    1. Meet woman, don’t be weird.

    2. Gradually build a loving, trusting relationship.

    3. She has to get surgery and she’ll be bed-bound while she recovers.

    4. “Will you take care of me, Anon?”

    5. Lord of the Rings marathon. The director’s cuts. She can’t run.

      When you’re torrenting and you’re planning to watch with someone else, you decide what you’re watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr can’t find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with aren’t going to be in the same room, you’ll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate that’s low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it. Ideally you’d block out some time to test and troubleshoot Cytube too.

      You can also press one button to configure a torrent to download first and last, allowing you to play a video while it streams in.

      Anon can’t even torrent right, she just got scared that he’d be too stupid to put on the condom right.

    Once I was with a girl and taking too long to get a torrent going so she whips out her phone and does it herself. Safe enough to say that we are together now.

    What’s with the “ooga booga woman scared by tech” meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it’s not like it’s underground.

    And just have it downloaded? “Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then.” Then start the download. If it’s popular, you’ll have the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she’s that “confused” by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone is interested, I can’t imagine setting something up would make them leave? “Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a… A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???”

    I don’t know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya’ll.

    “What do you mean the movie will come from the laptop?” Boy, bye

    It’s Usenet babe. Get this… it’s been around since 1980! Isn’t that wild, babe? It just goes to show, if a distribution system isn’t broke, don’t fix it.

      Hahah I was gonna come mention Usenet but glad you already did.

      A month ago I was frustrated waiting on some torrent and decided to finally give Usenet a try. All I gotta say is - why didn’t I do this switch years ago???

          IIRC that might have been the reason I previously disregarded the idea of trying Usenet. However if it’s not on Usenet, one can always fall back to torrents :p Haven’t had to do that yet. *knocks on wood*

    This is why you have a server running jellyfin qbittorent, Jackett, sonarr, radarr, all behind a good VPN.

    Anon is obviously a noob and deserves the walkout.
