That's what automation is for.

Whenever I come across an interesting movie/show; I open a webpage that I host, search for a title (results from imdb) and click 'add+search'.

~15min later, it's available for me, my friends, and my family to watch on my own private streaming service. (for such reliably quick downloads, I recommend usenet over torrents)

Sonarr, Radarr, Emby/Jellyfin

Other users besides me can even request content via Ombi.

Are you sure they won't just be offered a job at the whitehouse? All they've gotta do is say they love Trump and he'll sign a pardon after all.

Lmao, classic troll brownie move. Bonus if he still cut out a square of brownie, but diagonally in the center.

When's the last time a school shooter (that made it to trial, obviously), got slapped with terrorism charges, had the prosecution seek the death penalty, or get prevented from accessing their family/lawyers for extended periods?

I agree, there are few similarities between the two crimes. I would say shooting up a building full of innocent children, particularly when death is involved, is a significantly worse crime than killing a single man. Yet the sought punishments are wildly disproportionate in the opposite direction.

Lmao, cost of doing business.

I've been looking for work lately and getting told the same thing by the employment offices around me (job search assistance).

It feels so bizarre and pushy to email back after an application/interview. I showed up and did my part, the balls in their court now, I'm just waiting for a response. To reach out again seems like I'm leaning over their shoulder and asking 'have you made a decision yet??? How about now, can I have a job now?'

They already know what I want, what I can offer, and how to reach me. What more do they need?

Is America great again yet?

I would definitely bring this up with the landlord; those locks need to be replaced if you can potentially trap yourself inside (or have someone else trap you inside). This is a pretty serious fire hazard for every tenant that has the same door locks.

If the landlord isn't interested in it, talk to the local Fire Marshall.

It'll only stock red white and black face paint though.

Just what people need; a false sense of security...

You don't need an export button to save copies of a chat. Even if screenshots are blocked and you're not running an OS that lets you bypass that, you can always take photos/video of the screen when all else fails.

Once you've sent data, it is no longer in your control. Messages, emails, posts, files, replies, encrypted end-to-end chat applications, all of it: Don't send it if you don't want someone somewhere to keep a copy. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't; it's no longer in your control once it has left your device.

Cue dumbasses tossing their iphones in the toaster oven in 3... 2...

I've had some good ones and bad ones. Most of the thin plastic film ones are a total waste of time, but there are some really nice gorilla glass screen protectors that will stand up to a whole lot of abuse.

Yeah, the screens are really tough, but they're still glass. They will still break if you manage to drop/hit them at the right angle with enough force. A screen protector makes sure that force isn't directly on the screen. A broken screen protector is much easier/cheaper to replace than the screen.

A really good one, applied properly; you should essentially never even notice is there, but adds an extra layer of protection for when you do inevitably drop the device.

Poor quality or poorly applied protectors can be a PITA; interfering with touch detection, air bubbles, scratching really easily, crappy glue, sometimes even comming off during use. You get what you pay for.

I haven't really noticed scratches on any device with a decent protector in several years, but I don't keep things like keys in the same pocket either. They aren't perfect though; I've broken at least two phone screens through the glass screen protector without breaking the protector itself...

Still, better to have that little bit of extra protection.
