Man, I’ve said it before but it is so tempting to reblog good posts by habitual shitheads and add “rare [op url] w”

But I don’t play tumblr pvp mode so I just have to not reblog the post like some sort of normal person

*smirking* you couldn't waterboard that out of me, but even if torture was an effective method of information extraction and not a futile display of state-sanctioned sadism, the high percentage of false confessions it produces would mean that even if you could waterboard it out of me, could you even trust the veracity of my statement?

This is unbelievably evil.

as a pink lover. The ""universal""" hatred of the color pink by young girls is due to the heavy expectation of femininity forced on them. It is an expression of frustration at gender roles. It is not internalized misogyny. No you will not inevitably start liking pink as an adult and if you do that is not healing your inner divine feminine or whatever we're saying now. Its a color. 😁👍

i'm embarrassed to ask this but how does one go about pirating anything (and everything)? idk if you can even answer that with the way the internet is going but i am clueless and would very much like to not rely on garbage companies for books/music/movies/porn or risk losing content to further restrictions so any advice/direction is very appreciated

@testdevice and I have talked about a how to be a pirate stream and I hope that one day we can get to it (and that twitch wont ban us if we do!). In the meantime I would recommend checking out the r/Piracy subreddit and reading some of the information in their sidebar and pinned posts. A lot of it comes down to torrenting -- an age-old digital piracy practice that is honestly not that difficult to do but which I also put off a lot of the time because I didn't have the storage space. You really do just need a computer, an internet connection, and a spare storage drive of some size to get started, though.

Hell, if you don't want to torrent things, then you can even start archiving things by using shitty media ripping sites like youtube to mp3 or the like and just start saving a ton of music, videos, etc on a drive. If you want to archive something that is online, I guarantee you there is a website already devoted to it. There are sites for downloading images and videos off of instagram, archiving tweets, downloading youtube videos from the url, and so on. Just Google it and use an ad blocker and you'll be able to find ways to rip the media you want off the internet with very little technological know how.

Label that shit in as much detail as you can, store it in some organized folders, and you'll have the beginning of a modest little internet archive that you can share with others once you figure out how to torrent. you truly NEVER know when a piece of media will be taken offline or suddenly become very important for research or reporting -- I was just watching a youtube deep dive into Shane Dawson's early 2010's history and it relied upon someone having found a way to dig up old vlogs that he tried to scrub from the internet years ago. that stuff is valuable to history because it shows what was normalized on Youtube at the time! some of those archives are the only proof that people have that they were preyed upon as young fans of this person!

so even something as simple as ripping random videos and songs that you like can have a ton of value. start small, work your own particular little niche, and every time you run into a problem, THAT IS A CHANCE TO BUILD A NEW SKILL! which is great.
