  • 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.

  • They don't have to say anything to let you know. Just watch and see the downvotes and maybe sometimes a reply that gives you the signs. That's all you need to know.

  • 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.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    Who from history would you bring back to make them punished for the wrongs that they brought onto the world?

  • Everything felt like they didn't last nearly as long as they could've. You were shuffled a lot during a school day and you had so much crammed in to do within those 8 hours that you're there.

    I never liked school for the courses and all that. I liked school because of who I hung around and some of the memories I got through 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.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What hobby are you slipping out of but don't really know it?

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What do you do to feel like you're part of everyone else and in a way cope with some of the pressures of life around you?

  • Did you not see the score for my original comment? 43 unanswered downvotes. How can you sit there and tell me that there's going to be an open and civil discussion that'll come from with that? I've already had a few people throw the stone with their illogical commentary about what I've pictured with their frail attempts to defend their favorite browser.

    And I got all of that, just from stating the original comment I said prior to the edit. But the 'go to hell' part was not the original comment.

    So before more people jump down my neck about being civil, you ought to know what other people float about that go about antagonizing users or expecting negativity to come their way before they cry out to admins and mods, for something they gaslighted to!

  • 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"

  • Tell the assholes to keep it friendly themselves. I'm talking the fanboys. They who can't handle differing opinions have no place in open discussion on any platform. Period.

  • 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!

  • This makes about as much sense as when Facebook tried prioritizing Oculus to be a way to browse the internet.

    ...There's just no point in it.

    But whatever I guess, some ideas have to be realized first before it reaches "well that was a dumb fuck of an idea" phase.

  • Nope. There is no civility with fanboys.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What highly recommended games have you played but found them overhyped or not as good as you were lead to believe?

  • I think it's a fair comparison. You're just moving the field goals, is all.

  • Mildly Infuriating @lemmy.world

    Can anyone guess what I'm trying to do?
