You can just do CTRL+R (in bash at least)
I never remember this when it'd actually be useful

Called someone in the next room to bring me something.
Adhd?
yo pass me some adhd
I don't wash dishes I use paper plates and forks.
We can't get a dishwasher. The pipes to the house are too messed up. The sink was designed for someone way taller than me so I have to lean forward and get soaked on the cabinet that tilts forwards towards me instead of back towards the sink.
I put clothes on hangers and hung them in the doorway between the kitchen and the rest of the house to take with me when I eventually head in that direction. I left the clothes there for over a week while I had to twist to get around them, and only took them to my room to put away when I did laundry the next week...and ran out of space to hang the clean shirts.
I have remoted in to my desktop from my laptop or vice versa many times to close a video that either I left playing or the cats have unpaused by walking on the keyboard
I once threw away sink full of dirty dishes rather than hand wash them. They had been there for like two weeks and were really nasty. I think that was at the height of my depression.

I dunno if laziest but my landlord certainly thought so. I had bedbugs and there's so much crap you have to do prep for the extermination like remove all your clothes and wash them three times on hot, flip through all your books to check for them, the list was ridiculous. I'm way too lazy for that so I paid the extra $600 out of pocket for the "good" treatment where they just super heat your entire home to kill them and all you have to do is remove things that might melt or explode.
Thankfully the exterminators found the illegal fireworks I had hidden and forgotten about, removed them, and didn't say anything to the landlord.
The heat treatment was the only thing that worked when I had to deal with those little fuckers. I'm sorry you had to deal with them, but I'm glad they're gone now. Those things aren't just physically irritating, they fuck with your head.
Last part of last sentence absolutely. Reminded me of when I moved to sleeping on the couch while waiting for the extermination day. While doing couch life I read that bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide so breathing will pull them toward you anyway. There is no escape.
I made an script in Python to batch rename like 10 images in a folder.
What's the point of automation if not to save seconds by wasting hours?
This immediately came to mind
I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.
I pirated a game I legit bought. This was way back in the days when some games had this annoying copy protection where you had to look up words from the manual before you could play. Enter the 3rd word on line 7 of page 28. This sort of thing.
It got old really fast, so I disassembled the binary and saw where it was calling on a random number generator to select the page. I changed just 1 assembly instruction so that the generator would always return 0. Then it said look up so-and-so and the word turned out to be "time". After that, all I had to do was enter "time" at launch and I tossed out the manual.
I pirated a game I legit bought.
I would argue that this is not possible.
It definitely is, and I've done it several times.
One example is Minecraft, which I legit bought but no longer legitimately own, because when Microsoft took over they forced people to make Microsoft accounts and no longer allow Mojang accounts to be used to authenticate. Because I didn't make a Microsoft account, I no longer own the game, so now I play a pirated copy because I can no longer legitimately play it.
Another example is some games made by studios that went bust and there's no longer any legit distributor of the game, so the only copy you can download is a pirated copy.
It's still piracy if it circumvents the intended method of distribution and validation that you own a licence.
Piracy cannot happen if it's fair use. And this is fair use (I'm referring to downloading a game you already own, not the thing about dead studios).
Piracy is the intention/result, not the method. If you bought a video game, you own it and are allowed to own a backup of it. How you get that backup is irrelevant
In the first example, it is not fair use, because you don't buy digital copies of games—you buy a licence to play the game. My Minecraft licence would have been revoked when I didn't create a Microsoft account. Game companies can impose whatever conditions on a game licence they like (so long as the condition is not otherwise illegal).
And you have case law to back this up?
Case law is specific to jurisdiction. I don't know where you live, and I've not said where I live. The way buying and selling most digital copies of games is through buying and selling licences, though some software you do pay for the download itself rather than paying for a licence. That doesn't require case law; that's literally just what it is, like how if I sign a contract I don't need case law to demonstrate that what I've signed is a contract, it just is. Case law adjudicates matters of law which are in dispute, not figuring out whether a spade is a spade.
Yeah just because you say "this is not in dispute," doesn't make it true. The reason there appears to be no dispute is because video game companies haven't brought a suit against anyone for this specific thing. Until then, it's nebulous and completely up for debate.
Video game manufacturers have lost several emulation suits in the past, and I would not be one bit surprised if that's the reason why they never tried to go after this in courts.
Bleem! successfully won their countersuit against Sony because of fair use.
It doesn't hurt that there is this precedent regarding VHS:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios%2C_Inc.
Until Nintendo or Sony, etc actually tries to sue someone for doing it, then it's up for dispute.
What I'm saying is not in dispute is the fact that you buy licences to play games and that licences can be revoked. Both of those are objective fact. It's a separate question as to whether or not a given state wants to enact punishment against a former licence holder.
I SSHed my laptop to turn it off, even though my laptop is not that far away from my bed
I got on Fediverse bc I was too lazy to consume what the algorithm fed me
