Is there some metric that shows amount of time a seeder has had files available but not necessarily actively seeding?

Archivists like you should get accolades for keeping the more rarely sought after media. More so than we need yet another seed of Avengers.

Thank you for seeding them. Unless it's weird porn.

... it's weird porn, isn't it ...

If it's not busy, no, I never cared and usually enjoyed it. If it is busy, yes, annoying. Large tips make up for it partially.

And clock the vibe of the bar. I worked at a place where anything more complicated than a screwdriver would get you side eye. I worked at another bar known for artisan cocktails; the mistake there was to be overly prescriptive to the bartender and not let them make you their own take on a drink.

My uncle, from the time he was a little boy, liked nothing more than farming and gardening. He has one friend and they talk exclusively about growing stuff. He had to be forced to finish high school because all he wanted to do was wrench on a tractor. He barely talks unless it's farming related.

He apparently takes after other men in the family, always one or two per generation, who were pretty much mute except when it came to their special interest. And they were 100% focused on their special interest.

Back in the day, it was "Uncle Bob just has those family genes. We get one of them every once in a while. He sure is a helluva good farmer." Today he would be diagnosed with autism.

Yep. And adopted a white baby. Like, intentionally, specifically a white baby.

The slideshow of the lives of the couple included photos from a Black Lives Matter protest. One of the two getting married is a cop. Then I noticed Thin Blue Line decor around the gift table. The other half of the couple is Black.

I call AI slop. That quoted paragraph is terrible.

"A fifth of children are in broken homes or parentless". Lol, as if kids raised by a single parent need to be adopted by a married couple. Bullshit.

I follow the directions on the container. Mine doesn't say to let it set, so it stays in as long as it takes me to give it and my scalp a good scrub.

Edit: I also use something called co-wash, not conditioner.

Feels bad, man. I just hope other countries pay attention. Y'all are seeing swings to the right too. Germany, Canada, Sweden, France, more, check yourselves before you find yourselves in the same spot.

Lol, no. They were able to have a house and multiple kids on one salary.

Watch some rugby and highlights from last weekend. MLR in the US. Off week for Six Nations.

would a "standard" commoner from back then laugh at how 'soft' our world has become from their point of view?

No, they'd either want the same or they'd think we're evil magicians and want to burn us at the stake. Who tf wants more infant mortality (except for US Republicans and their ilk).

"Ah yes, dying in childbirth really builds character!"

"Contracting polio really put hair on my son's chest and made him into the man he is today!"

"I'm so glad I can look forward to a life of hard physical labor and and death at 40. Not like those future weaklings who might survive into their 70s and beyond."

"Oh, boy. Chattel slavery has been great for us. The family that picks cotton together, sticks together ... until our owners decide to sell us off."

While I have some savings, I'm not wealthy and I'd rather be employed. The best time for me to look for a better job would be while employed and on ok financial footing.

I'm also in a position where I could insulate myself from a lot of toxic personalities and "quiet quit" to some degree before getting fired. And getting fired would mean unemployment benefits where I live, so I'd be ok with that.
