Using a smartphone from 5 years ago with modern updates feels worse than the first iPhone.

I can’t say I watched much of his content because anytime I did it was incredibly boring trash. I felt the same about markiplier pewdiepie etc as well though. In retrospect I’m glad

Americans when their gas price approaches almost half of what it normally is in Europe:

I finished the puzzle #713 (7x7) in 7 minutes, 48 seconds in One Up Puzzle. Try to beat me! https://oneuppuzzle.com/

which NATO/EU members? I was serioisly asking the question, I might be out of the loop

We have PLENTY of average benefits per person already. Currently most benefits go to rich people in the form of public investments in private companies, subsidies for often harmful industries, and a plethora of tax breaks. Growth is not the problem.

slöp

Is there any indication that this has any potential to become a world war? As far as I can tell this is just another atrocious US invasion of Western Asia.

Wieso radioaktiv? Ich kenn das mit dem Arsen in alten Büchern aber das ist ja nicht radioaktiv.

Edit: ahhh Wortspiel

And if GDP wasn’t keeping pace, why would that be a bad thing? It’s not like growth has meaningfully improved peoples lives in the last couple decades

Up to you but how is it not as nice though? It’s usually faster so you don’t have to deal with buffering, plus you can keep the content forever and watch it without internet access and after the site gets taken down.

True, though I’ve found this to frequently break after reboot

Früher hat man auf 480p Fernsehern mit 300ms latency zu viert splitscreen gespielt, jetzt hat jeder einen 4k Monitor aber kein splitscreen mehr 😔

If you don’t think the US is fascist at this point, you are too far right even for .world lol

Ah yes, the death of three murderers is the real tragedy in the face of like a hundred Iranian schoolgirls being bombed to bits

The following advice does not apply to piracy, it’s just general torrenting advice for downloading legally available content.

1. Install qbittorrent.
2. Use a VPN (windscribe has a free tier) whenever qbittorrent is running, even in the background, even when you aren’t downloading. Make sure qbittorrent doesn’t run on startup, it’s in settings. This makes sure nobody can see that your IP is torrenting perfectly legal content, for privacy.
3. Find a torrent. If you go to the pirate bay (top result on duckduckgo), be sure not to choose any copyright protected content, as torrenting that would be illegal in most places.
4. Search for your legally torrentable movie/show and press the magnet (or copy the magnet link) next to the torrent with the most seeders (SE)
5. paste the link into qbittorrent, optionally select “download first and last pieces first” and “download sequentially”, if you want to watch while downloading.
6. Always check the file extension of any files before opening - mp4 etc is safe, don’t run any .exe files. There is malware out there, especially in torrented games.
7. Be nice and keep seeding torrents after downloading
8. Enjoy your legally acquired content!

Can we do like, somewhat democratic institution with serious democratic deficits on top of the democratic deficits that are inherent in capitalism? Microdosing some nuance wouldn’t hurt, jank

I feel that

You make a good point. Maybe it’s the tone that put me off. I know too many people who go off on rants that sound similar, who don’t bother actually understanding what’s wrong with the world and as a result have no idea what capitalism even is. But that’s clearly not you
