I’ve never paid plex

They obviously can’t be trusted to handle the money I give them properly

Which is it?

I am sure that they didn’t hand over the chat logs for free

They handed over the chat logs in response to a court order to do so. The gov't didn't pay them. They forced them.

Extremely weak ragebait attempt.

At this point it's just willful ignorance.

Your avatar is evil

Downloaded my first mp3 and my first pirated movie from IRC. DCC bots were the jam back in the day.

finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold

Not if you're on the right tracker(s)...really should try and get into RED and/or Orpheus.

As usual, the book is leagues better than the show, though it was a pretty good adaptation.

I've always said, a single streaming service that had everything, from every single studio, for $50/month, I would never need to pirate again. Until this happens, I will continue to pirate.

Now, instead of buying a copy of Office, you subscribe to Microsoft365

The president of Nintendo of America is actually Doug Bowser. No relation, I'm assuming.

WizTree is sooooo much faster than WinDirStat. Give it a try.

It is 100% the entire point of Belt and Road.

Pretty sure he took out loans using his Tesla stock as collateral, rather than dumping the stock outright.

Be patient. A legit WEB-DL will be around in a month or two.

You could always step into the 21st century and run an adblocker like the rest of us smart web users.

fediverse YouTube alternatives

Yea, so who's hosting the videos and providing the bandwidth?

Yea, this wasn't an abortion, this was straight up murder. Headline is clickbait as fuck.

Pretty sure it aired on Hulu.

I live in the Southeastern US, never get bombarded with right-wing stuff on Youtube. My conclusion is if you're getting hit with that content, at some point you've watched that sort of content. Always click the 3 dots and click Don't Recommend Channel. It actually works, contrary to what people are saying here.

Even in Flint these days the water is generally safe to drink.

Both Russia and the USA have nukes.

Only one of which is waving them around like they're in a dick-waving contest.

Kind of what happens when you don't pay your $1B bill, you mean.
