"Why I pirate" was so annoying. It was like a lamp to the edgy moths who loved to bullshit how they're thieves and criminals and aren't afraid to admit it. Homie you're copying somebody else's copy of somebody else's copy of somebody else's copy of a bunch of files, you aren't slicing Spanish sailors' throats and plundering sugar, rum, food and drinking water from merchants and trading vessels
