polyester concept posted:private movie torrent sites that reminds me, is that site still around? i remember it getting shut down after some leaked screenshots on some social media site, then at some point i got a "we're back!" email, but by then i had a sabnzbd/sonarr/radarr setup, so i never really went back

There were at least 4 private privacy off-site spinoffs. The dpph spinoff died. The other 3 are still around, but two of the three are pretty anemic. There are an enormous number of other private trackers out there now though - most of which are bigger or more active than any of the spinoffs and which sometimes have their own internal release groups too.

generally weird how the local business discovery/cross-promotion/services hype died out, e.g. your foursquares, groupons, google places, facebook invested heavily, etc. all have mostly rotted in the last 5 years. genuinely seemed like it had potential.

I guess those companies survive on overworked rich people not caring about how much things cost and having no time to do anything different.

yeah. ive mentioned it before but when i was drinkin i had a pretty regular weekly grubhub habit when i'd go on a bender, and it eventually got so expensive (both the booze and the food) that i had to stop. it is unholy and bad to pay $43 after everything for a couple chalupas, four soft tacos and a baja blast to be thrown through my front window, and poo poo was always cold and they never remembered my hot sauce requests

when i was a property manager at my last apartment complex we had this one couple who would routinely order late-night drunk fast food on doordash, it would get dropped off at the entrance of the building. but they would pass out and forget about it so it would still be sitting there when i took my dog out in the morning lol.
