The Actual Reason I Consume Mediocre Media Is Because I Have Bad Taste. The Deeper Secret Pretentious

the actual reason I consume mediocre media is because I have bad taste. the deeper secret pretentious reason is because I think there’s something very revealing about bad media that you don’t get with good media. when you watch a poorly executed plot point unfold, you see the machinery behind it. you see the gap between what’s actually on screen and the true goal the author is striving for. if it’s particularly awful, you can even measure just how poorly mismatched the author’s skills are with the story they’re trying to tell you. watching a poorly executed narrative play out feels like you’re discovering something, because you see all the wiring and guts underneath that better authors hide from you, in the same way that movies hide boom mics and books make you forget you’re turning the pages. if a story is good and executed well you just see the story. but I want to see the guts and wires!

This is pretty minor, but I try to type "its" but it keeps correcting to "it's". Not super bad, but annoying as fuck.

What’s the worst time you’ve been auto corrected?

ID: Tweet by Ilhan Omar, linking to an article titled "Kansas' extreme new anti-trans bill could see some cis women banned from toilets" with the reply: "wtf: Definitions outlined in the bill also state a female is a person who produces "ova" - in other words, eggs - meaning cis women who are infertile and are unable to produce eggs coul be barred from spaces under the legislation's legal terms. /end ID
ID screenshot of a Reddit comment by /u/FrenchTantan: Ok but hang on, does the bill say "produce"? 'Cause if I remember my biology lessons properly, people with ovaries don't produce eggs after they're born, ever. They're born with a limited set that decreases starting puberty. If the bill is actually phrased that way, that's even funnier (and also sad and stupid)

Edit: The bill actually says  "whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova" so yeah. That's nobody except fetuses lmao. Like, not even the person who's pregnant since it's not their reproductive system /end ID

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, how the fuck would you even enforce that?

"Oh want to use the bathroom? I'll just need you to produce an egg real quick".

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

I'm Begging You Guys To Start Pirating Shit From Streaming Platforms. There Are So Many Websites Where

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

I'm Begging You Guys To Start Pirating Shit From Streaming Platforms. There Are So Many Websites Where

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
