How's protecting those kids by putting them in danger going?

Oh - a kid you wanted to kill us dead - all part of the plan.

These lawmakers are knowingly lying for personal gain, and to kill those they don't like - including kids. They're fucking demons, and their supporters are either as bad, or mentally deficient.

It's all about you, isn't it? Not as though I've been a presence in this thread or anything.

Best way to avoid me would be to stop posting such aggressively stupid bullshit.

We'll throw complaining about the calibre of people in the spaces you decide to frequent voluntarily on the pile with the rest of your dumb bullshit.

I wouldn't be so quick to dish out judgment if my thing were slavery and slurs, but I'm not an obvious piece of shit, so you do you, I guess.

Defending slavery isn't getting any less monstrous or dumb.

I was - I watched the Jodorowsi doco a while back and mixed it in with the Lynch version - thanks!

I'm in a similar boat, but I haven't really switched because my watch history is all in Plex. Have you solved for this, or just lived with it?

I've tried jellyplex sync (I think), but config got to be a bit much.

A populace with the ability to kill anyone with the press of a button isn't free or safe - it's fearful, which is a dangerous thing to be when you have a gun.

Gestures lazily at gun deaths per capita compared to the rest of the developed world.

There's also the 13th - Slavery is fine so long as we criminalise you. Why the fuck would you want this, exactly?

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

The deification of the founding fathers - a bunch of slave owners and the like is deeply weird. They had some good ideas... and some atrocious ones.

It's also that Disney own almost all the known IP, and will roll it out time and again as a safe bet with predictable returns - art by focus group simply isn't a thing.

Capitalism, baybee!

Jodorowsi's Lynch's Dune was great in its own fever dream kinda way - don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon we have the new movie, and prefer part 1, but the older movies are a thing.

The whole tablet UI switching had huge potential - particularly for 2-in-ones and to a lesser extent, mobile devices, but Microsoft absolutely butchered it in its infancy with atrocious execution, and by having the hubris to hobble their primary use-case (desktop) for the sake of pushing their half-baked nonsense into the mobile market. Users didn't do themselves any favours by not understanding that you could just hit start then type the first couple of letters of what you want to launch (what kind of website double-clicking weirdo clicks through the whole start menu without pinned links or search anyway?).

To me, it all reeks of designers/PMs/devs putting forward a super-promising concept, which was ruined by a bunch of overpaid MBA dipshits that thought they knew better.

Don't go thinking they care about consistency...

Is this a case of "if you call us genocidal, we'll kill you too"?

On the one hand, the GOP will be lost after Trump... On the other, the concept of elections so be lost if the GOP get their way.

I'M NOT A MCOCODITY!

Don't embarrass yourself further by telling me what other people think as you're getting downvoted this hard.

In the context of this conversation, "people" can speak for themselves.

Again - are you a coward that attributes their support for lynch mobs to "people" rather than owning them, or are you dishonest, presenting other people's arguments you don't believe?

Failure to answer that aside, it seems you're arguing all violence is wrong because we're taught not to hit in preschool, but retaliatory violence is good because the courts don't take circumstances into account and sentence accordingly. I don't need to refute your points - you've done that yourself - albeit poorly.

Apparently you can incarcerate someone in the US for $14K p.a. - though this is at the very low end. Apparently, it's $18K in Mississippi or $136K in Wyoming.

Sources vary, of course - but this is the general consensus on the ballpark figure. I don't think it's wise to use Germany as a proxy for prison costs in the US - the US has too big a prison population and too sadistic an attitude toward them for this to be a reliable reference. That said, average costs appear comparable, and I've provided the approximate range.

Would you like me to point out why your nonsense is nonsense, or would you rather take the opportunity walk back the things (I assume) you said because you were using me as a proxy for your dislike of the way reality works?

Helpful hint: Responding to this requires one line not 20 paragraphs.
