I’ve tried multiple Jellyfin apps for TV and all but VoidTV refuse to play Atmos with DV. 5.1 works, but 7.1 doesn’t. Including the offical Jellyfin app. It’s odd because it used to work until it didn’t.

(Past the actual joke in the meme)

Same here. It’s why I can’t get through books with lots of descriptions of environment or characters. It takes a lot of brain power to visualize and it’s just the specific word I’m reading at the moment, divorced from the entire description (e.g. character descriptions, I can blurrily/faintly imagine just the eyes, then just the hair and it evaporates quickly). I’m jealous of people who can actually play movies in their head.

This is my mother. Then she’s mad/disappointed the cake and cookies didn’t turn out well and more often than not they end up in the garbage. I do not understand her.

I think it’s been proven sugar is literally an addictive substance; it’s hard to say no when it’s not your rational mind in control.

A coworker at my previous work laughed when I said I’m addicted to sugar in the similar way he’s addicted to cigarettes. Most people seem to be ignorant about it.

I come from an ethnicity of starvation and poverty, and there’s growing research showing that diabetes actually used to be a protective adaptation.

In a similar vein this is why island nations have the highest rate of obesity. Their metabolism adapted to scarcity. But some people want to convince everyone that it’s as simple as calories-in-calories-out, as if every body works the same…

YT’s own search is garbage anyway. Whenever I try to use it, it’s completely useless. Language preferences are also non-existent anymore, it seems. Even if I set everything to English and the query is also in English, it still gives me only results in local language.

Same here, but on a different site ahem. The actor is literally listed under that name, so looking them up needs an actual query engineering to avoid looking like a pedo.

The only streaming platform I sub to is Dropout and I happily do it. I believe I stumbled upon Breaking News first, watched first season or so on the high seas. I was in tears from laughing and I’ve been subbed ever since. Great value for the money, imo.

Definitely. But unfortunately, flippers (and people with awful taste) do this all the time. So at least LLMs and they have something in common — soullessness.

Typing this as I have a Dota stream in the background, lol. Also well over 2k hours in it. I haven’t touched anything but Turbo every since it was introduced. But at this point I play one match evey 4 months, and that’s with my SO. I don’t do more than that because either teammates are toxic/griefing, or my SO gets toxic or I get annoyed at everyone else. Back in the day it would bring the absolute worst out of me. Now even if I feel like playing a bit more, I quit as soon as the negativity starts hitting. I just go play a single player game instead. It’s rarely chill to play without a full stack.

I loved The Sims, especially with expansion packs like Makin’ Magic. I still think that was one of the best expansion packs in the entire franchise. I’m firmly a The Sims 2 gamer, though I haven’t played in years, because it’s too addictive. The Sims 3 always performed so poorly for me that I never played past 3 minutes on each install. I was looking forward to The Sims 4, so I was so disappointed and shocked they managed to fuck it up. How are the freedom and customization worse than any of the previous versions, like wtf?

I recently bought Paralives, but haven’t tried it yet. It might scratch an itch, however, probably not in the right way. All EA had to do was take the best of The Sims 2 and 3, improve performance and expand on customization. But I guess that would make them actually competent, and we can’t have that.

Everything others said, plus you can choose your client. For example, I use VoidTV for Jellyfin on my TV which offers a different design (though I use it because it’s the only Jellyfin client where DD video+audio work).

Not everything is AI slop. Oldest instance I could find of this with a quick search is from 2019.

The latest game should have been Count the beans instead of rice, smh.

Slovakia, are you okay?

My father’s counterpoint is asking who will take care of me in old age. I genuinely feel a degree of disgust knowing that reason played a decent part why he had children. Maybe he should have tried to be a better parent and spouse before thinking about that.

Edit: a letter.

Not entirely sure what the point of your comment is.

However, most influencers/“content creators” aren’t wealthy. Only the top of the top. I can’t tell you the percentage, but I know for a fact many of them are compensated only in paid travel and accommodation when traveling to promote whatever they’re paid to promote. They don’t get actual money. I know because there’s an influencer in my partner’s extended family who was pushed into the “business” very young by their parent.

There are also many who earn just enough as if they were working a regular 9-5 job. And if their viewership drops — which it usually does — they’re fucked.

Funny how he finally managed to buy his own place after ditching LTT. Just another proof how much wealth the rich are extracting from us.

(PS: no severance package after working for so long for LTT is such a dick move)

I haven’t watched LTT in a long time (basically ever since it was publicly obvious the money got to his head and everything that comes with ego), so when I saw somewhere he bought a jet, I first thought it was April Fools. Then after a short research I realized he’s for real. My partner, on the other hand, was convinced I fell for it, and it took me a while to prove him otherwise.

Absolutely wild what Linus managed to convince (some of?) his fanboys. People will suck off filthy rich assholes like it’s their job.

Adding Summit to the list of clients for Android. I personally like that one the best.

I learned my lesson when my banking app had an error with location detection and wouldn’t let me pay. Luckily I was with someone I could borrow the money from. I now always carry a backup, lol.
