2-4 or 5 I’d say is the hardest. Just annoying little shits that occupy all your time, and the real cute baby stage is well done and over. 4-7 ish they start developing real interests and you can do actual stuff with them. 8-13 or so they’re just annoying kids again. 13-20 they just annoying teenagers lol

Try to just enjoy the little moments that are awesome. You are never getting those back.

But seriously 2-3 sucks… There’s a reason they say it’s the “terrible 2s”. You really are doing awesome! Nobody ever prepared me for how fucking awful being a parent is … And it never ends. I’m constantly tired. Like I said though, it’s just different through the different stages.

It gets way better. And worse. Just different. You’re doing awesome!

While I’ve moved to arr stack and usenet these days, I’ve literally never had an issue with TPB

My 7 year old is always telling her friends that she watches such-and-such show on Jellyfin. 😅

That’s not how addiction works.

I didn’t realize it was literally a switch, I thought it had something to do with the architecture of the OS and anticheat programs weren’t compatible.

How will the anticheat work? Most games work decently well on proton, but the anticheat is what really breaks these games on linux.

Proton usually works better than native linux lol

I previously has a subscription last year (just one provider) and had sooo many incompletes. It was barely usable.

I recently set it all up properly and I haven’t had a single issue, even finding old movies with no issue. I have a provider, an indexer, and a cheap block account on a different backbone to fill the gaps. It works like absolute butter.

Sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, SAB and all that … do it right and it’s amazing.

After struggling previously to get it set up, I have everything set up with Radarr, Sonarr, and SAB and I have yet to not find something. It’s sooooo good. BUT, you need to set it up specifically.

Golden age for sure. It was the wild West but so fucking fun. Every web page was creative and unique. Every community felt special. Now we’re all just funneled into these prefab “experiences” on these billionaire owned corpo platforms. It’s so dystopian.

I had my first account in 2006 I believe. By even 2010 Reddit was becoming kind of shit.

Honestly, I don’t want to blame reddit entirely. The entirety of the internet has gotten progressively worse and worse and worse over the past 20 years. At this point I’m ready to nuke the whole experiment.

I’ll be honest, modern internet/platforms are toxic and alienating as fuck. I don’t connect with anybody anymore. Are we even conversing with humans?

Internet back in the 2000s was so fucking fun and I made connections all the time on forums and stuff. Nowadays? Ehh… never.

we’re going to play right into it.

The alternative is to … what? Just let ICE murder and kidnap our neighbors?

Such Democracy!

Seeing as he is one of the most famous whistleblowers out there, no.

I don’t pay for plex so I don’t really care, at this point in time.

Should have just been the Roku City haha

Look, you’re doing it!

Addressing your points from a perspective of an ML?

That’s the whatabout campism it is refering to!

Interesting. You never mentioned “whataboutism” in your “tankie” description, and you were allowed to insert whatever convenient definition you saw fit. I can see the goalposts are moving now that I’ve addressed your original points directly. Convenient that we’re never allowed to explain our position, lest the term “tankie” be thrown at us and summarily hand wave away anything we say.

Just introducing what a tankie means to regular people

Again, since I’m usually the one the term is being used against, I think I know what most “regular” people think the term means: which is usually just broadly anti-ML and anti-any-established-socialist-state because they’re [ignorantly and incorrectly] viewed as “Authoritarian”.

I think we’ve exhausted this debate here.
