Lol, the thread below this one starts with “So? Sure you can’t get rid of it but also you don’t have to use it.”

This is like if you’re renting an apartment and your landlord shows up to clear a clogged drain and whilst they’re in there they install a laundry chute to a room you don’t have access to.

You don’t pay for that room because you have no need for it and probably wouldn’t use it, but could if you want to. Or you can just deal with it being there. Or you can put something in front of the chute to hide it. But it’s an inconvenience having to do that and it wasn’t there when you moved in so you weren’t planning on having to deal with it.

Also, you’ve got no way of knowing if your landlord is in that room with their ear up to the bottom of the chute, listening to your conversations.

Yea, Windows users act like it’s some kind of immovable object that you just have to deal with and that they’re so smart because they spend hours applying some dodgy hack by wading through that god awful registry editor rather than just editing config files and having full control over their system. Oh no but then they’d have to open the terminal which is such a problem for them.

Spoken like a true Stockholm syndrome Windows user.

There’s a few DVDs I bought recently of movies that I couldn’t find anywhere. 50/50 about uploading them to a torrent site. I want to but is there any way it could be traced back to me?

Ah got ya. I think soldiers have to do something similar here in the UK. But we don’t do it in schools. That’s kind of weird if I’m honest.

I have Home Assistant on one and Kodi (Libreelec) on another

I have an uncle called Chris Hemsworth. He’s like 65 so I don’t know if he even knows the connection.

Breakfast on weekdays is peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.

Throughout the day I drink water flavoured by raspberries and blueberries.

Dinner (or lunch to the rest of the English speaking world, I’m from northern England) is a chickpea and mixed vegetable salad I prep for the week on Sunday.

Tea (main evening meal) is normally a pie or something breaded like a Kiev or fish served with chips (chunky fries) and mixed frozen vegetables. Then Greek yoghurt with mashed frozen raspberries and blueberries for dessert.

As a snack most days some digestive biscuits with a cup of tea (what’s normally called breakfast tea).

Saturdays I skip breakfast and have a bacon sandwich for dinner.

Once a month I order a huge calzone for tea on a Saturday (my local takeaway calls it the Monster, it has every kind of meat they serve in it) which I dunk in mayonnaise and pig out on whilst drinking a Doombar. Then I have another Doombar whilst smoking a cigar afterwards. Normally there’s enough calzone left for food the following day.

Ooh, gonna have to try that. I just do peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.

Yea, the logical next step is sadly for the streaming services to just buy the ISPs with the amount of money they have and lobby so they can block Torrent, Usenet and VPN traffic to stop piracy. Most people will keep paying for the services whilst there’s signs of this happening because they actually believe all the “you wouldn’t steal a car, so why would you steal the 9th shitty Star Wars spin off series” propaganda. Then they’ll block porn tube sites too, for the children of course. The first one to do it will get all of the Christians on-side immediately who will accuse the others of being evil and allowing such awful filth so the others will quickly follow suit. After time passes I’m sure they’ll bring out their own almost porn type content that will prove very popular. I could be wrong, but it’ll be interesting to see how things turn out.

Do you Americans actually still do that in schools?
