honestly not trying to be a shill but there was a brief period that caught a glimpse of a post-piracy world where there were very little streaming services that had all the content you could want. It moved me away from piracy because of the convenience, library, and being able to share with friends and family.

Ideally a post-piracy world would have the options for uncensored/original versions of content, the ability to buy and store said content locally and own in perpetuity, with a price point for access to a vast library from a very small number of services. As many have said, the way to combat “piracy” is to offer a service better than piracy itself.

I just presumed you turn on “shower thoughts” mode after you’ve done a thorough clean.

Though this is similar to what some Japanese households do where they do a thorough wash and shower, removing any dirt and sweat, and soak in a bathtub to relax afterwards.

Great thread - might make my icons a little smaller but I have a big phone (for my hand) so I tried to balance minimalist with color-immediacy

Great Parks and Rec episode

I can relate to the “how the fuck is being a concerned human being extreme/poltical?” energy in the post hard.
