Sure, the whole "spy" thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but remember, this is a movie for KIDS.

Sure, it should be for the kids. Then if it was more focused on kids, it shouldn't have a plot be so contrived and convoluted and its twists make so little sense that even adults are completely baffled at it. But the "it's for kids excuse" doesn't hold up especially well when the very same company historically outputs smart movies made for children with adult acclaim.

It honestly baffles me how iOS devices are still missing what I consider to be basic OS features coming from my years of using Android devices.

It's because Apple exerts a lot of control over what you can do to your device. Sure it *looks* and feels nice and slick but once you get a bit too attached, you start slamming your face against Apple's proprietary cage.

I'm no Android fan because, well, it's Google owned and Google is a multi-billion-dollar corporation as far as I'm concerned. But Apple's products are far worse and has an obnoxious fanbase that haven't ever really refuted any of the problems associated with the overpriced iOS devices.

Even if they do implement browser addons, it'll probably just be proprietary locked so your options are limited.

I was under impression that at least in this forum people in general don't listen to much beyond soundtrack and maybe a few tidbits of classic rock? You can prove me wrong. But imo my experience with that makeup tend to be pretty scathing of modern music. Again though I listen to a lot of metal, and I'm aware metalheads are pretty infamous for disparaging modern music along with anything else that isn't quite metal (like nu metal).

By the way, rap and hiphop are fine genres. I think they have a seedy underbelly (especially with objectifying / disparaging women) at points but the musical output (especially from the 90s), well, I can't argue against that. I also am aware that rock and metal demographics (and who's performing the music) need more of a boost for diversity (also more women instrument players as opposed to just singers) too.

Why is it morally okay?

well i think that for example downloading the rom of a game you already have isn't wrong even if it's technically piracy
 
Piracy just isn't something we can really talk about extensively, but I will say it's completely justified in select cases. Particularly, I see little moral justification for opposing pirating textbooks (whose prices have ballooned out of control on top of spiraling tuition costs) or publicly-funded research papers (which a few very rich publishers control and profit off exorbitant prices, literally tens of thousands for a subscription, to the point Harvard complains about it) or otherwise trying to access a product that's extremely difficult to access i.e. the South American citizen that has to drop $120 for a video game or $600 for an old console.

There are thinkpieces that say piracy isn't the solution for these problems. Sure, it's illegal, and students risk being persecuted by law, but all those proposals on "open textbooks" or just a call for more reasonable prices are just empty, naive talk against giant corporations that'll employ all lobbyists and intellectual property lawsuits they can to sue that concept to the ground (an online emergency library was established to provide for the public during the pandemic; guess how publishers reacted). Those policies take time, effort, and money to implement, especially considering what opponents of those policies really are.

I will also say in terms of "stealing" from multinational corps, we really shouldn't be beginning to put them on the same moral dimension as ours.

I don't want to discuss a lot more about this subject as I feel it's the inappropriate thread for it, but that's my two cents on this entire thing.
 
I figure it's an unpopular opinion to not like licorice. I dislike all kinds of licorice.

i can only think of 2 people other than me who i've met in my entire life who have expressed to me that they like black licorice
i found a couple statistics online stating that 47% of people, 8-12% of people, or 21% of people like black licorice, none of these numbers seem particularly verifiable and two of them seem to have explicitly come from very small sample sizes but they all agree that people who like black licorice are in the minority, potentially by quite a bit. there are also countless articles and pages talking about the phenomanon of people disliking black licorice and here just a couple that <
