“just torrent it! just pirate it! streaming sites exist!” (proceeds to give absolutely zero clear instructions on how to do any of these things)

hareofhrair

hokay well first you need adblock and antivirus, obvs.

I can’t give you much advice on streaming. if you want to stream, you can probably just google it and dig around a bit till you find a site. I don’t know a lot of good streaming sites because it’s a hassle and I don’t like doing it, but there’s less risk of viruses or your isp getting pissy. So if you don’t mind extra legwork for less risk, streaming is fine.

Now, if you want to torrent, there’s some initial set up but after that getting what you’re after is a lot easier.

Step 1: first you need a torrenting program.

there’s a lot of options but right now I use Tixati. Go ahead and get that installed. This is what allows you to download torrents.

Step 2: Now you probably want a VPN. This helps prevent the previously mentioned ‘isp gettin pissy’ problem. some torrents will have trackers that tattle on you to Comcast or whoever provides your internet. A VPN disguises your ip address to make it harder for them to figure out where you are. In my experience, if you’re just torrenting the occasional game or movie and not like, guzzling terrabytes of just-released content, the worst that will happen is your isp will shut your internet off till you call them and apologize and make some excuse about your neighbor’s kids using the wifi. they can’t actually do shit besides that. But if you want to avoid the hassle, use a VPN and torrent smart. Only get torrents from trusted sources, avoid brand new or leaked content which is more likely to be being watched, and don’t leave the actual torrent file (not the downloaded content but the torrent itself) sitting on your computer longer than necessary.

For VPNs, there’s a lot of options. Tunnelbear is generally well respected service. But it’s not free, and I don’t think something that heavy duty is really necessary for casual torrenting. If you’re messin around in the dark web and shit or torrenting on a daily basis, maybe. But for casual use, I get by with the free VPn built into the Opera web browser. Important note- Opera is basically the lite version of Chrome, it’s owned by google. Companies can buy their way through its security. It’s not perfect. But like I said, if you’re being smart and only torrenting occasionally, it’s a decent free option.

Step 3: Now that you’ve got your torrent program installed and your VPN running, it’s time to pick a torrent site!

The Pirate Bay is the oldest and best option when it comes to torrenting sites, imo. In particular because 1. you can sort results by number of seeders (the more seeds, the faster it downloads) 2.they make it easy to identify trusted sources. Look for the pink skull next to the link. These torrents will generally be safer than any others.

Unfortunately, pbay is also the most well known pirate site, so it goes down pretty often. if you don’t feel like waiting for it to come back up, you can check out other sites like Kickass Torrents or EZTV. If you find one or all of those is always “down” it may be that your isp is blocking your access to the site. Google a proxy, most of these sites have several, and use a vpn.

So, first lets search for gomens on pb.

Bam. There you go. Pick the third one down. The others have more seeds, but the pink skull means this one is safer.

click the green ‘get this torrent’ magnet link, and it’ll ask if it can open Tixati. Let it do its thing. Tixati will take a minute to download the basic info about the file, then ask your permission to start.

you can see the files included in the torrent there, and where they will be saved. If it all looks good, hit start and wait. Depending on your internet speed, it may take a while. When it’s done, hit stop and remove to get rid of the torrent file and go enjoy your content. And that’s it! You’re done! It’s much less complicated than it seems.

Have fun, torrent responsibly, support unions and Fuck Amazon.

I’m an avid pirate myself and I use rarbg.to, there’s a lot of rumors that pirate bay is a honeypot so I’m a lot wary of it and really do not use it without a VPN get a VPN!!!!!

yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

fischotterkunst

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change.

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things.

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

That first image is an edit of HUGZzz by Irene Strychalski. She’s improved tremendously in the past nine years, and you can see her current work on her tumblr, reniedraws! She has done backgrounds for Archer and Unsupervised, backgrounds and character designs for Chozen, and pencils and inks for issue #1 of Deadpool Family. She’s currently making a webcomic called Shaman Child. Here’s some of her current art:

As for the anime girl in the plaid skirt, I braved the hellscape that is early ‘00s anime websites, exploring endless gif-covered Gaia pages and vampire-filled roleplay forums, traveling across seas of unsourced DeviantArt edits and low-res hentai, to discover that she is an original character by Hiro Suzuhira. She has done work for Shuffle!, Ef: A Tale of Melodies, Akikan!, Phantom Breaker, and We Without Wings, among many others, and she is also a prolific freelance illustrator. Here are some examples of her art:

homepage theme by jeff code

i did something similar to this a very long time ago but i wanted to do one on my own base instead of someone else’s base code

it has no css in it so it looks kind of terrible in that “old web” kind of way so this is for people who are into that kind of thing.

that’s not to say you can’t go in and add css on your own because you can definitely do that but please don’t claim it as your own or anything

it feels like i missed something but i wanted to get this thing out so that i could start working on something more serious, lol. enjoy

gigacities theme // code

live version here

i made this to fulfill my latent dream of a geocities tumblr theme, but one that’s still functional and easy to read. another notable thing is the sidebar icon doesn’t use anti-aliasing so you can use pixel art without it being fuzzy and squished! it’s not supported on every browser, though.

features:

700px posts

custom favicon/optional custom cursor

5 custom links

200px or 100px sidebar icon, crops to square & has no anti-aliasing so pixel art isn’t fuzzy when resized

tell me if you find anything broken or have suggestions!

hey guys psa regarding hospital bills

don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.

don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.

THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. after my car accident last year the hospital billed me ~$8000. They sent me letters asking me to pay, and I called them back saying my insurance was processing the claim. This is also what I told the collection agency when they kept calling me about the $1000 emergency room fee (billed separately from the hospital fee, mind you). Once everything got straightened out, all I was actually liable for was my $200 emergency copay.

Reblogging for American friends.

Also, it is important [for people receiving medical care in the USA] to carefully read all of the items on the medical bill and look for errors and overcharges. I know that the normal feelings of avoidance and dread can make it hard to look at scary hospital bills, and that’s okay! But as the OP mentions, private orgs like hospitals don’t monitor overpayment of bills - they are motivated to charge you extra - and it is basically impossible to get your money back. Read the bill carefully and make sure that the charges are correct, using the links below for help if you need. If they haven’t sent you an itemized list, you can ask for one. Sometimes you will be charged extra for items or treatment you didn’t receive. Most people don’t know that you can dispute medical bills! But in 2009, Consumer Reports stated that 8 out of 10 medical bills scrutinized by a watchdog had errors, and generally you are not obligated to pay for someone else’s error.

You may be charged for using medication that you actually brought into the hospital with you - that’s easy to dispute! You may be charged for the consumables used during your stay such as sheets, gloves, gowns, etc - the hospital should actually cover that under its running budget. You may be charged for a brand name drug if the generic was available for cheaper - the links below explain how and when you can dispute this. You may be charged a surprisingly expensive “oral administration fee” (where a nurse puts pills for you to take in a little clean paper cup and then hands it to you) but that’s worth disputing if you were actually able to take the pill out of a bottle and put it in your own mouth. And so on.

I got a $900 charge for an anesthesiologist with my first child. I had a natural birth with no epi. Why that charge was there was never explained, but basically he showed up as I was delivering & stood around so I guess he thought he could bill me for being in the same room.

rosexknight

OKAY NO BUT THAT LEGIT PROBABLY HAPPENED!!

When I was in a car accident and had two of my friends with me, they tried to bill each of us the FULL AMOUNT of the ambulance ride, as if we had taken three separate ones even though I was the only one on a stretcher with an IV start in me.

ALSO! My mother-in-law once gave birth in the car (it was like her 3rd or 5th kid she was a pro at it already) and despite her not needing it, the hospital still put her in the delivery room and recovery room before giving her a normal room. Keep in mind THE KID WAS ALREADY BORN when they arrived at the hospital. They literally only put her in those rooms so they could charge her for them…
