Does that make me a dad even if I don't have any kids?

Getting enjoyment from seeing other/young peoples enjoyment diminished is not a dad-thing, it's just a jerk-thing.

Its got the face of Dave Grohl,but the eyes of Michael Jackson...it's some uncanny valley shit.

That "somewhere" ought to be complaining to the FTC etc., because boycotts are hardly ever effective

I agree, but avoiding feeding in to the negative feedback loop that you want changed is a good thing until that happens.

I listen to a few podcasts that have no ads at all, so that's also not true.

I'm not blaming any single person, I'm blaming the attitude they (and many people in general) approach it with.

It all has to start somewhere...taking the apathetic approach is not only not helping, but you're a part of what's making it worse by just accepting it.

Its called "not listening to those ad-ridden pieces of crap"-podcasts. Vote with your wallet and attention.

Sooo many Germans are terrible at English. It's better with the younger generations (<30y/o) and people with higher education (bachelor's degree and up). But I frequently run into Germans that have fairly poor English skills, some it's almost impossible to communicate properly with either because they don't speak it or because their accent is so crazy thick they're hard to understand.

Common sense logic kinda dictates that once people have obtained a product, they're unlikely to go back an pay for the same product even if they liked what they got the first time. The only outlier I have seen, is with small(er) indie games where people are more likely to offer support. Someone pirating a AAA title, liking it and then buying it shortly after at full retail is pretty rare i would say.

You could look in to tdarr, it can do pretty much everything and has a web based GUI

That's a pretty cool way to construct a bearing that fits the limitations of especially FDM printing.

I generally refrain from discussing politics anywhere I'm trying to have a good time. People are really bad at discussing political topics without getting all riled up. It's exactly the same as religious topics, people get weirdly combatant. I find it much easier to have a good time if you just keep that stuff to yourself as much as possible.

Then I wouldn't even spend a second trying to cancel the account...remove the disposable mail from your mail so you don't receive forwards and be done with it.

Why on earth did you give them any real info?

If your phone did the full signal amplification and driving of the speakers, that battery would die pretty quickly too.

Shows that are continuously putting out episodes are not necessarily long-winded...most shows I "follow" (there's only 3) are on season 2 or 3 and do either batch releases of a few episodes or release single episodes one at a time.

It's just nice that when I have the time to watch them, I don't first have to check if something has come out and then wait for it to download (even though I have gigabit), it's just already there and ready to go. Why wouldn't I want that? What would I possibly gain by having this be a manual task instead? Spending 5-10min finding itin the resolution etc. that I want and then another 10-20min waiting for it to download compared to just opening jellyfin and seeing "ooh, another episode dropped, neat!"...do you prefer finding what you want to watch on e.g. Netflix, and then wait 10-20min for it to buffer before you can watch it over instantly beginning streaming it?

ignore the comments about Sonarr and Radarr etc, they're for people who are addicted to downloading as much media as humanly possible, or folks in the US with 1990s internet speed. I've tried them and didn't find much benefit to them.

This I really disagree with. Sonarr is absolutely terrible for backfilling shows with many seasons, it's not at all what its for and you're much better off manually finding season packs and downloading those and then binge. Sonarr is for monitoring shows with continuous releases and automatically download the new episodes so they're ready for watching when they drop. I love not having to manually track when the few shows I do follow release new episodes and then add them to my client, because they're just there in my library when they're available.

I mean, it's not unreasonable for the search engine to assume OP just didn't know how to spell "reverse" or mistyped it...statistically that's probably way more likely.

Annoying, yes...but being specific in search queries is always a good idea, most people just tend to be super vague in their search queries.

OP wanted gifs with reavers from firefly, but got a bunch of "reverse" gifs instead, so to OP DDG is half dead and worth nothing.

I always ditch a podcast the second i hear an ad or something that resembles paid sponsored content. Fuck that, I'll pay them if I find the quality worth it, ads are cancer.
