Froyn, to piracy in If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing

Things got weird when we went digital.

  1. It's perfectly okay, reasonable, legal to record a tape off the radio. Yet it's illegal to download a better copy?
  2. It's perfectly okay, reasonable, legal to record a VHS tape off the TV. Yet it's illegal to download a better copy?

I vote that the next generation of computer monitors bring back the degauss button.

Froyn, to upliftingnews in It's one of the biggest experiments in fighting global poverty. Now the results are in

Let's get crazier.

Our current favorite show is Bob's Burgers, it's a comfort show we fall asleep to. Prior to signing up with real debrid I got tagged for downloading a 2 year old episode.

We pay for Hulu. We pay for YoutubeTV. We have a working OTA antenna (for when the internet goes out).
My math says I have 3 licenses, yet still illegal to download?

Umm... Unless that's a 6 door vehicle, that racoon is driving (in the US).

Sega Dreamcast. It was ahead of its time, at the time. GD-ROM (1.2Gigs of data in an era of CD), Dual pressure sensitive triggers, modem, ethernet adapter. Even the memory card was a portable minigame device.

Froyn, to memes in In ThESe UnCErTAin TImEs - you owe us another $10

Checked last night. Since installing the Epic Game Store (pause for seething hate) I've acquired 156 games. Haven't paid for a single one. While most will probably never get installed/played, there's some great games in there. BioShock series, Civ6, KSP, Surviving Mars, etc.

Froyn, to memes in I wasn't in a hurry anyway

Muahaha. Must be Woot!
Pay for delivery and we'll get it there on X. Or don't' pay for delivery and it gets there when it gets there.

Froyn, to memes in Loyalty means nothing to a corporation

Look, if it were up to me I'd love to help you out. I have to think of this way though... My wife and kids would be awfully sore at me if I came home unemployed for breaking company policy like that.

Horrible site, I know, but...

Froyn, to privacy in Looking for FOSS android TV (or something like Kodi, but dumber)

Take your PC that you set aside, install the Stremio FlatPak, sign up for a Debrid Service, and use the Torrentio plugin for Stremio.

Froyn, to mildlyinteresting in Scrabble’s New Official Word List Contains Dozens of Stunning Additions. Elite Players Are Mortified.

Never had this problem playing UpWords
