No they don’t, because I returned it before a shortage occured. They just lost the profit from rent.

That’s strange, the goal post was right here just a minute ago…

Whatever time period you had taken the rental car for was a time period that they could not have rented it to someone else. You can’t know until after the fact if there would have been a shortage in that time frame. There’s also the extra wear you have put on the car.

If you took a rental car for 5 minutes and returned it I doubt anyone would charge you with anything.

Have you tried sprinkling cinnamon on your ass?

If someone’s part of the “public” then its provided to them for 0$, thats the deal. If they are an adult in that area they might pay for it in taxes, but most places won’t limit access to local taxpayers. There is nothing underhanded happening there. Its provided for a group of people and those people use it within the guidelines setup for them.

Of course it is. I don’t know who you think you’re disagreeing with here.

Im sure you will have as little to say in your next reply but do try to actually make a point.

Interesting considering you had a lot to say without making any point at all. What exactly is the point you’re trying to make here?

Again, you need to actually read things before replying to comments. No one has said they were deceived. Where do you think you are right now?

So you don’t define theft as “someone taking something they didnt pay for or earn” then. Glad we agree.

Do people not literally have the crew on disk? There you go, they own it.

Well let me go back to 2005 and tell young me that I only own a license to WoW so I can say “no shit idiot” and slap my future self. If you were deceived that’s on you.

Which is it? Pick a lane.

Depends if you see theft as someone taking something they didnt pay for or earn

Ah, so children playing in the park is theft. (They didn’t pay for or earn it). Drinking from a creek is theft. Breathing air is theft. I quoted your post, I guess that is theft as well.

does not mean you are entitled to it.

I am not claiming they are entitled to it, I’m just saying it’s not theft.

Maybe read the post before replying to comments:

The company’s lawyers argued in that filing, reviewed by Polygon, that there was no reason for players to believe they were purchasing “unfettered ownership rights in the game.” Ubisoft has made it clear, lawyers claimed, that when you buy a copy of The Crew, you’re merely buying a limited access license.

Does the rental company now have one less car they can rent?

Does the developer now have one less license they can lease?

literally anything that’s not a “pay once license” (including leasing, renting, etc)

You can not steal something that it is impossible to own. It is possible to purchase and own a house or a car, someone choosing to lease or rent instead does not change that. It is impossible to purchase or own a copy of The Crew, so it cannot be stolen. You also cannot steal a hotel room, trespassing is a different crime than theft.

I believe there was also a scene in Sailor Moon where a character was in the bath. In order to make the water opaque the censors decided that red would be the best colour to use, so it looks like she’s bathing in blood.

That should have been foreseen. Why didn’t they just put something on with a G rating?

Yes.

Trump needs that money for his big boy parade.

My take away from the joke is not “do not roommate with a white man, they will steal your stuff”.

My take away from seeing your comments is “just avoid white men at all costs, they are toxic as fuck.”

Oh, so you’re only allowed to target groups other then the snowflake white man?

The UK maintains non-science-based standards

Maybe look at who is in charge of your health department before your start complaining about “non-science-based standards”

“If we stopped testing we wouldn’t have so many positive cases”

This is hardly new.

There is no article or comments in this thread about protests or attempts to halt this adminstration, nor anyone trying to discourage such actions.

Less than a third voted for him, too. Millions are disenfranchised and millions more recognize that there is no correlation between desires and outcomes when it comes to voting.

And these millions that couldn’t even bother to vote expect other countries to come save them?
