Only if you support China blindly.

I'm a socialist and I have many issues with the take that China does no wrong.

Starship Troopers. Yes it's worth watching. It's both an excellent satire of a society dominated by its military (it's portrayed as if it's an in-universe propaganda film) and an extremely well crafted action film.

It was directed by Paul Verhoeven, the same guy who directed RoboCop and Total Recall.

Japan is notably more xenophobic. No matter how long you live in Japan, even if you manage to get full citizenship (which even celebrities who have lived there for decades struggle with), you are never considered "Japanese" by the native-born Japanese people.

The USA on the other hand is comparatively easy to become a citizen of and has laws banning discrimination based on race and national origin for employers. A citizen is a citizen is a citizen. The only job in the entire country that requires you be born as a citizen is the POTUS.

This has the same solution as the original. You ask them "which door would your brother say leads to certain doom?" and then you take that door.

Personally I have a secondary external SSD I use for my cache and transcode directories so that my transcodes aren't throttled by being read from and written to the same disk.

Also of note is that Jellyfin does have a cron job built into it to clear the transcodes directory. You can see it under Dashboard -> Scheduled Tasks -> Clean Transcode Directory. I have mine set to run every 24 hours.

Easy, the guy who wanted to make this truck has never worked a day in his life.

There's more to joining a party than voting. You can join the party that advocates for the issues you care about and vote for the party that could actually win and is the lesser evil

Fuck that, I don't want my boss coming into my house through a teleporter.

So many employers act like they own their employees as it is.

It's simple: he spoke to an undercurrent of emotional resentment that a lot of people had and gave them permission to feel like they were good people (or at least not bad people) for feeling that way. Every seemingly logical explanation that the right twists into place in hindsight is only a justification for that gut reaction.

They want to feel good for having xenophobic, nationalist feelings. He gave them permission and said they were the good guys and everyone who disagrees is wrong. They only care about the facts that back up that perspective, everything else is conveniently discarded to defend their collective ego. 45's narcissism helps him win this crowd because he's been ignoring all inconvenient facts his whole life, and whenever that habit catches up with him he always has a scapegoat or 12 ready to go.

You should at least recognize that you're holding a double standard here: she's able to criticize you all she wants yet you know she cares and loves you, but it's hard for you to criticize her because you care.

That kind of double standard is an unhealthy dynamic that hurts both of you and your relationship with each other. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was either of your intent for it to be that way, but it has ended up that way regardless of best efforts.

It should display a human-readable error message instead of the raw one.
