I don't see which part of my comment implies that I don't feel that way about humanity, nor how it's relevant. Humanity was able to coexist just fine for thousands of years. These issues were caused by capital.

I've met way more people who made hating vegans their whole personality than I have vegans who mention their lifestyle outside of the context of being offered something non-vegan.

And how many have we seen make bacon their whole personality? Or Ron Swanson wannabees who think eating a steak is gender affirming care. No, this is a ridiculous argument. Every group of people is going to have self-righteous idiots.

Overbreeding. They're doing what they do, what they're supposed to do. It's not their fault all their predators and 9/10ths of their ecosystem have been removed.

Yeah, but... Why do we base a creature's right to exist on their intelligence as perceived by us? We have no idea what headlights look like to them or how stressful it is being a keystone prey species. I certainly wouldn't want to walk a mile in their shoes. Personally they're a massive nuisance and garden pest, but I understand we brought our* houses to them and not the other way around, so I don't hold it against them.

They're not going to be splitting the atom any time soon.

Oh, well actually that I do hold against them. Nevermind.

Oh, I generally couldn't agree more. In this specific case it was actually their authentication service that was down, but it meant if you use multiple accounts with Plex or have a pin on your singular account that you were essentially locked out. But I agree it's a bad look to have remote dependencies at all.

I run both concurrently, but Plex has had a rash of outages recently that led to it and any services relying on it completely useless. It's insane that an online service outage would cause me to be unable to stream media locally, so yeah Jellyfin has been all but essential, recently.

Once upon a time. Now it's that but also kinda like flawless, perfect, magnificent. What 'awesome ' s supposed to mean.

If Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is real then it's extremely rare. Just look at People like Willie Nelson or Snoop. Fact is this syndrome was only first described after Colorado legalized cannabis recreationally. So even though many many people smoked just as much before legalization it somehow only became an issue afterward? Anecdotally I know a lot of people who smoke a lot of weed. Personally neither my wife and I have been sober for more than maybe a month in the last decade and a half, and I still smoke a lot more than just half a j at the end of the day. Sometimes if I don't smoke and I don't eat I get kinda nauseous. The same thing will happen if I do smoke and I don't eat. I have/get every illness, if this was a thing I would have it lol

No, you are not and have not said that and neither have any of the other voter apathy memesters that pop up around election time and demonstrably increase voter apathy. But keep up the ad hominem, it's super endearing.

Name one thing the group that wasn't voted into power has done since their power was taken away? Well aside from blocking terrible bills and suing the Trump administration over executive actions and voter intimidation, DNC appointed judges have really been the only force of opposition the GOP has faced. You're right, though. It's not enough. Instead of voting more progressive candidates into the DNC we should just remove them from power entirely, and hand over all that remains of the government to the GOP since the DNC is so ineffectual. That will show them! Hear that everyone? Don't vote! If your vote mattered even a little bit then Republicans would be doing everything they can to make it more difficult for you while also astroturfing social media with bots and voter apathy memes, and since you want to act like they haven't been actively suppressing democracy and they were only caught doing that last bit in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 and soon there won't be any proof of that then we can all rest easy knowing there's nothing we can do or could have done.

The entire mission is to seek out new life and new civilizations and establish relations with them! Countless times you've put your entire crew second to that mission, and yet here you are face to face with a 3 million year old intelligent being made of magnetic energy that has absorbed all the knowledge of other long dead civilizations, pleading with you for just some company, and you give it the cold shoulder. Heartbreaking.

 

The new album has gotten a lot of hate from the community, and I admit I was apprehensive at first, and I wasn't too into the singles. As a cohesive piece, though, I find it endlessly relistenable. I just put it on loop and it's the perfect background to my day.

Anyone else really digging it?
