Why is there a heterosexual pride flag option now? I thought Sand said we weren’t going to ever have some sort of straight pride thing for that here. To clarify, I’m just confused, not trying to be mean. Straight peeps I have no problem with yall.

It's always been there and we don't even have a flag attached to it-- so there is no image. If you choose it, nothing appears. I would never allow straight pride flags, not sure why you think we would.

You don’t need to apologize, I do.

I thought that back when flags were implemented R put them in to get people to stop complaining there was no straight pride but it was just still the normal rainbow flag in case people wanted to show they were allies since the ally flag also has controversial meaning so when you hover on the icon it does still say "straight" instead of "gay"

I’ll check to see if it stayed that way since we’ve added more flags since then.

hmm, what if instead of the straight pride flag (which is pretty boring, and has obvious homophobic and undermining connotations since it's inception) that there be one simply labelled "love" as a white bg with a little red or pink heart on it? anyone could use it for any reason they felt like claiming for it including even questioning since the actual questioning flag would be too many colors to fit on such a small space.
i dunno. just an idea to make everyone happy without being offensive.

I'm down for this! Mint & everyone else, what do you think? off topic, but here's what the hetero "flag" looks like if you hover over the top right corner of my profile's box. I'm thinking it's a transparent image that R must've made themselves.

it didn't used to be transparent, it used to be the regular pride flag. i remember that it did because i clicked all of them on my own profile at one point because i wanted to see what they all looked like. that is odd.
i wonder if the image file was slightly different and went missing somehow in between times.

Unsure, but I can look. Either it got changed at some point without me remembering (highly likely) or it got lost.

Old sofa is gone. New sofa is coming tomorrow.
Geez, my pets did a number on the old one. It was only 4 years old but already had several holes and tears! Hopefully the new one lasts longer.

I’ll be leaving for the summer sometime near the end of May. Sorry. It’s mostly for mental health reasons, but I’ll be back in August! Again, I’m not leaving until late May. :/

Alright, so I’m “not” doing anything illegal, but where’s the best place to pirate stuff from HBO MAX?
edit: alright y’all ignore that followup edit: please don’t ignore that actually our two sources don’t work lol

Honestly every site i used to use has been iced so I'm running out of places to find a big collection of movies/shows in one spot and telling them by name also isn't good because that will make it more likely for those to get found as well.
If you know what you want to watch though type it in, go to the "videos" search function, then under tools click "duration: 20+ mins" so it is more likely to show you the actual movies/shows rather than trailers and clips.

I only pirate media that can’t be viewed/purchased legally. E.g. a few months ago I really wanted to rewatch Dark Angel but literally the only way to do that is to buy used DVDs of it off Ebay from someone. It actually took me awhile to find it anywhere online - the only place I found episodes was poor quality videos on Youtube.

I watch old episodes of Saturday Night Live on the Internet Archive because they can't be bought or rented in full anywhere. For some reason, NBC only releases full episodes from seasons 1-5 and 40ish onwards. Not sure if that counts as pirated though because it's on a "nonprofit digital library."
I'm at the point, though, that I don't see much morally wrong with watching pirated material; I would feel differently if most of the money from streaming went to the actors and workers on a show or movie, but it just lines the pockets of greedy corporate overlords.

I definitely get others' reasoning. I used to do it a lot as a teenager. But I am no longer comfortable with it, and think that stealing is stealing regardless of how much money the person has or whether I personally like them. Hence my exception for media that is no longer available for purchase, since it's not depriving anyone of compensation they would otherwise earn from its sale and thus cannot be stolen.

I get your reasoning as well, and the reason I/my friend (let’s call him… Matcha) are trying to find a way to pirate the thing we are is because he can’t pay for a subscription to the thing it’s on at the moment and we really wanted to watch it because there wasn’t anything else that we wanted to watch available. Matcha still hasn’t figured it out but I think he’s close, and if it were free to watch somewhere else we wouldn’t pirate it because it’d be inconvenient.

Makes sense. I’ve done that before. I think it doesn’t count as pirating if they can’t be bought or rented fully anywhere else. The second paragraph is a great argument and one I might use in the future.

I understand the reasoning. I'm not gonna go buy like five subscriptions though. Streaming was supposed to be better than tv and consolidate it to one place and now its literally just tv again. I have hulu because hulu has the most things I find that I like but if something else I like is on a different streaming service, it gets yo-ho-ho'd.
Which is genuinely very few things. I think most recently it was Tron (1982 one) and The Last Starfighter.

I think it's easier for us because we don't really watch a lot of TV/movies. We generally are following just one or two and watch about two episodes a week. Sometimes a movie on a weekend. So typically we only have one subscription at a time (right now it's Netflix for Supernatural and The Three Body Problem) and after a few months will switch to a different one.

Yeah, that's why I stick to books; it's super easy to get books for free through my library, and it's not illegal!!
The library can be a great resource for getting movies and tv shows for free, but you usually need access to a physical media player like a DVD player.
