So reddit is bad because you can’t break a subreddit’s rules without getting called out? Also, sarcasm with 0 context, especially in text form, should always be assumed that it will not be interpreted as sarcasm. That title alone in the subreddit could absolutely be considered clickbait.

Three Minutes: A Lengthening - documentary about three minutes of recovered video footage from a small town in Poland in the late 1930’s. The scope of it started small and it expanded continuously throughout the movie. It was really impactful. The only footage shown is the video footage itself, the narrator is Helena Bonham Carter. I highly recommend it if you like documentaries.

Let The Right One In - 2008 low budget Swedish horror film. I’d always heard it was well regarded and it did not disappoint one bit. Delightfully tense, cathartic, and unsettling.

Kermit the frog catching major strays in this thread. Don’t do him dirty like that.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don’t remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.

That may be true for some people individually, but I believe if no one at a company is able to build any connection (even on a professional level of base rapport ), that’s much more an indicator of the company’s failures to build a proper company culture that supports that.

People have been making close friends over the Internet with zero in-person interactions for decades now. And that’s even without video chat being the primary way of doing it. I work 100% remote at a company with ~2500 employees. I’m pretty introverted, but I’ve managed to make a few friends mostly over slack that I would ask if they wanted to grab a drink or something if I were traveling through their area. There’s no pressure or expectation of that from the company, there’s no “we’re family” nonsense, they’ve just created a company culture where that can happen.

Plex is truly great! I forgot to mention it streams music in addition to movies and tv. The Plex web app is not particularly fantastic for streaming music, but they have a separate app called Plexamp that is really great. So all in all you can use this setup to eliminate all your streaming subscriptions.

Pay for a seedbox and install Plex on it (something like whatbox.ca). You’ll have your own streaming service that you can add anything you want to, and it only costs as much as the seedbox. It will give you insularity so you don’t get ISP notices, you can access it from anywhere, it’s great.

From there it’s just finding where you want to get your torrents from and getting used to adding them to the torrent client on your seedbox.
