By the grace of God and our monarch we boil water however the fuck we please 🇬🇧💂🇬🇧💂🇬🇧

You’ve missed the way that British people actually boil water though, thus missing the true reason that we’re superior.

The worst is when you’re running low on data and then happen to get disconnected from Wi-Fi without realising.

A couple of YouTube videos and it’s all gone 😞

Where they at tho?

We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.

I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀

That’s like absolutely nothing to YouTube to be fair

Working in IT, the occasional “this might be a problem in a few years, but I probably won’t be with the company 🤷‍♂️”

Did video piracy ever really falter?

Even semi popular movies and shows are always available in a range of qualities, going up to extremely high quality if you get on a private tracker.

Rarbg shutting down was the biggest hit imo, but still lots of options.

Not directly related, but they switched me from Virgin Mobile to O2 after their merger. Fucking nightmare, despite them telling me that I don’t need to do anything.

Broke the direct debit, they set me up with an account that will not accept a password even after a reset, then I ran out of data as the new service has different usage notifications that threw me off.

I shortly after cancelled the sim, and dreaming of the day I can switch ISP.

That’s fair.

You could argue that it’s worth the money to get better results and avoid Google, but with so many companies trying to take $10 a month you have to draw the line somewhere.

Sometimes that’s okay.

As long as it’s not overly one sided and they do engage when you message them, don’t overthink it.

If it’s really that one sided then it should just naturally fizzle out without much thought. Either way, it’s not worth worrying about.

Exactly. The reason I cancel my subscriptions is because there’s been a nosedive in content that I enjoy, which has tipped the scales to it costing more than it’s worth to me.

I’ve moved to a Plex setup, but even then I don’t watch many shows at all. The ones I do watch are all on different platforms though, so it would be X many subscriptions just to watch the few shows I like.

At this point it really has become a site that provides soft core porn to children though, or where loners go to have some titty steamer exploit their desperation.

It’s just not the platform for it. Do it on a porn site, not where kids go to watch video games.

“Incoherent mumbling” is a disrespectful yet accurate description of a Brummie accent

It’s the one main genre I just don’t get. There are a few bands I like, but that’s usually because they bridge a gap between metal and hard rock.

I think it’s the vocals that usually put me off.

Looking at the fuel gauge in the morning and thinking “this is in God’s hands now.”
