It is the single best demonstration of the damage cocaine does to people. Before there was “this is your brain on drugs”, there was the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Watch it with your children so that they think “Holy crap, if this is what people come up with on coke, I never want to even try the stuff!”

Ctrl+f: “holiday special” - Phrase not found.

This thread epic fail.

“Police our streets, not our tweets.”

With heavy emphasis on the “our”. I’d wager that if someone tweeted “the only good Tory is a dead Tory”, they’d be up in arms.

Fair point, I hadn’t thought of that.

Is it unironic that he posts this on YouTube, one of the platforms most responsible to sending people down the far-right rabbit hole?

So now we finally know what is Leela’s “homeworld”: Planet Smoothie!

Crewed by transgenic mice!

Just off the top of my head:

1. Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar’s value
4. Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
5. Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
7. OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world’s entire content.

Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.

Probably a representation of the legend of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, when many ancient works were presumed lost forever.

Yeah, I too remember there was some anger but not the reason for it. Licensing issues, maybe? Anyway, with the kerfuffle, bloat, and Java requirement, it didn’t have enough to keep me from µTorrent.

Also been using qBittorrent for the last few years, on Windows and the last two years on Linux. With search plugins for key sites, so I can avoid the popups that even uBlock Origin can’t prevent.

(Due to an unpatched security vulnerability in the repo version of qB, currently using AppImages of latest versions of both qB and qB-enhanced. Only difference I personally notice is that qB-enhanced follows my system theme, dark.)

You’re welcome :)

re OT question: I remember trying out Azureus a bit back in the day, and with its “legit content distribution” section getting to watch this video:

YouTube - Benny Benassi - Satisfaction

But I didn’t stick with it, mainly used µTorrent and eMule.

So sad this is necessary now.

Or hosted in a way that is itself P2P? Like IPFS or ZeroNet?

Two decades torrenting in Mexico (also periods of eMule and Soulseek), never a problem. No VPN, no seedbox, no Tailscale.

(ISP: Telmex Prodigy Infinitum.)

You shouldn’t have opened that box! It was clearly for “I.C. Wiener”.

What about a dumb TV with a Roku Xpress?
