Yes! I signed up for my local library! Their ebook system is well... Subpar... So I also signed up for my parents local library in another state and can now use libby! It's amazing!

I actually saw firefly last summer and the year before flying around my neighborhood. I will say though, that I saw way less of the last year than the year before. It's made me wonder if I'll even see them at all this summer.

I just buy mine online. No driving needed.

When I looked at it, it said 7 months ago. So someone braved it relatively recently.

And they've already transitioned to using the Steamboat Willie model for the opening of their new movies as part of their trademark. As soon as I saw that happening I knew it wouldn't matter that the copyrights to it would finally go away because Disney found a new way around it with the trademarking.

You forgot about that beautiful thing also known as your local library!

Mine is around 2 miles away from my home and only charges me 10¢ per b&w sheet. Its absolutely perfect for any printing needs I may have.

Prior to buying our house, the longest I had lived in one house/apt for the past decade was no more than 2 years. After being in our house for a year, it legit felt weird to not be packing up our things and getting ready to vacate. It was amazing to not have to go through the stress of finding a decent place at a decent price and then moving. It also felt so much better knowing how much some of my friends pay for their Apts and that my mortgage is cheaper than their tiny ass one bedroom. And that my monthly price isn't going to increase next year like everyone else who's renting and needs to renew their leases. Yeah, we're the ones who take care of our own maintenance and yard work. But everything we've done so far would be things that we would have taken care of ourselves in a rented house.

The responsibility is more yes. The decrease in stress in regards to finding a new place to live constantly, the general stress of moving, and not having a place that you can legitimately call home has made us feel like this has by far been the superior choice.

This is what I do. On the rare occasions I need to print something, I just pop down the street to the library and do it there.

Once people on reddit start noticing the decrease in content or the increase in reposting bots, there'll be more movement towards here. We're still in our infancy and working through massive growing pains just dealing with the current influx of people. We just have to give it time and also make sure that we're participating in communities.

The last time I scrolled through my Facebook feed, I saw more ads than actual posts from people I'm friends with. I couldn't spend more than a few minutes on there considering it was like 1 in 8 posts was by someone I follow or am friends with and the rest were ads.

Boost on android and Apollo on my iPad. Absolutely fantastic apps that made the experience so much better. I don't even remember the last time I used the ofifical reddit app. Though, I haven't used reddit since the blackout began.
