I was half way through the third episode and it dawned on me that I just don’t care. The story isn’t engaging. There had been like 5 minutes of monster hunting which was the best bit. I like the main 4 actors but they’re not doing anything with them.
I might slog through a few more episodes but idk if I can be arsed finishing it.
I just check 1337x’s trending torrents for movies and TV most days when I turn my computer on. Works well enough for me unless it’s a much smaller show. I didn’t notice What We do in the Shadows was back for 3 weeks because not enough people DL it for it to be in the top 100.
I’ve only got a out 1.5tb but if I ditched Netflix I’d need to download 10+ shows with hundreds of episodes. I’ve already got a few 6+ season shows on my Plex but it’s mostly 1-2 season newer shows because everything has segregated so much in the past few years. If you don’t have Disney+ and want to see all the marvel shit, it’s adding up quick. It’s not like I’m rewatching all this stuff, I have 300 movies and rewatch one or two maybe once a year. I just keep everything because it’s not very expensive to me. If I need more space I’ll drop £100 and have storage for the next 5+ years.
Then there’s the people who download 25gb 4k movies and shit, I will occasionally but I don’t like to do it.
I sub for the skip intros alone, turns out it affects everyone who watches on your server which is great.
I don’t really utilise any other aspects of Plex Pass but £4 isn’t much to me and Plex is insanely useful to me.
Celebrities with obscene amounts of money is like 1% of actors. Most of them are just Joe shmoes in the background. Actors should get their fair share, I think it’s pretty simple, even famous people have been sharing the low amounts they make from streaming.
At least celebrities really only get paid what the market dictates and actually provide joy/entertainment to the people that willingly give them money. 100% of CEO’s exploit to make their billions - and they’ll never get replaced, they “need” to be in charge, replace everyone else though, they like how cheap it is.
Had completely forgotten about this and was wondering why it had been so long since I’d seen new R&M. This explains a lot.
It’s probably a case where Russia could attack Poland’s forces in Belarus but attacking Polish soil would involve article 5.
Podcasts on what? I listen to most of my podcasts on YouTube so sponserblock takes care of that.
Have you tried listening to them on YouTube? I find most people I want to listen to upload them there too.

Most of it is contained to Reddit related communities, just block them if you don’t want to see the downfall of Reddit in real time.
I just sleep like shit, 23 and wake up most nights to pee, then a couple times just because and I’ll stay awake an hour or so each time. I fucking hate my body.
I was able to uninstall all those preinstalled apps with my Redmi note 10, maybe something changed with the newer models.
I’ll be a bit scared doing that, with all the instances I’ve been thinking how easy it will be to have malware links. How is shi.t.justwo.rks or whatever less random than a malicious link?
Sure, if you’re studying the effects of social media, you’ll have to go on it. That’s not what we’re talking about though. Kids aren’t needing to communicate through social media with other “researchers” at school. Not sure why you’re equating school children to scientist doing actual first hand research, school projects are almost always second hand information, from the research papers, even if they’re about social media.
But let’s not kid ourselves, 99% of what students used YouTube for was timewasting. I didn’t like it when I was at school but I recognise blocking YouTube was easier than monitoring every kids computers at school to make sure they’re working.
They’re meant to be using link aggregators like Google Scholar to find papers, not Facebook. Definitely not TikTok.
And idk what it’s like in your country but the vast majority of research for school here was done at home for homework, where you can watch all the “lectures” you want. Kids just look at dumb shit when they’re at school so they don’t have to work. They also don’t have time to be watching hour long lectures in class. You really don’t need access to social media sites at school.
Imagine thinking I’m on a high horse because I understand kids like wasting time. Give me one good reason someone would need to use TikTok for school purposes. XD
I’m not sure when you graduated, but YouTube has never and will never be considered a valid source. You need to be looking at research papers, studies, newspaper articles and shit. At best the YouTube video might have sources in it’s description and then you reference those sources, not youtube.
Yeah, but the looming threat of being eaten might change their minds a little bit.
“It’s about sending a message”
Time wasting sites like YouTube or TikTok have been blocked in schools for as long as I can remember.
I’m more addicted to my phone, it’s just lemmy is what’s easiest to continuously scroll through at this point.
Nope.
Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver’s Chroncal’s of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.
I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there’s parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.
