I'm not going to defend a rapist, but these types of oddities of the court system are intended to protect victims and innocent people. If they occasionally mean that a guilty person is treated more humanely than they deserve, then so be it.

Nah, I was being a little bit snarky, trying to point out that jellyfin is not an alternative to stremio.

As far as I know, jellyfin only streams local content, so for movies and TV you probably want the *arr family to find and download all the things.

I haven't really heard of kids going hungry in Australia. Social security for young families is pretty good. There's loads of free activities, and childcare is heavily subsidised and very accessible.

The purported benefits of the legislation was not to "keep teens and kids safe" from predators and so on, but rather to preserve their cognitive function. At least that's how I understood it.

I'm not suggesting this was the best approach, but I don't really buy that the legislation was made to enhance surveillance. That was the intention of some corporate supporters perhaps, but the legislators genuinely thought this would improve the quality of life of Australians.

I gave up on stremio a few weeks ago.

First the torrent search plugin I had been using only showed a very few releases. Then after changing to another search plugin my debrid provider was telling me almost everything had been DMCA'd, then when trying to find a new debrid provider several of the larger ones couldn't take my payment.

IDK if something changed, or if these frustrations have been creeping in and I only just encountered all of them at once.

I started using stremio because it was the quickest and easiest "search to watch" for someone who doesn't care to keep the content lying around. As that no longer seems to be the case I'm just downloading torrents from 1337x again.

This is just rage bait.

Of course women can do whatever they want to do to feel safe.

I don't think the salesman / fake number thing is a reasonable analogy though.

They are undoubtedly having a shitty day, it's a low paid job where you just grind it out getting 99 rejections to land 1 lead.

I'm not rude but I don't entertain them for a moment either. "Sorry mate, I'm not interested. Thanks, good bye".

Yeah, I've become something of a refuse-police everywhere I go.

It pisses me off that you can just put whatever in the bin and it gets disappeared and you've done a great job caring for the planet.

Most of it is just plain not recyclable. Never was. Some can theoretically be downcycled into expensive ugly park benches that no one wants so no one bothers to do that. Only PET can be "re" cycled, but plenty isn't.

I genuinely wish you luck.

I imagine your biggest challenge will be the network effect.

Toddlers clothes and toys and other gear might be a good niche market to target. They go through heaps of stuff. Probably the only reason I still have Facebook marketplace.

Do some physical posters at daycares and community centres.
