Apparently TikTok made sea shanties a thing now. Awesome! Because I'm a sea shanty nerd, I decided to make an "explainer". If you're new to sea shanties, or just want some recs, follow the thread!

customer support rant
Wrote a German email to customer support of a company that offers all their sites and services in German because they keep bugging me about paying for a subscription I already cancelled.
