My childhood home only has dialup Internet. First year at college I found out someone ran a DC++ instance on the network and it was over from there. I got a 2tb HDD because I had to, and could, download enough movies/shows to last me the summer. I stopped for a while when I moved out and actually had broadband, but then Netflix stopped being Netflix and became $NFLX, and with all the other services popping up I heard the call of the seas again

This is Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). I recommend "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton

It helped me to realize that a federal government that's in control of their own money doesn't use or even have money, and basic terms that we take for granted mean something different in that context. A federal government creates money through spending and destroys money through taxes. It is necessary for a federal government to spend money in order for money to exist in the economy. So a national debt just means that the federal government is creating more money that is destroying

I got into TorrentLeech and MAM with the intention of building reputation and getting into a better tracker, but frankly I've never needed to take that extra step. If I can't find something on TL I can make a request and someone will have it uploading within a day or two, but I've only ever had to do that with obscure stuff like Pros vs Joes

Fair. But isn't complaining about gas prices America's largest export?

Just checked some other countries and it seems like Canada is the only one that breaks this general pattern, though it's obviously not rigorous research

Edit: Also, I don't really care. I was just venting some frustration to The Internet

This is some boomer nonsense. I can't find 2 sources that seem to agree on specific numbers, but several sources, and my personal experience, agree that gas prices peaked in 2008 after the one two punch of Katrina and the housing market collapse

I started driving in 2006 and bought my first car in 2008 and I can confidently say that I'm paying less for gas now than I was when I started driving and I'm not even talking about adjusting for inflation. Are prices too high? Yeah, probably. But this "then vs now" shit just ain't true

Such as? Not doubting, I just want to know

I'd love a smartwatch that, along with telling time, is just a screen that shows me my notifications and a button to pause my music.

TikTok has video controls. Tap to pause/play. And there's a progress bar you can drag to seek. Instagram and YouTube shorts are much more difficult to control

Edit: you can even hold either edge of the screen to speed up the video in TikTok. And a 2 finger hold hides the caption and interface
