    Similar things can be said about the liquor store guy. He’s either a snooty guy who mistakes a sky-high opinion of his own tastes as expertise or he’s people-pleasing salesman who just says “excellent choice” no matter what.

    Also, the liquor store guy doesn’t give two fucks what the stuff does to you in the long term.

    *Edit: Let me rephrase that last part: The main reason the liquor store guy is less critical of your choices than the others is that he doesn’t give a fuck what happens to you.

    It’s also worth mentioning that a gun with silencer is still louder than your typical blender. Silencers are for hearing protection for the shooter, not for stealth. Blenders are not loud enough to require hearing protection.

    (There are some exceptions, some guns with silencers really are quiet enough to be stealthy. But those are some highly specialized and quite weak guns.)

    Could be, could also be that there was some additional malware independently from that shell window.

    A lot of the time with pirated games, this pop up shell is some kind of batch script applying some kind of hack or crack that disables the game’s copy protection and makes it playable. If you want to know for certain, you will have to carefuly analyze the files you downloaded and figure out what exactly they do in detail.

    Personally, I would never run pirated software on the same computer I use for important files or logins.
