Nah. AA themselves say they don’t think it is due to Spotify. And it would be too quick, they say they were kicked based on a legal request, hardly something you expect to be carried out in, what, two weeks at most?
Book publishers are unlikely to be any less ruthless than Spotify. Remember how they wanted to fuck over Internet Archive (and partly succeeded). This is more likely to be their doing.
Telegram is very diligent with deleting piracy channels, I’d say it’s so unreliable as not to be worth the effort of setting up.
They all have thigh highs, you just don’t see it in the pictures.
The users are revolting? Well, fucking finally. Ygg was in general a shockingly hostile service. I made a profile, downloaded a torrent, left it seeding, and quickly got banned with no explanation whatsoever. Many other people reported similar experiences, completely nonsensical self-destructive behaviour from the admins. So this is hopefully an opportunity for French pirates to start anew on a healthier basis.
(I left the torrent seeding even after being banned, and it would still upload to Ygg users… but I limited my upload to 1 kbps, lol. It’s pretty rare so I should upload it to a normal tracker one of these days.)
Dedicated gay beach, as far as it gets without having some official designation of that sort. Straight people just don’t go there at all, based on decades of my beachgoing in the area, local oral knowledge, and, well, going there myself and seeing the people. My friend once tried to go there, his mother (who has lived nearby on and off for decades and has family there) asked him wtf he’s doing, that’s the gay beach…
If you were actually at some sort of private gay club where public sex is allowed, all good, but I feel like you probably wouldn’t be questioning and trying to justify it if that was the case.
Well, obviously, I realise this was definitely a more questionable case, especially as I consider it in retrospect 😅
Well, the beach was a dedicated gay nudist beach, so I figured it might be more tolerant of that (though a friend of mine, who passed it by many times, said he has never seen people having sex there), and the place was relatively secluded so very few people on the beach could see it at all. Definitely not kids.
So that’s how I’m rationalising it to myself.
But you explain it well, and I guess some feeling of guilt is deserved. Beach sex isn’t very comfortable anyway so I’m not planning to do it again any time soon.
I had sex on a nudist beach and a boat passed by right as I had a cock down my throat. Can’t say I felt any embarrassment, with regards to being seen by the people on the boat. Yet afterwards I wondered if the act could’ve been seen as inappropriate by the other beachgoers, which would definitely make me feel some embarrassment.

Ah, a man of culture! But this colour is too greenish, IMO
Going off QuinnyCoded’s comment, I’d speculate the song is used in some antisemitic meme TikTok video or something similar. Kind of like Little Dark Age getting associated with nazi Hyperborea fantasies.
Coyote Brown seems closer
Edit: the pic I posted has a more greenish tone, I think, but it’s a photo of a book that I have physically and Coyote Brown lines up with the physical version better
Also now you made me go check… apparently this is Pantone’s colour of the year 2025:
and this one is for 2026 (how can you select the colour of the year in advance tho?)
This one seems to be the closest, unironically. Now my curiosity is satisfied and my soul at peace.
No, it’s the colour of one book I own and it just struck me how I can’t name or describe it.
Lol, is that an actual colour? I’m googling and the results are “mouse’s back”, although that one’s too gray IMO…
Chose your own dystopia. Where no ads exist and everything is pay per view/read/report/etc. Or the one we’re in.
Ads being a replacement for paying applies to internet services (social media, news sites, etc. that you can use for free). When you have billboards on the side of the road, you still have to pay the road toll. When you see ads in public transport, you still have to pay the ticket. When ads are shown on a TV channel, you still have to pay the subscription.
Online ads, as insufferable as they are, are still more clearly justifiable from the end user’s point of view than traditional ones.
My family bought a miniature real one two years ago so we’ll probably keep using it. It’s a bit of a hassle to water and take care of throughout the year, but I like it, the water is probably still cheaper than buying a whole new tree, real or artificial. It looks cute and is (obviously) easy to decorate.
That’s what you’d assume, but again in my country this is not a rare situation. Yes, people literally spend years studying to become gynecologists, and then don’t want to do one of the important parts of their job.
Admittedly, it is believed that many of the gynecologists actually do the abortions… in private clinics where they work in along with their job in the public hospital.
Don’t forget the incredibly organised mafia (primarily cocaine trafficking) spanning pretty much the entire world.
