I really had no idea it was still around, or at least heavily in use.

Swappa is pretty damn handy. I’ve bought and sold several phones on there. Etsy has some really cool stuff, but some of the sellers on there are absolutely delusional. I’ve never checked out Poshmark. I’ll have to check it out some time.

I’m curious - what is the shirt? I’ve got a really cool vintage one with the big yellow ‘M’ and Japanese characters under it that I picked up second-hand almost twenty years ago now. It sadly no longer fits because uhh it totally shrank and I didn’t just gain a little weight.

People still use eBay?

These guys are fine, but a lot of their fans are the worst. They can’t make their own judgement of a movie. I know several people that will go see a movie with me, then say they can’t talk about it and don’t know how they felt about it. Then, when RLM releases their review, they suddenly have all of the exact same opinions and talking points. Looking at you, Brian, in case you wondered why I don’t go to movies with you or talk to you about them anymore.

Film snobs with no opinions of their own.

Who the hell mentioned reality TV whatsoever? Do you really think that’s all that’s on television? Brother, we’re in the golden age of scripted dramas and have been for 15 years. You seem very obtuse and to be debating in bad faith.

This was a joke looooong before TikTok even existed. It’s a Das Racist song from back in the day.

Do you have an old computer laying around? Convert it into a server and throw unRAID on that bitch. No sense in buying a seed box if you’ve got spare hardware laying around. I can send you more in-depth guides if you’d like.

I know a guy that knows a guy that knows another guy. He invited me to my indexers.

Will pay 4.5x standard game prices for vaporware and patiently wait a decade for the game to somewhat resemble being playable

Doesn’t have the time or money for movies and TV

Bro you can just say you don’t like movies and TV and accept that you’re the minority here instead of claiming there’s nothing good anymore lmao

Yeah but this disposable item in general seemed to be custom made for that purpose lmao

I play Star Citizen for entertainment mostly now

The irony of you complaining about streaming prices lmao

We’re going back to piracy.

I’m already there.

People can talk about piracy all they want here it seems. It’s when folks start giving very direct advice about how and where to do stuff that things turn into a legal grey area for websites. It also helps to not blow up a great source by sharing it all over the internet for the feds and ignorant people to easily find.

I’ve been on the internet for a long time. Back in my day, we just referred to the where as “the usual places.” Seems that’s not the norm anymore.

Exactly!

Ask them politely to lower it. If they don’t, you have two options:

A. Leave your seat to go find a security guard, missing part of the show in the process and potentially having this person fuck with you for the rest of the show in retaliation.

B. Rip that shit straight out of their hands and toss it to the lower arena. They’ll have no idea who did it because their view was blocked by their umbrella. Don’t have to miss a second of the show.

Do you watch movies, or are those also a waste of time in your opinion?

Eh that threw me off when it was new but it’s been a thing for about a decade at this point. My work is all-in on Azure and this has never confused any users as far as I’ve seen, and we’ve got some incredibly ignorant users. Everyone just hits “browse” from that screen and you’re back to the old school save screen.

Right? Seems like Linux fanboy propaganda. If you don’t know where your file saves to, you’re probably incompetent and shouldn’t be near a computer. Even the most incompetent of users in my 15 year IT career know how to save something and where it’s saving to.

Some of the greatest television ever made is coming out these days. Fuck that. Just build a piracy machine. Yar.

That’s awesome, and amazing if it can be replicated! Thanks for the summary - that was perfect!

ELI5 for those of us without quantum physics degrees?
