Yikes!? Though never fail to underestimate the stupidity of… yeah okay I see your username, you already know that:-P.
It’s like why didn’t peasants rise up and overthrow their royalty long so, as those in the USA & France eventually did? Bc there was always a tiny handful of people who benefited from the status quo, and were willing to defend it with their very lives.
Or bc it’s Lemmy, it could also just be a pure Troll:-P.
Bold of you to think that they even think of us at all.
I actually mean that seriously: we continue seeing, over and over, that no, quite often they do NOT expect people to NOT do that, they quite simply DGAF. They pirate us, we pirate them, it becomes just another “cost of doing business”, until they are strong enough to eventually crack down further. See ad blocking & Chrome recently, after multiple decades of internet ads pushing the limits.
It’s like a zombie nom noming your brains - after like 2 bites it’ll get bored and wander off, and it literally doesn’t even need to “eat”, it simply is so fucking DUMB that it doesn’t know what else to do with itself. It is truly horrifying b/c while your entrails may be strewn about on the floor, or in the throats of tens of zombies, they in turn… don’t even have the decency to be aware that you’ve died!?
Lower-level managers sell ideas to higher-level managers, and “logic” has little to do with those conversations, compared to the amount of emo-stroking that goes on “oh, you will become so rich, and powerful, and handsome, and brave, and precious” (from here:-P) - and so long as enough people play along, that happens!
Our world is just so fucking STUPID.
That said, what they do is on them, while what we do is on us. Find a way to live - hopefully by finding a way to contribute, if/where you can.
Tell me more about these “spells”, which occur in limited numbers, are capable of long-range attacks, deal explosive & powerful damage… and can only be performed by someone who has the proper equipment and spends time in advance preparing them for use? :-D
Sadly, you give us too far much credit. “I’m sorry” not only expresses empathy, but can be construed by rich lawyers as an admission of guilt that can allow legal proceedings to move forward, to do things like garnish your wages until you can prove your innocence, or rather die trying - hence the companies will not even say that much. :-(
Likewise, that is a lot of yellow in the background there, and ink is expensive so… :-(
On the bright side, Lemmy is free, and fun, so that’s something? :-)

I went back in time to kill Hitler but instead we fell in love and our romance averted the war but then I was kidnapped back to the present and Hitler's broken heart made him do WW2 anyway. AMA
