antonim

Imagine yourself being confused and baffled by something, and asking "Really?". The intonation is rising, as is usual in questions. Imagine yourself hearing someone say something you are completely confident is absurdly false or a lie, and you want to suggest to the person that they're wrong and you know the truth, by sarcastically asking "Really?". The intonation is falling, closer to ordinary statements of fact.

OOP is using the full stop at the end of his "questons" to suggest the second, sarcastic intonation.

This one? I'll definitely give it a try.

FYI, there are multiple methods to download "digitally loaned" books off IA, the guides exist on reddit. The public domain stuff is safe, but the stuff that is still under copyright yet unavailable by other means (Libgen/Anna's Archive, or even normal physical copies) should definitely be ripped and uploaded to LG.

The method I use, which results in best images, is to "loan" the book, zoom in to load the highest resolution, and then leaf through the book. Periodically extract the full images from your browser cache (with e.g. MZCacheView). This should probably be automatised, but I'm yet to find a method, other than making e.g. an Autohotkey script. When you have everything downloaded, the images can be easily modified (if the book doesn't have coloured illustrations IMO it is ideal to convert all images to black-and-white 2-bit PNG), and bundled up into a PDF with a PDF editor (I use X-Change Editor; I also like doing OCR, adding the bookmarks/outline, and adding special page numbering if needed - but that stuff can take a while and just makes the file easier to handle, it's not necessary). Then the book can be uploaded to proper pirate sites and hopefully live on freely forever. Also there are some other methods you can find online, on reddit, etc.

Produce infinite copies of bread loaves, and then get arrested because the baker lobby doesn't like that.

So basically you're the protagonist of this twitter(?) shitpost:

I don't know why the dinosaur memes have been on the rise recently, but I like it.

I've just reported you to the mods. It was nice to know you.

As a gay guy, I call bullshit on that, unless you're bi and have first-hand experience.

Why they were down, you mean? In their TG channel they mentioned a cyberattack, that's all I know.

True, the .li domain was still fine.

There's also Anna's Archive, which I use primarily, since it provides downloads not just from their own db, but links to Libgen and other places where the given book is available.

Most domains (other than .li) were down for several days, making people worried it's gone for good.
