    This is why I’ve never really understood branded clothing. I won’t wear it, because it’s just an advertisement. Genuinely don’t understand how society fell so hard for that one. I get luxury brand show off for shallow reasons, but shit- and mid-tier brands?

      i think shit tier is cheap because it also poses as advertisement?

      So what do you wear? I want to reduce the amount of ads I wear, but plain tshirts don’t look so good with my extra belly weight. I need something on the shirt. But what? And I commonly just wear shorts, so it can’t look remotely formal.

        Layers, patterns, gradients, and screen printed art, mostly.

        Lots of screen printed art. I’m a big fan of mashup designs where two or more IPs are mixed, like star wars and star trek mixed and represented as chibbi cartoons, basically just someone’s fan art on a t-shirt or sweatshirt, such that you aren’t really advertising any of them as its not immediately clear what’s even on it. Also just art I like. Tons of places to get stuff like that. I also have a lot of shirts with jokes and phrases and the like.

        Layers are good if you live somewhere that isnt too ridiculously hot, plain or gradient base t (or one of the more basic screen printed shirts) under a contrasting over-shirt is good. Really opens up the options because basically anything button or zip works, patterns or solid colors, and the extra fabric layer hides a lot of imperfections.

        I do a lot of thrifting, especially when I travel, because the variety tends to span different styles and eras and people buy stuff online that ends up there, but it takes a while to really build up the wardrobe that way.

        Everyone uses their own system, in my country sharing via torrent (as long as there is no profit) is not a legal problem, so instead of VPN I use duckdns and ngix proxy manager for access, with two manuals and a couple of afternoons to get everything working everything goes great

      I’ve been trying to switch over to the arr stack, and for anything new it’s great, but my girlfriend likes to watch some older obscure stuff (previous Halloween Baking Championship for example) which I’m having a hard time finding. Lots of stalled torrents, etc. Maybe I just need to get into some private trackers, but there is still some things that stream wins out for currently for us.

        Torrents are, by design, popularity based bandwidth… Might I suggest newsgroups that can have retention of 25+ years? Oh and the speeds are enough to make your (insert connection type) beg for mercy.

          I’ve heard of them but I admittedly shyed away from them since I’m not familiar with how they work. Are they free like torrents or do you need to pay to access them?

            Usually you have to pay for them. Free ones are available but they don’t have much available.

            Remember, Netflix got popular because it was an access issue, not a payment issue. People were fine with paying, just not overpaying.

              Is there one you’d recommend, or how would I go about picking one? Do they all have everything, or does it depend on what shows/movies I’m interested in?

              Sorry for all the questions, I’ve been curious about this stuff for a bit but I’m the only pirate in my friend group
