  • Yeah, I was agreeing with the person I responded to, and my comment related to the person they were responding to. Obviously this format can leave that a little unclear. Basically, two comments up from mine was this disingenuous argument that Netflix is trash, and that’s just wrong, but it’s an argument I see used about any number of things here on Lemmy, and to me, it dilutes the argument, because you’re clearly coming from this place of bias right out of the gate.

    I just think it’s okay to say a product itself provides a good service, but that they’re fucking it all up by injecting shit into it, to the point that, regardless of how quality the product may be, the injected shit is so repugnant that I would abandon this quality product for it.




  • You’re responding to the same disingenuous argument you see all over Lemmy made by folks whose jobs are in the IT field.

    That being said, why hate Plex? I’m sure, like me, you’re grandfathered in. Is it fucking new users? Sure. Sucks. Not everything is a battlefield, and they’ll eventually fuck me and then I will abandon them, it is what it is. But for now, the shit just always works with almost no tweaking from me. I really can’t ask for much more. Got my mom to watch The Wire because of Plex.


  • Dirty Dick’s. Besides the obvious, being able to say “Hey, lemme put some dirty dicks on your taco,” and the like, the stuff is phenomenal. It is not for everything, like, say, a Tapatio would be, but I use it most of the time.

    Dirty Dick’s is a sweet heat, and they kill it in both departments. Nowhere on the bottle do they advertise how many Scoville units, because it’s silly. They created a sweet yet spicy sauce that is perfect for pulled pork, or beef/chicken tacos, pretty much anything in the tex-mex spectrum (the texmextrum, if I may).

    I have yet to try it with Asian or Indian fare, and I won’t even begin to speculate, because I am far from some culinary genius, I just follow recipes well.

    So yes, allow me to shill for putting dirty dicks on your food.


  • Yeah, here and Reddit, I find myself nodding along often enough, and that’s when I know I should perhaps adjust my viewpoint, just for the sake of making sure I’m not just nodding along. It’s unfortunate you’re perhaps being brigaded a bit, but it doesn’t matter. I say what I’m gonna say, people can think whatever. I like to think that we can come here speak on things, have philosophical discussions, but it feels like sometimes the whole discussion has been aimed in a certain direction before it even got underway.

    We had two cats. Fed them the exact same way. One got fat and had diabetes, and eventually died because she swallowed something that was not food that got stuck in her intestines. The other cat, he has always maintained a healthy weight. I think it all came down to some kind of feline anxiety though, where she was always seeming anxious, right down to being overprotective of food, and he’s incredibly chill and always has been, except when neighborhood cats wander on our property.

    We always opted for Fancy Feast pate, had looked them up when the diabetes first showed up, and they’re apparently high protein, low carb, and they served us well enough. We mix in some other stuff from time to time for variety, but that’s the bulk of it. I’m interested in this Primal though, definitely going to have a look. He is now somewhere in the 13ish range, dunno for certain since he was a street urchin when my wife found him, but we’re trying to let him live a long, healthy life, in spite of his urge to die on the streets somewhere.
