I’ll give you the worse ones, primarily to ward you off from them.
AskReddit - Sometimes you’ll get some thought-provoking questions. But a lot of the time, you’ll find heaps of over redundant questions, all spread by just minutes to hours apart. A lot of questions I’ve noticed recently, are people so quick to karma farm that they’ll misspell their questions and just go for low-hanging fruit kinds. And then there’ll be questions that are sex-driven, ragebaiting and softly bordering around racism/sexism.
r/TooAfraidToAsk - Another cesspool of questions where people ask WAY too many sex-based ones and stupid plain questions that a simple 5 minute google search would take to answer. People love asking troll bait questions there.
Quora - It can’t stop nagging you to give them your info if you try reading answers on any question. It’s like AskReddit but 24/7 and the quality is a little above. But more or less, you’ll find yourself in the same jam.
Well, as I’ve said, he made that idea up in a time where it made sense and did well for it’s time. But it started to not be a feasible system every turn of the decade and by the time we’ve reached the 2000s, the idea simply isn’t cutting it anymore. Moreso in today’s time.
A lot of ideas that were made in the early 1900s through the 50s came about in a time where it made sense and did well, least for a while. But many variables since then just diminished it’s use. People aren’t making as much in 40 hours than they should and they aren’t making ends meet in those 5 days. People are expected now to have two jobs, more hours and no time for themselves or anyone around them.
Best - Reeses
Worst - Licorice/Twizzlers
It took me 8 full months, of tolerating a tenant’s loud vibrating music before I started calling police. Like, I don’t mind the kind of music where you can faintly hear it because it can be ignored. No, this fucker’s entitlement had the audacity to blare his shit so that not only can you hear it completely but also feel it. It was an absolute violation of the lease agreement to not have sound systems, yet here’s this fucker.
I call the police on him and they told him to cut it out. I go to my sliding door by the balcony and saw like several people pour out from there. All complaining about how they had to be told to keep the peace because again, entitled assholes be entitled assholes.
Since then, though, I’ve had to call the police on him again because he would sometimes think he’s crafty by doing that shit during days where management is closed. Like, dude, fuck you and your music.
We’ve lost some big ones this year alone, hadn’t we? I recall the early half of the year, that we lost some huge names or names that just shut down. Uloz flipped, still around but not what it once was. There was a lot of big names just gone all in this year alone.
But I see all of this as multi-pronged.
Aside from what everyone else has said. I will add that there could be people slipping into pirate ranks as a shill for these corps, gathering all that they can, slipping out to report.
There also could be loud-mouthed pirates, ruining it for everyone because they’re loud-mouths, gotta spread the shit all the way around. That gets the attention of the corps that just hover over and count the days at that point.
Yeah I mean, that will be really pulling the veil away from people’s eyes right?
So say that piracy is exterminated in a theoretical scenario, subscription prices now cost $20 - $25 per service just for standard. Tickets cost $19 per person. Rentals will cost $7. Copies still sold in retail stores and online hover $20 ~ $30.
Now, piracy is gone, we have all of these increased expenses. Who do they honestly expect are going to still want to be paying that much?
People will see all along that this is just simply an optional luxury to have, they can’t have it, they stop paying and take their money somewhere else.
And does anyone think the executives and MAFIAA will finally admit that they’ve been in the wrong all this time?
No, they’ll just suck eachother’s dicks while proclaiming that piracy still needed to go away.
Probably not even getting paid nearly as much except given a pizza under the door and a pat on the shoulder as some shitbag exec says sweet nothings into their ear. “Good job son, you’re doing the work for freedom, freedom from piracy”
I don’t torrent. I’ve got no patience for it and the climate to which to torrent in, isn’t nearly as rich as it once was in the 2000s. So it’s not worth my time.
Fuck…
I was planning to finish a series on AnimeSuge and AnimeSuge is now gone. I’m not going to fucking subscribe to Crunchyroll because, they don’t have anime classics like Tenchi Universe or Tenchi in Tokyo. AnimeSuge did. They had everything Tenchi in one place whereas you have to subscribe to both Funimation and Cruncyroll to even get a third of the series available.
And watching the original 1997 Berserk series straight through was on AnimeSuge. None of the legal options fucking have it and everyone is selling the series on EBay and Amazon for triple the price.
This is fucking bullshit!
It’s because of shit like this, I’ve had a document containing all passwords and accounts stashed away.
I’m going to copy and paste, fuck anyone thinking I’m going to manually enter their shit.
Can vouch, it’s the same for all three of the Samsung phones I have.
There’s nothing wrong either with pumping the brakes of a subscription, which I’m seeing and hearing people do now including myself. I just need a good reason to subscribe to say like, Netflix, to get me to watch what I want to watch or catch up on then decide to unsubscribe.
I sincerely hope they don’t penalize people in the future for doing this, but I expect at somepoint that they will so mind as well enjoy that while we’re able.
Wow, talk about someone who didn’t really read the article.
It’s been stated that they made a department that specifically assesses homeless people and help get them to services that they need.
I might sound a little in the minority of this.
Everyone should sit down and ask themselves - ‘Do I Really Need This?’
I can only speak on my behalf. I have over, roughly estimating, 1,500 games both purchased and pirated. Do I really need a subscription such as GamePass right now when I have so much already? No, I really don’t.
I’ve pirated thousands of songs over the years, do I really need Spotify’s subscription? No, I do not and I’m glad that I don’t.
So on and so forth. I decide what I need or want based on the current lifestyle and quality of life in my current state. I do not need over 40 subscriptions sapping me every month and it’s only gotten easier because I combat FOMO, I evaluate what else is out there that serves as an alternative that isn’t subscription based.
These days when I look at people paying a subscription model for Microsoft Office, I shake my head and have that kind of chuckle that makes you feel sorry over someone doing that. Because really, I still use older versions of Microsoft Office and LibreOffice to handle whatever modern features that there is to handle. Not a lot has really changed to warrant subscribing to such a model.
A lot of subscription models can be pressy to people who aren’t knowledgeable unless they take advantage of what’s out there.
And the only way to avoid them at all is to de-centralize and make things invite-only.

Anime - People don’t like you when you’re into the popular ones.
Video Games - It’s everywhere here. If you’re into AAA games, you’ll never hear the end of it. If you’re into Indie games, then you have to be into games like Hollow Knight, Undertale .etc or you just don’t know indie.
Metal Music - Fucking hell, you’re always going to be snubbed and looked down upon because you’re not into Death or Black Metal. Doesn’t matter if you’re into Iron Maiden or X Nu Metal band here, but you’re just not metal until you listen to anything Black/Death. Maybe I don’t want to listen to Cookie Monster and Friends.
I feel this with Terraria. Yeah the updates are free and they try many ways to freshen the game up. But, I’m almost begging for the game to land itself in a comfortable level of finishing itself and just polish it off. It is a radically different game when I try it than when I first did back in 2015.
I can see why even Reddit wouldn’t want this posted over there.
So, okay, you’ve made up a scenario but it has nothing to do with the question you’re asking. Why couldn’t you have just asked the question and not beat around the bush before doing so?
Hitler is the kind of person you’d revive, kill again and revive to kill again until he hits the number of holocaust victims. No one single solitary death is sufficient enough.
That goes for any other leader that has allowed their citizens to die or even allowed their soldiers to die recklessly.
