Oof, sorry! At least you found out before it was too late.

Yikes, bullet dodged.

Hope you can find another job that'll give you at least one of those.


On my end I'm feeling kind of frustrated at the moment, and I'm not sure why.

Glad to hear you got out. Those MLMs are nothing but trouble.

Been there. Had an interview with a company a few years ago after my prior employer went under and thought it went pretty well, but the whole thing felt off- them being in a nondescript lot in an office park with no signage or anything indicating their presence kind of set off the klaxon in my head. Looked into them, and sure enough, they were one of the more known MLMs out there, and immediately after finding it out, I did something I've never done before or since: I ghosted.

Yesterday was rough for a number of reasons, time to bury it in shopping. Just kidding... mostly.

On a more positive note, I've been spam-listening to the Dynazenon OP. Should probably watch the show sometime, but committing to subscriptions is hard for me.

Admittedly I had to Google what MLM stood for. Google brought up results for multi-levelling marketing. Is that it?

Glad you got out of there!

So I've been starting a form of existential crisis, is the right word? IDK.

But one of my external drives got corrupted, sadly I have to format it and lose my vacation photos (the saving grace being that majority of them was uploaded on my facebook but still) and I have no problems redownloading the torrented shows.

But turns out that even after formatting my disk still experience problems and I conclude it's because the drive is now old. I've had it since 2013, I think? It's natural for externals to eventually break.

The 'existential crisis' part is that I have 4 externals (5 if I count the one I use on PS4) and now considering that all of them have a lifespan, I am now panicking since I need to be able to afford and replace them should they die. And not just that but eventually the SSDs on my PC will about to die in the future so I need to replace them. Ughhhhh.

Also yes, I know I'm a filthy pirate.

As someone with a large external hard drive full of content that would be very difficult to reprocure thanks to a litigious Japanese production studio, let me recommend Backblaze as a very cost-effective backup solution.

I've used it for a few years, and there's no upper-limit on what you can store there. If/when a local drive fails, they can ship you out an external drive with all of that archived content on it.

Worth taking a look at, if you're scared of losing files.

This is..... Pretty intriguing! $60 per year is a very good deal I'm gonna try it when I have a source of income, please remind me when I got a job.

I know that externals are meant to be backups, but I still tend to use them not as backups but extensions lol.

So I might as well prepare to buy 4 HDDs to replace mine, another one is also getting old so I am worried if it's gonna go busted. But one of them was actually an SSD from my laptop and apparebtly SSDs are stronger than HDDs.

But still, Backblaze sounds like a savior, especially for my 6 year old PC. Thanks Die!
