It’s not permanent. At least it wasn’t for me.

Ripping youtube or ytm will cause them to ratelimit your ip and/or account (media not available error).

For me, access was restored after 48h.

It was really inconvenient, so I found other ways. A mix of buying whats available on bandcamp, and ripping qobuz using a trial account (which btw is so much faster, ytm was taking days to rip just a couple artists).

I use Symfonium with Jellyfin for music now, if you tag everything with Picard, the “smart” playlist capabilities are competent.

Still pop into ytm to discover new stuff, tho.

That’d be like paying for internet service being used to screw you.

A usenet account is not in itself proof of anything.

Those get taken down on a regular basis. Not to mention the atrocious bitrates that is all they can manage.

Meanwhile, a high quality BluRay rip on my drive ain’t going anywhere.

You can’t seed properly.

“Why store anything? Just re-download it from someone who’s still storing it!”

You see the catch 22 here?

I have to go to the special asian supermarkets that do their own importing to find it. The asian section at a generic grocer is just a bunch of Mama and Nissin. If you’re lucky there’s some Ajinomoto.

Fuck. Now I need to go out and buy some.

Hard to get here, but had it a couple times and it ruined other instant noodles for me.

Asking or being asked in a way that is menacing, because some couples find that hot as hell, is not mutually exclusive with “no” still being one of the options.

Also private equity.

I’ve yet to need one. I dread the day, tbh.

Or you could just read the one book eight times for 99.6℅. Why buy more than one when one is enough to read as many times as you like?

SMH, that’s not how books work. What a complete waste of money. You only needed to buy one copy, to then read it twice.

AI logos and buttons tend to be “shiny” with a gradient color scheme.

“Fuck Konami, because Konami is the worst”

At least we have Kojima Productions instead, now. Loved a lot of what was in Death Stranding. Truly different from a lot of other games. Kind of like Journey, but without actually seeing any other players.

No. That goes on before the oven.

I feel personally attacked!

Besides, I actually opt not to coat them in butter, which means they are very much not greasy.

Most recipes tell you to smear melted butter on them right out the oven, but you don’t have to.

Agreed, I was the guy making that point in the first place.

Smokers are victims of marketing.

Everybody needs love, if only from themselves.

I made a similar point in that if you look for hate, you can end up finding it even when it isn’t there.

But this argument is weird:

Quite often trans people feel they have to showcase their sexuality, instead of just chilling and being cool with it like everyone else.

That type of “often” is an illusion, since you can’t know how large the group of people that don’t make themselves obvious is.

And plenty of straight cis people engage in the exact same behaviour, broadcasting their sexual identity. It’s not something everyone wants to do, but it’s absolutely something everyone gets to do.
