        here for decades. ever since after clintons presidency, and al gores win being snatched from him by the corrupted scotus. by the way it was gingrich that spearheaded the “never work with dems on the other side” and i think he was one of the people railing on clintion too. Mitch was basically his succesor.

    Damn, but honestly I can’t boycott Disney any more than I already have.

    If anyone needs help setting up a home server with sonarr, transmission with a VPN via docker and Linux, I can point you to some good resources.

      Someone needs to DM to remind me (if you’re interested), but I built a pretty clever stack with all the arrs, a failsafe vpn network tunnel, dynamic dns, deluge, Jellyfin, jellyseer, reverse proxy. The works.

      It’s dead simple to use (my mother runs it no problem). There is a semi-manual setup process, but a few mildly tech literate friends got it running in a couple hours.

      Built for Windows, all deployed on docker. Works fine on Linux/Mac also.

      The reason I’m not sharing it in this comment is I never intended to share it publicly and want to ensure my repo is sanitized of any PII.

      If you’d like, hit me up sometime.

      The setup for sonarr would be great. I use torrents, and can never seem to get past the indexing step.

          German kids like inventing nonsensical words like that.

          My favorite one I remember from my childhood is “Bettdeckenbezugsschonersonnenblumenmusterwebfehler”. Which roughly translates to: A weaving flaw in the sunflower pattern on a bed sheet cover.

        We do, because it’s very easy to construct new and rather specific nouns in the German language.

        The famous “Schadenfreude” is nothing else but a combination of “Schaden” (damage) and “Freude” (joy).

        Wanna mildly insult someone…

        • by saying he’s not man enough to take a cold shower? Call him a “Warmduscher” (warm + person taking a shower).
        • by saying he used to be the stupid kid at school who always forgot his gym bag? “Turnbeutelvergesser” (gym bag + person who forgets)
        • by saying he’s too scared to swim in the center of a swimming pool? “Beckenrandschwimmer” (pool’s edge + swimmer)

        There are countless synonyms like that, it even used to be some kind of trend inventing new ones.

        In short, I think we Germans are expert “Wortneuschöpfer” (creators of new words).

          There’s an English idiom that states; “If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid”.

          Something similar to that can be said about the German language’s ability to form compound words.

          Now, could you please humour me and let me know if there is one word that could describe a person who is too afraid to swim in the centre of a pool, can only take hot showers, always forgets their gym bag, and takes joy in the misery of others? 😆

            Ah, I’m afraid that’s where even the German language reaches its limits.

            As soon as you try to convey several separate notions in one word and you’re forced to use “and” in it, it breaks the word. A fine example is the word previously mentioned in this thread:

            “Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz”

            It’s a law (Gesetz) on the assignment (Übertragung) of tasks (Aufgaben) concerning the supervision (Überwachung) of cattle identification (Rinderkennzeichnung) AND the labelling (Etikettierung) of beef (Rindfleisch). Hence the “und” in there.

            In other words, German compound words are very specific and usually don’t carry more than one meaning, I’m sorry to say. :)

      We all grew up with free speech.

      Tell that to any Black American over the age of 65.

      The USA was a political experiment started solely by white, landowning, 20-something slavers for the express intent of genociding as many Native Americans as possible. It’s time for us to stop trying to “reclaim patriotism” and realize the American poltical experiment has devolved into fascism and must be dismantled.

        Ok but you do see how 65 is getting up there in age, right? Like I’m sure there’s a few people here above that, and OP should’ve accounted for that in their statement. But the vast majority of us have in fact grown up in the last 65 years where freedom of speech in the usa has been well and truly absolute.

        The USA was a political experiment started solely by white, landowning, 20-something slavers for the express intent of genociding as many Native Americans as possible.

        People over a hundred years dead do not define the present of a country. Hell, look at Germany. Sure they have a small nazi party but the nazis were only 80 years ago and aren’t defining their present reality…

        The political experiment line is just strange, seriously.

        The thing that is kind of weird for non-Americans to understand is the way so many Americans seem to fetishise patriotism. Greatest country in the world! Freedom! Free speech! etc. We’ve all seen it all over social media for fuckin decades. And the praise for the military defending our freedoms! Seriously, when was the last time the US military was involved in a war that was actually in defense of America? It’s been a fair fuckin while.

        Most of us have been conscious that there were probably a lot of Americans who didn’t feel the same way, especially those who weren’t white, straight, male, etc. All that stuff they were so proud of was the emperor’s new clothes all along.

        For the sake of all the many decent people in America, and the rest of the world, I hope you guys can get a fuckin grip.

          I see displays if nationalism from other countries all the time. We’re not less human than you and there’s something inherent in feeling pride or belonging to the place you come from.

    See, I’m someone who can’t stand Jimmy Kimmel. I find him both unfunny and very annoying as a person, and I never thought there would come a day where I would actually defend him vigorously, but here we are.

    This is truly inexcusable. This is the most blatant violation of the first amendment possible. This is a clear cut example of the government coercing and colluding with corporations to censor a private citizen on a private show for comments that are perfectly legal. He was only censored because MAGA morons got triggered by a statement that’s not even controversial. Even IF it was controversial, that’s literally the whole point of free speech. It’s to defend offensive, controversial, and unpopular opinions from government persecution.

    See, I didn’t care much when Colbert got cancelled because it seemed like it was a business decision, sure, whatever. But this? This is MAGA crossing a line that should never be crossed. We’re starting to enter into actual tyranny territory from this administration. The only MAGA conservatives left are either slimy opportunists or blind loyalists, so I’m not holding my breath on them holding themselves accountable. However, I am hoping that everyone else stands up and takes a stand against this because the consequences of this are very, very serious.

      Forgive me, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around how many people have been sleeping and still are.

      Tyranny is already here. It’s been here since they started taking people to concentration camps. Like how do people not get that? The line has already been crossed and then some. Tyranny is here and will continue to reign until you and everybody else who is asleep or groggy are willing to wake up and do the hard but correct actions.

        I think of “the line” as the event horizon around a black hole. You can recognize it from a distance, but it’s not like there’s a physical barrier you go through when you pass it. That means that if you were actually falling into the hole, you wouldn’t necessarily know when you’ve past the “point of no return.” It’s all just more freefall (and eventual spaghettification) from your point of view. Only those on the outside, looking in, could see that you’re already full and truly screwed.

        I think we passed the event horizon long ago. Anyone talking about “going back to normal” (as I’ve seen some politicians say) is depressingly naive. There is no turning back - the only way out is through.

        I am amazed and shocked every time the line is crossed.

        It is crossing it farther and farther as well, with increasing similarities to other authoritarian lead countries in history.

        My shock is not one of ignorance but defying normalcy.

        However this stuff has been great for people who didn’t pay attention much before or believe stuff before. This time the administration is barely trying to sugarcoat what they are doing.

      July 2: Paramount and Trump settle bullshit 60 Minutes lawsuit for $16 million

      July 14: Colbert criticizes the lawsuit saying it’s a “big fat bribe.”

      July 17: CBS announces that Colbert is cancelled

      Paramount is in the process of a large merger with Skydance Media, which must be approved by regulators (including those controlled/affected by the federal government)

      It wasn’t as blatantly corrupt, but it was still corrupt.
