Lots of people in this site are sympathetic to any tyrant as long as they aren’t ruling over a western country.

The people of Iran would be wise to take this opportunity to actually plot their destiny.

The Iranian protests against their Supreme Leader dwarfed the Gazan protests against Hamas.

The dynamics are way different.

Irans government will implode, nobody will need to be deployed there.

Why would I celebrate stock buybacks?

Also spacex lost like 20 or so Falcons before their first successful mission. Maybe they will explode as many Starships, but they have hit that number yet.

It’s ok to hate Elon, and there are many valid criticisms to make regarding spacex, but they’re the best in the world right now and it isn’t even close.

The biggest issue with Spacex is that Elon needs to be removed before he ruins it like he ruined Tesla.

How has spacex had very few successes? Their Falcon 9 rocket is basically operating like clockwork. They launch more rockets than the rest of the world combined.

The starship failures are higher profile but even those failures are typical when testing new vehicles, especially one as experimental and complex.

SpaceX and Starlink basically have no competition, and if they did, said competitor would also need to be heavily subsidized.

You felt bad for JJ because he brought back palpatine?

He’s a fucking hack and doing that was a choice. Single-handedly ruined any potential the sequels had.

How shocking that the guy who can’t write endings couldn’t write an ending.

I mean here is a comparison between a minivan and a 3 row EV SUV:

Not every SUV is a Suburban or Escalade.

Also, a wagon is not a replacement for a Minivan, the station wagon jump seats that I grew up with were firmly in the crumple zone, and would prevent any cargo from being loaded.

The person who wrote this comic never shopped for a family hauler, or has shopped for a family hauler and ignored their lived experience to make a quip.

That last panel is why the entire “fuck cars” movement is a joke. You can’t have real solutions if you don’t have real empathy.

You underestimate the damage that can be done in the ensuing vacuum.

From food security to physical security, impact will be severe.

Never mind that the next superpowers in line to take the mantle are totalitarian ethnostates.

I understand why some people kill their families and then kill themselves.

I’ll still put forth that it’s bad, destructive, and wrong.

The American genocides were a multitude of different actions by different colonial powers across centuries.

Hitler did it in a decade with the power of modern industry.

The oil lobby and nuke lobby hate each other for the very reasons you’re hand waving away.

I can’t fucking read this article.

Correct, they could do without, which is why I rely on Plex’s transcoded downloads to cram a cross-country flight’s worth of stuff onto their iPads.

Good suggestion though.

I’m not so much nitpicking Jellyfin as I am highlighting how crucial transcoded downloads are for my use case, and attempting to get you to have empathy for that use case.

Like, based on the headline I was ready to try out Jellyfin because fuck Plex, but alas, I can’t bail just yet.

Maybe being silent on the matter is best, people asking for features is a dumb way to improve software.

I mean the person you’re talking to is having trouble grasping the concept of friends.

Alternately I could keep using plex.
