I’m right there with ya 😂. They all are IMHO, but society seems to have applied a sliding scale based on how popular a given religion is.

It isn’t dead?? This ruins my day.

At the end of the day I guess it’s about brand respectability (same reason some religions are cults and some aren’t, IMHO)

This is something that I learned after having kids. There are more things I want to do than I have time to do them. I needed to learn the skill of being selective because time is a zero sum game, unfortunately.

Author was Ivy educated I take it?

Do not “buy” from these places. They don’t even own the content they are selling. Your access to the show is contingent upon Amazon Prime Video continuing to have license agreements with the owner of the content. As soon as their (separate) deal with the company that owns the content expires (and it will eventually), you will lose access to that content.

On the title’s product page, you’re shown available purchase options. Note: Buying a title adds it to My Stuff and will generally be available to you for download or streaming, but may become unavailable due to licensing restrictions or for other limited reasons; renting a title will add it there for a limited period. Rented titles stay in your video library for 30-days from the date of the rental. However, once you press play on the rented title, you have at minimum 48-hours to finish watching it. Some titles have longer viewing periods.

Yeah, good to do for web ui, but none of my friends and family ever use the web ui. They are all on TVs. VPNs are probably easier to setup than mTLS if you’re having people use their computers.

Oh, I didn’t mean to say I was using Plex there. Jellyfin + domain + reverse proxy is what I do for both Jellyfin and Seerr. I was just saying people who say “wireguard is the only way to go” aren’t taking into account all workflows, like sharing with family and having them connect via their TVs.

I also just don’t want family and friends on my home network all the time, haha.

Is it? I’ve heard it is fine as long as you are running a reverse proxy, using https, and following the conventional wisdom.

Exactly, I am not going to troubleshoot VPNs with my mother in law when they have an issue.

Seriously! I completely melted.

It is taco Tuesday, afterall

I do both. Wireguard VPN for anything that’s just me. Expose via nginx proxy for things that are shared with friends and family.

We’re getting a 2nd season, right? They shot it but it hasn’t been cut and finished yet.

I know scammers will get people to install remote access programs on PC, but hadn’t heard of it on Android. It does seem like some kind of middle ground though…

I found that you get the biggest upvote response when you are either edgy or more black and white takes. Medium takes may be both more correct and nicer overall, but they don’t get the most engagement. I would find that after I had a “big comment” that did well, I would make edgier comments for a while after, chasing that high.

That’s not so much a problem here since a thread doesn’t have thousands and thousands of comments or is flights against for attention. Typically I read all the comments on a Lemmy post. Doing the same on Reddit would both suck away my time and my soul, haha.

This is embarrassing but Goosebumps. I think I watched an episode that just caught me off guard while I was in a strange place (first sleepover at a friend’s house) and the super campy episode freaked me right out.

Runner up was poltergeist. My older sister thought it was very funny that it was rated PG and so I saw it when I was maybe 7 or 8. 😂

We are enjoying…by arguing about it constantly. That is the fun now, right?

While it’s definitely still possible, I’m optimistic that the US doesn’t have a history of being forcibly silenced. While we may not be great at mass‑movement or general‑strike action on a national scale, or at least we are out of practice, we’re not used to being afraid of speaking our political beliefs and I don’t see that switching overnight.

In a nation like Russia, that kind of political submission to the state was seemingly drilled into people during the Soviet Union (really, through much of recent Russian history). No one runs into the street to take cell‑phone video of Russian thug troops rounding up political foes. They know that if they speak up, they’ll be alone, isolated, and face a bad fate. But in the US, we get outside and document. We know the names of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

And consider hypothetical war support: there’s no way the political ruling class would survive if the US got into a meat‑grinder war like Russia’s in Ukraine, with millions of casualties. Vietnam almost broke the country, and there were only 58k deaths (not to belittle the number, but Russia has suffered around 1.2m in military losses in just four years).

I think Jan 6 was a wake‑up call that it’s not a joke and not crazy to think they would attempt (and could succeed with) a coup here. I 100% think Trump and co. will try again to stage a coup or fix themselves in power, but I don’t yet believe they’ll succeed.

Yeah, that info is just a decision based on the political optics of how the joint operation was conducted (who should strike first). If Netanyahu wasn’t in Washington the week before, pressuring Trump to act, would Trump have opted to hold hands and go for it with Israel? I feel like this is what Netanyahu has been trying to get the US to help them do for years and years.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the White House last week pressing the administration to do what it must to derail Iran’s nuclear program, its ballistic missile infrastructure and its support for proxy militias in the region.

Like the kid that keeps asking dad for a PS5, but dad keeps saying no or offering lesser prizes. They finally asked on the right day, when dad was already in the mood to get that PS5, and dad said “fuck it, let’s go get it.” Luckily for Netanyahu, Epstein shit is being stirred and Trump has a nose for making distractions.

My sense is that Trump is going for the “we’re at war and therefore it would be imprudent to have elections” argument. I agree that this will drag on, but I think it depends on if Trump is able to successfully pull off the first ever skipped election in US history.

I don’t think his supreme court would go that low to allow it, but…the chance that he succeeds is not 0%, which fucking sucks.
