Otherwise known as: boomers wanting to downsize are making a whole bunch of cash with which to do it and are finally paying a fair portion of their net worth.

To be fair that's a pretty recent development. Jellyfin apps for smart tvs are only just becoming stable enough for real use. Plex was the only option for a long time.

Here's my guess.

  1. Tumblr users as a demographic are closer to fedi users than the Facebook/Instagram masses.
  2. There just aren't that many Tumblr users anymore, at least compared to the overwhelming horde that is Threads. The threat of diluting the culture is just a lot lower.

The concept is that you don't have to politely sit quietly and listen while someone spouts hate. You are empowered and encouraged to make it stop. That doesn't necessarily involve physical violence but it should remind you that hate can weaponize the rules of polite society and you don't have help.

Rocky Horror is more campy than just bad imo. It doesn't take itself seriously, unlike the room. Plus the music is fire.

There are a couple of online retailers that specialize in it. That's what we ended up doing for my wife's engagement ring and wedding band. It noticeably sparkles in direct sun, she gets comments on it pretty often.

You blame the people trying to warn everyone because they didn't push one specific point hard enough?

Everything else I was ok with, why didn't they warn me about the olive oil!?

Bad patterns to never repeat

Says they don't want to do it

Does it anyway, as soon as its released.

It's ok to just say you want something.

I have done some basic research into this before and it seems to be a bit of a trade secret among release groups. They don't heavily advertise how they're doing it to limit what the streaming services can do about it.

I obviously can't speak for instance admins or mods but it really annoys me as a user when someone posts a giant wall of text that was clearly generated by an LLM. When I want information on a community like this I want real personal experience and knowledge. Nothing irks me more than someone starting a long comment with "I don't know the answer but I asked chatGPT and here's what it said". To me that says they have no knowledge that would let them edit or validate GPT's answer, so its useless to me.

I edited all of mine on Sunday before the protest and now several of the comments have been restored with no indication they were ever edited. That's so shady.
