Is it moral and ethical to pirate media?

This is a good one. I had a high school computer class and we had a quiz question that was something like:

Digital piracy is:
a. Moral and legal
b. Moral and illegal
c. Immoral and legal
d. Immoral and illegal

Of course, the only correct answer was "d". I thought it was such a one-dimensional and purposely ignorant question. I'm not even a piracy advocate or anything, but that was kinda ridiculous.

Seconding AltSnap although I use normal controls with an Alt key bound to a mouse button. Special shoutouts to "Action menu" for all the cool stuff it lets you do and "Windows list" which is just a better version of Alt+tabbing if you have multiple monitors.

"designed to be sung to the tune of 'Home on the Range.'"
(1) Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And after it’s grown
Then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.
(Chorus) Clone, clone of my own
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And when I’m alone
With my own little clone
We will both think of nothing but sex.
(2) Oh, give me a clone
Is my sorrowful moan,
A clone that is wholly my own.
And if she’s X-X
And the feminine sex
Oh, what fun we will have when we’re prone.
(3) My heart’s not of stone,
As I’ve frequently shown
When alone with my own little X
And after we’ve dined,
I am sure we will find
Better incest than Oedipus Rex.
(4) Why should such sex vex
Or disturb or perplex
Or induce a disparaging tone?
After all, don’t you see
Since we’re both of us me
When we’re having sex, I’m alone.
(5) And after I’m done
She will still have her fun
For I’ll clone myself twice ere I die.
And this time without fail
They’ll be both of them male
And they’ll each ravage her by and by.

"Todos os Olhos" if anybody wants to look it up

I see a lot of tapes at thrift stores or even antique stores. You could also get a Bluetooth or AUX tape adapter which are conceptually very cool

"It's against my religion to use preferred pronouns"
Also that religion: hi my pronouns are He/Him CAPITALIZED please. Please capitalize them when you use them.

"hole-in-one" or more like holinwuns, stress on the first syllable. We would use cookie cutters to get shapes out of the middle too.

#8 Beef Lemongrass banh mi style sandwich from a place called Baguette in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. I ate it many times in the short while I stayed there, probably 8-10 years ago. Sometimes I think about going back just to have it again...

Imagus feels like in an alternate universe it could be default browser behavior. When you hover over an image it will expand to full resolution and then you can press buttons to open in new tab, download, zoom in, etc.
Works on pretty much any website and is nice if the website has sized the images too small or if your eyesight is less than great.

Half-Life, Half-Life Opposing Force, Half-Life Blue Shift

 

ie: the main character finds out that everybody else is an actor and everything aside from their own actions are staged. My personal vote is that it would be pretty funny for Death Note to end like that
