Because here in America, when they take my money, it's to give away to oil companies and weapons dealers. Not to give us all health care and affordable housing.

To streamers, YouTubers, etc. Your Patreon supporters are called Patrons. Not fucking "Patreons."

I mean, they made a whole anime about it.

Beheading kings.

All this going on, and would you look at that, the very traditional looking couple in the middle look perfectly fine. In fact, they look pretty happy about life. As does everyone else. The horror.

Edit: zoomed in a little more. I guess their supposed to be angry? I thought the guy was happy at first. Not sure what exactly they have to be angry about, as literally no one is doing anything to them.

Made the switch from Plex to jellyfin last week. Runs so much smoother, far fewer issues, my NAS isn't lighting itself on fire, and I don't have unwanted features being shoved down my throat every time I open the client app. A few small UI things I don't like, but Plex had just fucked up the exact same UI element on me anyway.

I think it's finally time I get around to setting up a second sonarr instance to customize for anime.

As long as everything is wired properly, and there's not too much going on on any individual circuit, that's an awesome setup for so many things. Imagine you're a streamer/YTer, OF girl, maybe musician with a big recording setup, etc. How nice is it to not need a shit ton of extension cords, power strips, splitters, etc, to plug in all of your camera chargers, lights, audio devices, other assorted devices required for such a setup. Even though I didn't film/stream when I was painting/crafting, I still needed so many power strips to plug in my lights, airbrush compressor, paint booth fans and lights, Dremel and other tool chargers, laptop, 3d printer and wash station, mini fridge, and other assorted items. I only have 2 outlets. So yeah.

The original Star wars trilogy was overrated, the sequels were underrated, and I'd rate them all to be equally mediocre.

Funny, considering I've moved over to a paid proton account as my primary email, and my former primary email/Gmail account, with its ability to instantly become infinitely many disposable email addresses, is now used as exactly that. This same procedure occured many years ago, when I made my yahoo email into the disposable junk mail home, and my shiny new Gmail became my primary. I wonder how many years it be until proton becomes my disposable, and some as-of-yet to be created service becomes my new primary email. Or maybe email will finally be dead by then, and we'll use something else entirely.

I will say, even after all of these years, and using the living shit out of my Gmail account in many, many places, I still only get two or three spam emails at most during the entire year.

Run updates without me having to worry that "whoops, an update was fucked, and the system is not unbootable anymore. Enjoy the next 6 hours of begging on forums for someone to help you figure out what happened, before being told that the easiest solution is to just wipe your drive and do a fresh install, while you get berated by strangers for not having the entirety of the Linux kernel source code committed to memory."

Photoshop, Fences, Plex, Steam, Unraid. I just highly prefer them to any alternatives I have tried. And believe me, I have tried every alternative to Photoshop and Fences that I could find. They just don't do it. And because of those two in particular, I have to add Windows to the list.

Oh, and I guess Sync for Lemmy. The only reason I even know what Lemmy is, is the fact that the Sync for Reddit app stopped working and basically said, "Yeah, move to Lemmy, idiot."

Chinese food. The common fast food type here in the US. Yeah, I can spend a bunch of time, work, and money to make orange chicken, boneless spare ribs, crab rangoon, teriyaki, coconut shrimp, and pork fried rice. Or, I can go 5 minutes up the street, and pay my favorite restaurant $20 for a big plate with all of that, with absolutely no work on my part, and it all tastes way better.

And here I thought nothing was gonna go right this year at all.

I went the route of accepting their 2-month trial of Premium, and immediately disabled it from continuing after the 2 months. Hopefully that's enough time to come up with an acceptable solution that works the way I want it to. Honestly, if Premium was like $5/month, they'd get my money. But for almost triple that? Fuck no, never happening.

Thou shalt not fuck kids. They definitely meant for that to be in there, right? Guys...?

What's weird, is that I don't have any filters at all, and I have nsfw content allowed in the settings. Yet, I've never seen any porn through the sync app. Like, not even once. But I keep seeing people talk about how much porn there is all over the place. I'm very confused.

Privacy.com card, limit $1. Deezer premium free trial with fake email, immediately lock and delete privacy card. Login to Deezer in the deemix-gui app. Proceed to download all the music you could possibly want, in lossless format, until the trial runs out. Proceed to create a new privacy card and a new Deezer premium trial with a new fake email. Problem solved.

Politicians and guillotines are terrible on their own, but when combined....

And they want it that way. Because they can look at their constituents, point a finger at everywhere/everyone else, and say "look what THEY'RE doing to you! They're causing ALL of your problems!" And those people continue to eat it up, every single time.
