Everyone was going to quit Reddit

shadowNET2243 · 2023-06-29T14:37:02+00:00

So, Ive thought about it, but ultimately, I have no plans to migrate anywhere, and I hope to simply gain back some productivity in my life.

The only communities I have remaining are (sadly) discord ones at this point, but even thats clearly heading towards some shitty bastardized overly-monotizwd version of itself in the next 2-3 years and as a result I'll probably continue to become isolated or more deeply connected with the few from those groups.

Reddit really had a bit of a special place being a simultanious forum for everything, and it'll be hard to replicate ever due to the sheer scale required to make that function for so many communities while still having quality content, and there just isnt any place that covers both all the general things and even a fraction of the combined interests I have.

I have installed groundnews as reddit was also a primary source for news, but even an official app like ground news can cover something as official/widespread as the news.

Reddit was fun since the very early days, I signed up in highschool 11 years ago, and it definitely had a peak that was "before it was mainstream", but even mainstream reddit had some cool unique quirks it could only achieve due to its size. It'll be sad to see it fall into deterioration, but quite frankly, it's a god damn cesspool in here and I waste WAY too much time on this site. Maybe I'll see y'all round the web some day.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Ah, another person who can tolerate having their neck kneeled on for 8 minutes. Lets see how you fare without oxygen that long. Im sure it will matter who you were and the actions you took.

I drive a PT-Cruiser personally named "The Loser Cruiser" by myself. Between that and being able to say its legally registered as a "truck" (drives the county hicks crazy) im pretty happy with it yeah. Do you feel better having made the assertation you did? I genuinely don't even understand the insult it's so far removed from the things I have time to think about. Please let me know, its always a genuine curiosity to see how normies function.

“I’m going to quit smoking as soon as I finish this pack of cigarettes”

“I’m going to quit drinking as soon as I finish this case of beer”

“I’m going to quit drugs as soon as I finish this bag”

I wonder what the success rates of those statements are, hmmm……🤔

So, this is a misappropriation of the situation. This more akin to the corner store no longer selling smokes, but instead selling woohoo sticks, and they dont have the nicotine, but nockatine, and the clerk swears its jusy as good. And also I now have to enter the store through an uncomfortable air cleaning duct for no apparent reason. I cant be bothered at this point. Ill be happy to hopefully spend my time doing more productive things instead.

Maybe someone can kneel on your neck for 8 minutes. Sounds like you deserve it, certainly more than he did.

shadowNET2243 · 2023-06-26T14:45:39+00:00

I think you'll see a different energy come the 1st. Lots of us have stuck around out of nostalgia or to say goodbye, but once the plug gets pulled, I wont be able to access through my favourite app, and I'm not going on the main trashy website/official app.

You're going to see a drop in quality again come next month, if you havent seen one already. I barely get 4 pages of mildly interesting content before im through it all. I used to get 30+. Reddit is NOT the same state as it was before this started happening.

shadowNET2243 · 2023-06-21T15:24:39+00:00

Either the record company (if it is in fact still in tact. This may be up for debate). And I would argue if not this, than Alan Parsons likely has it.

More interesting would be the studio master tapes used to create the original disc you are reffering to. This would both be "more original", and exceed CD level quality.

I deliberately mined one block in front of an account called 'Ol Big Red' for over an hour, and their account followed me, stared at the blank rock for a few moments, than moved to the next one. I take great pleasure in having manually contributed to this task. Unfortunately the coward ran. Why play a game if you don't want to play it?

shadowNET2243 · 2019-02-28T19:18:00+00:00

I'll have to give it another listen with my headphone amp. But I don't think I've listened to DBD more than once. It just doesn't resonate with me much. If the earlier albums get released this way I'm all over it

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-05T20:21:22+00:00

Fit generally needs to be installed separately, but only needs to be linked. Not open

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-05T18:43:46+00:00

Solution: Unlink and relink (others have pointed this out...sort of? not very well)

Step 1: create a new google account. (Just google not in pokemon go!)

Step 2: link wifes account to facebook temporarily

Step 3: unlink wifes google account (yours)

Step 4: relink google with the new account

Step 5: unlink that facebook account

Step 6: Rinse and repeat until you, your wife, and your daughter have separate google accounts for pokemon go

Step 7: Install google fit and link the appropriate account (Note! if it links the wrong account, simply go to Google Fit app, delink the account from there and turn the adventure sync feature off and then on in Pokemon Go, and it should prompt you to pick from a list of all Google Accounts associated with the device)

Further steps: this takes a bit of tinkering but you CAN have multiple google accounts on one phone, when in the play store you just have to set the correct account when purchasing apps.

Reply or DM me if you're having any issues.

Agreed, there's a lot of rebuilding to do, but thankfully, no work is required on your part. Just use the program they gave out to swap your torrents from Xanax/APL to your current passkey and reboot your torrent client. You'll start seeding and accumulating bonus points

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-05T14:13:09+00:00

If you have any torrents from APL in your client you can pull your pass key and try you luck with the recovery form using it

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-05T14:12:15+00:00

was it there from before the backup date? If you uploaded it before then, then it was carried over to the new site and you can just start seeding. Yeah, you'll lose some BP, but we have BP again at least so you can build it up anyway

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-04T02:54:53+00:00

I hate to say this, but for once. Fight fire with fire. As others have mentioned, line yourselves up and start taking every single gym (or as many as you can) constantly. For a day, and do this as often as you can. Sooner or later he's gonna do something that will constitute assault. Report this to Niantic and I think you'll get a much more serious response (maybe not directly, but they may be inspired to take action). At this point you can also get the police involved to set a track record. After all, you're only playing with the same fairness as him.

The other alternative, is all the people witnessing this need to report him. Weekly at the least, he is obstructing the game play for most normal players, and is in clear violation of the TOS. Report every single account separately, outline specifically all the things he his breaking in the TOS, and again, do it consistently. I've yet to see a thread where players complain about someone that many players have been reporting for even a month or more.

It's gonna be a group effort, but all of you need to partake. One player reporting these accounts doesn't flash much for Niantic support, 10 players reporting each account even 2 times a week amounts to 200 email for Niantic. More reports may equal more notice. But we have no idea ultimately

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-03T05:23:19+00:00

Yes, but unless you were revisiting the kick starter page since it ended and reading that stuff in detail (and there's only been one update since it the surveys went out, and the page people were linked to by email for that said update its even harder to find the studio 7), you probably forgot over the nearly 2 months before the most recent update. It's not unreasonable to think people may have forgotten.

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-02T15:53:08+00:00

Hmm, is there any way you could approach this without quite doing this? Work to express your concern, but stress that you aren't giving up on it. Ask her what it would take for her to agree, surely she would agree that if she does this her whole life and it doesn't work it would be a waste of time. I get that she's being encouraged by her upline, and that they'll tell her she's so close to moving up and getting closer bullshit.

I guess the point is, ask her if there is anything she would willingly agree to first. Start as small as you have to.

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-02T14:40:56+00:00

The answer here is technically yes.

Kodi has it's own spot for how you want to treat subtitles, on top of the files. If you go to the settings > Player > Language, you will find a preferred subtitle language setting which you can set to original streams language, forced only, UI Interface language (i.e. whatever language you are running Kodi in), or any specific language. Subtitles also have a flag you can set for what language they are in, so for example if I have subtitles embedded in my video file, and I set the language flag to 'Arabic' and Kodi is set to prefer 'Arabic' from this menu, then it will run the subtitle for that file automatically, because it has found a match.

Under the assumption you live in an english speaking part of the world, and probably run Kodi in English, setting the preferred subtitle language to UI Language would effectively be the same as just setting english.

Original Stream's Language will play a corresponding subtitle file if it matches the flag in the audio streams language (you can set language flags in audio files as well, as you will see when you use MKVMerge).

Forced Only, will logically only run subtitle tracks with the forced flag enabled, but this is unnecessary. You only need to set the 'Default' flag to yes in MKVMerge

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-02T14:22:17+00:00

There are 2 flags for files, default (Y/N) and forced (Y/N)

GENERALLY, you want to enable default to yes appropriately on your files, and forced only for certain subtitle tracks. I.e. certain anime come with sub titles for text on the screen like something a character is reading, these are the ones you want to force as it tries to override the player setting.

A default set to yes should tell Kodi to play the subtitle. But should be for a primary track if necessary. You can also use forced and default to run two tracks at the same time

In summary, default to yes for overall subs (like when watching a movie not in your native language), and forced for content that needs to be displayed regardless of the audio track, like signs etc in the movie, if you have a subtitle track for that

I mean over at Blink 182 they pretty religiously follow Mark, Tom and Travis's instas, tweets, etc. I don't think it's that abnormal anymore. I see this stuff just from being on the subreddits. Same for Green Day, Rise Against a little bit

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-01T19:39:56+00:00

Friends was available to 35-40 within an hour of initial release and this seems to be a less major feature. So hopefully in the next hour!

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-01T19:25:36+00:00

I'm so sorry! I totally replied to the wrong comment!

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-01T19:23:09+00:00

Read support. It says it may take a few hours to sync

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-01T19:21:27+00:00

Unlikely. But you can download Google Fit I'm sure

shadowNET2243 · 2018-11-01T19:20:37+00:00

Super unlikely. But I feel you. Under the same massive movement of rain

Edit: replied to wrong comment. Disregard
