At this point I can't really afford to be picky, so any invite is a welcome one. So I can actively avoid using it, of course.......

Of course. It is/was my favorite purely based on the design of the front page.

Where to now? (feddit.nl)

Looks like my favorite torrent-site is shutting down in not too long. It's an invite-only site that I've been using for well over a decade, so I'm a bit at a loss as to where to go. Any suggestions? I mainly use it for tv shows and movies.

I prefer to stay away from public trackers, and I prefer sites that focuses on users who keeps a decent ratio.

Disclaimer: I am of course asking this purely as a hypothetical scenario, as piracy is illegal, and I merely want to know which sites to avoid.

UPDATE: I've gotten a few invites that should serve my needs. Thanks for helping!

Linux user of 20ish years here. I run Mint with cinnamon on my desktop PC - sometimes I just want stuff to work out of the box.

Had the same issue for my nvidia 4060. I just installed a kernel manually which allowed me to run a new enough driver.

Let's be awkward together. Sure, why not.

Same. It doesn't help that I don't like discord.

You and me both, and I don't even live anywhere near to the U.S.

Is it twice per Blio or every other Blio, though?

I'm wondering the same thing about Bible. Does it mean twice per Ble or every other Ble?

 

Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

 

To summarize, this scandinavian comedy trio from the 90's made a parody of Miami Vice. This being 90's scandinavia, you can probably guess that the actors/comedians didn't exactly have the melanin-credentials of parodying the black guy from Miami Vice, so one of them instead wore blackface (well, brownface would perhaps be a better description, due to the color tone).

As far as I can recall, the skit didn't really make race much of a punchline, except from when they're fixing their hair before the final showdown (which one of course have to do, this being a Miami Vice parody), and the white guy asks the black guy to borrow some hair gel but gets the response: (roughly translated) "I'm black, I don't use hairgel. I use chocolate pudding."

So yeah, asking because I'm a middle aged extremely white guy, and I found this skut funny as shit when I was a kid, and I stumbled across it recently, and I got curious.

EDIT: Found it. Turns out it's from 1989. https://youtu.be/GDpLUXtA-4M
I can't be arsed translating, because in retrospect it's not really that good, but you can see the blackface and its origin in the beginning.
