  • Wait, why do you say this? I’m no Plex shill, this is disappointing news to hear and is the strongest push toward Jellyfin I’ve had yet. But they’re certainly a business with employees they need to pay, and their app has an objectively large feature set that needs to be maintained. Their employees deserve raises and benefits, and if costs are rising at the grocery store, they’re probably rising for businesses too. Why are we stupid to believe their financial burden is growing?


  • I think they’re just pointing out how Trump is fully just running an ad for Tesla. The President of the USA is hosting an event to sell cars for a poor baby billionaire who’s had to reckon with the consequences of his actions. Groceries, housing, and healthcare are more expensive than ever, people are dying from preventable diseases and mass shootings, people are being ripped from bathrooms or their homes to prove they’re allowed to be there, and our fucking president is telling us to quit being whiny babies and buy $60k+ cars from an obscenely rich guy who deserves to be shot by firing squad.

    There are better ways to manage your anxiety than with nicotine. You’re anxious about your parents finding out because you know they’ll be upset, and they’ll be upset because of the negative impact you’re having on yourself by vaping. Maybe you should consider why they would feel that way.

    No, you’re conflating two different concepts that share the term. Alcohol directly causes central nervous system depression, which is distinct from depressive disorder (aka depression) - the neurological condition. Regular alcohol use/abuse can lead to depressive disorder, but in an indirect way. CNS depressants (alcohol) actually increase GABA neurotransmitter activity, which slows brain activity. This effect on your nervous system has no known direct link to depressive disorder.
