I think I don't have anything against piracy as long as it's copying, not theft, because in the end it benefits author by making him more popular and after all people don't own ideas, it's ideas who own people. Author owns the expression of idea.
i know what you mean, but i wouldn't say the average person who pirates honestly spends a lot of time advertising for the products they're pirating—why would they, it's not their job
I don't think this is entirely true, I don't think that someone would loudly scream about creation they pirated, yet majority would share it with friends, because they like it. And I think most of "pirates" like what they pirate, because why someone would pirate something they don't expect to like? Only if they have to work with it, but would someone pirate thing if he/she doesn't have work with it and they don't like it?

if you have some kind of platform where you can reach thousands of people and say "hey this game is cool buy it," then maybe that works, but even then, people don't like having to spend money on something they don't know they'll enjoy, and most of the ones who refuse to do so will never talk about it at all, giving no exposure whatsoever
But "hey this game is cool buy it" can provide at least something, it makes some people aware that game exists in the first place, which might not be a big deal for a AAA company, but for some indie dev, which didn't done marketing part (because lack of recources/money) it can make wonders. And you have platforms as Discord for example.

It's not about reaching thousands of people even, it's about reaching individuals who would love this game and supported it by not just bying it, but providing support.
basically, there's scum on all sides—we're all just selfish pieces of shit, that's the bottom line
Depends on what you mean by "selfish". Would be person who only thinks about helping others "selfish"? Yes, if we count satisfying your inner morals, principles (being aware of doing so or not) selfish, but that would mean that no matter what we do, it's selfish and classification of people into selfish or not is redundant, probably as well as existence of the word "selfish". Otherwise, no, not everyone is selfish.

Spoiler
Now let's rate this "verbal throttle":

Keeping reasonable conversation: +
Trying to understand other person, stating that you not entirelly disagree with him/her: +++

Skipping obvious dumb statement and not adressing it in any way: --
    Statement skipped: "By not theft I mean that person who pirated content doesn't claim to be a creator of the thing copied at the very least."
    Reason it's dumb: either it's lie or it lacks precision.
   
Overall: 7/10, makes you think, but not that much.

Spoiler
Okay, but what you really wanted to talk about though?

there's no advice you could give to a 20-something that he hasn't already thought to himself at least once

people like to say teenagers think they know everything, but if you think about it, in a lot of ways, they really do

you get stupider with age starting at age 20

my problem has never been with people who aren't perfect—it's with people who've never made an effort to be, and use their inevitable imperfection as a human being as an excuse to remain imperfect instead of using it as a chance to improve

I think in a lot of ways what changes is your values as you get older. I don't think I'm smarter than when I was in highschool but I definitely got my priorities straightened out.

Now this sentence here is wrong. It's not piracy who makes author more popular, it's his own creation which makes him more popular. If creation is good, people who can afford buying it buy it, people who can't afford it pirate it or they just don't touch it if creation didn't capture their attention.

Okay, but would it be better to have people pirate stuff or not? Well, it depends on a business practice companies use and on an industry they are used. Of course pirating is better for consumers, because they get access to creation for free (and sometimes in places where no legal access to a product exists). It's better for an existing product, because more people can provide feedback. Would it be better for a creator (and publisher if there is one)? Well, more people gonna hear about product, that's good. Some people which can afford it gonna pirate it instead of buying it, that's bad for creator, but such drawback can be negated to some degree by a good business practice and industry you work in. Creator after seeing his creation being pirated might not create anything afterwards, but that depends on a creator.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Sony has awful fucking security measures and doesn't spend enough of its profits on it's server upkeep to justify it's shitey download speeds.

You don't lose intelligence unless somebody's hitting you over the head with a brick or some kind of brain deteriorating disease. And supposedly you gain slightly more intelligence over the years, especially as your brain is still growing during teenage and adult years. The only difference is living longer, and depending on your life experiences, you can become a wiser and more mature person.
i've always liked the fight club quote "on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero"

there's a lot of ways you can read into that, and one of the ways is this—the longer you live, the more likely you'll live to see yourself continue to make stupid mistakes and dumb decisions, which smarter people than you would never make

wisdom is the stupid person's intelligence, because it's intelligence gained through life experience—the more stupid shit you do, the more you learn from those experiences

but an inherently more intelligent person than you would just intuitively know not to do those stupid things, without needing the life experience at all

There’s a pretty big disparity between this post and Verb’s though.

not really, given that IQ is only one specific way to measure intelligence

I don’t see how IQ dropping implies that teenagers are more knowledgeable than adults.

i didn't say they were more knowledgeable

what i'm saying is, people generally stop learning after they get out of school—to most people, life after school becomes about getting a job, making money, having relationships, masturbating, and other stupid unsophisticated bullshit

the rate at which you learn things, too, decreases dramatically as you age—there's a reason why foreigners tend to know two or three languages, because they learned them all at a young age (when it's the easiest), and why it's so hard to learn more as you get older

among other things

adults also tend to exploit their increased sense of responsibility to find excuses to continue doing stupid shit, like drugs and alcohol—"i'm a working adult, i pay my taxes, i'm allowed to come home and have a drink," etc.

This is a common misconception.
oh, okay
Doing well on an official IQ test means only that you did well on the official IQ test. It doesn't mean I'm inherently more intelligent than you if I were to have a higher IQ than yours. A lot of this comes down to problem solving. Where the contents of the exam(s) might be tailored to a certain demographic, another might score less. This doesn't actually mean that because the average IQ in certain countries maybe scored at 85 that it's a country of subhuman retards. If you were to take these individuals and give them a good education at a young age they would certainly score higher, for whatever that's worth. But it'd be due to being raised in a different environment.

Different races do think differently due to evolution. Climate, predators, resources, culture, all these factors have a say in how intelligence is perceived and regarded. IQ is a decent way to measure a certain type of intelligence, but not everything and not how intelligent a human being is.
this is basically what i was trying to say though

when i said it's only one specific way, i meant it—there's many other factors that go into it, that's what i was saying
