My Fitness Coach is a Dark Wizard [Complete]
A present from a junior member of the household harrumph
i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that will companies are still trying to stomp out.
Making incredible progress in forcefem technology.
one of the reasons why Columbo is so funny is because he will get on his suspect's nerves sooo badly and then the suspect cannot do anything about it because Columbo will go "I'm just a little guy and it's my birthday! I'm just a little birthday boy!" with the suspect and Columbo both knowing full well that Columbo is lying but the suspect cannot say a word about it not being Columbo's birthday due to the social conventions surrounding them and the fact that they are indeed guilty of murder
I love Stargate dearly, but every so often I need to reprocess the fact that the main series villains are:
Cunty little worms
Sentient grey Lego bricks
The Spanish Inquisition

For those of you with android devices, you can use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) standalone app control program to get rid of all the bloatware, data mining, and AI crap - no coding needed!
save
There are also Android-based alternatives like GrapheneOS and LineageOS, which are pretty easy to install. These are unfortunately available for a more limited range of devices (Graphene is ironically Pixel only, while Lineage supports more), but it's very worth checking out whether one of them might work for your phone.
GrapheneOS is a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.
LineageOS Android Distribution
Typing this from Graphene now, in fact. But, both of those take the Android Open Source Project, without all the bloatware--and largely de-Google the whole thing. They give you much more control over privacy and what the apps you choose to install can do and access on your phone.
I know Graphene sandboxes everything, including the optionally installed Google Play Services which a lot of apps unfortunately require to run. (Lineage uses an alternative to Play Services instead.) So, you can install what would normally be unacceptably intrusive apps and just lock them away from pulling any funny shit with your data, or phoning home. Including the couple of Google things I do still keep around.
I also prefer running much more transparent, privacy-respecting open source apps where possible. Besides the transparency, I'd rather avoid the shitty tech corps entirely where I can. There are pretty good alternatives available for a lot of the usual suspects.
AlternativeTo lets you find apps and software for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android, Android Tablets, Web Apps, Online, Windows Tab
An alternative app store:
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy
Also just going to leave this here.
Continuing the legacy of Vanced.
💊 Application to use ReVanced on Android . Contribute to ReVanced/revanced-manager development by creating an account on GitHub.
This lets you pretty easily patch some of the worst offender corporate apps to make them behave better.

Having a purpose was your first mistake. Wanting it to have meaning was a mental health calamity.

Some species of arboreal pangolin, such as the long-tailed pangolin, have prehensile or semi-prehensile tails to help them climb. They can use these tails to hang from branches so that they can rip into ant nests in the trunk. During mating season, males will also fight over females by clubbing each other with their tails.
I am once again reminded of my first encounter with a pangolin in the 90s, when I had not yet heard of pangolins. So upon beholding a caretaker in the “we need a rainforest or something on the roof” area of the Aquarium of the Pacific walking the creature above on a leash, I had the delightful experience of not knowing what the fuck I was looking at.
No, not the zookeeper (what is the approved job title nowadays?) The animal. I couldn’t tell if it was a reptile or a mammal. For a brief shining moment, I experienced the frisson of wonder and confusion that must have driven naturalists on sea voyages to hazardous faraway places. And, I hope, humans will one day feel it again when we meet really truly aliens.
Just. Look at that thing.
It is totally a creature.
What the fuCk.
