Decent graphics in this.

How long till we get some crazy jealous guy interaction. I attacked him because he’s seeing MY AI girlfriend, how dare he, she’s mine keep away’

It’s interesting how many lives we live.

TBF no one gets younger so this must apply to pretty much anyone …

Hope everything goes well mate. We are all here if you need some buddies.

I applaud your ideals. I hope it works out for where ever you are located. Everyone deserves some peace and love.

I absolutely agree. But in the aftermath of the US the question was how could this happen?

This thread is a classic example.

Do better is an ideal we would all love. But in real life a huge majority of people are feeling poor and downtrodden. I don’t personally believe what they are voting for is the best thing for them or others, but it’s their vote. The result will repercussions for all.

The MEP’s have a job to represent their constituents from all areas of the community and offer something that fits everyone. What is the middle ground between open migration or no migration. There has to be a line of what countries are safe and what are not. Where does this sit in the scale of left/right?

I know this is an oversimplification and people shouldn’t fit into tickboxes. But the average person does not care for that. They care that they can’t afford housing, can’t get a school place. Telling them to stop caring about that and start having better ideologies will just drive them to vote for populists in secret.

Europe is a totally different continent with a wider range of cultures between countries.

I think in the US given the amount of people who have quietly supported recent actions indicates a lot of people felt not heard on the matter and now there is this crazy result.

Again I’m not saying I support this just that if there is not fair and balanced talk on migration, there is a risk of a lurch to the right.

I consider myself more left however I notice a tone of condescension that I feel does more harm than good. I feel balance, and open conversation is a great tool that’s overlooked in communities.

Ignoring the voices in the community comes at a peril.

If the eu does not take a line somewhere on immigration the far right will make further gains. Given most of these places tout themselves as holiday destinations i can see the rationale.

I am not saying I believe it to be fair. I understand there is nuance and persecution in many places and people want to escape oppression.

I need to bad it as every time I see it, I think oh ffs humanity does not stand a chance.

Regurgitated tat based on either something someone said yesterday or some YouTuber/tiktokers idiotic musings.

Shower thoughts in general have benn dead a whilst.

Most? Maybe some and what you are describing is cognitive and physical development. Given the lifespan of an animal and human it’s a bit of a bold thought.

Take a look at any house with multiple cats and humans and you should be able to get a good take on differing level of cognitive behaviour…just a good idea to measure your scale of intelligence amongst your domesticated animals.

Yup. Coffee beans have to be decent and from a roaster

ok i added soulbeet which works with slskd. It isnt bad, simple enough to setup like the arrs. UI is simple to navigate but basic functionality.

In terms of finding content it does, but its a tad slow, its a good 90 seconds cycle to typing a song title, it then looks for it, i confirm its the correct option, it then relooks for the actual file. It then bounces across to a dl list.

Mine 90% says error but when i look in slskd its kinda actioned.

It is supposed to move the file from download to my library, it does not do that, i have the same with lidarr…so i think thats something wrong in my setup…i suspect filepath confusion.

It does not import playlist (dev says coming) or multiplesongs/a list facility. so its just type a song at a a time.

It places everything in a ‘singles’ folder which seems to sit alongside the albums folders. which is not quite a cohesive library. When i chose to manually move my singles (due to the non auto move) it took all my content inc the albums and put everything as singles, so now my library jellyfin/finamp does not display albums. Library management is tricky…anyone got a suggested setup?

I have felt like this for some years. Like I was fighting a tide and those around me called me crazy for my cautiousness.

But more people are asking questions, more people are voicing they don’t like how things are turning. Not all are willing to take the leap …just yet but it’s a start.

My next plan. And shamefully but a FU to the energy Omani’s is a log burning stove.

I feel bad as I like to conserve, and I try to be non waste but it feels polluting.

Same. My spending is one of my biggest voices

I feel like Hersheys is an odd example I’d argue Hersheys is tat I can consider it mainstream , but elite no, not when you can either Swiss or a real chocolate elsewhere. But then that’s a different argument of quality over marketing.
