what are some cheap but good grocery items to buy/pirate?
pirating eggs is literally a victimless crime since eggs turn into chicks who turns into hens who turns into new eggs
Rice, beans, potatos, butter, milk.
Literally all necessary nutrients can be gained by just these.
THAT SAID, you wont feel great, its a poor diet, but it will get you along.
Check food banks man.
Holy shit did you just solve world hunger?
uhm no lol
vegetarians don't eat ham
does your food cloning machine only work on ham?
>pirate game
>now it's not available in the servers so no one can download it
;)
soyboys dont need food to live anyway
>eggs turn into chicks
Whoa! brb, gonna buy some aggs and have me a harem.
no, it can clone anything but it will come out ham shaped and I doubt anyone wants to eat carrots shaped like hams
>a man goes down to the market with the intent on selling some apples
>while there, a patron comes up and takes an apple
>using a spell he makes an exact duplicate of the man's apple, leaving the original at his stand and taking the duplicate away
>using his magic the patron creates hundreds upon hundreds of apples which he then gives away right next to the man's stand
>the man goes home with all of his apples unsold and with no money, because everyone already has all the apples they need for free
>Unironically linking to the ABC
Poofta cunt
Sounds like he needs to get out of the apple business
turns out the man was Adam and the magician was a snake!
>Duplicate ham at no cost and walk out of store
>only people left in the lurch in any way are the simpletons that continue to pay for their ham out of some mysterious obligation
But really, thank god for their good natured souls, otherwise there'd be nothing out there to take advantage of
Dude just cured world hunger, pretty h*cking based if you ask me
Okay I'm getting mixed messages here, Is EU saying they're FOR piracy? or AGAINST it?
>a baker makes a delicious bread for sale
>however he has no customers because of lack of awareness
>the helper takes some bread and hands it over for free downtown
>lots of people try the free bread, they like it and want more
>they head to the bakery to buy some bread, and the baker makes his money
>starving
>uhhm no sweetie i can't eat that ham because i'm vegetarian!
>trying to sell something that can be easily created in bulk out of nothing
jew deserves it
Heres the problem, We live in an age where Anti-consumerism is at an all time high for media, especially video games.
Example: Mario and Luigi superstar Saga DX is coming out in two weeks, but as most of you know the .CIA was leaked the other day. I have every intention of purchasing the game when it comes out because I love the original, but is that going to stop me from playing it now when its accessible? Hell No. I'll just transfer my data via JKS to my cart and keep going.
The primary reason for video game piracy is "Try before you buy" which is only fair. We're being asked to spend $60-$70 on a current gen game we have no idea if will live up to expectations, or turn out to be a shiny coat of paint on a box, and utter trash inside.
Problem is there is no return policy anymore. You can't just buy something to try it and return it if you don't like it, because you void sealed merchandise. At best, even if you only played 5 minutes of a game, you'll get 30% of its value for trying to return it because its been opened, and regards to digital you can't refund it period. Its no surprise people resort to piracy when companies wall you with your own purchases and screw you out of your own cash.
>next day the man injects venom in his apples and heads down to the market
>each apple comes with one small vial of uncloneable antivenom
>the patron comes back and uses magic to clone apples for everyone again
>turns out the venom didn't get cloned with the apples and the apples are safe to eat
>except for the few idiots who actually bought uncloned apples because the antivenom didn't fucking work so they all got lethal diarrhea and died
...
sell it on ebay
But even that system is flawed. Because now you're only allowed to sell it for what the buyer is willing to purchase for. A buyer won't buy an opened game for $60 when they cna buy a sealed one for that price. At best you'd be looking at $40 and below.depending on competition.
me on the left
couldn't the farmer just grow another ham
couldn't the developer just print another disk
Eat shif and die, corporate bootlicker
I've thought about it and I've decided that piracy does both good and bad.
It does wonders for good games with word of mouth marketing.
It sucks for bad games because everyone can see how shit they are before they buy them.
The only thing is that whether a game is "good" or "bad" is decided merely by popular oppinion, not any kind of objective standards so take that as you want.
>d-dude im only trying it ill buy it i swear
fuck off
you'd be surprised
I've seen it happen
The report says that piracy isn't harming other industries but in the case of video games, it says it's increasing sales.
>hey, these apples look delicious, can I try one before I purchase a bag?
>no lmao, no free samples
>hm alright, guess I'll just buy the bag
>what the fuck? These apples taste like shit, and some of them are rotten! I want my money back
>lmao no refunds, faggot
You doubt my autism for physical merchandise user. I don't believe in digital ownership, pirating is a means of demo-ing to me and it's all it ever will be.
>corporate cucks at full damage control
>corporate cucks can't accept the fact that a pirate is the only person were you can trust the opinion about any game, because he don't need to justify his purchase
>somehow, sucking jew dick = good
Glad I'm a pirate and I'm making people so fucking mad about it.
Don't forget
>the copied apple can't do multiplayer
>doesn't receive updates for patches and fixes
>the apple merchant doesn't get enough profit to make better apples in the future
>this discourages the apple merchant from doing business on the pirate platform and instead focuses on the other platforms
>other merchants follow suit
>the pirate platform came to be "no apples platform"
>the pirate platform get to be made fun of on the apple-enthusiasts internet forums
What the fuck is that guy wearing under the hoodie? It looks like some novelty St. Patrick's Day shirt but I can't be sure and it's bugging me.
vegetarians can eat everybody else's cum then
