Oh no, there's so much more to be sorry for those people for besides just what they miss out on. I'm actually more prone to being sorry they are so vocal about it.

I'm sorry for most people, but at the same time, most are more aware its a thing than anon has demonstrated.

Came here to say, it sounds like they wanted a third, and failing to note the possibility is one of the more immature features of the greentext.

The "where" I was referring to was, yes, by jurisdiction, but also roads versus trails, and public vs private property.

Depends where you ride, iirc

I mean sure, but the things people are prone to stealing physically, when they wouldn't otherwise but for price, tend to be those they must have just to live. That's not the sort of consumption we can ethically reduce.

The comment I responded to was regarding climate change and resource consumption, and piracy's "impact" on them, so ...

Nope. Climate change is a pollution issue. Reducing consumption can reduce pollution, but paying or not paying for a digital copy of something has effectively zero cost in the form of natural resources or pollution.

Everything I needed to know about school, I learned the first time I saw they would fire women over this stuff.

No one should be basing their "how to do it right" on a single forum comment. Talk about scope-creep for the offering of advice.

"... and God said, let us make man in our own image."

Virtual Classrooms were the first thing we tried and realized it wasn't for us. We dropped it within a few weeks. I can't imagine spending any significant amount of time stuck with such a finicky and un-reliable medium.

"Look at it wrong and it breaks" is very apt in that situation; All the while they are "taking attendance", and none of the lessons were available for later viewing. Our kids learned more from going through stacks of worksheets* with our help, reading, and just spending time with us as we went about whatever errands.

*worksheets were over 95% of the Virtual Classroom work anyways. The rest was art and poorly thought-out "expiriments", with the occassional form-letter/one-paragraph-a-week "essay". Not even book reports or recommended reading!
