Why not use VPN for day-to-day also?

I pay my subscription service. Circumventing region locks is not piracy - it’s idiot studios not allowing customers easy access to their content with region locks.

You can use Chrome’s geolocation to spoof CBS into thinking you’re in a different city on a Sunday afternoon, maybe, so I’ve heard.

I pay for my services. But often livestreaming, even within the US, is geographically limited. So I pay $42/mo to Sling, but if I want to watch anything live on NBC, I need to use a VPN and pretend I’m in New York City because with my actual IP address, I am not near an O&O station (and also out of antenna range), so…

Go fuck yourself.

Perhaps if the industry adopted a more modern approach to dealing with this problem rather than making everyone suffer, a system could be worked out. I agree it hurts livelihoods, there really is no valid argument to that. But, on the flip side, why the f*ck should I pay CBS $10/month for the one show I’d watch? Why…

I know it’s evil week, but it’s kinda delicious reading an article about how to pirate content without paying for it from an outlet constantly begging me to turn off my ad blocker because they need the money to pay the bills.

No it’s not—it’s highlighting the fact that this entire administration is a fucking sham, and there are no “moderating forces,” they’re all jackasses, and they’re all complicit.

No it isn’t. Ivanka Trump is part of this shitshow administration, with an office in the WH, and if she’s as big of a fucking idiot as her father then it needs to be called out.

Like everyone medical question that has ever been submitted to anonymous people on the internet, “talk to an actual doctor” is the answer. If she can’t decide which kind to go to, well that’s what GPs are for.

Body shaming is good when we do it to people we don’t like.

Holy shit get a history book.

nah. if someone talked to me like that I’d think they were trying to intimidate me. he’s a fucking bully.

It’s just like how she didn’t think women deserved paid maternity leave until she got pregnant, then she was its biggest champion.

I’d say right at the minute mark, when he leans in and starts overemphasizing at all. He gets a little chest-thumpy at that point.

ok, but at what point does he become “menacing” as it’s referred to in that tweet? He appears desperate, but nothing about him or his demeanor is “menacing” there.

I am taking probably more enjoyment than I should about how seething with rage he is about this

Probably because on the galactic scale we are a microscopic spec, something that has existed for a mere fraction of the time that well, time has existed. Humans really hold no value past what we grant it.

I don’t know, ask the Greeks, buddy.

The Amanda Knox case is suddenly making a lot more sense to me...
