There's a lot of deeper calculation to consider there. Is it a full production show, or someone's YouTube project? Is the podcast a single person, or many? If it's many are they in the same location? How much electricity is used to deliver your chosen medium to you?

Ultimately though none of that matters. If a podcast is what entertains you and makes your human condition livable that doesn't mean it does the same for Jack.

If electricity is such an issue than you using whatever electronic device to relay data to a server where my electronic device retrieved it from another server with who knows how many hops in between each for both of us is not a good use of your time.

If instead, as I suspect, you see value in harm reduction you need to realize that not everyone can reduce harm in the same way.

Right now, somewhere, someone is getting by because they can't wait for the next part of their favorite TV show or movie. Chances are you may even know one such person and not realize it. If that's gone their tenuous grasp on life may slip away. Even if you are ok with that, and I hope you're not, what positive impacts might that person have had that they will be unable to because they just can't take it anymore.

Life is hard. Stop trying to make people feel guilty for not living it the same way as you.

Probably. We need something to get through the day to day of being a person even before we get into all the horrible things all around the world. If we avoided everything we do that has unacceptable ramifications we'd pretty much have to crawl into a cave and die.

Use the modern tools you have access to to improve lives, not try and make others feel guilty for not having done enough.

It may seem like it, but August 2022 wasn't three years ago.

Even if it was that doesn't really seem so disqualifying after we've just had a new season of Futurama and anticipate a new season of King of the Hill.

Orville may not have the financial draw, but I bet Seth had more fun with that than any of the animated stuff.

There is as much right to be an asshole as there is to not put up with assholes

Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don't use GitHub but I'd be surprised if they did. There's been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you're using to access GitHub.

In all fairness that actress showed up fairly often for playing a dead character

That's a very big part of it.

When fucknugget wanted to start a company he had plenty of credit either on his own, with his name, or both. If he blew 50k in an attempt he could try again next week.

If I blew 50k I'd be homeless.

It's way easier to high stakes gamble when you won't notice you lost.

Before merging with Yutani?

I'd wager prevalence is part of their problem. Jokes get tired after a while, but that doesn't always mean they stop.

PHP, like any language, has its problems, but it seems to get poked at a lot more often. But making the same joke over and over has been a problem long before reddit was a thing.
