  Goes to check user account… Welp, that’s actually pretty much what I was looking for.

  Also, damn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your ultimate lineup!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There were a few other bands I wouldn’t mind seeing on there, like Slipknot does seem like they put on a good show. StaticX is a band that has a few songs I still listen to.

  But over all I keep looking at those three, and I wouldn’t be willing to trade them for any of the other bands.

  Oh shit. I didn’t know that. Might be able to get some other albums on there then. Thanks for the heads up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music Piracy Is Back, Baby⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The apps is definitely a part of it for me. One if my friends got YouTube Premium, and since he has 3 profiles he can attach to it, hrs letting me use it. It’s nice for the ad free videos on my TV. But it also comes with YouTube Music. It’s honestly kind of annoying at times.

  Like yesterday I wanted to listen to an album by a band, and they only have like 2 of 3 albums. The one I wanted to listen to is the one they didn’t have. So I had to make a Playlist by finding videos of the songs.

  And thats for a band that’s not super underground. I listen to a lot of grindcore and black metal, and a lot of that isn’t even on there.

  And when you download things, you can only have it organized by albums. I can’t organize it by band and then have all the albums.

  It’s also sometimes slow to load up stuff I’ve downloaded.

  Over all its not the greatest experience. I’m currently looking at getting a mobile game device for my emulators so I can free up space on my phone, and then I’m thinking about just going back to having all the music on files on there and using an music player app. And like you said, I can have it organized how I want and customize things a bit more. Especially since I no longer have Comcast, so I can use Soulseek again.

  This is why I don’t bother with anything outside the main game. It’s like Netflix with shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thousands of Software Engineers Say the Job Market Is Getting Much Worse⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My brother was going to school for pharmacy work, but ended up hating it. He mostly was in it because he got thrown into the pharmacy at Walgreens, and they were paying for his schooling.

  So he switched over probably about the same time.

  I’m thinking maybe he should have just stuck with the free school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP Microsoft WordPad. You Will Be Missed⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like anytime I’ve ever taken a class to learn how to use Word, it’s been one of two things.

  First is essentially how we will use Word. It’s a note pad with a few extra things for editing text, but the main thing is headers, footers, and the margin sizes.

  Second is nothing I will ever use. When I was going to school for accounting I had to take a class on Windows programs, and we spent so much time learning how to post images, how to edit them, and shit like that. By the end of the class I could probably make a profesional looking flyer, but it would have taken half the time with any image editing type program.

  Also in that class we had a free students version of Word, which meant that there were usually steps in the homework we couldn’t do, but we still got points docked for it. Even though we all told the professor about this. So that was fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, food is definitely a great one. I’m lucky in that towards the end of summer, our local vegetable garden will sell a lot of their stuff in front of the local church. It’s right next to my apartment complex. I love baking, especially muffins, so I’ll go right over there and grab some blue berries and raspberries. Get a pumpkin for Halloween. Maybe some watermelon. And all of that money goes back into things for the garden for the next year. I think it’s great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  as much as possible and in as many areas as possible.

  I do want to just take a second to highlight this. The idea of buying local and buying from people who make things instead of corporations can be hard. It’s expensive. And obviously the point is that we are all struggling. So looking at all the stuff I buy I thinking I need to spend so much more on all of that is daunting.

  We all live under the same shitty capitalistic hellscape. We can’t get out of it. We can only do what we can. Need a new dresser? A locally made one will cost you a lot. Don’t stress about not being able to afford it. If you need to, get a cheaper one.

  But for a lot of things, you can get it for just as cheap looking around on Etsy. If they have their own website where you can order it so they don’t have to pay Etsy money, even better. My boyfriend is in his last semester of nursing school, so I’m getting him a gift, and it’s custom made. It’s expensive, but most things I would get him are probably made with cheap labor in another country, and would just help prop up a large corporation.

  Does this mean everything I buy is custome made? That it’s made locally? No. I can’t afford that. But I stopped using Amazon for just about everything, have started buying from people when I can, and it’s honestly kind of nice. I got to help someone make a living doing what they want to do, instead of just working a job. So even though we can’t afford it all the time, it’s great to do it when you can, and not let the idea of it needing to be everything make us feel defeated and then never doing it.

  I’m just not an authoritarian. I don’t like the government spying on us as it is. Why would I volunteer to give up even more privacy? Consider installing cameras in your home and give the government access to them if you want. Totes just to make sure the kids aren’t doing anything wrong. I’ll skip.

  Party of small government!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point I’m not convinced people will abandon the Republicans. Especially if they get to vote for Trump. They’ll just assume Trump will fix it by taking PornHub to court cause this is all PornHubs fault.

  For me it’s the micro SD card. Which the FP5 has… but I use my phone for emulators, and their phones aren’t as powerful as I would need. Also, they don’t sell in the US, so I couldn’t use it even if I wanted.

  Huh. I actually didn’t know that. Learned something new today.

  While we are at it, the. The t doesn’t sound like a t. The h doesn’t sound like an h. The e doesn’t sound like an e.

  None of the letters sound like how they should when looked at individually. I propose we change this. From now on, each letter gets pronounced as itself in the word the.

  If it’s anything like any other social media site that that let’s you pay to promote, they will do it once…

  And then half ass it a second time…

  Then they just tell you they are, but you won’t see any more people listening to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think of the children⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if we want to take the idea of forcing to really anything, then you still want a government, which means rules, which means you are also in favor of forcing. You just want a government run by people volunteer their free time.

  And if you want to learn some of the more intricate workings of communism, you can do research. But yes, everyone who can work still does work. Just as your system forces you to work or starve and live on the street.

  Turns out every side has somethings that get forced and other things that don’t, because the world isn’t exactly a binary as you suggest. Even the concept of left and right has been broken down more into a square called the political compass. And some even argue you could add another axis for social issues. But at the end of the day, communism would allow freedoms in certain areas, such as it being a stateless society, while yours would mean you get to keep the money and not pay taxes.

  And then you show at the end you aren’t even here for a conversation. I never said I was a communist, and I mentioned how communism doesn’t have taxes, and yet you still use it as a come back.

  Maybe learn something about these theories before you spout off about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think of the children⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically communism should be a moneyless, stateless society. No government to give taxes to. No corporations to take your money. No money to take. No one to force things. It’s all for the people by the people. The idea that you’re pointing to communism as force in order to defend your decision to vote republican on an article about pedophelia is pretty telling. This is why some people assume libertarians want to fuck kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Internet boards and Forums dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love Discord for gaming with friends. I don’t mind some programs using it for releasing things. Like I play Session(skateboarding sim) a decent amount. It’s usually used for people throwing up custom maps and mods.

  But anytime people talk about going to a discord to really discuss things and keep up with them, I’m just gonna move on.

  NTA. If they didn’t want to be blown up, they shouldn’t have done something deserving of being blown up. You should leave her first and find someone who deserves you. After you throw a grenade at her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Kids Online Safety Act' will deliberately target trans content, senator admits.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yall also said the same thing about gay people. It was considered a mental disorder. All of these talking points are recycled, but then just slightly altered to fit trans people instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Kids Online Safety Act' will deliberately target trans content, senator admits.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yall said the same thing about some of us being gay. Turns out when used all of the same talking points back then, we were still gay. I was influenced to not be gay, because gay people are disgusting pedophiles who worship Satan, and I ended up gay despite not being a pedophile or worshiping Satan.
