America's political compass is weird. On one side you have a party that mostly just wants to keep the status quo, only really doing changes where it is already desperately behind the times. And on the other side you have the conservatives.

Kicking her feet?

On the realm of possibilities, windows can do whatever it wants. If it is connected to the internet then yeah it would be possible for Microsoft to do something like that, but I wouldn't be worried about it just for piracy. Something like that could be possible for detecting CP or things on that level but I doubt MS would go low enough to do that for simple pirated content.

Stack overflow still have users? These days it rarely shows up on my search results and when it does the answers are always outdated by several years.

They changed their dependencies and now your stack no longer supports the lib until you fix your whole framework to work with the up-to-date stuff.

Last one can be freely changed by anyone, the middle one still has some restraints.

It's definitely not rude to go shoes off in Brazil. While most people keep their shoes on, they'll also default to taking it off when visiting someone they don't know the habits of.

On PCs (specially steam):

  • Games are often discounted, so you can buy them at lower prices
  • Games remain available in your account "forever" (as long as the service exist). You can upgrade to new PCs as many times as you want and the games will remain available.
  • You can play online for free, you can make cloud backups automatically, you get achievements, tradeable cards and items, extra visuals and fake points for karma.

On Consoles (specially nintendo):

  • Games pretty much never get any discount, even after a sequel is released.
  • Once you replace it with a new console, you likely won't have access to games you bought on previous iterations (up until recently you would lose games even by buying the same console).
  • You need to pay extra to play online, or to backup your saves, and there's no extra useless goodies.

So in short: There's hardly any reason to pirate something on PC other than to avoid paying for it. There's several benefits to getting the game legitimately. On consoles, getting games from the high seas is actually more convenient. Sometimes people will even buy the game but still play a pirate copy instead.

No no no, minimum age should increase by 360 days every year, that way people can still have hope that some day they'll be able to smoke. Staying true to how capitalism works.

I didn't even want the windows search results to include web links in the first place....

Brazil's legislation doesn't believe in slippery slopes. It doesn't have a "precedent" system like the US for example. Every ruling needs to be judged by its own merits.
