Sorry for some reason my rely appeared here rather than where I aimed it.

I want the artist to make tshirts and I can buy them. Is that a thing?
- Comment on Why Do Co-Op Stores Only Work in Small Towns? 1 week ago:
I know they both (Coles + ww) did some sketchy stuff to kill off all stores around them, they set up contracts with premises not to let competitors in the buildings, those contracts have been made illegal, but they still existhow are you going to know they exist to eradicate them. Plus high rents that are killing for profit businesses, that combined with Coles + ww buying power, (bulk buying in truckloads) mean they can acquire a product at a ridiculously lowered price and can therefore lower the price to much lower than a side seller can, until those go out of business and then they start the aggressive price rises, once they’ve killed off competition. They also sign contracts with producers that don’t allow them to sell to anyone else. They do heaps of other, really aggressive anti competition stuff, that should be illegal, but they probably lobby to skate by unregulated. I would suggest there’s reasons politicians aren’t doing anything about the monopoly or the practices they’ve utilised to become a monopoly, in tandem. So those practices would keep anything like what you’re talking about out.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 2 weeks ago:
I think they’re getting pressure re the pirating aspect. I could imagine the bigger they get the bigger the magnifying glass will be held up to them. They’re probably doing some fancy footwork to be able to remain in production / avoid lawsuits and similar pressure.
- Comment on i broke 2 weeks ago:
Check out some DBT / cbt techniques on YouTube or the like, whatever is easiest to access, find some that resonate with you and make them your own / tweak them so they fit your life / vibe.
I did a DBT course, and while I hated every minute of it, a lot of it is super great and hugely helpful for coping in hard moments and a great recipe for a way of living that’s more calm and balanced. I feel like I hated the DBT course I did because the people presenting it had never even stumbled on a rock in their lives, let alone lived through a hard moment and needed any of this stuff for real, and their privilege read as saccharine condescension.
BUT! I’m never one to throw the baby out with the bath water, I believe you can turn anything to your advantage or upskill or just build knowledge, if you’re industrious enough! You take those muthafking lemons and you make champagne, fk them. Plus they just mostly showed us clips on YouTube, so lol. The DBT course I did felt more like the break room from severance, having to admit how faulty you are and how this new enlightening thing they just told you seconds ago is going to benefit your life, as they announce each section. They didn’t even give you time to process, let alone leave room for if that was something you already knew or already utilized, but, I powered through and just paid lip-service, got my upskill, moved on.
Easier path, just look up DBT on YouTube, find people explaining what you like, give it a go on a regular basis.

- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
But it’s included in a plex pass. I know a lot of people were saying, a while back, they were happy to purchase a lifetime pass, so as to support the software. I didn’t actually realise you could share without the plex pass. I thought that was always a thing.

Maybe that’s why these 1%ers wealth hoard so hard, maybe they genuinely think they ARE middle class.

It’s mastitis, so more like the whole portion, internally, is filled with puss. Which needs antibiotics…

“you know, new day, same old, how about you?” think of it as a game of catch, throw the ball back, if you don’t want to / or have a quick answer.
