Pokemon was a fun emulate, anything else people like? Kirby games might be good too. Hmmm

Thanks! Just to add a little more detail:

The exact date and time of the astronomical explosion is unknown, but once it happens, Hounsell says the once-in-a-lifetime event is sure to inspire the next generation of skywatchers.

I was considering a new Samsung phone - is that baked into it? (Assuming you're talking Samsung anyway, based on the galaxy name)

I think !reddit just sends you directly to reddit and uses reddit's search engine, which has been infamously bad. Has that changed? It doesn't seem to be quite the same as appending "reddit" to queries to search for reddit posts, but using better search engines.

I wouldn't jump blindly but I'm gonna think

It's not about completely preventing infection, you can still get infected. It's about minimizing the odds of infection and lowering severity when infected, to mitigate transmission as much as possible. It's more about society as a collective and less about the individual. You can ride it out, sure. But if you pass it along to someone who can't, then what?

iirc, the only safe time to look directly at the eclipse is during totality, where the moon has completely blocked the sun. But that's a pretty small window, Dustin from SmarterEveryDay put out a really informative video last month if anyone's interested. He interviews Dr. Telepun who wrote a book on it and made an app that audibly walks you through what's happening during the eclipse in real time, really neat stuff.

duckduckgo does that with @duck.com email addresses too, I've liked using them so far

Frankly this catch phrase never made any sense to me, from a logical point of view.

It assumes that:

  1. If buying = owning then pirating* = stealing, because you own it without buying.

  2. And if buying =/= owning then pirating =/= stealing, because you can't own it otherwise.

But the justification in the second statement is completely irrelevant to the first statement. You still own it without buying. It's still stealing.

UNLESS - we examine what "stealing" is. This is where the arguments about being in a digital space vs. a physical space comes in. Where the question is raised: Is making an exact copy really "stealing"? Or, consider what is being "stolen"? The original item? The idea? We need to think about this more.

But it's here the argument should be made and here the debate should be. That's where "pirates" have a chance of winning. Let's get rid of this flawed, easily repeatable, but fundamentally incorrect catch phrase and come up with a better one already. One that makes sense.

*(Nevermind that most of you technically aren't even pirating, you're just downloading the fruits of someone else that pirated.)

Never heard of FMHY or awesome before, what are they? Could you point me there too? Thanks!
