One can be an idiot and still think they know they’re doing.

However, you’re likely right. They’re less idiotic and more malicious and nefarious. We’re back in the mode of “let’s use every possible method to try to control people.” What these assholes don’t realize is that eventually the people will rise up again and simply murder them. The rich have this coming as well. It’s only a matter of time and how much the masses are willing to put up with before the dam blows.

Is there any actual purpose, for the consumer, that this serves? These governments are full of literal idiots.

You and me both.

Well this is likely another step toward eliminating it altogether. Clearly they won’t sell many, if any, at that price point, which is egregiously expensive, and will use that as justification to end it altogether, including for those of us who have long been such a paid member (I got a lifetime Plex Pass when it was $50 back in like 2009 or 2010, whenever they first began the program). And they’ll act like they have no choice.

I suppose I need to set up Jellyfin and start looking at how best to convert family I have connected.

Or, more likely, I was making a joke…

You’re immortal

How do you survive…?

I think you answered your own question.

Why the fuck does everything that’s good turn to shit? This world sucks. This timeline sucks.

I think I bought it when it was first offered and it was $50 (maybe 2010ish?). While they are getting closer and closer to enshittification, trying to switch those over who access my Plex server would be a headache. I’ll only do it if I have to, at this point. And it’ll likely take them revoking the lifetime pass for me to do so.

Yes it is. Language and meaning don’t simply change in 10-20 years unless forced upon (such as a conqueror forcing culture). Neologisms are a thing, and that’s fine (though I would argue “bling” is a garbage word :) ), but using “literally” to mean “not literally” is redefining the whole purpose of the word in such a short context of time simply because of ignorance. Therefore, I assert what I argued already – it’s not widely accepted – just widely misused.

“widely accepted”

Yeah, no. People who use it incorrectly simply don’t understand language or meaning. Just because there’s a lot of people who misuse the word doesn’t mean it’s widely accepted. A lot of people believe in a god, doesn’t make it true.

A-hahahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! breathes deeply AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I didn’t realize they offered a NWD option.

Just because it likely won’t happen doesn’t mean it can’t happen. And you seem to have purposefully left out the rest of my sentence: “to enshrine the VRA, etc – of course the states have to ratify which could be a tall order.”

This is the kind of cherry-picking that runs rampant in discourse today and adds literally nothing to the conversation.

Given that many “right-wing” sites are full of lies, bigotry, and hate, I think I’m quite fine with this.

Bullshit. The whole point of checks and balances within this system of government (though it’s not working presently) is that Congress can work to override the judiciary when they get it wrong. The Constitution can be amended to enshrine the VRA, etc – of course the states have to ratify which could be a tall order. And since the judiciary gave the president carte blanche to do whatever he/she wants, they could simply sign an executive order at this point to deal with this and say “Fuck you” to the Supreme Court.

It’s all relative.

Every time I see his face, I just want to punch it. He has one of those faces that shows complete and utter incompetency in everything and deserves to have his face smashed in.

Fuck the Fascists. I can’t wait until they all burn.

On par with every other republican.
