Outrail posted:Jiggling credit cards is dumb and stupid. I have one visa card I use for everything and pay it off once a month. I keep my chequing account bank at home, in case the visa gets lost. You’ll get back any overpayments as checks in the mail, and it’s very low-maintenance after you set it up. You can get free phone accident insurance and tons of discounts and a bunch of long-age lines in your credit history. Or don’t, who cares

pencilhands posted:Why are like 95% of online ads now related to treatments etc for having a small dick? I keep getting ads for this dating app that leans so heavily on the incel marketing. "Are you sick of ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE getting all the ladies while the DECENT MEN are dumped? Download our piece of poo poo software instead!" gently caress offfff.

Podcast Addict does everything I need it to do, and IIRC has a one-time purchase to make it ad-free.

You are getting dick and hair ads because your favorite podcasts listeners are men who’s dicks are most likely to be dud. In the pre viagra times the “get back in the groove” ads were Extenze, Ephedra, and h57 hoodia? Some weight loss supplement sourced somewhere in the African continent that surely also has horrible side effects.

I like downcast the most and it's not a subscription but it has no audio processing to make poorly recorded podcasts sound ok Overcast has the best processing but one of the worst UI imo. Pocket Casts has such a feature but it pales in comparison to Overcast.

The fact that we've gotten so many different podcast apps worries me. I'm surprised there isn't a titan here that everyone uses. If I migrate to another one it's gonna go away too!

AntennaPod (Android) is free and open source, so no ads or data collection (except those baked into the podcasts themselves), and if it dies, someone will fork it.

Podcasts are a scourge. Yeah let me waste a whole hour listening to some dipshit instead of reading for 5 minutes. Their only redeeming characteristic is that you have to deliberately seek them out, unlike when you're trying to read an article and instead there's a loving video.

Why watch a movie when I can just read the synopsis?!?! jfc lol Fair enough when it's a podcast with quality scripting, sound production, and editing. But when it's some jabroni going "Uhhhm" multiple times a sentence and nose-breath laughing into the microphone at his own jokes etc., gently caress that noise. Ditto for videos that stretch two paragraphs and three jpegs worth of useful information into ten-plus minutes of bullshit.

Why on earth would users want a search function. Just make them scroll through hundreds of episodes for a topic that might not be covered. Idiots.
