    I think there might be wires crossing in the convo.

    I don’t think it’s right or ok to insult someone based on who are what they are, at all. But I also don’t let every negative comment about those things impact me. If someone starts attacking my looks in an argument that means I’m winning and I press harder, I don’t get upset about it.

    I think the small dick thing, in a sense, is like calling people “gay” when they mean “weird” or whatever. Is it right? Hell no, but I don’t let it bother me if someone calls me gay, I pretend I am and I own it. Take away their power from saying that dumb shit.

    People are always going to say fucked up shit, trying to stop that will just give you high blood pressure. I think it’s better to disarm those things and not let it effect you, then the weight behind those words start to fade.

    Hey man, you don’t have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things.

    The thing is it’s not better, better is subjective. For a person that likes to collect media is pirating movies better? The ego on display here is crazy.

    I seemed to have triggered you because you think the way you do things is the best. It’s not, sorry to break it to ya.

    Just feels like you’re insecure because you can’t tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.

    I get that dollars might be how you measure the value of every little thing, but to some people cost isn’t the only factor. Some people are willing to spend $10 to own a movie they like. But you would call them dumb, and if they explained why you’d call them insecure. Your stance is transparent.

    We own what we torrent more than what we buy, because buying media usually involves some form of DRM.

    And your assuming that matters to everyone. It doesn’t. Again you’re assuming what people should value like it’s some fact.

    Yeah the rest of your comments keep going into personal attacks. Lots of name calling and assumptions, seems to be a pattern.

    You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time!

    And you can start using yours any time. It’s easy. Just imagine people who think differently than you and what they might want or value. It’s called empathy.

    But doing so would mean accepting that you’ve been getting taken advantage of up to that point, which I doubt you’re prepared to do.

    Wow, so defensive. Either I agree with you or I’m being taken advantage of huh? Sounds like your ego is 90% of your personality.

    You’re way is not better. You just have too much who and pride to accept that others might value different things.
