Ironically, these (the ones who voted for Trump) are the very Somalis that actually ARE garbage people.

We thought we’ll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

Yeah, that’s the unrealistic part. The sister would’ve known how he is and asker her kid not to bother uncle.

I think you’re reading way too much into it. We Indians (most of us, people in the South often flip it) write our names similar to the west i.e. family name last. But we definitely have a “family first” culture.

Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That’s one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here. It’s hard to find anyone so full of themselves.)

That said, if it works for your needs, it’s a great app. I won’t judge anyone for using it, but I’m someone who can’t and won’t separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you’ve been warned.

On Android, you should try out Tempus.

To anyone saying they’re happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won’t come for you too?

Yeah, I got an 80% off deal via mail. This offer was showing up for me, but I couldn’t use it, just like OP. I had to use the specific link I got in the mail.

Yeah. We usually consider lawyers, doctors, tech people, academics at fancy universities etc. to be rich. But in the grand scheme of things, they’re upper middle class at best. The real rich are all people with generational wealth coming from businesses.

I’m willing to bet $5 that Stephanie too voted red.

Her abuser got his punishment and did not need her violence for it to happen.

Can you read? If yes, read the article. She did try other things. Nothing worked. It’s easier to say wise-sounding shit when you make up your own facts, I guess.

I hope you step on a lego and develop a skin disease.

Motherfucker, you know what happens if you walk away from an abuser? They abuse you further. Read the fucking article. Violence wasn’t her first response. It was her last resort. Some need to be dealt with violence, since it’s the only language that they understand.

I see you replying with the same bullshit on over this post. I wonder why you feel so comfortable defending a piece of shit pervert.

I get it, but why punish the bullied person then? Let them off the hook as well. That doesn’t follow any logic.

Aside on the Platner thing, I don’t like the guy because he gives off some weird vibes. But I don’t think he’s a Nazi. He’s been pretty honest about his past, and I think we should learn to let people grow.

Americans seem to be too comfortable defending perverts.

I don’t know how good my English is, but it’s my third language. Bengali and Hindi are my first two. I speak a couple more languages closely related to these (e.g. Urdu, Punjabi, Assamese, Odia, Sanskrit etc. Also been trying to learn French). But I can’t read or write in them.

I learnt English from two sources. My reading and writing abilities mostly come from school. I had some pretty good teachers, who encouraged reading newspapers to learn English. At least in my case, it really helped.

When it comes to speaking and understanding spoken English (with all its irregularities due to accents and whatnot), watching movies and cartoons helped. I used to download and watch all kinds of movies during high school, possibly some that I shouldn’t have watched at that age. My love for movies is basically what made me somewhat competent in the spoken aspect of English. (It also got me into piracy, and ultimately into FOSS, so I guess I owe a lot to the great directors whose movies were hard to find legally lol.)

I’ve edited my comment with some more recommendations. Mokapots are very forgiving, so you’ll be fine with preground coffee. If you get a decent hand grinder, I’ll bet money that you can’t tell the difference between that and any fancy grinder, Mokapots are just that forgiving.

Use it within a week or so, and it’s very close. Hell, I’d say even two weeks is fine; but it may depend on your method of brewing, and sensitivity of palate. You can even freeze part of the grounds to keep them fresh for longer. James Hoffmann did a nice video about it.

If you really want to grind yourself, you can get really nice hand grinders for around $150 from 1Zpresso. If you’re on a tighter budget, Timemore C3 is a good cheaper optiosn, that’s good enough for anything that’s not espresso, or turkish coffee.

Yeah. I have a somewhat cheap one at around $300, but if you don’t wanna buy, try looking for local roasteries. They usually offer preground options. Even some coffee shops will grind it for you if you ask nicely. Their grinders are usually much fancier than whatever any enthusiast will buy anyway.

Yeah.

Due to my father being a student leader in his youth, and later a local socialist party worker, I happen to know quite a few Indian politicians. I know people both from the left, and the right, and more than 90% of them are awful manipulative bastards. That’s the main reason I decided not to be active in the party. Even though I support their on-paper agenda, I just loathe the leadership, and don’t have the patience or the will to work with them. I still go to their events whenever I’m in India, like fundraisers and stuff, but I try to avoid the leadership. Fuckers make my skin crawl.

Edit: All the people talking about therapy in the other comments probably mean well, but not everything can (or needs to) be solved by therapy. I think this is one of the negative aspects of therapy when its hyper focused on individuals. This sort of idea that everyone should try to change themselves, instead of critiquing the society is what’s got us into this individualistic hellhole. Sure, go ahead and disconnect from these people, or learn to ignore them and be happy; but these people are still there, and they often have real power over us. You can ignore them, until you can’t; that’s how we get people like Trump.
