuck, I’m ready to try anything at this point.

…the rest of that resume must be absolutely insane. Or he’s applying to be a businessman.

I’m out here with a Master’s degree and 3 years of work experience and I’m not even getting a first call. Shit’s tough out here.

Could be a subclass. However, it should just be an ‘is’ method which is passed the array of [young, pretty] as input

Many people have given you answers of varying lengfhs, so I feel free to ask my counter-question…

You say you had int() and float() but would do you assume would happen if you had just replaced ‘input(Who are you?)’ with ‘int(7)’? What value would be assigned to name if the statement was ‘nam = int(7)’?

Following the logic you’re espousing in the OP, ‘nam’ would be equal to the string “int(7)” and the print statement would output “Welcome int(7)”. Either you understand why that wouldn’t be the case and should see why your original example works. Or you don’t and you should double check your understanding of functions and keep tapping people here for help.

Didn’t even start reading because the title is very “yea…and?” A lot of the stuff we have are hand-me-downs from military research.

Ah, so it’s more a Mississippi or Alabama

Because an adage isn’t necessarily untrue, like the OP is asking.

Pay me enough, and I’ll waste everyone’s time. Wait…

Did I just reinvent lobbying?

Our products are built by only the most discerning 6 year olds we could source. They know quality they will never have the luxury of experiencing for themselves when they see it (from miles away).

I would’ve thought that we’d all learned that finding people who agree with each other on the internet says nothing about their individual or collective sanity.

Shudda been liftin with yer legs there, buddy

Thanks for the rec

Nah, I honestly couldn’t remember. I’ve seen like random episodes from Picard and Kirk-era Trek and recently The Lower Decks. I’m an affliate because even though I don’t consume most Star Trek media, I enjoy what it brings to the culture and community of sci-fi.

It’s absolute jokes when people pave over existing examples, so they can be close to the center of the class photo for the new “thing”.

“We’ve devised this new way of consuming bread: by cutting it into thinner layers!”

That bit about Burnham had me double-checking myself because I’m an affliate Trekkie at best but I remember a character named Sisko who was black and some kind of commanding officer. And I haven’t even watched 20% of available Star Trek content.

That’s a neat concept. I’d like that

Just because a bad person reportedly funded a terrorist group, doesn’t make them not a terrorist group.

You know the war on drugs was never really a war on drugs, right?
