I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven't fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC's and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it's better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.

I knew they secretly hated Ronnie Reagan lol
I as a video game enthusiast do not want my character to experience romance. It doesn't happen in real life the way it is portrayed in media, and it's fucking boring seeing it over and fucking over again. Gimme tragedy, gimme a problem I can solve, a mystery, or a war to fight. But romance, and sex, have not a damn place in those things. Developers of apparently every damn media have gotten it drilled into their heads that we want to read, watch, play thru, and otherwise experience their mental masturbation. Well I for one, don't fucking want to experience it at all. Gimme a story, and if you can't do it without pointless sex scenes then you don't have a fuckin story, you have a story about fuckin.
A true deity is a deity with or without anyone's belief in them. The only reason for what we know as a "deity" to require stupid rules like "worship me, hold no others above me" would have been to force moronic cave dwellers to try to learn to act in a social civilized manner by fearing retribution if they didn't, the only possible other reason is because they aren't actually a deity and simply another mortal sentient on a power trip because it feels good to be adored and have people terrified at your feet. There really isn't an inbetween, true immortals would find constant worship really fucking boring, so it would need to serve a purpose, the only creatures that would really enjoy being worshipped are mortals that will never live long enough to see how tedious and fucking boring it becomes "oh look, here comes jimothy again with a list of things he did bad, a pile of exotic fruit, and a jingle he made... I hope the jingles funny, I am so damn bored, and I've had all the fruit so many times it's not exotic, just common... Or maybe that's his son danjemin.. Hard to tell, the names changes but the faces..." True immortals would rejoice in the individuals true uniqueness because it would be one of the few things that is mostly fresh per person, they wouldn't care for the most part about things you did wrong because fucking everyone does bad shit, just be your best unique self, and try to do good, cuz everything else is just a fuckin repeating cycle.
If a golden age starts, it's with destruction and not an election. The Dark Ages started with the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Golden Age started with the fall of Western Roman Empire. Not Istanbul, but Constantinople. The fall of western Rome sent the highly educated people as refugees into the rest of the world where they started writing, reading, and making art. So... Are they excited for the coming destruction, or did I miss a great nation falling and highly educated refugees piling up...
Why yes I do know him, he's me.
Autism or death? And she chose autism apparently.
The average person wouldn't give a flying fart in the wind if tax cuts were funded by eliminating red tape, and removing things that actually didn't make things safer, or more secure in availability. That said, I see no changes to medicaid to indicate things have gotten better for serving citizens, to me it looks like a Congress that is only useful to pass budgets, is cutting essential services and this is a recreation of Ronnie Reagans tax cuts that left mentally ill individuals to fend for themselves and die under a bridge from pneumonia. But, you have to understand Ronnie was fighting the soviets so your uncle that worked for 40 years paying into the system before their sanity shattered certainly didn't mind losing their housing and begging just to put a warm meal in their belly. Let alone the potential fall out from cutting red tape that is there to protect people, and literally ANYONE that wants to bypass it is either making working conditions, products safety, and/or public safety worse. This should make it apparent to the average person the Republican party is NOT your friend. And they are no more patriotic than any idiot that can drape themselves in the flag while "born in the USA" plays over the PA.
And I just want everyone to do to the global elite what they have done to us. Or hate them as much as they hate us, tho idk if the average person is capable of that level of disgust at their common person.
They simply don't need an encryption backdoor. Proper investigative work will always provide more than enough evidence without violating encryption. Backdoors breaks encryption, just don't have encryption if it has a backdoor. What did governments do before they could tap phone lines, and hack cell phones? They fucking worked. That's what. They put their noses to the grind stone, and they worked. Proper feet on the pavement. What the idiot politicians once again are doing, is trying to make controlling the masses easier, by removing protections the people have against tyrannical governments, which is what ANY government is that wants an encryption backdoor, tyrannical.
We as Citizens need to start acting like this is our damn country, and we deserve to have a minimum quality of life that isn't garbage, just for being citizens, not even for working 40hrs a week at slave wages while billionaires make themselves incrementally into trillionaires. We deserve healthcare we can afford, we deserve housing we can afford, we deserve vehicles we can afford and don't break down with planned obsolescence constantly. The rich deserve equal return on their investment to the effort they put into it. I don't know exactly how that looks because I want retirement funds, and investments for the average person to actually pay, while the investments for the rich pay them enough to barely keep their quality of life. Probably caps on annual returns would do it, if the rich suddenly CAN'T take more from the stock market, then it goes to the poor's cuz it has to go someplace. Is what I'm saying anti capitalism? No more than bailouts for failed businesses that cause recessions and giving their executives golden parachute leave packages, so anyone against it but for bailouts, isn't a capitalist either. Giving capital to failed businesses is the antithesis of capitalism.
