ConstantineDTW got banned for no reason from Twitch. If y'all could sign this and spread the word, awesome. Even sharing will be helpful.

It happened yesterday while he wasn't even streaming. Twitch has been less than helpful in telling him wtf is going on.

Thanks in advance

Boosting this. Twitch did not give a stated reason for the ban and still won't when pressed. Having attended a good number of his streams, I can't think of anything that would warrant an immediate indefinite Twitch ban with no warning whatsoever. This is absolute buffoonery on their part.

LEAVE SPOTIFY you can literally just leave, it isn't hard to download music and it is so easy to listen to music on bandcamp or soundcloud or youtube (with ublock origin on firefox setting it up takes 5 minutes but after that you're good). it's not any harder than setting up a spotify account and you won't have to fucking beg for the privilege of skipping songs or fucking reading lyrics and you won't have to listen to ads. please i'm fucking begging you they are bleeding you dry you don't have to take this indecency. there are so many other podcast apps. there are so many other ways to make playlists. you can spend that 10 dollars a month on supporting small artists. i will personally help you with finding solutions to fill the spotify-shaped hole in your life if you need it but god i hate spotify so much.

if it really means that much to you then i'm sorry for yucking your yum, it's not the worst thing in the world i guess, but if you're just on the app because of inertia i implore you to explore other options

i can also tell you for certain that if you borrow CDs and they don't work and you go in and tell them, they'll order a replacement and offer to hold it for you

so like. ripping library CDs is a public service kinda!

Can't recommend iBroadcast highly enough, it's a perfectly straightforward music service where you upload your own music and listen to it wherever. Good web app, good mobile app, nothing fancy. One of those services I subscribe to despite not using any of the premium features just because I want it to keep existing.

@jaywallace1 asked:

I know this is dumb, but I don't want to go to Twitter to find your original post on the subject. Can you please introduce CoHost to the concept of truck lettering?

every single town in the united states contains at least one pickup truck with adhesive letters on the side that spell out something almost exactly like:

JOHN P ANGUS ATTORNEY AT LAW FUCKED ME OVER

you've probably seen one of these, and we can all imagine what Type Of Guy does this. something went poorly for him; it was probably his fault, or nobody's fault in particular, but either way someone needs to be blamed so that he doesn't have to face the intolerable situation of possibly appearing to be the cause of his own misery.

he has no friends who will sit and listen to him exculpate himself however - probably because he has been doing nothing except that for five years and everyone's done with his shit - so he buys $85 of stick-on letters at home depot and makes this little mobile billboard. this solves the problem: now "everyone in town knows" (he believes this is a valid concept even if he lives in a city of five million people) and there is no way anyone will ever blame him; instead, this lawyer's life will be "ruined" because now "everyone knows." the problem is definitely solved now, and the guy will not continue to be even angrier every day than he was the previous day, forever.

anyway, i call these "truckletter guys", and you can use it as a verb. i recommend it. if you are typing out some insufferable screed and you know the entire time that you're full of shit and just making things up to make yourself look blameless, congratulations: you are trucklettering.

where I live, the people who do trucklettering generally don't whine or complain about random attorneys or other people who supposedly screwed 'em over once.

nah, they're too busy spraypainting messages like "WHO IS JOHN GALT?" all over their truck's tailgate. honestly, that alone says enough about the kinds of people who live here. (rural tennessee, btw)

@Sutekh94

bringing this back because i saw another Galt Truck today. this time there was a bunch of "WHO IS JOHN GALT?" posters and other messages glued to their tailgate. at least they didn't use spraypaint???
