This is kind of a shit metaphor because if we extend it to how piracy actually works it highlights how stupid DRM is in the first place. A lock on your house has to be picked by each individual robber, unless they all show up on the same day. A cracked game would be like if only one person has to pick the lock on your house, but they don’t actually take anything they just make a perfect copy of your house without the draconian 12 step lock you installed and gives copies to whoever wants one. If you never noticed all the people sharing magical copies of your house with each other you would never know you lost anything, because you didn’t. Only your blind greed was injured by the thought that those people might have been willing to pay to use your house if only it had been locked down against those damn house copiers. On your next house you make the locks even more invasive and complex, to the point they block half the driveway or make the oven and bathroom unusable. Then that same one person spends an extra half day to pick it and makes a copy but without the crazy lock so they actually get a better house than you’re selling. Whether people like it or not, digital media has always been on the honor system, and always will be. DRM just punishes people for doing the honorable thing and paying.

Fire is a natural and necessary part of many ecosystemsm. It keeps parasitic insect populations down, stuff like ticks and chiggers, and some plant species rely on fire to prepare the soil for seeds and even is required for some plants to release their seeds. In dry ecosystems like the western USA it also consumes old dead plant material, reducing the fuel available for future fires and reducing fire severity overall. Many foresters and fire fighters advocate for increasing prescribed burns, essentially forest fires that we light on purpose in cooler and wetter times of the year to consume the fuel without risking a catastrophic fire that is difficult to control. I just think that’s neat.

I was going to make a speed running joke here but it made me sad so you get this instead.

If you accept for a moment that an all powerful god exists and created everything, then that means they made us this way on purpose, knowing we would be horny kinky degenerates. If there is a god, they’re the biggest pervert of all.

Gonna have to go with lasered off. I slept with a girl who had it done and I swear to god it was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen or touched. Smooth, soft, not an ingrown hair or razor bump to be seen, and from what she said basically zero maintenance compared to anything else. I recognize this is a personal preference because I’m not really into any body hair. Honestly thinking about getting it done myself. Nothing like a smooth soft ballsack.

I mean it’s not a secret. It’s lead. There’s lead in the water down there.

Those are, without a doubt, two of the tits of all time.
