I was 22 when I had my first time. Never considered myself a permavirgin.

Same. People are so damn dramatic.

I'm not going to say piracy is right or wrong.

What I will say is if everyone had access to that replicator, and everyone replicated everything in the store and left, the store would close down, and the products would stop being made.

Likewise, piracy is only viable because not everyone does it. If literally every person pirated the games or movies of any given company, that company would no longer be profitable and would close down.

Piracy is getting something for free because other people pay for it.

So how are a ton of people going to red note? Shouldn't that have been banned a long time ago if they ban every company?

The story, whether fact or fiction, talks about homeless people this way and dehumanises them.

Kmart and target both sell literal "poker kits" with decks of cards and chips with no restriction on who can buy it. In the toy section with the other board games no less.

No, your great aunt/uncle is your second cousin's grandparent.

Second cousin is your parent's cousin's child.

Your parent's cousin's parent is your parent's aunt/uncle, which is your great aunt/uncle.

You're parent's cousin is your first cousin once removed.

Another way I like to think of it is it's your parent's cousin's kid. So you can see why from their perspective it would feel more closely related, it would be like you having a kid and your cousin having a kid and then you seeing them together.

What really confuses me is your second cousins parent is also called your first cousin once removed.

Huh, interesting that Australian McDonald's has you beat in this regard. We have an "all day menu" where you can get big Mac, cheeseburger and chicken burger any time of day, and an "extended breakfast" menu where you can get Bacon & Egg McMuffin, Sausage & Egg McMuffin, Chicken McMuffin and Sausage McMuffin any time of day.
