Time for piracy to make a swift comeback.
Why you’re not pirating. You’re just training your LLM.
Imagine going to thrift stores for 15 minutes after work and ending up with all of these on DVD?
Problem is shows like “it’s always sunny” that i wanted to do this with, stopped making physical dvd releases after like season 10. Disney + also removed a bunch of episodes for “being offensive” which if that worries you, why are you watching its always sunny?
Imagine going straight home after work and steaming whatever you want instantly because you have Stremio + Torrentio?
Imagine pirating all that, not paying for it, AND having Blurays?
What else are you doing with those 15 minutes, working on world peace?
Don’t know what they’re but I would just go to Sonarr and add Southpark and at some point they’ll appear in Plex.
Well with Stremio you don’t need to do that, because it’s laid out like Netflix. That’s why I prefer it over Plex; no downloading, no transferring files over (and if you add a Debrid service to the mix, no waiting on seeds, either). Just pick what you want to watch with your TV remote and enjoy. It’s convenient enough that your Boomer parents could navigate it with ease.
Proof that piracy is the best solution to overcome authoritarianism.
And corporate bullshit
The original (and true) definition of fascism was corporatism.
Reminds of the the time that Sony made a pretty advanced root kit to fight piracy. The only people that were not infected were the pirates who wouldn’t have bought their CDs.
So dumb, the episodes exist and can be watched without much hassle. Why even ban them? It’s not changing the fact they exist and some of the best episodes.
Because most people people are stupid, emotional animals that couldn’t critically think their way out of a paper bag.
It’s the answer to SO many questions.
Ahoy, Mateys!
Has anyone watched the most recent season of The Rehearsal? Nathan mentions that an episode of his previous show “Nathan for You” was taken off Paramount Plus because it had a segment where he started a fashion line where the profits would go toward holocaust education and remembrance. So even though this was a positive thing, it still brings up the holocaust and is therefore too sensitive subject to air. He then proceeds to paint Paramount Plus as literal Nazis in proceeding episodes to drive his point home. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen his new show yet.
That was such an amazing clip, I was absolutely howling.
By the way, have you managed to convince anyone to watch The Rehearsals or Nathan for you? I like both these shows but it’s so hard to describe them to someone and make them even consider watching it
Rehearsals really is impossible to describe. I watched the first episode, and the last 2 minutes hit so hard, that I seriously questioned if the show is attempting to genuinely help the people or is it for the comedy. He walks the line so well. Can’t wait to watch more.
I really like the second season till now. It had some hard to get through moments, but the interconnected nature of the episodes gives it a bit more depth than season 1
Familiar with the shows but I’m now going to try both based on your recos, thank you!
Have fun! Curious to see what you think! :D
How to with John Wilson is the same vibe. I want to recommend it but it’s very difficult to explain why it is so funny
I love love this show. To me, it’s more like a comfy/slice of life kinda experience. I mean it still is funny, but it’s becoming one of my comfort shows
The COVID episode with the landlord really catapulted the show into a top tier show, at least in my own mind. It was sweet and funny and a perfect slice of actual life in those uncertain first weeks of the COVID shutdown, that just happened to be taken in the city hit hardest.
I recommended it, too, during the first season, and my wife joined me on the couch just as the topic veered to circumcision and the dude who invented a device for stretching his foreskin and she noped right out of the show forever.
This is why I still pirate stuff.
These are some of the best episodes ever. Boo on them for being censors
To be fair, Jared Has Aides was NOT made with the knowledge that Jared did in fact want to give children AIDS
Just watch them on their website for free https://www.southparkstudios.com/
Ironic. CANCELLED was mine when I clicked watch random episode.
I think Trey and Matt know something…
People pay to watch nutrek mostly
And yet they keep the Scott Tenorman episode?
Well yeah, that’s just murder/cannibalism. Nothing weird or immoral about that.
Murderers and cannibals don’t protest or boycott.
Apparently it’s because of Paramount Germany. Those episodes had, to quote them, “anti Semitic commentary”
It’s only Germany as well, other countries get all of them. Including the United States. This reaction to a Twitter post is overblown. Germany has laws that must be followed that’s all
Everyone here is reacting to a random person on Twitter as if they are telling the truth.
No, paramount blocks it in the US too if it gets blocked in Germany, so whilst the right thing to do is to block it for German accounts only, it’s not what happens
I was super confused when I got to the second D&D episode of Community. Turns out, streaming banned the first one because an Asian man wears drowface. He appropriated dark elf culture. Eventually I pirated the episode and was very happy. Good story.
That one pissed me off because the whole joke was him being blissfully unaware of the potential racial connotations of his dark black face makeup and everyone being like “Woah what the fuck man.” Like the joke wasn’t “Haha look at this caricature of black people” it was “Haha look at this dumbass doing something racist by mistake.”
The first D&D episode is so good, and it’s unfortunate that you miss what was an excellent story because of overreaching insensitivity.
I really disliked the first D&D episode, because (a) why are they pretending D&D is a turn-based game, it’s not like they’re in combat. (Nobody ever portrays D&D accurately on TV.) (b) this is actually peak Pierce-being-an-asshole. I rewatched the series and didn’t hate him nearly as much as my first watch, and I believe this episode’s omission is why.
Not saying it should have been removed, but I wouldn’t have picked any other episode over this one.
It’s the best and most heartfelt episode of the series. I feel bad for the actor that played fat Neil.They even address the blackface in the episode. I don’t know who are the mental midgets who make these decisions. Also, the cut episode of Bob and David is also idiotic.
because it was too close to blackface, i assume?
Probably, but like, that’s silly in this case
Thought I’d get a pic for reference:
aaand, I can see why it’s offensive. The joke is that he’s tonedeaf about blackface, and he didn’t wear any other elf clothes… so at first glance, it’s a guy in blackface with a white wig…
p.s. in a lot of modern depictions they’re a dark blue, or grey… I always played a drow in D&D and I never imagined my character as completely black.Meanwhile, Aerodynamics of Gender is good to go:
One of the best episodes of the show though for sure.
Yep. And that’s the joke.
Anyone notice that we never see All in the Family or The Jeffersons media, and haven’t for a decade or two? How odd. Two of the most popular sitcoms of all time just… disappeared.
Those shows taught my young self more about racism and it’s ills than anything else in life. Yes, Archie and George were racist AF! And they were the buffoons, always losing because of their boolshit. (OK, maybe it was too heavy handed for today’s audiences, I’ll grant that.)
Liberals: “NAOOWW! THAS RACISTH!”
Conservatives: “WOKE!”
What a damned shame. Fucking meatheads.
i feel that… it’s becoming a thing that can’t be talked about anymore.
on the other hand, if allowed more it’d be an excuse people make to make racist jokes… stuff like, “no the character is racist, and i’m showing why it’s bad”.also worth noting, they kept making Chevy Chase’s character racist on that show and he hates the writers for it and got in a lot of arguments.
As I’ve heard it, they kept putting in the scripts the kinds of things Chevy would say in real life, and he hated the writers for doing it.
utter bullshit
Not every joke lands. I think this is one of those where there’s some obvious intent behind it but the joke is a bit too high concept (and not really that funny tbh) in relation to the controversy. And I say this as a big community fan - they went for shock value and it didn’t really work because there was no punchline besides “it looks like blackface but technically isn’t blackface.”
Anyone who thinks a drow looks like a black person is racist
Thanks for letting me know. Bout time for a rewatch.
I went over to my laptop to check if you’re downloading the same one I’m seeding
unfortunately not, Im seeding 1-26 and you’re downloading 1-21. Would’ve been funny tho
Thank you for your service
what interface is that?
Running qBittorrent in headless mode (qbittorrent-nox running on my own server) with VueTorrent skin. This is the view in a browser.
Can I get headless qbittorrent if setup currently with docker?
Aslo, you chose a damn large file for Southpark.
75 GB for the whole South Park series doesn’t sound like a lot
I guess it depends on preference. When I check in Sonarr the largest file I can see is 35GB but I would have been choosing something around 15GB.
Is the quality 6 times better for the larger one?
Is the quality 6 times better for the larger one?
Probably not, but I tend to download at a quality where the compression doesn’t really feel noticeable
Fair point.
I run on bare metal because I’m more comfortable with it that way but I think there’s regularly updated containers that do just what you want.
linuxserver/qbittorrentlooks like a good bet.
oh, I didn’t know the qb web interface can be skinned. is it “just” visuals, or can they also add features?
I think its only adding UI features :). I count mobile friendly view as a feature, thought its only a visual change. The one I use.
Broooo two days before the day after tomorrow is fucking golden though.
