to add to other answers about jellyfin, there’s a roku app for it which is Quite Good in my experience https://channelstore.roku.com/details/cc5e559d08d9ec87c5f30dcebdeebc12/jellyfin

switching to a browser engine developed by a literal advertising company seems like a weird protest against advertising

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve 😔

mournfully flipping the counter back to “0” on the “it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic” sign

13 downvoters are turned-on and mad about it

with the armband as well it seems like kind of a dogwhistle

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.

“best” in terms of what, most war crimes? most planetary destruction? highest amount of corruption?

“the problem is the institution, not the people actively participating in the institution in exchange for money and power” what

this cold war propaganda belongs in a museum

blaming pedestrians in crosswalks for getting hit by cars seems pretty bloodthirsty (and fuckcars is a weird community to say it)

“couldn’t hurt” is a weird turn of phrase for the suggestion of “lubricate the soles of your shoes” 🙃

1. yes that’s exactly the evidence from the 1918 flu pandemic showed: places which locked down harder and longer had quicker economic recovery. This is probably even more the case with COVID which is leaving people longterm, if not lifetime, disabled.

2. the documented reason for recent inflation in the US is corporate greed, the only thing COVID did was give corporate execs an excuse

“unmasked” because of the assumption that anyone who posts “raunchy” pictures, especially for money, would spontaneously combust in shame if their name were ever made public.

boring bigoted shit

the correct answer was “any part of the background pattern” because it’s not got a photo of a purchaseable product yet but it will do as soon as more sponsorship deals come in
