This apparently varies by country. In countries where it’s not the case, the library system is not killing book sales or authorship.

You have to elaborate on how it’s a bad argument. The existence of games at libraries doesn’t contradict what I’m saying at all.
People argue it’s immoral to pirate games because the artists must be compensated, but no one says that about buying used media or loaning from the library even though the artist still receives nothing.
Both loaning and used sales are shown to increase new book sales, so why wouldn’t the same be true for games?
You said that piracy is a moral imperative under these circumstances, and I’m going further to say it was never immoral in the first place.
Also of note is that libraries can’t loan out games for which there is no physical copy, which means big publishers are actively killing library availability as well.

I think it’s weird that people are okay with libraries for books, but when it comes to video games I’m suddenly entitled and have a moral obligation to give artists my money.

Assuming you mean eat less of the cereal and not less vegetables, that is what I’m suggesting would be preferable to me, yes.
The listed serving size is 2/3 of a cup for 65% of your daily fiber, but I think in reality most people are pouring much larger cereal bowls. I can understand why many people who try to eat healthy for the first time end up feeling sick if it’s this easy to hit 40 grams of fiber just in the first meal of the day.
I’m not saying no one should ever eat it, just that it seems impractical to me as a meal and more useful as a supplement.
All-natural human failure, fresh from 2018 for for your enjoyment:
Getting 75% of my daily fiber at breakfast and then another 75% of my daily fiber just from eating normally the rest of the day sounds like a lot. I can only see this being a good thing in like a food desert or medical situation where vegetables aren’t an option.

3 monthsIt’s not impossible at all. You just have to blur the faces and any identifying marks unless you’ve obtained explicit consent. Kind people already do this regularly.



Do you think video game piracy involves knocking off a GameStop?
