Ironically, I find McDonald's has one of the better reward systems in their app. I also enjoy being able to punch in my order on a screen with any modifications I want such as extra pickle, no lettuce, etc.. instead of relying on the shitty speaker to pick it up only to hear a guy be like "Did you say cherry coke?" "No, diet coke" ugh

Also free fries on Friday.

Give BTGuard a try.

On my neck, ffs. It's even in the name.

Refer to yourself as "waga" and make sure you use the proper honorifics by ending every sentence with "kono yarou"

Don't forget "an'ta" - be sure to omit the a in the middle. It's how all the cool and non cringe kids talk.

I learned a ton of Japanese from anime. I also took two semesters in college, but anime was a huge portion. I signed on as a translation cleanup guy for a fansub group back in the day. We had a guy in Japan who could write broken English for the dialogue in anime episodes, and then I was the guy who was excellent with English but only had a basic grasp of Japanese (grade school level). Between us, we could get a script.

I learned more from cleaning up his scripts than I EVER did in two semesters of college.

Nowadays, I am not sure what the word for it is, but I can understand spoken Japanese at a high level but I cannot speak back very fluently. My spoken word is full of pauses as I try to think of the right word. But if you speak to me in Japanese, I understand very well.

So... is the meme accurate? I guess partially. It's not like I would ever call myself fluent. I can just watch anime without subtitles now.

Check out Forest Park in St. Louis. It's nice.

Haha I honestly forgot sometimes that the streaming platform is just MAX now. I work for a cable company and deal with customers who have HBO in their cable packages. It's such a habit to call it HBO still heh... and Lat Week Tonight does still technically air on HBO on TV. It's just the streaming episode goes up within 30 mins of the airing generally.

I pay monthly for access to a SOCKS5 proxy service from a company called BTGuard, and tell my BT client to connect through that. It is not expensive and works great I've been using it for about 12 or 13 years, and found it after getting an email from my ISP saying they identified me downloading TV shows. In that time, I have only had issues a handful of times. More reliable than most other services I pay for and I've never seen another DMCA notice since.

"That's right, Business Daddy! Bend over and get ready to take it"

Oliver shits on Business Daddy regularly.

HBO should make him an offer. Pull him over to chill with John Oliver again like the good old days.

I mostly listen in my car. As long as the UI has search and playlists I can make, and those play with no issue, it's doing what I need. Play button, pause button, etc... I don't need much else.
