Napa_Don 688 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I pay for spotify and have since it became a thing. And I do buy books sometimes. Just bought one yesterday, actually. But as long as librarys and used book sellers are things I won't feel bad about pirating the occasional book. Link to post Share on other sites
hank213 1,823 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During the days of Napster, we set up file servers... got tons of music, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a streaming service out of little known radio-on-the-internet site. That kid's name was Tim Westergren, and the service he invented was Pandora. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a banner ad, or an FAQ or an "About us" mention of him on that site! Someone froze his uTorrent account. No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Tim, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, downloading huge files. So when his ratio inverted and his account was frozen, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business! 5 Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 You can steal books like a man! What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, afraid to shoplift from Barnes and Noble, torrenting like a woman? "oh, I need to get my ratio up" What is this nonsense? Ridiculous.. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Now someone do GF3. Every time I think I've downloaded enough, they PULLLL me back IN You'll be happy to know that after all the rightys and religious people I've unfollowed due to being annoying with their amount and content, I've finally unfollowed Randy. He was just too much, too often. I needed to get away. Plus you're fcking ass constantly playing contrarian. It got to be too much and it wasn't pleasant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm sorry I was a part of your annoyance. Please forgive me. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm sorry I was a part of your annoyance. Please forgive me. It's not all that. He posted too much, and some of it was garbage. You felt the need to call him out at every turn, unnecessarily, some of the time, imo, but that is your right and I respect it Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Good news: I broke my r/all front page cherry, and got invited to r/eternityclub. So I have that going for me. Bad news: My post got removed by the mods just as it was really taking off for being in the wrong sub. Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I was just mindlessly scrolling through my Facebook page when I came across a post from an aquaintence ranting about something Jesse Jackson said that he shared. Pretty normal until I realize in his headline when sharing the post he calls Jackson a N***** only he spelled it out. Stopped me dead in my tracks. Can't remember the last time I heard or read someone use that word in conversation. Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 That dude is definitely a racist. Quite possibly. I don't know him well enough to say. Obviously he is getting attacked for it and his point is that N***** describes any "piece of crap" and he uses the word towards whites as well as blacks. Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, I love you man Old client just referred to all the unfortunate colored boys in the city who aren't safe. Very compassionate lady. She was born in 1928. That's pretty compassionate for someone of her age. Thats how my grandparents would talk when they were still around. They immigrated from England so the culture was different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Saw my Oncologist today. Blood work back to normal, no lymphoma showing in spinal fluid, all vitals great. Final chemo treatment Sunday then they expect to consider me in remission. We will continue spinal infusions for a couple weeks to ensure that stays clear then do a Pet Scan (its a machine that scans your body for cancer cells) in about 3 weeks to verify all cancer is gone and/or if any other treatment is necessary but good news indeed. 8 Link to post Share on other sites
