The “Semiosis” series. Just finished the second part, the third was published a few weeks ago.

SPRICH

It’s making ADP into ATP iirc, right?

So you stole it? How dare you! You wouldn’t kidnap a child!

Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.

The war on Christmas…

Isn’t Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

Sure, there are ways but I honestly don’t see the benefit now that streaming is fast. I want to watch a movie or series once and don’t need to own it, especially since I can restream it or download it from the streaming site

It was the goto streaming site back then. We all learned out lesson once it was down. I looked it up and it was online from 2008 to 2011, feels longer for me but I was torrenting alot before that. German law is strict on torrenting so streaming is the way to go here.

Your analysis fits neatly into what the book Because Internet describes as different waves of “internet people”. First were geeks who went there before it was mainstream, second us millennials growing up as it is getting mainstream, alongside older folks forced to use it at work or voluntarily at home. Third wave are GenZ growing up when everything is easy already and, ironically, also even older folks now that it’s accessible for them.

Boy, I remember how desperate all of Germany was when kino.to went down. It took at least a week until everyone found an alternative!

I honestly didn’t know what I was implying but I like your interpretation

Don’t remind me of that… but you are right thought, I did fall victim to one of the classic blunders

Remindes me of when I, a fool, fell victim to one of the classic blunders

Communism is when you collect stones to build a bridge

i think you might have dropped your “/s” homie.

Damn, I really thought I didn’t need it. It kind of ruins the joke and I thought I made it clear enough

You should be careful! I mean this sounds logical, but taken to the extreme, it would mean that you judge people who are racist and actively support genocide even though they are always nice to you (assuming you are white). Do you really want that?

I remember watching a video about that. The thing is that gifted kids don’t learn learning. It’s all easy to them until it is not and at that point, all the others have learned techniques for memorizing and stuff but the gifted kid never sat at the homework for any reasonable length

I’m fine with illusion. Nothing is real anyway
