For decades i've had mine in perfect shape. I don't understand what's so hard in terms of protecting the original.

If your house is on fire then sure, you need a replacement. If your house catches fire, gets drowned by a biblical flood, has an earthquake swallow it, a volcano erupts underneath it, and has a meteorite strike it - all at different times, all destroying your SS card, you can still get replacements.

10 is enough. If someone is going to lose it more than that they should probably not keep one. It's not like you need it for anything, you just need the number. A passport or state real ID covers identification.

I'm not above name calling so long as it is at the expense of the guy who decided to collude with russia to disable starlink access to ukraine in an active war.

Felon Musk will absolutely hate the term, so it's perfect.

Any republican party member who stands up for this will be threatened with having their seat put up to a primary challenge. This is just a fact.

Remember, whatever the administration says can only be interpreted by fact by anyone who is part of the party. If you aren't in line you aren't in the party.

The undesirables will be shipped off to a camp far from the public's eye and shaven, beaten and humiliated.

Sir, you spelled Felon Musk wrong.

Reddit didn't grow in it's early days like it does today. To use an analogy for what you're saying: think of a snowball rolling down a mountain and turning into an avalanche. It's easy to forget that the snowball started it.

We don't really have a choice, unfortunately.

This platform has the downside of day 1 bots, unlike reddit of yore.

Don't worry, the enshittification of both is proceeding well.

Replacements are inevitable in time. This one is growing.

So you made a claim, that's cool. Zero examples though dude? really?

It's a pretty risky game he's playing, being the public face of his business while also being an unelected president.

I think most people probably have a lifetime plex pass for their plex server, or they are using alternative servers.

Lifetime pass grants licenses to all clients, at least it used to unless this changes that.

My server has many users and nobody has paid anything aside from my original buy of $120 in 2019. So far that comes out to about $1.67/mo for unlimited users and unlimited updates.

I'm not saying I really like the updates though. I think they should have remained slim, but someone is trying to make more and more money by branching out into bullshit beyond private media serving. All that trash should be separate products that are divorced from the private media server / client product.

All this being said, check out Jellyfin, little reason to use plex over it for private media but it has some limitations if you need subtitles or cannot relocate file structures.

Hey, all I can say is that there's a lot of really uneducated people in the US, and they voted for a president that is skilled at whipping them into a frenzy over anything.

It's not you guys, it's them. I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I'm afraid to speak out though, my wife doesn't have her citizenship yet and they've been unlawfully deporting green card holders left and right.

I kinda wish the world would stand up together and say "fuck you, guy" and literally cut the US out of the world economy until they depose the dictator. Sadly nation states seem more interested in making backroom deals than bringing the global recession that is inevitable/ongoing.

It's got electrolytes.

I think that's a fairly reasonable solution. The problem is asking people though. Can't really blast on the loud speaker that someone died, hard to go seat by seat.

Jellyfin is absolute dogshit though.

Sauce: I just installed it on my media server that concurrently runs plex. I run the app on a fire tv cube to use it... and it crashes* constantly.

Edit: More stuff :)

-My media library when imported immediately showed seasons of shows as separate shows, it doesn't intelligently automatically merge it like Plex would.

-Subtitle options are not consistent or robust. I MUST have subtitles due to having a multilingual family which is largely ESL, if they speak English at all. This is the problem I tried moving to jellyfin to fix.

I don't think this is the way. Take their money and do the bare minimum. Malicious compliance that causes issues is a good way to get the public outraged enough that something changes.

not that long ago, a single working man could provide for a house, 2 cars, a wife and 2.5 kids.

While women worked for pennies on the dollar, people of color weren't allowed to go to school with white people and women didn't go to college, they went to secretarial school. Plus tons of people were dying from all manner of health conditions because there were no regulations for practically anything.

The "golden days" have some serious nostalgia but they were far more fucked up than people remember. Buying a home from 0 has always been like living in poverty for almost everybody in the US. Only the top earners have ever had vast excess of earnings.

When houses were 35k people were making $3500/year or much, much less.

You know how we "make an example" out of people who do things we don't like?

We need to make an example out of billionaires that put up hundreds of millions of dollars to manipulate elections. Billionaires and big business should have no place in politics.

The money is already diverted. That's what the tax cuts were in 2017.

This is just a way to upset various government agencies that might otherwise not be ok with law being upended to accomplish the goal of eliminating services our elected government has mandated.

The entire legislative branch is broken now.

Too much money involved for that.

Pharma has an open left leaning culture but once you get to executive leadership and the board the only thing that matters is sales. The bribers (aka lobbyists) will work with anyone.

You can bet your ass there is more chance of the FDA getting disbanded than drugs having prices regulated or simply being banned from sale. I'm expecting the biden price negotiations for medicare and medicaid to go away so the pharmas can milk us even more with their exclusive monopolies for the first decade or so of sales.

Didn't he just make stupid billions from his ponzi coin scheme?
