This is the same business model that tech "startups" use, just at a vastly accelerated time table. Upend some existing market (in this case, several markets) by burning through cash at an unsustainable rate. Once your customers have been hooked, and/or the alternatives eliminated as competitors, you crank up the prices to try and make the business cashflow positive.

Easy, have your AI transcription agent be a third party that can consent so you have a majority! (/s... sorta)

The "CAUTION! Low Bridge" sign kills me. Something so.. everyday in the middle of whatever this is.

When you can't afford a vacation you may as well splurge on lunch now and then.

The problem is that some people have wildly differing ideas on what counts as "just politics". As an example, the doctor brings up the question "would a pride flag be banned if it make a homophobic person uncomfortable?". To the homophobe, gender identity is "just politics". To the gay/trans/etc person it very much is not politics.

The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.
