Ever Since Sites Like The New York Times Caught On To The Private Browsing Trick To Get Around Their

ever since sites like the new york times caught on to the private browsing trick to get around their bullshit paywall, i’ve been using the google translate trick instead. google translate isn’t restricted to text you paste; you can also paste in a url and it will generate a link to a translated version of the webpage you wanted. it’s this service you’ll be using

go to google translate and paste the url of the paywalled article you’re trying to read on the lefthand side (where you’d normally paste foreign text). set the “from” language (the one on the left side) to russian, arabic, japanese, etc. – any language that doesn’t use the latin alphabet. set the “to” language (the one on the right side) to english. it will generate a url on the right, and you can click it and enjoy

(the reason you want to pick a language that doesn’t use the latin alphabet is that false cognates are inevitable. if you don’t want to read an article that’s mostly intelligible but every instance of the word “after” is changed to “anus”, for example, you don’t want to go with german)

this DOES NOT work with every paywall! i just tested it on a number of sites, and it doesn’t work on wall street journal. but it does work on the new york times, the la times, the washington post, and the san diego union-tribune. i make no guarantees!

hope people find this helpful!

RED LION THEORY

GUYS I THINK I JUST DISCOVERED THE MOST AMAZING/TERRIFYING HEADCANON EVER: K so we all know Zarky had the Red Lion at the beginning of the first season right? We also know they had it for AT LEAST 19 Years, because Keith is 18 in canon and Krolia knew the frequency when she can me to earth for the blue lion. But how did it get there? So I have two theory's. One is that the Glalra just found it, but that's boring. So here my second theory: Zarkon had the Red Lion for the past 10000 years. He captured Red when he Killed Alfor.

LET THEM BE HAPPY TOGETHER

TELL HIM HE’S LOVED

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!
