Moneybags over here affording one beer at a bar in 2024.

Reminds me of this but it might be the artist's version of jersey devil or the chupacabra.

This is a recent one that came up, but this happens every few months. If payment processors just did their jobs there wouldn't be as much of a need for other ways to do transactions. It's also still a pain in the ass to send money to individuals in other countries even when everything works the way it's intended.

Cornucopias were not a commonly seen thing in my region or most regions of the world. We have fruit bowls instead. In the 00s a lot of people had fake fruit in a big bowl just for decoration since it was such a trend. I saw fruit bowls a lot more than I ever saw cornucopias. But nobody talks about the missing bowl. I didn't even know what cornucopias were called for a long time. Funny thing is I thought they were called looms because when I was learning to read I got fixated on the text in logos and spent a long time staring at that one. I remember looking at my underwear tag while shitting and thinking "wtf is a loom? It must be that cone thing the fruit is coming out of." That's what makes it weird, the consistency of it plus the amount of people who have actual memories associated with the cornucopia.

Ask Jeeves already started sucking when they got rid of Jeeves himself. They lost sight of what was important.

Yeah it's called Temu. You'll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

I don't get how someone can worry about this when they're in a relationship. There's clearly nothing that wrong with them if they have living proof of the opposite standing right there.

I always went to soulseekqt.net which I guess is just an alias. I feel like I've been in some kind of weird bubble.

I've never seen that abbreviation for it before. What you see in search results depends on who's accounts are online so keep checking every once in a while. My other suggestion is if you use qbittorrent, it actually has a torrent search that I think is disabled for legal disability or something.

Just use soulseek or something

Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don't use google's other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don't remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.

I finally have a reason to share this wikipedia article which contains the phrase "sire of dark ronald"

 
 

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what's considered piracy and what isn't. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that's somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not piracy either. Torrenting an album is piracy, but listening to a bootleg on YouTube isn't.

YouTube noticed this at some point and is now happy to let everyone know how much pirated music is available on their site. One of their main points for shilling YouTube premium is how their music catalogue is way better than Spotify. Of course the piracy site has more. That's always how it works. Spotify actually has to license the music on their platform and is subject to copyright law. They can't just get the Neil Young discography from soulseek one day and wait until his estate notices, facing no repercussions whatsoever aside from agreeing to a takedown request. Imagine if Pirate Bay or Napster were considered completely above-board businesses just because they took down torrents if explicitly requested by the copyright holders.

Not that I'm complaining especially when a lot of the music on youtube isn't publicly accessible anywhere else. It's just been extremely strange to see this go from an "open secret" to something they're shouting from the rooftops and face no repercussions for. In the future I want everything to be like that and I'd rather keep youtube how it is than see them get the punishment that by all rights they should be getting. It's just so strange that this is the position things have ended up in.
