  • People have forgotten because he turned out to be a sex pest…

    But once upon a time Louis CK would get annoyed with piracy and sell copies of his new standup show at $5 with a no DRM copy of the file, just politely asking people to not pirate.

    He made $5 million almost overnight which helped fund his foray into television with Louie which was on TV for five years.

    This literally was the thing that took his career to the next level. Where he went from a comic with a pretty okay career to one with a massive career.

    He used to do the same for other comedians, too. I bought a couple Todd Barry specials from his website the same way: $5, DRM-free media files.

    I still have all those files backed up.








  • “No shit, Sherlock,” Snot Flickerman says.

    (Not disparaging the researches but rather NYT who should be ashamed of framing this as though climate change isn’t affecting literally everything including over the top heatwaves. Fucking dogshit rag. Everyone with a fucking BRAIN in their skull, not just fucking researchers, could tell you this without needing to do research. The fact that it’s presented like this in the news is WHY we have to keep doing research to keep proving it to chucklefucks who will keep acting like it’s a question to be answered and not one that was answered in the 1970s and then hidden.)




  • On reddit if a post was deleted I could still interact with the thread, even if the content of the post itself was gone.

    So it was a bit more elegant, imho, as it allows continued discussion and being able to link to the thread without it being completely nuked.

    I also think that set expectations for how people expected it to work here, where the post contents and author would be nuked but the thread could still be accessed by hotlink.
