Peugeot started off making pepper and salt grinders.

Before you can look where? It turns out the damn tower doesn’t even have windows! You can see nothing but walls and your stupid boomer mom screaming you’re a disappointment!

(Last week I had this, just not in a windowless tower. Fucking boomers)

Look at the sun for a while and you won’t see anything ever anymore.

Depends how high you are. On a tower you can see much further.

Source? Because that’s so not true. Birds are an invention by the government, they are robots to spy on us. The government wants us to believe they always existed. It’s all fabricated lies created by the government. Source

I fucking hate newsletter emails but this is the only site I registered for one. I’m launching my ass off every single time. 😂 I love satire haha

I rather have a source to support a claim instead of “but it’s how I feel so it’s real! Scientists don’t know anything, stop debunk my feelings with facts because I know I’m right! I read it on Facebook!”

We need more reliable and supported sources and less fake news.

Repeating himself over and over again, even saying it’s something for narcissists, it’s probably something he’s struggling with himself. And it makes sense, seeing how camera horny he is. If he would do actual scientific research instead of talking about primary school science stuff on cheap TV shows. But no.

Using an imaginary friend as excuse? Wtf

Oooh you mean Elon Musk? xD

Did he became famous with an explosion? Did he affect millions? Is he still affecting many? Is he so legendary he will be around for a few hundred years? Does he have elephant feet? Does he own land where no one but him is allowed to live? Did the USSR try to hide him?

Who is that guy?

Many don’t know about usenet. When you only download using torrents and don’t know anything else, you might look into it after reading something about it here. It’s how I found sonarr and radarr, by reading about it on reddit.

About the speed: Oh, that’s such a difference. I download with roughly 100MB/s constantly, which is the max write speed of my drives (1000mb/s connection). I’ve never reached anything like that with torrents.

New movie? Sure. Let’s download the 46GB version. 10min later and it’s downloaded, extracted, renamed, put in the right folder, added to Kodi ready to watch, including subtitles.

To me usenet is a no-brainer.

Ah, but that’s why I don’t get a baby. I’m fine with my kittens haha

Both downloading and uploading is illegal in most places, even downloading became illegal here in the Netherlands a few years ago. But searching for someone downloading a movie is dumb, you would want to catch the uploader so there won’t be anything to download anymore. The Dutch company Brein actively searches for uploaders and fines them on contract from creators, labels and studios. They do this together with the Dutch police and police from other nationalities. They don’t care if you have ip TV, they do care if you host ip TV. They don’t care if you download, they do care if you upload. With torrents you also upload, so they want to fine you if able. Due to privacy laws in The Netherlands this isn’t possible yet, but in Germany it’s a standard practice as ISP’s are forces to share user information.

Yeah fair enough, but that’s why they run idle instead of off when not in use, right? At least my NAS optimizes the lifespan of my drives while at the same time preserves power by keeping them running idle when not in use AFAIK. As soon as I access data I hear the drives spinning harder. My pc runs on SSD’s as it is off during the night and downloading to SSD storage means rewriting bits all the time which wears SSD storage down, unlike with HDD’s. So my NAS runs sonarr and radarr and automatically downloads everything by itself, directly to HDD’s. But those HDD’s are idle when I’m not downloading, because I’m not uploading because I don’t use torrents.

But please correct me if I’m wrong. I’d love to improve my setup and the life span of my drives.

I have very deep connections with my friends. Not something you just make with anyone new. We’ve been through so much together. We’re there for each other through better and through worse. Even though my life is horrible and I’m completely fucked up and broken, I feel rich with the friendships I have, as not many people can say they have as many friends as I have, with the deep connections my friends and I share.

Now I don’t work anymore, I’m struggling to survive with PTSD due to military deployment (which is an organisation which goes against everything what I stand for, but somehow I ended up there, stuck for 15 years. I’m an anarchist, can you believe it?), together with autism, depression and apparently a personality disorder, highly likely some ADHD, which is a perfect cocktail to make everything untreatable and worse.

But now I have time to see my friends again, who support me, and who I can support so I can feel a purpose in life again.

Sorry for making this extremity heavy all of a sudden, but I felt I needed to explain why I would never trade any of my friends for anything in the world.

I used to love this. Arrive at work around 06h (getting up at 4:30, 1h drive), do loads of work without noise or people bothering me. Downside was I would go to bed around 21h so my social life was shit as most of my friends work until late and are down to chill from around 20h. Even during weekends this day-night cycle meant my social life was shit. Also my colleagues never saw me starting work so early, so they would always look angry and I would always have to defend myself when leaving early every day. But I could do a week’s work in a single day this way and I could enjoy the day during sunlight when I got home making me feel less stressed by work in general. It didn’t feel like my daily life consisted of being a work slave, more like I had something useful to do in the first half of the day and loads of time to relax, be creative and active the other half.

This is so true, except it’s not my brain anymore but my kittens telling me to wake up by holding a world wrestling competition on top of me until I wake up, get out of bed and feed them. So there’s no room for “Ah fuck. Well, I’ll just turn around for half an hour” as you’re already out of bed and downstairs.

Because paying for usenet means paying for privacy rights. Next to that, law enforcements are actively hunting uploaders, not downloaders. Usenet is much faster. Constant uploading is less energy efficient as it requires more pc power (especially when uploading loads of data) so it costs you more power, slows your pc, keeps your hard drives actively running which wears them down (as I imagine you don’t have 32TB in SSD). With torrents you need to keep them uploading to get ratio on the closed community sites, so it takes up much more drive capacity. On open sites you get loads of viruses and other junk. I use my upload speed for friends to stream the content from my NAS instead. I got free vpn with my usenet account, for the price of a vpn account so I pay as much as you downloading torrents, if not less, assuming you’re smart enough to have a paid vpn subscription. And this vpn is on top of SSL for extra privacy.

Usenet is better in so many ways.
