“So long as my end is later than theirs…” says the capitalist.

It will probably be Jellyfin. I’ve dabbled with it in the past, but it’s likely the best option once I finish transitioning to Linux anyway. I’ve been working on a home server to handle all media related activities instead of using my desktop 24/7, so this is something I’ll incorporate into that project.

I don’t get what the point of this is. I have never paid a cent for Plex. If I ever want to access my library remotely, I’ll use something else.

I’m not putting my lips on that.

It’s nice to have a clinical name for Beavis and Butt-head face.

Fuck all these lying sacks of shit.

As a former born and raised Southern Baptist, it angers and saddens me knowing that - despite the trouble and injustice they may inflict - they are shackled with lies.

That may be the most apt analogy ever.

I’m note quite cynical enough to believe our votes are totally meaningless… yet. And if it comes to that, it’s our job to overthrow our oppressors by any means necessary. I think our discontent will spread over time until eventually reaching a critical mass. Every person living today except the (extremely elderly) has grown up in a “peaceful” world built on a foundation of death and suffering. It is our collective failure that has allowed it all to collapse, and it will be our collective responsibility to one day correct it.

It’s not really malaise; if there was a societal will in this country we would pass laws mandating green energy adoption. But we, as a society, do not. You or I may not have much individual impact, but the government and corporations are us when you get down to it. We all stand complicit because as a collective we do not want to experience the pain of giving up our luxury.

Edit: By we I refer to American citizens.

Genius does not have a beauty requirement.

How’s that boot taste?

The stranglehold oil has on the entire world is staggering. On one hand it brings amazing technology and possibilities, so we all lap it up. However, it really does seem to be the root of so many economic problems, which cause myriad other issues. We all, to some degree, pull a “Doesn’t look like anything to me…” when it comes to admitting our dependence on oil.

We are addicts.

As a former evangelical, I feel similarly. Main difference is I don’t wonder what is wrong with the rest of them; brainwashing seldom leads to good outcomes.

TIL that capitalism didn’t exist before we started using oil. The problem is so obvious, it’s like the whole world has Stockholm syndrome toward the oil companies. We all stand complicit.

Brain damage still hurts so my point stands.

Hurt people hurt people.

That’s the best part: We don’t know! There are so many taxes and fees and BS spread over so many things that it is very difficult to calculate the total percentage accurately. 40% seems high, but it’s probably not far off when you add everything up.

You’ve got it. I loved Final Fight and dreamed of a game like that but with Street Fighter characters and special moves. I think Streets of Rage is a bit closer to this idea, but I never got to play it as I was a SNES kid back in the day.

I always wished for a Street Fighter side scrolling beat em up.
