why are people even fucking with gatcha games the wikipedia random article button is $0 and i just rolled a 10th century byzantine encyclopedia on my 17th try
I'm not doing zinetober because I just learned about it, but seeing @koddlet doing silly little zines made me feel like making and sharing my own. It's simple and fun and low-pressure, which is great for me right now.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
「 an apple a day keeps the doctor at bay, 」
some people have asked about making zines, and i've seen a lot of people in the tags talk about wanting to make some but don't know how... so here is a zine (technically two) about making zines! wowza! pardon the handwriting lol
there are other methods of making zines that require a stapler or sewing, but this one-page zine is the simplest form of it.
i hope this makes sense, feel free to ask if anything is unclear :]
Oh I've seen this one before
As far as I know, he also:
- had a phone with Internet access from the very start (his whole "tactic" based on using Craigslist - getting and then reselling free stuff, and also finding a place to crash in)
- was monitored by a doctor the entire time. Obviously, in practice a homeless person most likely wouldn't be able to afford regular doctor visits just for check ups. That was of course not being disclosed during the challenge btw and only came out after he gave up, so who knows what other stuff he was doing in secret
- he had the knowledge that he can "quit" and return back to normal, any day, any time. So all that talk about determination, proving a point, and "staying hopeful" is complete bullshit and just not realistic. When you're in your lowest moment you don't HAVE THAT. You don't have the back up plan in the back of your head that if anything, you can just go back to normal. It's way, way harder to pick yourself up off the ground then. It's way harder to even survive.
It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.
I LOOOVE his angry lil tippy taps
