14 years ago when I was thrifting, I used to get excited about movies I’d find, season sets I’d find, a couple toy figures, maybe some games or hey, there’s something I could use. Fucking awesome!
14 years later, I’ve been waiting until a thrift store at least puts up an office chair I’d like to have that’s better than what I got and if the appliances I get are going to be useful.
I’d assassinate Robert Owen. He’s the man that proposed the 8-hour a day labor idea that we’re all enslaved to, today. If you got rid of him, Henry Ford wouldn’t make the 9-5 bullshit.
I’d also assassinate Abraham from going to Egypt. My details are vague but I think if you prevented that from happening, Christianity wouldn’t ever have much of an iron grip in regards to influence that it has today.
Prevent the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. I think we need someone like him more than ever today.
I noticed this happening recently as last night. I was wondering what the fuck was going on. 30 minutes my ass, for example, I listened to Alice in Chains’ Them Bones which is a 2 minute song, after the “promise” of 30 minutes ad-free and I got ad after fucking ad. Then I get a song, then it’s ad after fucking ad. I’ll be lucky I get 2 more songs before it’s more ads.
I’m actually going to be looking into a media player that has bluetooth in it so I don’t have to ever put up with this spotify shit.
People remember Service Pack 2 as the definitive version. Base and Service Pack 1 XP was awful.
Service Pack 3 refined it a bit better.
I can’t ever look or taste a little caesar’s pizza the same way again. The last time I had one was back in 2018 and they tasted so dry and you get maybe three seconds of pizza before it is all just dryness mushing together. Definitely was better as a kid.
1990s internet. Yeah it had to start somewhere and a lot of them were butt-ugly for design. Now 2000s internet up until roughly 2009, that’s the shit.
No I don’t. It’s just a dumb internet toy and I’m glad Lemmy and the Fediverse treats it like that. It used to annoy the fuck out of me with Reddit, where they tie your account to it. Too low or negative? Good luck posting anywhere or tripping the spam filter bot that thinks you’re an evader so you get banned over it.
People have this idea in their heads that the higher their karma is, the more righteous they are and that they can’t think or say wrong. When, based on experience, a lot of the time that people with high karma counts happen to be from the most insufferable bastard human beings I ever come across.
It kind of does matter. If you’re hot-swapping in and out nearly all of the time for this and that, that is considered suspicious activity. If you knew a single thing about how networking works, they can see just about anything. Where you went, the unencrypted data that is sent and received and vice versa. They may not know exactly the file you downloaded or the page specifically you’re at, but they can put two and two together if they think your activity lines up with the data it is coming from and to.
And once again, I have said, if you read at all, downloading gigs and gigs in a single day. You’re bringing up streaming which is something they’d know and expect by now, so of course it’s not going to bring attention. They also are aware that VPNs are advertised so much that they probably expect you to hop around to stream something you can’t normally.
They’re not going to directly ask you why you’re using a VPN, they’re more than likely going to ask you why are you using so much data up on X date and Y date? And then they could ask you what purpose did you have visiting this site at those dates too.
My point is about the amount of consumption you put into downloading many files, they don’t give a damn about your streaming habits since they know very well we’ve been in the age of streaming for a while now.
Kinda wish you’d be a little more detailed here.
So while everyone is telling you what to use. Let me tell you about how to behave as a pirate, least suggestively, not strictly. You need to not be a blip on the radar. Well how’s that? You don’t download gigs and gigs of data in a single day, you have to be a little more spread than that. Because even if you’re safe under VPN and everything, if an ISP thinks you’re being suspicious at any degree, they’re gonna look into it.
I make sure I don’t download more than I can chew and since I’m on a data cap of 350GB a month, it helps me enforce this. I’ve been at it for well over 25+ years so by this point, I’ve about acquired a lot of what I wanted so I’m in a little of my winding down period.
Try not to listen to the pirates that just boast about themselves and their habits, they’re doing things you don’t know about and are probably above your skill since obviously you claim to be very new at this.
Hey, blame the ones who’re louder about it, I didn’t fetishize them. Go talk to the furries first.
Femboys don’t even need the right-wingers’ help at all. They fetishize themselves and it is in of itself a fetish. I would know given by the amount of furry porn that encircles around femboys in general. And unfortunately, they are some of the loudest and pretend all femboys want to just be cock-slaves and cock-sleeves.
Dude, get the hell out of here. Stop turning everything political.
I stopped using Firefox for four core reasons:
Their investment into AI How they submit and work with their Google overlords to some degree Their browser putting in more and more unnecessary and unasked features (like Firefox account for one) Their Terms of Service
@OP - These are the people I’m talking about.
Thanks for being a demonstrating example.
