Warthog is a ground support aircraft. Flies low altitude and provides cover fire for infantry, at least that's its traditional role. Why was it deployed to Hormuz? Are they planning a ground invasion?
Why won't you fix those internal websites? I wouldn't think it is that hard? It is just html and css isn't it?
This is not scary at all. You must trust any code that you execute on your computer. Pirated games, if they were malicious, can already get whatever they want done on your computer, because you are giving it arbitrary code execution privileges. Fortunately there is a vast network of p2p and scene crackers that are trustworthy, who you can trust (even more so than some publishers) to respect your user rights.
The level of access hardly matters. If you were a malware developer masquerading as a legitimate cracker, there are many privilege escalation tricks you can use once you have any amount of access to a machine. And even if you didn't, the lowest level of access is typically enough to do financial crimes (stealing browser cookies to access your bank account, or ransoming your documents folder).
Piracy gives you a better user experience than paying for games. Take steam - you have to run a proprietary application to launch your games, which can take these games away at any time, can modify your games to remove copyrighted music, leave them in unplayable states etc. Not to mention the performance impact from DRM, and the constant badgering about accounts/updates/logins/restrictions.
With piracy, everything is seamless. Go to your trusty repacker, click download, click install, and now you have a game that you cna enjoy for the rest of your life.
There is no universal law that makes it so that DRM will always be broken. In many cases they are, but in many other cases they aren't. At the end of the day, they could offload so much of the processing to remote servers that you would basically be playing a cloud game, and that would be the end of bypassing and removal of DRM because they would control the hardware.

And that isn't necessarily bad for America. Oil companies are going to make tonnes of money. Only the working class that has been forced to rely on cars will suffer from higher oil prices. So long as the money isn't hurt, America isn't hurt. Who cares about the pesky peasants?
The US keeps shooting itself in the foot. Every shot is higher up than the next.
Iran blocking the strait won't have any major consequences for America in the long term though. For one, Iran is letting oil through to other countries, meaning oil prices aren't as high as they could be. The US also has its own supply of oil. The cucks of the empire though, well they have been properly cucked and I couldn't be happier
Russia attached a European country
Mf Russia is a European country. You ask if you can trust Russia and yet most countries in the world wouldn't trust EU and NATO for shit.
She should be executed on sight. Killed in cold blood. Animals like this shouldn't be allowed to live.
You probably also heard on the news that there was a "fire" on an aircraft carrier deployed to Hormuz caused by the laundry detergent. And they had to pull back because of the fire.
At the same time there was a simultaneous incident on the deck as well where a member of the crew slipped and fell and created a large crater.
It just happened to be a very unfortunate circumstance that they were close to Iran when these things simultaneously happened all of a sudden, together at the same time.
