  • Man you're so defeatist. Do you dare call yourself a pirate still with that kind of mentality? If so, please excuse yourself by not representing of being a part of the pirate community.

    Because we don't have time or patience for that shit. Things shut down all the time, but things also come back. People within rank will pick up what's been left behind. The only people dumb enough to say the shit you've said, are simply just leechers. Leechers who take and take but give nothing back. You're nothing.

  • No, what they really mean is that the internet will not forget the shit that don't matter. We're talking how obsessed people have gotten with Chris-Chan. All the while this shit is happening.

    We don't give a fuck about how little of a life you live, where you orbit around shitty online people who do shitty things. We are losing stuff like this and getting fucked over all the while.

  • Man if they manage to one day buy-out Wikipedia and even Britannica. You just know that's exactly what they'll do. They'll whitewash all articles that shed light on their atrocities, demonize groups and individuals they don't like, scrub away certain historical entries and vice versa.

    You just know they would do that.

  • To me, the Internet died a little before 2012. Some may say 2009, others say 2007. But I say it started to die since 2012, it's just been a steady process and now we've been seeing the rapidness catch up within the past 9 years.

    It's not a guess anymore as to how many corps, companies and zealot individuals want to take control of the internet for their own gain.

  • I called it, sadly. They weren't going to stop at the e-books. It'll be music now, then I imagine they're going to go after as many video clips and then they'll be after all of the games hosted there that gaming companies today don't give a shit about preserving unless it's going to make them a buck again.

    This timeline absolutely fucking sucks each and every passing minute.

  • If I was a parent, I'd be one of those parents where the child has to suffer the consequences. No, I will not come to your defense when you engage with and anger trolls. No, I will not be responsible for any scarring you inflicted on yourself by watching things or seeing things not meant for a young person's mind pre-adulthood.

    I'll gladly give them their own computer and I'll give them internet access. I'll gladly give warnings and cautions. But fuck with all of them whether it's illegal activity that's going to come at my doorstep or whine about anything you started - you're fucked.

    Do you get exhausted from being involved with activism and politics?

    I believe I am exhausted. I got exhausted of causes when a friend dropped me or given me a preluding sign that our friendship was at an end when they told me I was 'hopeless' that I wasn't jumping up and down for feminism.

    It's like, I know what I stand for and I do want to see more of and support the rights of women. The problem is that, with a lot of causes like feminism, it's kind of mushy. It isn't straightforward, it is loud, it is a winding path. I just feel like just simply supporting the rights of women isn't enough with it and that there's something more.

    And that I'm expected to devote all of my time and energy and effort to it just to prove it. The least I can do and have done anymore, is whenever an issue involving women comes up and someone is attempting to shut them down, I'll speak my mind of it.

    But I've got a life too to live here and I don't want my identity tied up in whatever I believe in politically or socially. I see so many people seemingly burnt out or

    What are some words you swear people use to try and sound smart?

    Mine is - Algorithm. Ever since people have learned some of the inner workings of how content is suggested to them, that became the new spammed word that easily got exhausted within the week of it being used.

    Yeah, an algorithm does indeed pitch you things of what to watch or listen to. But there's more going on than that, but people all the time just stop at that word and expect everyone to suddenly understand it. Sadly, most people just buy it at face value.

    What does not get easier to handle in life?

    Seeing all that you grew up with, pass away. With the recent passing of James Earl Jones, I've said that the world is losing more color with the likes of him that passed.

    Over the years, I've found that the things I've grown up with to know about with what they've done, what they've influenced and the chain of events that were caused because of them in a positive light, just vanish.

    And I like others, have the unfortunate reality to hear and see them go away. Akira Toriyama, Kentaro Miura, Satoru Iwata, Leiji Matsumoto .etc

    Those are few of the names I've listed as examples where moving on in life without them in the world is just a bit hard to get accustomed to. I mean, I guess the silver lining is that we'll be joining them someday soon since that's the cycle of life for you. But for now it just currently sucks.

    What are some of your ticks?

    I have a habit of beginning nearly any other thing with 'So'.

    Well, I wanted to enjoy stream sticks

    Beginning to have thoughts now on just donating away my stream sticks and use my TV in the living room as a back up incase the one I have in my bedroom dies.

    I got into streaming sticks about a few months ago, I have an ONN brand one and Amazon one that's 4k. And I know the appeal of them and the appeal is nice. It makes you feel like you're watching cable television without subscribing to an overpriced cable subscription. It was nice.

    It was nice until everytime I go to have some sit down time in the living room than my bedroom to watch something there, I turn on the ONN stick, I try watching a single YouTube video.

    30 second ad. Skipped it. 4 minutes into the video - another ad. And this will happen the longer the video is where it's just ad, ad, ad.

    Between the two, only the ONN stick has a chance of being rooted but I'm not sure I want to risk bricking or ruining it. The Amazon one cannot be rooted which is a shame.

    So yeah, not really digging stream sticks as much a
