Lol, okay. I'm trying to see what you, specifically, are referring to. But I guess that's too much to ask.
Have a nice day.
Lol, okay.
asked for sources
doesn't provide them
So convincing.
I'm curious what you are specifically referring to. You're the one who brought up scientific studies. Link to them. Are you saying you just read what was in this thread and that's what you're citing? Okay. Link to the specific studies you're talking about.
I'm not interested in what other people are referring to. I'm interested in what you, the guy bringing up studies, is referring to.
You say they're "definitive." Show me a definitive study. Go on. Go ahead. Don't make me comb through and assume what you're talking about. Stick your neck out and own it.
Can you link it?
definitively
Lol, I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Let's see this "definitive" research. You probably think any study is "definitive." Lol.
Ffs so you know how pedantic you sound right now?
🥱

He wasn't really killed with a blank.
so all else being equal we should have the lowest crime rate, right?
In what myopic world do you live in where "all else is equal"?
Also, you're confusing "harsher sentences" with "incarceration rate." They are not the same.
However, should all people be damned because a few can’t be redeemed?
The thing is, all people aren't damned. There are plenty of options for rehabilitation in the US for prisoners who have the capacity for it and haven't committed crimes so heinous they don't deserve it. Those options should remain there and we should always be looking for ways to improve and expand upon them.
Still, what deters people from committing crimes isn't 'going to rehab.' It's going to prison where they lose their freedom and have to live in worse conditions than they would on the outside. If prison becomes an 'adult daycare,' then criminals would be less deterred by punishment and more willing to commit crimes as a result.
Piracy is an accessibility and quality control problem, not a cost one.
That depends on who you ask, lol.
You're just parroting Gabe Newell as though what he said is gospel.
He's a great man with a lot of good things to say, but this simply isn't true.
If you're paying for something you can get for free while the business selling it to you is making egregious profit, you may be a sucker.
It's misleading.
To me, I thought he was involved in running the trafficking ring, not just a customer.
I 100% thought this meant he was controlling the trafficking, not just a customer.
Lots of "journalists" have decided it's acceptable to make subtle adjustments to their headlines to fit a narrative.

Yeah, doesn't seem to reputable to me. And lying headlines like this means they probably never will be.
I knew a kid from Alabama back in high school.
He was exactly how you'd expect.
