It’s not inflation - it’s price gouging by corporations. Wages aren’t going up nearly as quickly as corporate profits.

That sounds like a fun project.

Don’t forget to label them as “Bible cartoons and movies.”

SA is anti-LGBTQ. They will deny them services.

Yep. Time to fall in love all over again.

It lasted longer than I thought. Probably because it was a weekend and Elon was probably too busy sniffing his own farts.

I understand this. I was underemployed for a while, so I was doing tutoring American English online. Since I was working graves, my schedule meant I ended up with clients from SE Asia, China, Japan.

After a few months, I found better work and didn’t need to tutor as much. I cut my availability and was down to 2, then one.

The one I still tutor is a Filipina in nursing school. Most people, when they find that out, go straight to the “I’m a creep/She wants a green card” duality.

I get tired of explaining that she actually qualifies for permanent residency as soon as she gets her work visa. She doesn’t need me at all to come to the US to work.

There are plenty of legitimate organizations and agencies that help Filipino nurses get jobs and visas at minimal cost above the required fees.

She has mentioned that she’d prefer to live with me and would be open to a relationship with me, even though I am older…much older.

I leave that last bit out when talking to folks because it makes me sound like a creep. I totally get why people would think that.

On the other hand, an attractive, intelligent, hardworking, and fun younger woman is interested in me? It’s a challenge to say no to that.

Chick’s got rizz fr fr no cap fam etc etc

What did Honda ever do to you?

You can still be a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, bootlicking piece of shit as long as you use the correct names and pronouns.

Well considering they basically did just that with Instagram and WhatsApp, it wouldn’t be surprising if they did.

We are probably better off not knowing.

Because someone would be willing to do it for a bunch of people for $10/month each.

I appreciate this post. It’s brought out some interesting comments and I’ve been able to block some idiots who apparently think they’re gatekeepers.

I went through the same thing as you but when we moved to Emby, things have been better. Plex was always crashing when I’d search.

If you can get back with them, give Emby another shot.

I think self-hosted might be better but I don’t have the ambition right now. I’m reading up on it but I need to finish a couple of other projects first.

That would mean having to be on Xitter. The idea of it makes me feel icky.

Maybe they mean uncanny valley? Or maybe referring to implants that are popular in places like Utah valley (home to a high population of extraordinarily superficial Mor[m]ons and high rates of antidepressant use), which is sarcastically called “Happy Valley.”

That is definitely one of my big complaints. Maybe I missed it, but I don’t like the speed. It’s either full speed or pause. I always feel rushed.

Probably the same folks who think that Xitter is better under Muskrats leadership.

I. Love. This. Comment. NB: I am a human that is bipedal and omnivorous like many other humans on {undefined}.

I think when she arrived on scene, she was probably more curious and confused than ready to kill.
