the cracker aesthetic was rad as hell and i miss it. everyone's obsessed with clean dumps and not leaving personal imprints on software now, and while there are great technical reasons to do all of that, it also means nobody gets to experience ascii skeletons giving them the middle finger while smoking a blunt anymore

ok now I’m curious which specific Netflix show you consider as important as the entirety of books, movies, sports and video games combined

like, seriously, what are the good Netflix shows?
I assumed you were using "netflix" as a stand-in for all the various streaming services that exist now as basically the only reasonable way to watch TV legally. I have absolutely no idea what shows are on which services because I just torrent everything. And the same factors apply to literally every form of media. If you can't buy direct from the person or people who actually made the thing, pirate it instead.

You can just lie down in a ditch and die. It's cheap, simple, and accessible to everyone (within reasonable proximity of a ditch)! If you can't find a ditch, other options are available.

There is non-poo poo music, non-poo poo books, non-poo poo movies. But there is nothing that isn't poo poo on Netflix. Or Twitter.

This is fine if you're talking about garage bands and public access shows but most modern media is too complex, too expensive, and has too many makers for this to even be a coherent idea.

I guess we can push for studios to be co-ops or something but right now the only folks who could possibly control their own modern, high-end, digital art enough to sell it directly are already the lovely capitalists you're trying to avoid.

To be clear I'm primarily talking about TV and movies here, but big budget video games and bands are similar

It’s not private security - one of the guys waiting called the cops for some reason 😂

Lol they’re calling all the numbers listed on a sheet and just figured out it was the hotel’s “Do not book room to” list 🤣

My key stopped working and I can’t get into my room. Same as another guest. 3 others are trying to check in. The staff walked out around +5 hours ago now - guessing due to lovely pay, lovely guests, lovely managers 🤷🏽‍♂️

An annoyed karen calls the cops and reports "there's nobody at this hotel to check me in!!!" and gets [at least] three officers responding, meanwhile I call them because I hear the upstairs neighbor drunkenly beating the poo poo out of his girlfriend in the middle of the goddamn day and they never even bother to show up.

MUBI used to be a cool forum to go talk about movies and maybe find obscure movies with no dvd release put up on a server somewhere so you could actually see it.

and then it destroyed its forums banished its userbase and started a business based around getting those rare movies' streaming rights and peddling them

it's super hosed and I'm still mad about it

This is the joke people always make when I share this but no they weren't, they were actually about 500 feet away in the adjacent building, and I know this because there's constantly a cop car parked in the no parking / fire truck zone over there.

Also the boyfriend who was doing the beating was some early-20's guy I'd occasionally see outside riding a skateboard, which is much too cool a thing for a cop to do

lmao at the attempts to hide that he was saying the quiet part loud and everyone knows it

quote:

“It is embarrassing. It really is,” said Scott Fischer, director of communications for Apple Central, which is based in Kansas City and has 47 Applebee’s restaurants in the Midwest.

He said Apple Central doesn’t have any policy about trying to use higher gas prices as leverage to lower the wages it pays new employees. Fischer said the idea hasn’t been discussed as a potential idea among the company’s top management either, in part, because it doesn’t make much sense.

“I know this probably sounds crazy, but I have no idea what this gentleman was even talking about,” Fischer said. “We are still scratching our head about what this gentleman was thinking.”

...

Fischer said he understood some of the comments about needing to accommodate schedules and keep a close eye on morale. But he said if that was the message the email was trying to convey, it failed.

“Our team is our backbone,” Fischer said. “We are nothing without the people who work for us and that are on our team. Even the thought that anything would be communicated that does anything other than put them on a pedestal and let them know they are the single most important component of our business is disheartening and frustrating.”
