  • Well, I grew up with knowledge of cable pirating in apartment complexes, VHS recording of retals to share or rewatch or watch later, and tape and CD sharing and mixing…

    So as far as Im aware pirating was always a easy, viable, and economically savvy choice.

    I did explore Netflix for a brief time 15 years ago, but the quality of their service degraded heavily, and I still pirated alongside my Netflix membership, as their content was always limited. And I shared my member ship with others, then later occasionally used a membership that was shared with me, until Netflix broke that system.












  • There are a lot of cultures where seating in public is ad hoc, you just sit wherever, you generally don’t claim a table or area to yourself. In those situations greetings and socialization are pretty normal.

    I remember going out to eat fast food with a girl and her kid a decade ago and some homeless guy asked if he could sit with us. I said sure, and he was a nice maybe 50 year old guy. He had clearly been around kids and enjoyed the normalcy of just hanging out with the three of us for 30min. The kid didn’t mind, but the girl I was dating thought it really weird.
