Just because youtube reviewers say it is good, doesn’t always mean that it is.

Ho boy, these are going to be a long…agonizing…tedious 3.3 years.

No.

Because history remembers people or groups who have made astounding and monumental moments that change the course of history.

They aren’t going to remember a dude who spent most of their time jerking off and doing the average lifestyle.

And why 600 years?

No, I disagree.

The last beacon of hope is what will come out of the Luigi case. The conservatives are already on the march over Kirk. What will come of Luigi, whether they kill him too or imprison for life, will determine how the public will react.

The Republican Party has made it abundantly known how little they give a shit about children. They weaponize them when they want laws passed, but immediately discard them when said laws do pass. They weaponize them again when they want to make a point about how much they care about the sanctity and sacredness of american values, but stop caring about them again when children get shot up in schools.

So, the whole Epstein bullshit is nothing.

If the impeachments, being convicted and the countless number of things this trash has been tied to has not swayed the voterbase by now. Nothing will.

All that this will be treated as, as just another talking point for conspiracy theorists to babble about for years, like they have already done so for a while now.

Little bit of a pointer but you can edit your post and title.

Anyways, digressing there. But, I am always willing to hear some alternative takes from different people with different perspectives. The dealbreaker is in the approach. If you cannot come into a discussion, a conversation, a debate or anything without feeling the need to put down someone to prove a point or be self-righteous? You can go fuck yourself and be placed in the blocked bin.

And even so, there is only so much irrational and wild things people do and say that just upsets the vibe with someone or groups to where, blocking can be seen as a way to filter that out.

I value my time, patience and sanity. There had been too many instances where I’ve poured way too much investment into things or people that just were not worth a single minute. The moment I feel someone gives me a snarky remark, wants to be a prick, wants to gaslight and whatever petty and bitter levels of engagement they want to bother me with. Fuck them, they’ll be blocked.

It does not make you weak or petty, that’s just them making up bullshit to excuse themselves when they knowingly were the problem.

Now in some cases it can be a little stupid to block people, like knowing you’re the one starting shit or deciding to get into debates you aren’t fitted to handle. Why would you do that to yourself? If you can’t handle it, don’t do anything. Lesson learned.

Damn if there was a function in real life where I can block someone and their existence disappears where other people can see them and I can’t? Fuck, dude, sign me up.

That friend needs to be more specific, they didn’t even give you resolution or screen size preferences? What kind of friend does that?

Oh yes. In the early days of pirating, it was illegal to possess MP3s of music you didn’t ‘own’ copies of.

There used to also have been and still is, legal fighting about the legality of having copies of games no longer in circulation. We have been seeing it now where Nintendo aims at people hosting file copies of some of their IPs.

They’re always going to be illegal to have laying around your computer, regardless of your stance. Unless you buy said MP3s from something like Apple’s store or Amazon.

In a way, I don’t see the point. Like, for example, what would my money do for someone like Metallica? Who’ve made millions for years doing what they do. I’ve pirated their music long ago and I don’t feel guilty because I know they’re a band who has signed contracts that were worth lots of money. Besides concerts, what would I be doing?

That’s pretty much where I would draw the line with these things. If bands and artists have signed with a label, majority of the time, you don’t need to do anything, they’re already making it, that’s what they wanted to do and they did it.

It is better to support those who hadn’t.

Because, you’d find this hard to believe, that there are people who want to enjoy a hobby without feeling like selling out. Like there are actual artists who even see signing a contract with a record label as selling out. Because that would mean selling their soul, which countless of artists and bands have done over the years if it mean success and reach. But look at where that got them, might’ve got them fame and money, but it doesn’t attract artists who don’t care.

These artists wouldn’t mind working real jobs while doing what they enjoy. And they don’t mind using services like this. Some artists in the past, even saw pirating as a way of getting out and being known by people, it’s happened before.

Even with legal alternatives like Spotify, the artists still get pennies while the CEO and Joe Rogan rake in millions.

I completely understood why Maynard James Keenan and Tool was hesitant for a while about putting up their discography on there.

The whole point of this lawsuit was to try and torpedo the Internet Archive. Would’ve been nice to know the explicit results from whatever settlement was reached. Was it for IA to just remove and ban the account that uploaded the works? I’ve no idea.

Either way, just the music labels making up numbers as usual to make the battle look unwinnable. Fucking pricks.

This is what happens when his little sitcom has been out of syndication for nearly three decades. Starts going crazy.

So, imagine your machine is one of those Dell Optiplex contraptions of the 2000s and even early 2010s.

Those machines sucked for the reason that, their components were tightly compacted, very little wiggle room to do anything in, upgrading anything was next to impossible because everything had to be low-profile to even fit into the case, everything was a dust/heat nightmare waiting to happen.

Just so many vulnerabilities in those machines are exactly what you could be facing if you go this route.

Judging by how they want Jim Crow-era laws back, we can assume they want the 1870 ~ 1959 period back.

But honestly, they are fascists. They want do what the Nazis did except more Amercianized. Sure we won’t have dedicated labor camps or extermination camps in our country. But, we’ll happily blitz through laws to be passed that’ll make it harder and harder for LGBTQ people to have rights. Don’t like middle-class? No problem! We’ll just orchestrate a system with our trusty friend, Capitalism, that’ll make it harder for things to be affordable for them.

Laws? What laws? lol, only for those who can’t afford to break them. Rules and Accountability? Lol, what’s that? That’s only for those people who’re tied to this silly concept called morals and karma.

That’s America for you.

No, never was. I’m glad I’m not.

And to hit it home how unpopular I was, when I got my senior yearbook, I was in a particular section of the book where they seemingly put the undesired students in. Like, every senior got pages where they got nice pictures, they got a quote and some bio of them. Where I was at, there was none of that, just a couple pages of pictures of students they don’t care for, even though we all got the same piece of paper that asked us what we’d like to say. Didn’t matter.

Funny how none of the people who ran that yearbook staff, went on to do bigger and greater things. I haven’t heard of or read their names doing anything significant. Just goes to show people just have a lot of ego in schools.

Spotify is dogshit. The amount they limit you on a free account is abysmal and should be illegal. 6 skips a day, shuffle is ass, 2 - 4 ads per song, they lie about you having 30 minutes a break from ads because I experienced having 3 uninterrupted songs, then about 2 ads in between then a few more songs and that all doesn’t total to 30 minutes.

Why do people like this shit? They willingly pay Joe Rogan far more than he’s actually worth (he’s a glorified talking-head who appeals to a certain demographic) while kicking away numerous staff that bother try retaining this shit app. Crashes and drains your phone’s battery in minutes.

I wouldn’t say broken for months, it’s been broken.

Where I was going with that is if you’re going to bother investing in an argument you know is a waste of time with these kinds of people, it is kind of shameful. That is basing what you already know to be factual. Double-checking isn’t wrong either but again, doesn’t apply to people who’re not open-minded.
