@cedarshims @Sierra_OffLine Yeah. And the main weird issue is that hustle. It's all reversed in the stocks, so imagine you chose the most stolen cars so people would have to buy your replacements. You'd be betting on car theft. You might even... steal cars

@cedarshims

@cedarshims @Sierra_OffLine So in this way, short sellers habe an incentive to talk down and scare talk stocks. To issue "reports" about how the company is failing, there is no future, etc.

@cedarshims

@cedarshims @Sierra_OffLine And that's how they made an already shady practice super shady

@cedarshims

@cedarshims @Sierra_OffLine So that why you then get your pals on the magic tv to talk down the stock for you, to help you, etc. So yeah, it is all hot garbageworld

Every once in a while someone shows up and this happens. 99.9999% of the time, they never write back.

When they do write back, 90% of those writing are offering, like, $500. A percentage of those are insulting and angry.

Anyway, $50k for WORKS.ORG, $250,000 for COW.NET, textfiles.com not for sale at any price

I can seriously get behind a timeline where Biden goes as crazy on the nation around trains as Trump did with his wall.

Everyone works on the trains, like right now everyone has people in their family who went to war. Just, everybody working some train time - part of the crew that built this pass, or who helped with the beautification of their local station, or collected beautiful Train Bonds

And people screaming "Why the trains when ____________" or "Trains? Who needs more Trains! We need more _________"

Just a thing. Joe did his job OK, but ohhh man, the Biden Train Renaissance touches everyone's lives as a memory in 2040

@RochBalrog Because people die, John. Because the locations of playing files and the instructions on how to play them and get them working often get lost.

@RochBalrog

@RochBalrog Because you're using Google Drive links to provide your files. The links are obscure, Google keeps changing the services and it's almost guaranteed these links won't work in the future. (Mega, Photobucket, and many more have shifted functionality or cut it off completely.)

@RochBalrog

@RochBalrog Because not everybody is a strong enthusiast who knows how to find lists of games, and then go to each site, and then find in those sites their particular approach to offering what they have, and which version. Your site is a blog-format with google drive links threaded in.

This uploader at Youtube is putting up a lot of one of a kind video. When (not if) Youtube's content-id mangler starts yanking it down, I'll be waiting to help mirror it at Internet Archive.

youtube.com/channel/UCVTQ7…

See you soon

I get why people use youtube to save archival video. I also totally understand if they're hosting a video channel they derive income from, and want to have the tools to do so. They definitely have those tools.

But if you don't mirror it with us at some point;
