  • That’s not the Bolt I remember. The Bolt I loved was the best download forum that ever existed. Movies, TV, books, audio books, music, software, you could find ANYTHING there, usually in multiple formats, sizes, etc. The moment something became available, Bolt had it instantly.

    They bumped around the world, evading authorities. At least once they had to start all over, and asked followers to upload everything they had. Alas, eventually the got stopped, and one day they were gone forever.

    I know of a couple now, and they’re okay, but nothing like Bolt.

    Edit: Found it, it was Bolt.cd.

  • What you will have is the knowledge to grow food, which you scale up to feed yourself and can others for much longer. That is an extremely valuable skill.

    Those four tomatoes will feed you, but only after you have harvested all the seeds, which will grow dozens of plants next season, and feed hundreds of people, and yield thousand sof seeds for an even larger crop next year.

    Surviving through the first growing season is the trick.

  • Old Reddit lore includes a story from a guy who was playing soccer in high school, and he and another player went for the ball at the same time, and he kicked the other kid in the shin, really hard.

    The kid was in terrible pain, and the guy felt horrible, and in the heat of the moment, wanted to say “Are you okay?” AND “Im sorry!” but just ended up yelling “ARE YOU SORRY?!” It sounded like a vicious taunt at serious hurting player, but it was totally unintentional, and it haunted him for years.

    After that story, “ARE YOU SORRY?!” became a Reddit response when anyone got hurt.

  • This is such bullshit. If they really cared about the well-being of children, they’d make sure they had free healthcare, free daycare, and free college/trade school.

    This is ONLY about connecting our identities with our online activity. They just put a bunch of people in prison for DECADES for possessing writings that were “anti-government,” so that allowed them to be classified as ANTIFA terrorists. This will allow them to do that with ANYONE who posts something they don’t like.

    Just because these parasites claim to have a righteous rationalization for this, doesn’t mean we have to accept it. We KNOW they are lying, and the real reason is to control the adults of this country, not the children.

    A lifetime of invasive surveillance is far more damaging to society, than kids discovering that men and women have different genitalia.

  • I’ve always preferred single player games. I hate multiplayer, all those strangers running around in my TV, chaos everywhere. I want to relax and explore, but multiplayer is stressful. I don’t want to deal with other people.

  • He’s got entirely too much money, if he can blow it on this kind of bullshit. Same with all of them.

    We need to take at least 50% from these Parasites, as a start, reserving the right to come back for more, at any time. Out of that, we give a bonus to all their workers, then put the rest in a fund to cover things like Medicare 4 All, UBI, free college, college loan and medical bill forgiveness, free day care, etc.

    And when we need more, we’ll be back. And if you continue to squander your ill-gotten profits, so you don’t have to pay your societal obligations/reparations, well just take it away, and imprison the corporate leadership who insist on pursuing their Parasitic business practices.

  • Yep, that’s the move. You don’t have to pick up each egg and inspect it. If it rocks, it’s good.

    If there’s just one or two, I look for the bad dozen, which is usually there in the case, off to the side. Open that and replace the good eggs from that carton with the bad ones in your carton. Now you have 12 good eggs, and eventually the store will have a carton of 12 cracked eggs.

    You still get dirty looks from dickheads, though, which I enjoy. I’m always pleased to piss off judgemental Karens.
