Conservatives really like the recycling myth because it puts the onus of waste on the individual consumer instead of the corporations actually producing the waste.

0? Hardly. For a simple pop-culture counterpoint, V for Vendetta was written as an indictment of the UK's slide into fascism. It was published in 1982. Fascism doesn't happen overnight, it's a slow boil erosion of rights and democracy that works in the shadows of government over decades to dissolve checks and balances from the inside and within the law.

I have cable. It doesn't really work like that anymore. I used to be able to click through ALL the basic cable channels, catching a frame or two of every single channel, with zero delay between channels, all within like under a minute. These days every channel change or menu selection has a built-in delay of at least a second or two. Channel surfing just doesn't vibe the same anymore. That form of TV is mostly if not entirely dead.

Plexamp has gotten better lately. It can save your progress on audiobooks now. It's a per library feature, so I have one library of music (that does not save progress) and one for audiobooks (that does save progress). I used to have trouble with some audiobook formats (M4Bs needed to be converted (really just renamed) to mp4s, but that wasn't necessary for the last few I loaded. Plex still has a little trouble with standards around multiple authors and different productions (and different readers) of a single book, but that's more of an ID3 tag problem and is resolved if you're consistent in normalizing the tags on your library. I've also used the syncing features a bunch for offline time (like on a plane or on long trips). For a large library, I see syncing offline files as a necessary feature.

And before the Jellyfin fanboys chime in, if Jellyfin could match these audio and syncing features (and be easier to setup for access outside my LAN and sharing with family), I jump ship in a heartbeat.

Tell us more about how sharing values through narrative and myth is sad.

Somehow this reminds of a meme thread that just popped up wherein there are a lot of people proudly declaring their inability to study and claiming that the mere suggestion that one should read the manual as a first step to solving a problem is actually very offensive.

Properly designed speed tables should be able to be safety traversed at speed. Speed bumps force you to slow down to under the speed limit, sometimes far under, in order to traverse safely. That said, I've seen many many many more examples of things like: speed bumps with signs for speed tables, poorly designed humps that are neither speed bumps nor speed table, poorly designed speed bumps that are dangerous at practically any speed, or speed bumps without proper warning signs or paint to warn drivers, speed bumps in parking lots that just encourage people to drive wrecklessly around them. The absolute worst are those bolt-on DIY atrocities. Really, I've only ever seen properly designed speed tables in the richest of neighborhoods. All the other HOAs and towns seem to think they can get away with just hiring an asphalt guy or sending out a road maintenance crew to throw a speed bump and some paint down without any kind of survey, design, or traffic study.

Yeah, dude's just making shit up or regurgitating an ai hallucination. Orange tiger stripes aren't blending in with orange dirt either. The herbivores that are a tiger's prey are reg/green colorblind, which means the orange tiger blends in with the green grasses because the animals can't distinguish between those colors well.

The rest of the comment isn't much better. From claiming that a ghillie suit isn't camouflage (it is). To claiming that a solid color is better camouflage than a camouflage with a decent disruptive pattern. There is good camo and bad camo out there, but Nuxcom_90penis doesn't seem like the type to see subtly in anything. That's why I'm up voting you and agreeing with your sentiment here instead of kicking that toxic hornet's nest.

Obviously Miles Davis is the only answer, but only while watching Elevator to the Gallows because he composed and performed the soundtrack. Otherwise I just listen to the thing I'm watching.

Yeah that was my first thought after getting over the weirdness of it, "How manageable is this hair going to be after getting home and later as it grows out?"
