The popemobile is a joke compare to what he has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_state_car_(United_States)

The video is talking about governments and EU institutions, not general users.

It’s already quite unlikely that there is any life there, but if there was it would probably something similar to extremophile bacteria on earth, not anything close to an intelligent civilisation. Where did you get that?

I hope there is a toddler involved and you’re not one of those pet parents.

I feel the exact opposite. Going back to torrents made everything so much easier. Especially for anime which has a very active torrent community.

I start the VPN, I start the torrent client, I go on the anime-cat website and a few minutes later I can watch the episode(s). And not even using any of the *arr tools.

The biggest hurdle is really just the VPN, because it costs money (but might even be optional depending on your jurisdiction).

I used to do this with a combination of yt-dlp and scraping the media links + wget, but it was quite the hassle. It’s much easier to just torrent it.

Then you can setup a plex or jellyfin server to organise the torrents and ditch those unreliable free streaming sites for good.

That very much depends on your definition of Sentience. The most basic one is just “the ability to sense and feel”, which means a lot more things than humans are sentient.

Some sharks and turtles want to have a word with you.

Yes.

But I also think it’s strange to wear them in schools.

edit: apparently I replied to the title of your other post “Is wearing a school uniform in public at 26 considered strange?”

Well, I just said “higher” not “above all else” and the animal bar isn’t that high to begin with.

My parents live several hundred kilometres away so …yeah.

wtf is with they yacht ad spam lately? Not sure lemmy is the best target audiencee for that …

The Daily Show has an entire playlist of “Between the Scenes” footage, where Trever Noah is mostly talking to the studio audience.

Not the one I was thinking of …

Same in Europe though. In fact “it” is just the proper pronoun for a lot of animals in gendered European languages.

Because we value humans much higher than animals.

Fuck off, clanker.

I don’t mind either statement on it’s own. But it does become problematic once people go around baselessly accusing others of being Nazis/Zionists, which is something that is rampant on lemmy, especially dbzer0 and its offshoots.

Why April? Usually my highest expenses are in January because of some annual bills.

Well, it’s not exactly a cheap hobby!
