Unsure if this is sarcasm or not, but the name of this instance is also what IKEA calls that stuffed animal - BLÅHAJ (pronounced blow high, translates directly to blue shark).

:(

Steam servers would have to blow up the same day it went out of business, I feel like Gabe’s dying breath would be spent hitting a killswitch for DRM before the service shut down. Maybe hyperbole and naive of me but I doubt the truth is far off.

I think your issue may be the direct download preference. Since a torrent file is not a hosted copy of pirated content, but merely a call sheet to other computers that are sharing it, in my experience they seem to stay up longer than hosted copies of videos. Not DMCA-immune but maybe more resistant? Private trackers aren’t scraped by Google the way other parts of the internet seem to be, which is how studios and creators track down their content and play DMCA whack-a-mole. I see quite a lot of OnlyFans and Patreon content on my private torrent sites.

I may be misunderstanding what Usenet is or how it works, but this is my anecdotal experience.

I know we’re supposed to just chuckle at the idea that a child is a psychopath, but there are a few legitimate holes with the meme:

The phone lines went down at the very beginning of the film from the snow storm that took a couple of days to fix.

Marv was doing recon in the beginning disguised as a cop and Kevin recognized him when he was being followed in the van.

Then the cops actually show up for a wellness check, but he doesn’t know they are real and is terrified that the burglars are coming back to break in.

Kevin tries numerous harmless, inventive ways of scaring them off first, like the big party or the movie dialogue with the firecrackers, but the burglars are so stupid and persistent, they FAFO by still entering the home, where he never kills either of them, but only then do they get hurt.

It may not be a flawless film, but this gaping plot hole that the meme describes isn’t quite accurate.
