Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven’t shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.

They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don’t have a track record to show that they probably don’t work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.

If you’re a good seeder as you’ve claimed, then working your way up shouldn’t be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.

Ah, I see. https://thesciencepost.com/local-cherry-orchard-only-hires-anti-vaccers-production-increases-by-340/

Me either, but assuming it’s a real screenshot, the date is 2018. I didn’t do much digging, but 2018 saw an increase in cherry crops according to this source https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/usda-2018-cherry-crop-production-up-from-last-year.

Its a satirical response to the first post, based on the timestamp.

My seedbox accepts crypto payments through Coinbase. Coinbase recently started requiring personal info when paying.

This type of spruce produces needles instead of rings. So there are 9,000+ needles on the tree, and they add on a hundred or so years to account for people picking them off in passing.

Toxicologist, toxicity, minuscule, fluoridated – your big doctor words are just trying to trick us!

The calculator on my phone has an “AC” button, further confusing the situation.

DST is what most people prefer. It’s the switch back to standard time that’s dumb.

The politics are left of center on social issues, but I wouldn’t say it’s as bad as Reddit. I see a lot of anti-trump stuff, but that has nothing to do with his politics.

Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.

Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you’ll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.

I have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on grocery stores. Gift Cards are supposed to be excluded from that, but it still works at some stores. I used to buy Amazon gift cards, effectively making Amazon 6% cheaper.

There’s some psychological stuff to consider, though. Did I spend more on Amazon because there was a gift card balance? I like to tell myself no, but I probably did.

Oh no, I fell for it

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Do you mean in a drop of water?

It’s sarcasm because nobody should be held liable.

Seems like the electric companies should also pay a hefty fine, as they provided the needed infrastructure to enable the piracy. /s
