God am I glad I don’t live in the US

Jesus… poor guy. A great sacrifice, indeed.

Very interesting read! I’m from Germany and taught myself English. I’m currently at a C1/B2 level (it’s a European standard I think?) and consider myself good enough to move through English speaking countries independently just fine.

I’m basically studying English every day by reading and watching YouTube exclusively in English. Love it!

It’s a shame that many people don’t bother honing their language skills.

While that’s true, it’s generally much more widespread in the great red, white and blue country of the world.

Jumping on here to advertise my hairy ass too

Man, I am glad I don’t live in the great red, white and blue states of America.

German healthcare for the win.

Just dropping in here to tell you that we all love you. That is all 💕

Thank you, weary sailor ❤️

GTA San Andreas on the PS2! (Barely remember it though because I was a smol wee little boy)

Other than that, Skyrim! This freakin game introduced me to the wonderful world of Bethesda Games! ❤️

Edit: Boy, there are many people here with decades of experience. I’m just 21, guys, don’t make me feel left out 🥲

The Megapixel “argument” is also laughable. Like you said, casuals can’t know the difference.

I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕

Also very true!

Exactly. Some people are a little ignorant, and that’s completely fine and understandable. Humans aren’t all the same. Some like to educate themselves about a certain topic, while others learn something else.

That is perfectly okay. We should ultimately respect everyone’s opinions (Only reasonable opinions based on their current level of knowledge) because it’s not in everyone’s interest to know everything about, say, pirating.

Some like to glorify it and publicy fight for it, because they don’t know any better or are just like that.

Furthermore, you and I know that the vast majority of us, pirates, sails discreetly. Most know that for the system to remain easily pirate-able, it’s prudent to do so hidden in the shadows.

The key is to blend in with the crowd. You are just one ordinary person among many. You don’t draw attention to yourself.

“That’s the [Pirate Sailor] way to learn.”

You are right, albeit a little rude, but that’s not the point of this debate. Piracy is a necessary “evil” to either get paywalled digital products or to preserve and archive deprecated media.

Wether society deems it immoral and illegal or not is irrelevant. The keypoint in piracy is to operate and remain in the shadows to minimize awareness and action taken against us.

To publicly glorify it is counterintuitive. The people that do so are compromising us all. The best course of action to take for piracy is to do nothing. Nothing that further alerts other adversaries to take action against us.

Sail in the night.

I honestly wonder if Germany would do this. The Germans have always been heavily for data privacy and foreign companies usually hate working with us, due to the German data privacy laws.

Aye.

Looks like the mind has mastered after all

Oh yea that would be nice

Got it! Thanks!

I’m gonna be the voice of reason and tell you that this question doesn’t fit here. Try Google or GPT4.

I have a feeling you could answer this question in a few seconds, yet you respond with this.

All earned with hard work, my brother. Trust me, man, complete whatever college or school things you have left, and after you’re set, treat yourself.

Pro tip though: Hold off on getting kids or building family. Give yourself some time to relax and enjoy life for a decade or so and go absolutely ham!
