Dude, I'm glad to know someone else who does this because I've got it set up too this way. I've got 3 monitors in my apartment, two of them are for PC that are spread apart (because I found that my attention seems to not work well when they're close together) and I have a TV in the center of the living room. I have an HDMI cable going from PC to that TV while the other ports are taken from DVI-Displayport adapters from the other monitors.

I can watch any streaming service I want with next to no ads, as it was intended and should be intended.

Transformers, the Bay ones.

You can argue that the very first one was an honest attempt. But things immediately goes down hill once you get to Revenge of the Fallen. And it just doubles down and doubles down every entry that you would think it is a contest of how many stupid ideas can they get away with and do get away with per entry. I got off at Dark of the Moon because I've seen enough stupid that I didn't care of the other ones.

The Hobbit Trilogy

If you continued on, like I did, into the trilogy of this series, you'll know. An unnecessary, shoe-horned angle of a dwarf and a elf affection. I don't need to say more.

I prefer these questions than anyone going here and thinking people have all of the answers to the freaking universe. I mean there's instances where you could go for those kinds of questions, but because people are obliviously lazy, they wound up here.

Why do you come here to ask us whether or not you think you're an asshole in a scenario involving people we don't know and we expect to understand your life's story?

Why do you come here asking us twenty tech support questions that could've easily been answered with google searches?

Why do you come here asking us something with the context of something only you would know?

It's greatly insulting, mind-numbing and uninteresting to even entertain a single question of those.

Services that still bother touting the whole 'up to' practice.

You're never guaranteed anything, you just deal with what the service decides to give you. Internet especially, if you're always getting less than the speed advertised - oh well - they said 'up to' which to them means, you'll get it on a good day but every other day, deal with what's there.

You can die from teeth issues, you need teeth to properly digest food with since you chew on it, people really do judge you a lot on whether you have good teeth, attractive teeth is important, nobody likes bad breath, nobody likes yellowed teeth .etc

And it is stupidly expensive to deal with.

"What would you do if you had a million dollars?"
"What would you do if you could pursue your passion if money wasn't an issue?"
"What would you do if you won the lottery?"

Fuck all money-based questions. Do you want to know what I'd do with so much money? Just give me it and you'll see. Otherwise, piss the fuck off. I don't spend all of my time, daydreaming of having lots of wealth when I know, I'm never going to see it.

"What's your deepest and darkest secret?"

Why the fuck would you ask me such a question? Whose business is it of yours, to know what my secrets are? It is simply for blackmail or for you to get your rocks off, knowing you have sensitive information on someone. And if anyone answers these questions honestly, you're a fucking dumbass.

Usually, no. If I'm going to rinse them, then mind as well wash them by hand at that point.

The only things that should never be in the dishwasher are chunks or unfinished stuff.

Watches

I never saw the point of them. I don't see the problem with analog or digital watches. Everything is regressed to a tiny square of a screen, that you barely look at. I just find it as an unnecessary distraction.

Light Bulbs

I work in retail and I stock these things all of the time. We have light bulbs, that are smart now because why? They're stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.

Kitchen Appliances

I'm bundling them all here.

There is nothing you're gaining an advantage of, when slapping a screen on any appliance and relying on some unsupported app on your phone for basic functions.

Anyone who still approves of this moron's idea of 'presidency', are just cynical jesters who want to watch people suffer under the pressures.

[-] Pyrixas@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

Well it's evolved from that point now.

It's about pressing the right buttons. And we've seen that in complete demonstration. When people were complaining, of all things, about egg prices. Guess what some candidates focused on? Egg prices and how they'll promise to lower them, despite having no understanding or care as to why they were high in price to begin with.

So if you press that button to that crowd, you'll get the idiocy of that crowd to go for you. And this applies to generally any issue from any party.

It's not working for Miruro or AnimeKai.

Not about whether they're read, but the long list of comments and posts? Seems tedious having to get rid of them one by one.

I'm going to need to see evidence of this because China has been making numerous bold claims of what it produces, but they don't go into that much depth or has developed anything to demonstrate that claim.

To narrow it down, it has to be something you will not forgive a country for doing for the rest of your life. Alternatively, you can feel something in great disdain towards the whole world, like what you see universally done or know of.

Mine would be and I strongly use this word because of the practice associated to it, but, the raping of information.

And I say that because it is astonishingly appalling just how distorted information has gotten. With how modern day journalism has been to even half-baked Wikipedia articles that aren't detailed. Even historical accounts aren't entirely safe because they just get revised and re-written at a moment's notice to fit particular narratives or perspectives of others.

The lines of lies and truths are completely blurred, only registered by particular contexts or levels of convenience. It burns my mind up to think some of the time, as to what I should take in for information that isn't just for a purpose of study. I'm so jaded towards anything, I take everything projected with contempt.

I use Librewolf, alternatively, Floorp, so I wonder if there's anything I can use on them to download videos with.

And I plan on using them on sites similar to hianime, but I'm tired of like, finding one stream and it dies, then having to go find another .etc

I want to save my favorite series so I can have something to watch reliably than something that is operating on uncertainty.

Any ideas?

For me, I never thought I'd see my 20s. Because growing up, I was a very unhealthy overweight kid and teenager growing up. I had heard of people not making it to their young adult lives because of being plagued by numerous health issues, being overweight one of them.

Well, Mr.White, if you'd like, you can find how awesome it'd be to be in the frontlines. Go on forth and never duck for any cover, you'll gladly take the first bullet fired at you.

Whether it's radio or retail that are played by the most inane and vanilla of DJs possible with no taste or other means.

The Cure - Lovesong. Thanks to my store's shitty radio selection, this song plays like 2 - 3 times at a given night. Can't stand it.

Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution. The only time I enjoy this song, is if I'm watching the music video anymore and quite frankly, I do recommend watching the music video to this song. But, it's overplayed to me now.

Huey Lewis and the News - Power of Love. This really does break my heart, because I love Huey Lewis and the News, but it's steadily getting up there to being so overplayed that I can't stand it.

AC/DC - Back in Black. Fuck, every god damn commercial, movie trailer and what have you, has killed this song for me.

Any Queen Song. Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, you name it, overplayed to where I can't be bothered to listen to them on my own to enjoy.

Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight. I tie this song to the Hangover, in the scene where the guys meet Mike Tyson and he stops them to listen to his favorite part. But, the more times I've heard this song, the enjoyment I've had is out the window.

The Offspring - Come Out and Play. Loved it a lot back then, it was a symbol of the 90s, now its a symbol of being overplayed.

Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike. Of all of the songs and bands, they have to abuse this one. It's also fucking ironic that they play this song, considering its meaning. I'm waiting to hear something from Rage Against the Machine or KMFDM just to stir the irony pot some more that some corporate entity is blasting songs from bands that are against them.
