Nothing changed with Helldivers. The game is still blocked in over 100 countries and people who rightfully purchased the game still can not play it. Sure we don't have to create an account, but that was annoying -not an actual issue. The real issue was thousands of people suddenly losing access to their game because Sony wants conversion.

Sony made a social media post. They didn't fix shit. But now the backlash is gone and the countries are still blocked, they can silently reinstate the bullshit in 3 months time.

Are we talking easier than Plex+ VPN and torrent? My buddy can access all his content anywhere he can login to Plex. It just means pre-downloading.

Genuinely curious if it's worth giving up an already setup Plex server to look into this.

The linked wiki page mentions enforcement is rare, but reading on it does detail they have enforced the law. They did this by killing the man AND the child he was raping. That does sound like a fun time for all involved, I would love to visit!

If these creatures can experience pain in the same conceptual way we do: they painfully clipped the ants legs and they didn't return them to normal. Those ants were in hell.

Else: it was painless and the ants still had stump legs for the rest of their existence.

Which is why the meme is "Haha funny tall ants are dumb" instead of the slightly less fun "Ants without legs are confused af"

You are only as safe as you let yourself be.

I've had no issues with most of the sites in the mega thread, and if you utilise a bit of common sense you should be fine.

Get a VPN, download Malwarebytes and check the torrent comments before you download anything. New torrent with zero comments and no way for you to verify? If it's not a site you have grown to trust, give it a miss for a week. Even if you do trust the site, if something in your head says "this isn't right", just wait or find an alternative.

Most other content is easy because hiding malware inside of a movie torrent is more difficult and easier to detect. Games require you to pay a bit of attention because I can name any malware I want "setup.exe" and a lot of people will mindlessly open it expecting a game to install.

For what it's worth, I used FitGirl when I was a student and didn't have any troubles with her packs. Not sure if anything has changed in the last ~4 years though.

This hellhole (affectionate)of a site is made better by the belief that you are the actual Margot Robbie and spend your off time trolling. God speed!

Government has started subsidising our Rooways ever since the alert on Dropbears was reduced (their population has been decimated by bushfires and land clearing).

I'm shocked other countries don't do it, it's a cheap and effective method of transport, and the fuckers are everywhere!

Not just companies. Governments. I know of entire governmental departments that run exclusively off of a M$ environment. People who deal with capital C Confidential information are backing it up into OneDrive. It's lunacy.

If Julian Assange dies in prison, I would think he no longer has rights and any artwork he has created can be freely destroyed without fear of litigation, especially if it is privately owned.

Seriously. What does artwork have to do with Julian Assange? I don't think he should be in prison but this is an odd protest.

Thats a great thought but I don't think so. It dries into a sticky shell that collapsed into itself when I poked it.

It has a similar consistency to a spider egg sac. The top three appeared a couple of weeks ago and the others have been popping up throughout the day while I'm at work. If it's a sick wasp, it's a bloody persistent one.

That one question "If you woke up tomorrow with 100 million dollars, what would you do to improve your life right now?" Is very powerful. My first response was "Pay off all my debt".

The second most powerful question is: "What else?"

What else would you do after your debts are paid? What else would make you happy once you don't HAVE to work? What else would you do now you are debt free and have the time you need to enjoy life? What else fulfills you?

By the time I hit the 3rd/4th "What else?" I realised what I was actually needing. In my specific case it was a creative outlet that I had been neglecting for years. I would remind myself daily about that one goal and, thought it took me 3 weeks, I eventually managed to pull out my guitar and start playing again.

2 years later and I'm sucking at guitar daily and going for runs. I have remade connections with people I thought were lost and genuinely started enjoying the little bits of life I have made. Debt is still there and work is relentless, but my 30min with my guitar has become a grounding point where I can remind myself "Things will get better, incrementally. What else can I do to make the little things better?"

Apologies about the wall of text. Depression is the worst version of ourselves and I hope OP can get through it.

There's a lot of money in nostalgia these days. I agree. He's made the intelligent decision and we should be seeking to uphold the nostalgia momentum he's generated.
