Probably going to work. Just another company trying to wring money from their user base since they can't reasonably grow. So many people were like "oh I'm cancelling Netflix if I can't share it" and then it was record sign ups for them and overall more money.

They are doing this right before The Boys comes back on and somewhat during Invincibles part 2 airing. People will be annoyed and pay the upcharge.

And like me pirating those still won't change much since I already was.

You could say that about any pet snake really, but as long as you're a good snake owner it's not a big risk. They eat once every week or two on a schedule and the general rule of thumb is don't cuddle with them when it's feeding day. Feed them in a special container that's only association and purpose is feeding.

After a bit of that they catch on and you can dangle your hand in their face all you want. They'll understand you are the food source and not a threat. Then you get to chill with them, since they are cold blooded they like cuddlinga with your warmth quite a bit. It's another rule of safety just don't let them get a coil around something like a leg or what have you.

Snakes are cool pets just pretty high maintenance. I could see this snake being even more lazy since it's so big, but moving it has to be a two man job.

I'm sure too people will be like "oh but you played 40 hours! It can't be that bad" but the first 10-15 are misery from a gameplay perspective, like you're just trying to level up to get more carrying capacity and get more combat options.

Going off the Twitter profile picture and nothing else, I'm guessing this is a self post. Because what a wild ass thing to suggest. Normal humans assume keys or coins.

"Make fun of me and my chastity cage please!"

How's it hidden? You to to the default app settings...

Or just install another browser and they'll walk you through it.

I find Windows way more egregious, it will allow you to set it but not really, half of anything you do will open edge and then they'll occasionally reset your default browser with bugger updates.

Yeah, I was lucky to get the crazy ass unemployment during covid like week one. And I was applying to jobs but not hearing shit back. I had essentially four months of making more money than I had at that point. ($900 a week is pretty goddamn good) and wanted a job super bad lol. Like I was definitely picky but a good fulfilling job can't be beat. You can only do hobbies so long before you're doing them to fill time and they loose luster.

Ended up learning programming in that time and started that as a career and am doing incredibly well. So I do love my job and know I'd rather do that than nothing

There's a shortage of it. They cant produce enough of it right now. So pretty prolific. Also it's an injection.

But there's online services that will let you get it for weight loss for like $200 a month and practically no push back because they are operating in a weird online pharmacy grey market. The Verge just did a big article about it. But that worked so well that company isn't doing it anymore because they caused a shortage and can't supply themselves.

 
 

Since we are all pirates moving away from Lemmy I was thinking if another r/Megalinks style community could be made on Lemmy and survive? (Or pehaps already exists?)

For those that don't know Reddit pirate history, r/megalinks was a sub where people shared links to megaupload usually for files for download. It was a very unique hub and usually had some rare stuff that downloaded quickly thanks to the uploaded service not being p2p. I actually still have a full back up of it that I'll check for stuff I can't find and they'll still be working.

But as Reddit got bigger posts kept getting hit with takedown requests until Reddit itself got sick of it and banned the community. Eventually the community there made Snahp, which is very good but it's private status makes it feel a bit small compared to the old megalinks sub in terms of available options.

Posting links is sort of a strange grey area, even more so than torrent hosting, But idk what the reality of having a community like that would be. Sure an instance owner can say "I won't care" but if it gets too big and the MPAA starts getting pissy, it might not be worth it to them. But with Lemmy's growth and services like Debrid existing now, it would be better than torrenting for the most part. (I also use UseNet yes, but it's not great for old or aging content)
