    In this and every other context, renting exists. And in this and every other context, the fact that someone rents you something doesn’t mean you are allowed to access it for free. Renting a movie or a videogame isn’t purchasing, doesn’t mean you are allowed to access it for free. Renting a car isn’t purchasing, doesn’t mean you’re allowed to take it for free.
    Copyright issues aside, the slogan I reacted to is just plain wrong.





  • I’m from Russia, and I totally get your experience. When the war started, I had to go to work. There is the whole ass war, the government invades other countries under the most batshit pretense possible, people are being conscripted to go die in a ditch, the future just got canceled, and I need to care about my stupid little job, and stupid little rent, and stupid little groceries.
    The only thing that helped me getting by head back in place (slightly) was getting the fuck out of there, but even that helped only a bit.
