i think the snootier part came from the people memeing hipsters. reminds me of the noise in stem college. like, why are we dumping on the people in the art building again? can anyone tell me? the head of the department over there is actually a nice person.

Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week
Roku users will be hit first.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/11 … -this-week
i got hit so many times with the "you should set up plex!" from circles. i was like "eeehh." well, here we are, some small amount of vindication.
imagine if chicken farmers did a 'crackdown' on egg dishes.

I haven't been in a movie theater so for awhile. My girlfriend uses a Chinese website that streams in 720. 1080 with a subscription.
I have a plex server for all my dvd's (which grows monthly). I share for free to family members.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Hello Jellyfin.
so hey, we're past thanksgiving.
anyway,
aita for wanting someone to wipe grease and oil and crud off their hands before they get into my car. bang the mud off their shoes? for asking them to hold off on stuffing their face for five fucking minutes, at least until we get to our destination? i don't want my ride smelling like your microwaved garlic-spam bagel, brad. i don't want to wipe gunk off of door handles. i don't want to vacuum crumbs off the car seats and floor or out of car pockets, or have to snatch rotted banana peels out from under the seats. pick your ass up and step out properly. stop dragging yourself across the seat and tearing the material with your unholy brick of a wallet. don't throw your shit on my dash, don't toss garbage on the back seat, and stop dicking around with the radio settings.
*wipes diesel from hands onto seat of pants* "hey newbie, can you give me a ride?" blergh.
i feel like jay would make a comment about tissue boxes over my shoes or something.
e: i don't really understand the stereotype about how women's cars are filthy. the most heinous vehicles i've ever seen belonged to men. seriously, surfaces in there will eat an armorall rag in one swipe.

At least your thing is just dirty. I came back from a sick day and my chair is broken. It leans all the way back now. I have to see if it is something I can fix or if this is just how my chair works now.
Cant stand when people try to eat in my car.
it's plotting to nibble the cables of your expensive earbuds.

there has been very little that is ‘mundane’ about my existence. i don’t need a filthy and ungrateful animal to make my life exciting! i go outside! i have hobbies, dammit!
the other half is making encouraging sounds about very nice and expensive designer furniture. which is the perfect opportunity for me to point out that good stuff in means awful tacky filthy cat crap has to go. the transition to sensible good living has begun in earnest.

My girlfriend's fridge smells like an Asian supermarket
put baking soda at the back of the fridge in an open jar.
'foreign' supermarkets are a treat. usually way cheaper than buying that stuff from main chains' anemic international sections. the smell of an asian supermarket is the smell of liberty. the promise of a lunch that won't make you nauseous for the rest of the day.
I am dubious about the quality of asian food.
Fuck Israel
you should be skeptical about the quality of western junk foods. obviously don't be re-reheating rice meals or sauces that died in the back of the cupboard before covid-19 was born, but giving fresh-rolled gimbap and a seaweed salad or bulgogi a chance could be like coming up for air after drowning in a pit of garbage for the past however long. people will wrinkle their nose at the smell of an asian market but get all rumbly in the tummy when greaseburger fumes waft their way from some heart failure factory. i don't have the words.
do you think america and australia are sitting near the top of the quality rankings for school lunches, or in a desirable spot for obesity rates?

ridiculously stupid comment, especially coming from an anglo, whose cuisine regularly ranks near the bottom globally in terms of taste and appeal. 'asian food' isn't the greasy imitation-cantonese stuff you get from takeaways in worra worra, mate (and MSG is perfectly fine).Dilbert_X wrote:

let's take a look at obesity rates, shall we?
from that trusted sinophile source, the daily mail.
in terms of life expectancy, asians have practically been world-famous for their freakish life expectancies. western medicine has only just been catching up to what the japanese were managing mostly through healthy eating and active lifestyles alone. certainly nothing to sniff at from an occidental perspective – it goes without saying that US/UK are smoked by asians, as ... well, our average diets are shit.
your average asian family are eating freshly produced meals. furthermore, your average asian grandparent is practicing tai chi in the local municipal park and walking 5,000 steps a day. do i really need to even comment on how the west is doing so much worse in this regard? worry a little less about 'asian food'. you've been watching too many tiktok videos of 'gutter oil' from a tier-three city in the chinese boonies, or looking at streetfood in dhaka.
and imagine having a problem with 'asian food' when japan, for one, comfortably tops just about every 'foodie' or gourmand list as destination no. 1, lmao. i think it will be a while before people fly 14 hours to try all that beige aussie provender.
don't get me wrong, i miss british food often and it's one of the only contributors to me occasionally feeling homesick. but, if we're being very honest with ourselves in this conversation, your average western person is eating ultra-processed shit and dying of heart disease or suffering lifestyle-accelerated dementia and other degenerative conditions. your average brit's shopping cart is horrifying – and americans are far worse. casting aspersions on 'peer' nations in asia like japan/china/korea/etc. is pure cope.

even in terms of ready meals, the convenience store or supermarket culture in asia is famously superior to anything in the west. you can get dozens of fresh food options from the corner 7-11 for a fraction of the cost of horrendous, ultraprocessed microwave meals in the west. it's a supply-chain miracle tbh, every one of my friends i've introduced to it is amazed that the whole thing even works and is possible.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

i know india, or rather the tourist experience in india, is practically a byword for diarrhoea and gastrointestinal problems – but even then, imagine punching down on a country with 1/6th of your GDP, when everyone there is fucking vegan. the guy who has lorded it over everyone on bf2s for 15 years because his tummy doesn't like meat, being denigratory about the world's most famously vegetarian people/cuisine. LMAO.
i am obviously extremely partial to anglo cuisine, but honestly, the number of times i've had to stress and explain to an asian interlocutor that we're not all chowing down (with what remaining teeth we have, that is) on this everyday ... is a fucking national travesty.
i mean ... this is the fucking main image on the wikipedia page for 'australian cuisine':
hahahaha. it's a lifelong effort, living in asia, trying to beat these allegations.

You missed the point.
I would not trust a packet of unbranded cornershop noodles to not be made of formaldehyde, flavoured with crack and coloured with the waste left over from oil refining.
China has already poisoned half its farmland, other asian countries had a headstart on that.

well, for a start japan invented instant noodles and korea refined it. those are the two countries associated with dry/instant noodles. and they are very good, as far as instant convenience food goes.
examples of contamination or food poisoning abound in western industrial supply chains. there have been many notable food recalls and controversies in recent years. tesco sold horse-meat to people labelled as beef. you can pick any examples you like, except of course it wouldn't confirm your racist prejudices.

and, erm, okay? why are you pretending like these issues don't afflict every modern industrialised economy? america has factory farming and agricultural runoff too. issues with poor topsoil and monoculture production aren't confined to the mandate of heaven.other asian countries had a headstart on that.

fwp: ssd drives to be another unnecessarily expensive part of new build in the perfect storm of bs? thanks samsung. thanks micron, thanks m$ and tpm requirements (e: am i even staying in the windows environment though?), thanks tariffs, thanks techbros.
oh, ya, i bet i should be buying drives as soon as i can before they go up from not very exciting to no way, huh.
"just wait until 2026-2027." here we go…

guy talks about and avoids asian food like my octogenarian grandfather, who can't think about trying sushi without mentioning 'what the japs did to my friends in the royal glosters in burma'.
