Sure, you can disable a lot of features from the home page, but even the remaining bits push you toward Plex’s ecosystem with things like recommendations. And I’ve even seen people complaining about needing to re-disable promotional content after updates. It’s simply a shady business.

Edit: It's just occurred to me that he might literally be referring to the Recommended tab on your home page - which you only have to interact with by choice.

If anyone would care to tell me where I'm being pushed towards Plex's ecosystem I'd love to understand what the flying fuck he's talkin about. The only thing I could find that could generously be called part of the Plex "ecosystem" are the social features. Does it give more "ads" if you have a free account or something? Also I've had a server for 15 years and I've never had to re-do my customization from an update.

seriously. it sucks that plex had to increase their price to $250 but they resisted that increase for like 10 years. nobody is forcing anyone to rent plex lol. its still worth it during sales.

NSFL sometimes stands for "not safe for life" but either is fine with me.

National Stupid Football League, or NSFL for short!

Something that I noticed about these is there is a fairly wide gap in quality between the cheapest landlord special vertical blinds and the "nice" vertical blinds. The nicer ones are fairly thick so they hold their curve and dont get AS jumbled up as the cheap ones. But more imporantly they dont crack just from looking at them.

I still think the 40-hour work week is inherently tied to the idea of the american nuclear family. The answer is that there simply isn't the time to do any of these things unless one person is doing the 40-hours a week office job and the other is doing the 40-hours a week "taking care of shit with the house/kids" job.

Flipping shots gets done far too often in movies. I remember a particularly egregious one in one of the Harry Potter movies where all the text on the blackboard behind a teacher was mirrored lol.

Yeah, im talking about the 207 BILLION US dollars they need to raise. That's an absolutely insane amount of currency if it had to be backed by real things and not "Hey buddy, its the U.S.! nothing could go catastrophically wrong and make this all valueless overnight"
