  • Not an american but personally i would most definitely prefer an absolute fuckwad with little self control in charge than an evil mastermind entity hellbent on squeezing me for every cent.

    The former is too stupid not to ruin his lever of power, which would cause the system to decentralize and/or contribute to said fuckwad’s downfall. The latter employs a huge amount of people specifically trained to maintain and increase the amount of profits extracted while maintaining their stranglehold.






  • Shower in the morning, sink in the evening

    Pros:

    • if you are in a rush you can save time by scrubbing yourself and brushing simultaneously
    • any spills are washed away immediately, leaves the sink clean of toothpaste splatter
    • you get to stand under the nice warm water for a few extra minutes instead of standing in front of the sink, staring at your tired self in the mirror while doing your brushing regimen

    Cons:

    • apparently women don’t really care for the concept so be aware of that lol





  • I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.

    India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.





  • I agree that a lot of shows and movies, especially the more recent ones, have little rewatchability. You could always replace those with an armful of whatever is current and on your watchlist after you are done though.

    And personally i have a couple of evergreens and classics i enjoy watching again now and then, and it is nice to know i always have something to watch even if i cant afford the subscription any more / the stuff i like gets region locked / fucking licensing pulls the rug. It also feels a little empowering to have my own stuff that really is just mine and nobody can revoke my viewing permissions, in the face of endless enshittification.

    As for the media server, i am not tech savvy enough myself to run one so i just bought a large ass external drive. When i am away from home i just bring that thing and can watch my stuff on any computer and generally also tv i plug it into.
