i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
sending people wikipedia articles is my favorite form of humor. one time a long time friend of mine asked why i was using a different name and acting different i sent him the wikipedia page for DID. ryder just asked me why its 108 degrees in nevada right now and i sent him the wikipedia page for global warming and the season of summer.
The people who sheltered Jews in hidden rooms and attics and basements during the Holocaust were breaking the law. The people who smuggled 7,000 Jews out of Denmark were breaking the law. Schindler was breaking the law. The Underground Railroad broke the law. Harriet Tubman broke the law. MLK broke the law. Hell, the fucking Boston Tea Party broke the law.
If saving friends and family and innocent people is breaking the law, break the law. If standing up for truth and justice is breaking the law, break the law.
The law is unjust. The law is morally wrong. Break the fucking law.
Throwback to that one time I went to a murder mystery Halloween party where we were given characters who correlated with colors and were told to dress in those colors and one dude showed up dressed as Ted Cruz
The vampire coffin making industry must be insane. You can’t go to a human carpenter for that. No human person needs a guaranteed light sealed coffin that can open from the inside. They also probably drop way more money than is reasonable into these things, it’s not like a vampire is gonna wanna replace their coffin every century or be caught dead in a shabby cheap one, but humans make coffins to be viewed exactly once, comfort not a factor, and then nailed shut and buried in the ground. Completely different goals
Anyway all this to say I am a carpenter, vampire-friendly, and I use the utmost discretion in conducting my business
