  • Makes sense, though that just gives the impression that this site isn't anything special. I swear there's a million and a half streaming sites by now, and I would bet everyone using FMovies has found clones or alternatives (if they didn't already know of some).

  • Not long after my mother recovered from chemotherapy, my grandmother passed away. I was tasked with disposing of my mother's morphine, however I decided to take it for relief.

    I was addicted not to the feeling of being numb so much, but the initial euphoria. I would snort the morphine in powder form. I know I did some rudimentary conversion, however after kicking it I forgot every single step and cannot remember a lot of that time.
    Over a year had passed, yet my knowledge of it is very little. It feels as though I have lost parts of my life... Like I mean, literally lost.

    The euphoric kick got less and less prevalent, and I felt as though I needed more in order to gain that initial kick - however I wasn't even aware of this effect happening, despite all manners of media being rife with this step of opiate addictions. The act of increasing dosages came so naturally I don't even think I made a conscious decision to, yet my tolerance rose to points where I was taking multiple times the lethal dose (for someone with base tolerance levels).

    I saw what it was doing to me at one point, just by happenstance of looking into the mirror for a moment longer than usual.

    I went cold turkey, and it was... Well, hell doesn't even describe how this felt. It took about a couple of weeks, with the first being the worst.
    I had locked myself up in my room, telling some folks to check up on me periodically, online friends mainly, and what to do if I don't respond within a given time. I recall a moment where one of my friends was about to call an ambulance, because I was one minute late to answer (I was probably vomiting profusely).

    The very last time I did that was in the second or third week of November, 2012.

    I understand that going cold turkey could be very dangerous, especially with a built up tolerance, however at that point I would not have been able to wean myself off of the stuff. I was too far in, and without going extremely hard into it I probably would have died not too long after.

    If you have a friend going through opiate addiction, please be there for them. That's all I can say.

  • I highly recommend the DeArrow extension. I was on a waiting list after installing, for a few days, and then once I got access it has made the entire YouTube experience much better.

    The extension removes clickbait thumbnails (replacing them with a part of the video itself), and clickbait titles are replaced with more accurate descriptions. It's all done by a big community, so the more popular videos are likely to have the edits, however overall it certainly is a better experience for me.

  • These things being taken down is an eventuality no one can avoid, however if no one but Nintendo sees it, and takes it down, not many people will know about it.
    By spreading these things when they are good it encourages a lot of things. It encourages backups, communities dedicated to preservation of files or at least discussion of them (through piracy of course, though still counts). Making more people aware of them also makes some talented individuals realise that they have the capability to get into these things themselves. Etc.

    I for one had no idea about this prior to this post, and Super Mario: Sunshine is one of my favourite games, so I'm excited to try this mod out later.

  • Women aren't going to be able to get the bus back to the airport and I will be in the office tomorrow so I can do it for you and Rob and I can do it for you and Rob and I can do it for you and Rob and I can do it for you and Rob....

    For some reason it keeps repeating the last part. I have no idea what this means, however I will surely be convinced it is a message from beyond... The airport?

  • Hmm, surgery to remove a part of my large intestine... Or have a spliff. Difficult decision, however for now I'm much preferring the latter.

    Edit: sorry, I'm high. I forgot which condition I was talking about (I have a few). I'd still rather get high tbh.

  • So sick!

  • My opinion on this is that they're already getting money from ads, I have no desire to wilfully turn myself into an ad for 99.9% of YouTube channels. I felt the need to clarify because, truth be told, I along with many others are already walking advertisements sometimes.
    I wear band shirts, and I love advertising the shit out of them. But it feels different to advertise bands and musicians on clothing than it does most YouTube channels. The impact is something I think about: maybe I don't feel as strongly about them because they have not been impactful in the same ways, in the sense that I still listen to music from when I was a kid occasionally (and I can't imagine saying this about YouTubers in general).

    I'd probably rock classic British comedy stuff too. Anything timeless I suppose.

  • Be sure to get things checked anyway.

    I had extreme back pains for ages, and the only thing that helped was smoking a lot of weed. Got rid of most of the pains, however many years later it was discovered that I had twisted discs in my spine, and the weed was masking the severity due to the pain relief!

    So now I have a diagnosed bad back and I smoke a lot of weed on prescription. So... Nothing has really changed but... I mean....
    I forgot where I was going with this. See a doctor! It won- I mean, it sometimes doesn't waste time. Erm.

  • Thanks for this comment.

    Sounds very idiotic to say an android phone is repairable, as the main marketing point, and then lock the bootloader. This doesn't make sense to me, or most others I would presume.

  • I think it was Track and Field, then I think my brother didn't like the Commodore and they exchanged that for an NES (I don't know about the transaction, I was very young). Most of my earliest gaming memories are of SMB1.

    I was around 3 or so, at the time.
