nvm, it stalled after a couple of seconds

    As it turns out, there was a different torrent with 100+ seeders for the same movie in another tracker, it downloaded in 5 mins, instead of the estimated 1:30 hours from seychelles…

    The crazy thing to me is that people devoted thousands of hours to film some of these beautiful, low budget documentaries and films and just… After so much commitment, not even the company you sold the copyright to cares anymore. If not for these beautiful seeders, I wouldn’t have ever seen their work.

    I’ve never heard of Seychelles in my life before, now I’ve seen it referenced twice in the past hour.

      Supposedly it’s more interesting than Maldives, but Maldives are a better place to relax. I haven’t been to either archipelago, but for a while, I’ve wanted to. Without any computers or kids. Just escape for a week in beautiful weather, let other people worry about everything.

        That’s pretty much the context of the other reference to it. I watched a Walk With Me Tim video where he stayed in a beach villa in Doha and recommended this as a superior alternative.

        A vacation without kids or responsibilities sounds nice, but TBH the last time I was without my kid for a prolonged period - when I was moving into my house and the mother and kid were still at the old house - I just really missed them. I remember they had left a little model triceratops on the back of the toilet, which is not something I ever thought would make me emotional, but it sure did whenever I saw it.

          That’s completely understandable, but I work from home. I don’t get “alone time” at the office, nor do I get to escape from work at home. I started doing b2b work but the problem is that once you get paid for every single hour you work, it gets harder to say no to extra work.

          It’s all for them though. There’s still over a decade till the oldest is old enough to move out and by then I’d like to own at least one home per child so they don’t have to feel like slaves like I did in my first crappy job living in my first rental apartment. Of course I’ll have to figure out how to raise them in such a manner that they won’t take everything for granted. I know I would’ve squandered any windfall when I was 20.

    I should seed my copy of Freaked 🤔. It’s the best quality version I have ever found, the movie isn’t available on any streaming service, and I doubt there’s a helluva lot of people who have this version (it took me forever to find it when I got it myself; so many are only like 240p and both look and sound like complete ass).
