This is exactly me.

I’ve been paying £5 a month by using a VPN to sign up for Premium from Ukraine. Been doing so for the past couple of years without complaint. Literally all I need from them is to fuck off the adverts. I have Apple Music for music and I’m happy with it.

Now they’ve rumbled us and will be cutting off our Premium next month.

I am fucked if I’m paying those ratfuckers £20 a month just so I can watch other people’s hard work without the adverts they force in. Fuck that noise.

So I’m now researching ways to get my subs onto Plex so I can carry on watching on my Apple TV.

But why? Why should we wear gendered skirts? Why can’t we wear pretty, floaty skirts with bright colours and patterns? Why must all of our clothing be so rugged?

I embraced dresses this summer, and will never look back.

Just around the house, mind, I’m not that brave. But fucking hell it was SO NICE getting a breeze up around my bits on the hottest days. Walking down stairs, the skirt billowing out and filling with cool air. Shit’s like a drug.

As a bonus, my wife thinks it’s hot.

So yeah, I’ve spent a bit on Vinted these past few months buying pretty skirts and dresses and sure, I’ve still got a beard and am kinda hairy, but I feel nice when I’m wearing them.

Here in the UK they weren’t often referred to as a VCR, or even a VHS, to be honest. It was always “the video player”. Even if it was a recorder. At least that was my experience.

I got my first MiniDisc in 99, when I was 19. It was Panasonic off eBay, and it was fucked. So I got my second MiniDisc in 99 when I was 19. THAT one was a Sony, and was rock solid.

I wish I could have afforded one in ‘96, because then I might have got more use out of the tech before MP3 strutted up and pantsed it.

20/21 was also peak Covid, so could be connected.

Right, but this is something that has never existed despite it being a fairly obvious interaction gesture.

YT emailed us yesterday to say that they believed our family Premium account is not, in fact, based in Ukraine where Premium is a fraction of the cost of other countries in Europe.

Anyway, by the time they’ve pulled the plug on us I’ll have FreeTube set up and rolling. Fuck ‘em.

I’m more than happy to sling them a fiver a month to get shot of adverts, but they can lick my arsehole if they think I’m ponying up £20 a month just so my wife and I can watch stuff without being advertised at as much as they think is reasonable.

Cunts.

I was talking to my wife about this yesterday, and ultimately this is a kink that’s dicey as fuck. There’s no way to play it 100% without running the risk of rape.

I mean, if you’re a guy who gets off on women being asleep/passed out when you have sex with them, knowing that they’ve given express consent kinda kills the vibe. But you can’t expect to have sex with someone who hasn’t given you express consent.

So in the end I fall down on having zero sympathy for the guys who claim they thought she was in on it. She’s either told you it’s cool or she hasn’t.

Yeah, after this I had the Vario III, which was an HTC Kaiser. The phone was great (if somewhat underpowered), but WinMob was still clunky and shit.

My next phone after that was an iPhone 3GS, and I’ve been iPhone ever since.

“A guy” Give Mr Mobile his due! The man’s a legend!

A friend of mine had the Droid.

At that point I was rocking the T Mobile Vario, which I believe was an HTC. It was, sadly, dog shit. Windows Mobile was not a fun time.

Ooh ah up da Ra!

Er…no… Not me…

DM me your card details and I’ll send you a couple of pints from my platypus farm.

As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only animal that can make its own custard.

Mario Kart DS.

Shit’s a masterpiece.

Oh fork! This was the Bad Place all along!

Hear me out, but pickle pizza is pretty damn good. The sauce is mayo, sour cream, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

The paleo diet exists.
