The word "slams"
I'm not reading it because I've probably wiped better journalism off my arse this morning
Poster slams poop off his butthole, sparks controversy!
What a crock of shit!
Fedi Punter in Media Lingo Rant Slam: Reaction
I'm fuckin raging. HERE'S WHY
Ten pictures of Feddit users reacting to clickbait headlines that will make you say "no, these are all trains. No, I'm complaining as such, I like trains, I just... I thought... No, the headline said something about... reactions, yeah, and ins- actually, hang on, how did you get in here?"
There's no need of "slam" -- or "eye," "mull," "Solons," usw -- in an era where you're not writing a 1-42-4.
(1 column, 42pt, four lines)
"a single user says..."
The daily dot is a fucking joke.
Regardless, 15 hours audio is low AF
15 hours for what period of time? The article mentions they'd refill in two days...
Pro tip: get audiobooks from your libraryā¦along with paper books, ebooks, games, movies, etc.
The real story's in the comments. This helped my single-mother-friend stay sane in the early/poorest years. Everyone needs to know how their library has changed since they last borrowed a book in 1982. Thanks for posting this -- I forgot too!
So, is this the type of SLAM you'd typically see in a moshpit? Or are we talking about wrestling slams?
I think it's more like a door slam without a door.
I'm voting poetry

Spotify is worse than piracy. It's a robber baron.
I'm about 2/3 of the way through backing up my 'Liked' songs to MP3 files, at which point I'm ending my sub.
It's a bummer because I actually really like Spotify's algorithm and it suggests great music for my tastes, but, I can have that for free without feeding their stupid insatiable greed.
āthe 15 hours customers get free with premium equates to two audiobooksā
Is the average audiobook really that short!
For eragon it would takes months to finish.
The hobbit is 10 hours.
Think most of the books Iāve listened to have been over that length, but I donāt use Spotify. Self hosting for the win. No time limits in prologue
They probably have a bunch of 1 hour 'books' that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.
Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it'd be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I've ever seen.

You can opt out of audiobooks and save the extra cost they added the other month. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2024/05/spotify-saving-basic-plan-audiobooks/?source=CRM-MSETIP-84b484ca1c047788624

Thanks! I didn't know about this. I never use audiobooks. Just changed my family plan. Ā£2 is Ā£2!
