Netflix officially removes Basic - the cheapest ad-free tier
  • Go for the Arr suite. Radarr for movies, Sonarr for series. They work well with Jackett, and actually have an even better (use comfort) alternative to it called Prowlarr. Once set up, maybe spending a couple hours understanding how they work, downloading a movie or a series is as easy as entering its name in a search field, seeing the related list (completely accurate), hitting add and watching the torrent start automatically. And if Jellyfin is configured as well, I can start watching whatever I downloaded with a couple clicks right away on any device I have Jellyfin, in full whichever quality my pre-set profile searched the torrent sites for. That's quite the supply chain, centralized after landing on your host computer, streamable to any local devices or online devices, and can be automated to even search and download queries that come through discord messages.

    Understanding the indexer stuff can take a little time at the start, but it is actually as easy as saying that Jackett/Prowlarr is just the middleman between you typing your movie name and searching through all torrent sites you want at the same time. The net has videos of using them if they look confusing at any point. Using Radarr/Sonarr themselves after setting up the indexers is as straightforward as using any streaming services.

  • Tanker carrying Russian oil to China attacked by Houthi sea drone
  • British and US ships being harbored by the Greek host of the operation is a direct counter action to the Houthi efforts to pressure Israel to permanent ceasefire via pressuring its allies with economic repercussions.

    As for the sole ship pointed in this article, it is not a Russian ship per the article. It is a Marshall Islands owned ship, under Liberian flag, operating by and for the profit of a Greek company, carrying Russian oil to China.

    The only negative effect this has for the Houthi/Iran side is that their allies' commerce has also been disrupted. It is not even a negative effect if you count the pressure this applies on their allies Russia and China to separate their commerce from Greek companies.

    Politics is nuanced, this pressure can also backfire, but I seriously doubt either Russia or China would lessen ties over a changeable middleman. On the other hand, Greek companies will feel more pressure from the loss of cut from the Asian trade pie more, and will pressure their government to lessen their involvement in backing Israel in this matter.

  • Tanker carrying Russian oil to China attacked by Houthi sea drone
  • To the people downvoting the above comment: Houthis declaring US and UK ships open to attack as retaliation to the drone strikes in Yemen, then also extending this to the ships operated by the latest coalition against blocking the Red Sea sea traffic against Israeli profits is a would have been a no-brainer when you consider attacks on allies of belligerent countries are viable when it comes to Russian-Ukrainian war or any non-western supported war.

    Houthis have been waging these attacks against with the aim of pressuring the allies of Israel, the decades long genocide committing apartheid, rogue and terrorist state, away from supporting its latest and most intense war crimes. They have been accomplishing this pretty well, and this is just an economic pressure akin to embargoes the western hemisphere applies to whoever they don't like at that moment. There will be literal and figurative friendly fires, attacks on bystanders, and unintended consequences to some extent, of course, but as per the wikipedia compilation, mostly the countries, companies and ships that keep trading with Israel despite their extensive war crimes are affected from the Houthi attacks, while the rest are pretty much operating unhindered.

  • Five Just Stop Oil activists receive record sentences for planning to block M25
  • Whoever (judge or whichever other position) said that should have considered the personal risk these people took in order to take an action many others would benefit but also shy away from. Especially considering that the ones responsible to reflect the wishes of the people and benefit of the people have given themselves all the exceptions that will protect them from not doing their duty.

  • Do you take a shower after you swim?
  • Freshwater lakes are quite nice to swim in and get out without showering. Skin can feel a little more coarse than when you get out of a bot bath, but still not uncomfortable enough by itself to warrant a shower. But if you have medium to long hair, you'd definitely want hot water and maybe soap/shampoo to untangle and unbunch it to feel comfortable.

  • While I agree that calling centrism just fascist in a disguise wouldn't be apt without context, the political support the centrist parties and people gave to the most nutjob right wing, fascist or fascist-tendency showing parties have made the left hardened against the "can't we all get along" wolf cries of the center aimed at them and not the right wingers, while the said right wingers kept chipping away at freedoms and human rights everywhere.

    I called myself a centrist till about 5-6 years ago. I know all the views one can rightfully hold there, mostly wrapped around constructive criticism of the left, but also the naive and exploitable inexperienced approaches one can fall into and play into the hands of fascists-ideologies-in-disguise, mostly presented as detracting propaganda when you develop an eye for it.

    On top of this, there is also the real fascists-in-disguise posing as harmless, well wishing centrists that prey on dejected centrists' need for belonging, abusing it via inclusionary gatherings and confusing it via sidetracking the topics with false, thought killing presumptions.

    The left already has its own criticisms in it, including conservative or traditionalist approaches in a non-american connotation. Actually I would argue the left is more grounded in its traditionalist approaches than the right. For example, the cyberpunk dystopia is often attributed to diversified and uncontested will that is confused by the left's diversified and unhindered rights, while in reality the right's diversified political-corporate speech and uncontested will that don't respect others' rights are leading us into it.

    With the left already being capable of covering the tradition, common sense, and unity among its reason-based thought system, a centrist or right wing defense of such topics is justifiably left out to being considered a backwards, exploitable and abusable naive or disguised confusion propaganda.

    And on top of this, today's social, political, economic, ecological, etc. environment in all its aspects is suffering the results of the half-assed and exploitable leeways given to the right wing parties and corporations for decades during the cold war period when most of the both western and eastern political hemisphere fell into us vs them fascist underlying ideologies. Do you expect any more leniency given to the exploitable or already exploited centrist ideologies after the decades of backsliding it helped grow?

  • OK at it Again
  • How is letting someone know about the facets of a topic is preparing them to use abused in that topic? Especially without an agent meddling in between. What, will the books themselves have sex?

    I'm aware that enough knowledge about sex and reproduction alone does not warrant a valid consent for sex just by itself and there are many more matters that should be taken into account, including enough experience in regular life matters to understand the scope of agreement for it, which a child or teen would not have, but at least enabling access to the material by which they can learn about it on their own volition is a good start to construct personal identity.

    Ask the fucking priests that touched you in places and called it something bullshit like putting god in you if they support anyone learning and constructing their own sexual identity through intermediary-free inanimate objects is safe and sound, you'll get probably get more touching as they teach you what they think.

  • OK at it Again
  • If you think that having an option to learn about life and know something about it before being exposed to the dangers going blind into an experience is bad and grooming, I have news for you. You have been groomed into being a breeder-only type of human being with all these anti sex-education (even optional for only those who seek it) showing it.

    Go breed like rabbits and shut up about people learning how to safely engage in sex and how to turn it into an enjoyable experience rather than a sneaky risky fleeting act that can put on them lifelong unwanted responsibilities.
