Why bother commenting if all you care about is their grammar?

There is no ethical consumption, afterall. Pick the hill that works best for you, and die on it I suppose.

Depending on your perspective, the sell/trade/loan aspect of physical can be a huge deal. I outlined in another comment, selling/trading games was never my thing, but it was my cousins. From my perspective, there's marginal difference, but there IS a difference.

I would ABSOLUTELY argue that you more own a game purchased on gog, with an offline installer, than one purchased on steam. I now see the functional difference between owning a drm-free installer vs owning a physical game, but there's also a gulf of difference between steam and gog
Just to be entirely fair. The rest of what you said is absolutely spot on.

I can see the functional difference there, with regards to sell/trade/loan. You could of course emulate the functionality, or rely on the honor system for abandon ware stuff, but that's clunky, inefficient, not worth the energy.
I hadn't considered the second hand aspect. Even as a kid, I was always more a "build a library" kind of person versus a "cycle my catalog" kind of person. I was considering things from an availability to play the game perspective alone. Thanks for the different perspective!

Seriously not trying to just be contradictory:
What's the difference? In practical terms, what does this mean for me as the consumer? We don't own the intellectual property, but may use the software as-is? From a practical, consumer standpoint that feels the same as the days of owning your software on a disc, unable to be taken as long as you have physical control over the device. I'm fine with calling this "owning" personally.
I'm absolutely willing to be wrong on this. I'm by no means an expert. Please, if I have missed something, let me know.

Can I just do all those things and take $100? I'm already planning on voting but it'd sure help.

No rules, mate. That'd be silly.
But yes, generally people only so staunchly defend a position such as "I'm not mad" when they have some reason to portray themselves as not mad. Maybe ego, thinking they're above it, or they actually are mad and feel silly getting mad over some Internet BS.
If you're not mad, why not walk away? What do you gain by staying here? Day 1 of the Internet, don't feed the troll.
For what it's worth, my motivation here: this is HILARIOUS bro.
Also, it was paraphrasing. If it was supposed to be a direct word for word quote, I'd have used quotation marks.

Fair regarding to.
The reason you appear mad is because you keep replying, so vehemently adamant that you're not even the slightest bit upset, and yet you're spending so much energy to deny it. Thou dost protest too much.
Keep being mad bro

I'm ignorant of a great many things, bro. We all get mad. Just own it, bro.
Also, if you wanna be a pseudo intellectual at least spell "do" right.

That's why I stopped, primarily. I don't have a lot to give, but I can give some time, so I figured I'd help out how I could. Knowing it's probably just a ploy for money is annoying, especially considering all of the other panhandlers around that do actually need help.

I'd say it's as fair as any other approach hahah. We're talking about fairy tales essentially, so I find it a pretty compelling argument to point out the wildly disparate beliefs of actual people throughout history. Just because they've homogenized largely to this point (there are still VAST differences in even just the abrahamic religions of today, but not as much as there were during its active spread and creation) doesn't really remove that history.
Either way, not trying to punch at your original comment, just love exploring and expanding on the different beliefs of the past, particularly apocryphal ones.

Eeeeeh, depending on your interpretation, the physical body Jesus died from the iron spikes, the spirit Christ did not. The passage about the iron tools seems to be more symbolizing keeping as much of the labor away from the temple as possible.
It is a fun idea to think of the Christian God as a demon, weak to iron as some folk lore describe them. Kinda fits with the Gnostic demiurge too, but that's (the demiurge) distinctly not Christ.

Man. I stopped on the side of the road the other day to help a guy with a "need gas" sign. I'm not exactly well off myself, but I figured I could give him a ride. "I ain't got no cash, but thanks for stopping!" Dude's driving a pristine pavement princess. Priorities, man...

2 S's for dessert - you always want a second helping. How I always remember that one :p
Hey folks. I've tried to get a filter working for all of the "this is an automated archive" posts from reddit. They're pretty useless to me, as there's very rarely any engagement, and they tend to show up en masse when a community decides to just mass archive from reddit. I've attempted to set up a keyword filter with "automated" "automated archive" and "this is an automated archive" but with no success. I assume the keyword filters are only looking at the title text, not the description. Is setting a filter like this possible at present time?
Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it's been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it's always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it early it's actually very uncomfortable. Any suggestions besides the obvious "don't let go 5head"? Is this an android version bug, a hardware issue? Anyone else had this happen?

I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I've seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?
