How is that “dehumanizing” when human is literally in the explanation. Had it been “female apeoid” I’d have agreed, but humanoid… So “moid” for male humanoid is “dehumanizing” too?

"A humanoid is a non-human entity with human form or characteristics." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanoid

A humanoid is by definition not human, hence calling a human a humanoid is dehumanizing.

A big question is, how many sales are actually lost to pirates, or, how many pirates would have bought the game if they couldn't pirate it. The answer is neither zero, nor all of them, but I don't know what the actual answer is.

The reason why DMR tends to get cracked is that the concept is inherently flawed. If the entire game runs on your machine, then everything needed to run the game has to be on your machine at some point. DMR is security by obscurity.

Idea: Governments maintain a list of entities that are evading the law like that, and then doesn't prosecute people who are accused of crimes against such entities. The idea being that if you place yourself outside of the law's reach, you also place yourself outside of the law's protection.

I'd say it could go either way. You could publish a positive piece on a company and then buy stock in them. They can make a profit whether their research turns out positive or negative. This would however give them an incentive to sensationalize their results, to exaggerate their findings, be they positive or negative.

4 hours in, can still read it. Agree with your assessment, too.

It's sort of a strange approach, because this will leave you with the workers who can't find employment elsewhere.

Riding a creature. "Daggerfall" had ride-able horses. That's the oldest example I can think off. But there's probably something even older than that.

If he's playing the Sims 4, which the screenshot is off, then how did he manage that? It's quite easy to lead your sims to success in that game.

That sounds like a bad idea.
