Parents growing up: “Stealing is bad, stop torrenting”. Parents now:

Give it a few more decades and your mom will ask how to get free food as well

My mom: You know where I can get some bread?

Me:
- As we go marching, marching, unnumbered women dead. Go crying through our singing, their ancient call for bread. Small art and love and beauty, their drudging spirits knew. Yes, it is bread we fight for, but we fight for roses too.
朱门酒肉臭，路有冻死骨。

Behind the vermilion gates meat and wine go to waste while out on the road lie the bones of the frozen.

Netflix? No... but how about everything instead? straw-hat-pirates

Yea my boomer-ass parents are sick of everything being subscription and have turned to me to pirate stuff for them, makes me happy pirate-jammin

Pirate something for them and they’ll sail for a day. Teach them to pirate and they’ll sail for life.

Hi,

Can someone reply to my comment with a Pig Poop Balls image?

as a teen I would tell my dad that I was morally obligated to break the law if the law was wrong, but I did get in trouble whenever we got DMCA notices so I had to get smart about it or risk getting grounded.

Sounds like something about material conditions...

When I was a kid, my dad pirated cable with one of those bootleg tuner boxes. It even had pay per view, IIRC. So it was pretty dope teaching him how to torrent. Thanks pops.

I taught my parents how to torrent in the mid 2000s. They were in board pretty quick with napster and other p2p so it wasn't hard to explain. My dad technically has a degree in computer programming but that was punch cards and he didn't get a job doing anything with computers so he didn't keep up more than casually, but he knows how they work fundamentally and that is a huge boost in starting point. He still thinks they're made of magic and capable if doing things on their own
