yeah!! heh Jellyfin is actually the original reason I got into this stuff, so mine is still on baremetal since it predates my learning docker

now I really enjoy designing the lil dolls from off the shelf parts and then winding them up and setting them loose

I am blessed to inform you that we now have the technology to change sex, and it's not going to go away just because some people don't like it x

now I will grant you, we did not have nearly as many home viewing options as we do now in the streaming era

but the idea that rural / small town folk aren't willing to drive a while to do fun stuff with friends is nuts lol. they absolutely will, quite possibly while drunk and/or high

nice! a two year time lag is intense. was that normal in small town US back then? I feel like even on The Island we tended to get movies within a year

getting new VIDEOS, now THAT was a fucker. when someone finally opened a rental shop that stocked movies newer than 3 years old it was revolutionary

we did used to have one (1) movie theatre on the island, which doubled as a village hall, but then the projectionist died of old age and I guess they couldn't get any other projectionists to move out there

always so baffling when people fall into the is-ought trap for an “ought” that is /worse/ than reality

like dude, you live in a universe that has entropy! we gotta take our wins where we can

You are now hearing Leonard Cohen’s voice in your head…

That helpless penniless prophet’s voice, spanning the octaves of love.

Through gritted teeth you cannot help but praise the God you never chose…

For that little while when he was yours, and you were his.
