People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.
For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.
So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.
Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

A handful of hot takes from someone who stock walmart shelves at night:
Pink sauce keeps coming in an assortment of colours. I would reccomend acting as if it is poison. Last time I had to stock it it was a weird greyish orange.
The diet isle is full of lies. The only thing there that is proven to work as intended is the caffiene stuff (why 5 hour energy is considered diet I don't know) and the protein stuff (made for weight gain, muscle mass etc. Used for medical supplements, is not on my shit list). If it has an asterisk, it has not been proven at all. Don't listen to the diet isle anyway, its just trying to make you feel bad about yourself.
Please stop opening the deodorant. If it doesn't have a lid (the inner seal being gone also makes this apply) we cannot sell it. At that point you may as well steal it because then I won't have to touch it.
If you find domething moldy or gross randomly (stuff gets holes in the packages sometimes, we will not blame you) please tell an associate. Some of us are allergic to mold or have asthma. I would rather not hear an abulance at 3am ever again, thank you.
Please do not open the lotion or soaps. They are messy. We legally cannot sell them if they are open. I do not like the allergies they give me later. Muscinex sucks to take.
Just. Just go with an associate's pronouns. Please stop calling me sir. Half of us that you are trying to "gotcha" the gender of are just tall or short people. It is also none of your buisness. Knock it off.
Please stop yelling at me for spelling colours like that. I know it is america. I just read a lot of old literature as a kid. I am trying to help you find your prefered colour of towel using walmart google, I am not here to make you think I'm an invader from great britain(why is this something I have had to say more than once?).
Please stop mashing the help button after we have closed.
If I am stocking the toilet paper, why do you assume I have the electronic keys?
Closed means leave. If you are in line for the register that is fine. I hate it but I get it. It is not wander around hour. It it finally we can pull what we are stocking into the isle without worrying about being in the way of customers hour.
If I am wearing earplugs because it is loud nearby, please do not shout. I promise the only reason I am allowed to wear them is because I have proven I can still hear people whispering in my direction with them in. I do not need hearing damage because you think I'm ignoring you.
If I do not turn around at sir that is not a viable reason to touch me. I have barely broken the elbow back at first contact reflex. (Kind of. It appears occasionally) I do not want to explain to anyone that I got startled and launched my bony arm into someone's gut. I had enough of that in high school where my teachers knew about the stalkers.
Employees are people. If you do not want to be interacted with like that I can guarantee that we will not be offended if you do not interact with us like that.
Most of the time, when we explain something to you, it is not because we think your dumb. It is because we wish someone had told us. Or because we are trying to fill silence.
I lisp. I fumble words. Let me count down or witness the unholy hell of trying to say 20 words in one syllable. It is 5 seconds of brain reset. Chill.
If an employee says we are out. We are out. Our backroom is not currently working properly. So even if we did have it we would not be able to find it.
If an employee is in the backroom, you are not allowed in there. That is tresspassing. It is punishable.
I am only a man for the purpose of walking people to cars. That is it. Please stop your male children from following me into the bathroom. Several people are uncomfortable. Myself included.
Please do not put infant supplies or anything edible in chemical. Infants chew on everything and if it is a health hazard to an adult it will kill a small child (pets are also included, but I have not to this day seen a pet item that was not already destroyed beyond usability on a chemical shelf.) Dropped in the oops puddle is not what I am mad about. Please stop leaving teething toys in the ferbreeze.
If. If you drop and break something. Please tell someone. Anyone. If you want to guard it until an employee comes by thats fine. But dont just assume we immediately know about a spill the second it happens. That's how people get hurt.
Blocking the emergency exits is a crime. Stop that. It is one thing to be there with the cart. It is another entirely to park a scissor lift there. (This one is more for my coworkers and the construction guys, but still.) Also stop blocking/stealing the fire extinguishers. We need those. They need to be accessible.
If there is a severe, immediate problem, tell someone. It may require either a lockdown or evacuation depending on what happened. Missing children and accidentally mixed chemicals are deadly if handled improperly. Same with medical issues.
If someone drops I will abandon you to get someone who may be able to help. This is not a personal against you. This is a first aid oh shit moment. (Thank you customer who told me when someone passed out behind me and distracted people away from them and the fact that no body was helping them. You are a godsend. As far as I know they made a full recovery.)
I am not a medical professional. All I know is what works for me. Please actually see a doctor for your major injury. I just know how to handle my scholiosis specifically.
I do not have every brand name memorised. Please. Clarify what it does when I ask instead of repeating the brand name. I can at least get you to the area.
Please do not ever work me to hypothermia again. Once was bad enough. If someone hadn't caught me starting to take the coat off I likely would have died. (Bad manager, pretty sure she is in some significant legal trouble because this is not the worst thing she did.)
Thank you, to everyone who agrees that they hate the beeping cameras. If enough people complain on the website they might get turned off. Keep it up.
Thank you, to everyone who is just there to be a reasonable customer. I appreciate you.
Bonus note: none of us care what you are buying. Buy condoms if you want. Giggle at the condoms if you want. Just as long as you aren't a jerk and don't make a mess we won't make a fuss about what you do.

They’re playing You’re The One That I Want on the radio at work right now and I’m suddenly realizing that I’m never going to be able to listen to this song in public without thinking about Wade and Logan going at it in the Honda Odyssey

you ever think about how Rosalina is a canon Mareach shipper 🤌🏾
She takes one look at this dude and is like "Oh this is that kidnapped princess' boyfriend. Maybe he doesn't know it yet, but I do." And I think that's beautiful.

as an eddie girl who loves buddie and enjoys bucktommy, one of the best things to come out of the tommy and eddie hate is how many of you have exposed yourselves for being homophobic, misogynistic, racist, classist, elitist, and bigoted motherfuckers ✨🫧

Do not let the Protestant Work Ethic Beast in your head win!
You are not alone! You are not the sole difference between death and life! You are a person who will at some point need to take a break!
That is why there is community! That is why there is organizing! Do not despair because you, alone, are not currently boots on the ground fixing things! Do something, but do not let that something be collapsing!

idk maybe it's because I see all art as various fields of craft work, ie skills composed of a series of linear steps that can be taken to produce certain results, but it irks me when people lose their shit over really basic pieces simply because the end result was able to produce a realistic image. like. especially since I've noticed it shows up a Lot more often in reference to categories of art dominated by women.
like, it's great y'all are gaining a respect for quilting and fiber work, but maybe loudly declaring that you either don't see or don't care about the immense display of skill in pieces unless they conform to what's mildly difficult in the one(1) genre of art you have deemed respectable isn't like. cool.

losing my mind that someone thinks that some women wear Kim K waist trainers to the gym because historical costumers/dress history specialists dare to talk about corsets not being torture devices online

the thing about the terror is the same thing would happen if they were all just working at a grocery store literally anywhere ? like john franklin is the shitty general manager that is providing 0 oversight. hickey is someone who is a shit employee that is only held on to bc he's attached himself to some middle management. the stewards are cashiers bc the front end is where you know everyone, interact w bigger bosses more frequently and have a weird interpersonal dynamics that are akin to a chicken coop. the lieutenants are like supervisors for depts of the store. it hasn't been going well. they ran out of plastic bags like a month ago,,,
