Yup, at least in some cases. In one of the home networking subs I’ve seen several questions that after a quick search were posted on reddit within an hour before they showed up here. It kind of pisses me off wasting time trying to help someone that doesn’t even exist on the fediverse.
All 5 of my cats were strays/born from strays. Plus there’s another 10 strays outside near my place that I’ve been taking care of, and sheltering from the cold.
And I’m not even a cat person. I’ve been pussy whipped by their cuteness.
They like to whine and cry that piracy makes them lose money, but the opposite is true (at least in my case.) I wouldn’t have bought half the games I did if I hadn’t first pirated them to try them out. I’m certainly not tossing $60+ dollars on something I “might” like otherwise.
