I think they’ll all come back after public sentiment seems to lean towards, “I’ll take what I can get and keep my head down, if it means I can afford groceries.” Then, they’ll be able to hire back senior specialists at a massive discount.

I absolutely love jellyfin and frequently take advantage of its features. But the client absolutely suck butt. When I can hardly get my mom to remember which app on her TV lets her watch what, I can’t also have her fucking around with play buttons that don’t do what they say, a “continue watching” list that’s often haunted by episodes that have been marked as watched, or inscrutable menu icons mashed into the top-right corner of a media browser.

And don’t get me started on getting people logged in on the client.

“Bah humbug,” was that era’s equivalent of Scrooge wandering around saying, “whatever, bullshit.”

If it’s got nothing to hide, it won’t mind if I perform a cavity search

Honestly, not that far off from when I injured my bladder and had to do a flow study. Stood on two wooden boxes, straddling a small pool/large bucket, with some catheter monstrosity up my urethra, and a probe up my ass. The three specialists and one technician apparently had to visually detect my muscle movement, so I was full-on naked. Then, they pumped water into my bladder and told me to tell them when I felt full. Then they made me push the water back out, and then they did it again a couple of times. At one point, they told me to try to not poop while they performed the study because it could mess things up. I lost what little remained of my inhibition that day.

Yeah-huh

Oopsie poopsie

Isn’t that an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?

I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a radio interference post, or John Carpenter

I don’t know why, but I can’t stop laughing at this comment

Edit: 24 hours later, just checked again. It’s still making me laugh

I accredit proper medication, scaring the shit out of my friends and family who I thought would have been happy if I were gone, and LARGELY that change in mindset that you’re talking about.

Thank you for sharing that story

From a school assignment asking what I would be like at 25 years old. I decided that I never wanted to be 25.

I’m not sure if I’d be proud or disappointed.

I don’t know if I’d be excited that I found things that made life worth living, or consider myself a failure for getting it wrong when I tried. Reflecting on that age, I don’t think myself an idiot or anything, I just see a kid who tried their best with what they had, and had already given up on what seemed like an inescapable situation. I feel bad for 14 year-old me, and I’m not sure I’d be able to face that kid without feeling completely destroyed.

Even if you can’t afford to play vr, you could still shat yourself

The mites replace their tongue

Aw, shit.

“Buck up, Fuck-o! Some kids can’t afford chemo”

Fuck.

Yugas, world ages. Kali is god/deity that represents chaos, or is often considered the personification of sin. He’s also associated with suffering.

Kali Yuga: age of chaos, age of suffering, age of conflict.

It’s sometimes brought up in incredibly fascinating contexts, and is sometimes used by religious leaders as a way to motivate people to do the bare minimum. Like, if the world is currently full of chaos, suffering, and conflict, then consider how much more meaningful it would be for you to share the fruit that grows on your tree instead of praying for the gods to harm your neighbors. It’s a great way to heap on praise for people who are only driven by their own ego.

More often, though, it’s used as a thought-terminating argument by your family members when they realize that they can’t defend their choices and are unwilling to admit that they’ve ever been wrong about anything.
