  • 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.


  • A lot of users on Reddit have an intellectual security. They know that they actually know nothing about anything but treat their opinions as if they’re factual and insightful takes on issues and situations they likely never have experience or knowledge in. So they apply that, while looking at Google on the side or thumbing up other threads with similar situations to gather a response.

    There’s nothing to be afraid of with saying ‘I don’t know’ but that doesn’t exist in their vocabulary, so rather than saying that, they demonstrate how little they actually know. And when confronted and contested by people who do know, that insecurity comes out and they flip into being a pretentious shit mongerer who’s got to now antagonize everyone around them in any way, because their insecurity is beaming for everyone to see.

    They can’t handle anyone who’s more educated than they are. I guess they got to put that GED into use somehow.


  • 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.




  • 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.












  • That’s not a bad thing. Maybe some of us don’t want to be cluttered with a lot of things we don’t really care for on using. God forbid we go back to simpler days of communication whereas now we’ve got things like Discord trying to charge people to pay actual money to have fancy little animations for your profile picture.

    Is that what you think is missing? Stupid pointless things that make you feel special because you paid money for it when the true attraction should be focused on how much communicating can be efficient and caring about your privacy and security?




  • 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.
