Counterpoint:
I wrote a book. Sold maybe 10 copies. If someone “pirated” my book, they are depriving me of the $2 or whatever Kindle Direct pays.
Admittedly not a significant amount, but it does fulfill the definition, imho.

I mean, they are roll-ey AND poll-ey, so it makes sense.
Buy some congress people and get them to vote for things like public transport, universal Healthcare, etc.
US-centric, obviously
Maybe go ask her? Like, “hey, what was that all about?” And see what she says.
You may never know…
I don’t know if it even has a name, bit if I’m driving and traffic stops with me under a bridge, I’m always afraid it is going to collapse on me. Especially if big trucks are going over the top.
I used Liftoff for quite a while. It just stopped working one day about 3-ish weeks ago. Couldn’t ever get it to work again. I might be an outlier, but if others had the same experience it may explain it.
Married 30 years. Eyebrow position and, “eh?”
“Eh.”
And we are pretty much on the same page.
Ooh! Morse code with tongue clicks!
Depression = twice in the last month. I have an appointment to adjust my medication.
If the parents took the computer out of the room, told OP that they could not put the computer back in the bedroom, and used parental controls to limit internet access, I would consider moving it back into the bedroom anyway and bypassing the limits as “open defiance”.
What is a “used” bedroom? As for flies, buy a pack of fly strips for a couple bucks. That should handle your introductory list of “oppression”.
All you are going to do is prove that your parents are right to not trust you. Consider why they don’t want you to have it in your room? What happened that they won’t allow it? Or maybe you need to prove you can be trusted with it first?
If this was one of my children acting in open defiance like this, the next step would be locking the PC in a closet for a month, and then trying again with it downstairs. To allow them to earn trust back.
This is not the way.
Gotcha. I read it as “Open Source”. I’m deep in industrial automation and it’s rare to find a kindred spirit.
Automation framework? Industrial automation or something else?
Ha! “What the heck is Pathfinder?!”
– everyone I know
OMG. I want a T-shirt that says “I survived the Satanic Panic”
Ugh, jealous. That’s only happened twice for me. To be fair, I’m of an age that I started with BECMI, followed by AD&D. Took a break and picked back up for 5e
Maybe it’s the age group…
Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. Usually gets an, “oh” and a sideways look
