It’s both for me. Some things are either not on BluRay, too rare and expensive, or the transfer on BluRay is actually worse. And besides, any BluRay player is a dvd player too.

Anyway, any physical collecting or pirating needs to encouraged because streaming is such a stupid model now.

Once again, boomers created participation awards.

And that doesn’t address the content it offers.

Reddit stopped being fun last November.

I am not engaging with it as much as I used to, and now I am actively annoyed with it and trying to make Lemmy my default again.

And clearly will be used for CP.

Been a rough week for the White House when it comes to sports. Little victories should be celebrated.

Yeah, VLC played it, but Plex didn’t recognize it. Just saying, could be something as simple as that since OP isn’t using VLC.

I was recently ripping some DVDs and a few in the process were being recognized as such. Turns out, they were simply missing “.MP4” for the file name.

Better vote in a bigger fascist to correct this.

I replied to @SpaceFox@lemmy.ml, and you can find my reply here.

Here’s the things that actually helped me:

• Teachers/authority figures making me feel heard and valued. (From ECS to Highschool graduation, I had maybe 4 teachers who really went out of their way to help)
• Fellow students who stood up/spoke up for me (I had a group of boys corner me in the washroom and start berating me and until I broke down and started crying. A boy, who I didn’t even know his name, but was accqainted with came in and stood up to the group. I will never forget what he did.)
• Friends
• people going out of their way to make me feel welcome (when it happened I didn’t know why they were being so nice to me.)

Things I think would have helped:

• Knowing that it’s okay to need help
• someone telling me the things happening are not acceptable or normal

No idea what I was a part of, but it is special Ed adjacent.

I was forced into a program in Jr. High because I had behavior issues (of course nothing was done to the bullies and attackers, just the person retaliating). It was like a 3 week program where they analyzed you (poorly because I knew all their testing methods and was not cooperating), stuffed you in a corner, and told you do homework for the day and then an hour for phys-ed. I stopped doing the homework after a while and just started playing my GBA.

It was humiliating, but I will say, the kids removed from the their situations were actually really great people despite being labeled as trouble makers or problems.

Anyways, I changed schools, and then changed schools, then got expelled and changed schools again, and eventually I graduated highschool. I then attended university and completed two programs.

Now, over 20 years later, I am actively unpacking and working on these issues from school because I fell through the cracks and was actively punished for being a victim.
