It’s because paying isn’t the issue. I’m not rejecting streaming on the basis of price (though, the current price of paying for even a couple at once doesn’t help), I’m rejecting it on the basis of it being a fractured, inconsistent and lacking service that fundamentally acts against the interest of its users. If a streaming service offered the same things stremio+debrid does I’d happily pay 10x the price.

People used to pay others for burnt DVDs and CDs back in the day if they didn’t have a pc with a burner themselves. Same thing really.

100% agree. I no joke own about 900 games I haven’t played between steam (most bought when I was young and naive, probably bought like 10 games in the last 10 years now I know better), epic free games, and playstation plus monthly “free” games (not even counting the catalogue you now get access to), yes they’re technically not entirely free but I’d be paying for plus regardless so they kinda are.

Now as a lot of these games weren’t chosen by me, by no means do I want to play them all, and some are duplicates across platforms. But if even 10% interest me, that’s still 90 games. I probably play games at a rate slower than 1 per month. That’s years of games to me. And more will be stacking up in that time. I haven’t bought a game in like 3 years and it’s entirely possible I’ll never buy a game again at this rate.

Imagine preordering a game in 2025.

That prison is literally hell on earth. Imagine being sent there for no reason. Likely for the rest of your life. It’s beyond fucked up.

I’m sure this is probably useful and makes sense in some way, but it’s really giving me rest of the fucking owl energy. I just can’t follow it clearly after like step 9 or so.

It can only be solved by telling the government of Israel to go fuck itself.

I wrote them a strongly worded email. Is it solved now?

I get the general point you’re making. But you’re not even recommending the money be spent on something else that will help. We can do both things. If you are going to donate money because you have spare and want to help, and then don’t on the basis you’re choosing who starves, you’re still just making an additional family starve.

I dunno. I haven’t thought too much about this. Convince me why it’s not better to try to enact change and donate money at the same time.

No it’s like Netflix for torrents /real Debrid and really very simple to set up.

Download stremio.

Optionally pay for a Debrid service such as real Debrid (this will basically give you a smoother experience for a couple dollars a month)

Search torrentio

Choose the options (very self explanatory) and install the addon.

You’re literally done. Start playing any show/movie you like. It’ll work.

It’s believed to be true to a high degree.

Pi is infinite. It’s also believed with a high degree of certainty (but not proven) to be a normal number, which basically means all the digits are evenly distributed over the infinite series. So if that is true, there would be an infinite number of 0s. Theoretically it could suddenly turn out to not be normal after a certain amount of digits are found, and then 0 could just stop entirely after a certain point, but this is incredibly unlikely.

I’ll just keep buying second hand cars. My current car is 20 years old, bought it when it was 10 years old and it’s still going. Put away $20 a week or whatever you would have been paying on the loan and you’ll always have a fund to get something. Treat it like a loan too, you can’t pull money out of the loan you’ve been paying, so don’t touch this money either unless for the most dire of emergencies.

Damn sorry about that. Hope it works out for you.

I just double checked my emails, and I forgot I did have to pay $7 AUD (like 4.50 USD) to upgrade it, which annoyed me a little at the time but was cheap enough I decided to swallow it.

That’s strange, 4k allowed me to upgrade my lifetime sub key to a new key for the new program.

Do you think this is the last 6 presidents?

They did, but somehow they’re managing to start making a comeback with their drive through stores. People that want super convenience will put up with a worse coffee for it.

Baseball, huh?

Reality is everyone has an email, and everyone will keep having an email. My 10 year old has an email so they could sign up to epic and steam. You basically need it to use the internet at all. So of course it will survive.

Outside of business though, when was the last time you sent an email to someone you know?

Man that’s such a strawman, you’re completely misrepresenting why they bring up fallacies.

Ehh I’m on the fence about this. It’s possible to be doing something you maybe technically shouldn’t be, like having one hand on the wheel for a moment, and also get in an accident that is 0% your fault. But if the other side gets that footage, you could be found partially at fault, and some states have the law set up that if you’re found even 1% at fault you’ll get nothing.

Yes you should be following all laws at all times. Yes this may be leaning towards unethical. But we’re human. It’s not easy to be literally camera perfect 24/7. If you’re doing something super obviously wrong driving wise the normal cameras would be enough to see that.

Just something to think about.

Don’t know if it’ll be much help but on my app (thunder) you go to the instance, press the little (i) and then block community. It will probably be something similar on most apps.

Yes but not widely, and the point is, most people don’t even know awful had a different definition. Argue all you want but the fact there’s any controversy over literally shows we’re living through the main transition of it having one main definition to two.
