It’s actually pretty common to say 0th index, but it depends a lot on context.

It’s not just high school. That’s just how chemistry is taught because it’s extremely complex and requires many simplifications to be able to teach it to a lay person in any meaningful capacity. Good instructors will mention these simplifications, but it’s likely your current understanding of certain things (especially organic compounds) is also overly simplified. It’s unfortunately the only way to teach it.

Even then buying and selling stocks, having a 401k, IRA, etc. doesn’t even make it complicated. You just have to fill out a 1099-B/DIV/INT and then list your contributions to your retirement accounts.

I don’t know why people pretend it’s so hard. You spend 30 minutes every year answering a few questions and punching numbers into boxes from a few documents that are sent to you by your broker/bank/employer. It’s also only $15 at FreeTaxUSA.

Opening the accounts you report to the IRS is arguably more difficult than filing them on your taxes.

If you have the technical knowledge (or ability to follow instructions) you can setup your torrents behind a VPN using qBittorrent and gluetun in one docker container, and Plex/Jellyfin in another with a shared volume between them. It provides you near bullet proof protection due to the isolated environment and prevents accidentally clicking those .mp4.exes since it abstracts file management away from you. It’s also super user friendly once set up even if you’re not running a media server 24/7 and just want it for your desktop.

If you wanna get fancy you can use the *arr suite of software to do some magic fairy shit including automatic indexing (searching dozens of torrent sites simultaneously), but that can quickly become a deep rabbit hole. Once setup though it’s seamless and kicks ass.

I wasn’t blaming it on anyone. I was just explaining why so many young people, myself included, choose to not give any thought to things they can’t control. It’s not worth the mental energy and will make you depressed and miserable. I’m all for fighting for things that can be changed, but there’s only so much one person can do. Prioritizing what one can give effort to is a much better way to go about it than stressing out about everything wrong with the world.

Because many of us were thrust into an extremely fucked up world where caring all the time will give you anxiety and leave you feeling hopeless. It’s much more productive to focus your efforts on things you can control instead of being upset about the things you can’t. I’m very conscious of the world I leave behind. I respect nature, don’t litter, don’t own a car, limit my meat intake, and most importantly I’m not having children. All of these things will contribute to a better world, but they don’t require me to care about anything outside of my control.

This has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with trying to be okay in an increasingly more depressing world. I just want to exist and not dread everything all the time.

I’m a Zoomer with a Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu server, an 18 TB HDD, and 35 years of combined seed time. I’ll let you fill in the gaps. Many of us are extremely tech literate and often share our Plex/Jellyfin instances with friends. Many of these not-so-etch-literate friends ask how they can do this for themselves using their computers and we shoot them over instructions.

Piracy is infinitely easier/more accessible than ever. It’s spreading like wildfire and thanks to the FOSS community anyone with a spare evening can get themselves up and running very quickly.

Not OP, but I just use ZeroTier for this since it’s dead simple to setup and free. I’m sure there’s some 100% self-hosted solutions, but it’s worked for me without issue.

I’m more of a toasted salami and cheese on sourdough with mustard, salt, and pepper guy personally, but any sandwich really fits the bill. Sometimes I say fuck it and just throw butter and cheese on some bread when I’m really feeling lazy.

I’d say it’s more convenience than elitism.

I’m in BTN and it’s the only indexer I use for my Sonarr instance because it has absolutely everything. I’ve never not been able to find something and almost everything I download will saturate my 1.2 Gbps connection.

For Radarr I don’t have any private trackers and it takes 35 public trackers to get coverage that is almost as good. The options I’m given are way less organized and download speeds are a gamble. It’s not really an issue because I rarely watch movies, but I definitely understand why private trackers are so sought after. I’ll eventually try to get into some smaller ones which tend to be pretty easy to do.

I’ve been using Google’s Gemini and it’s pretty good at interpreting fucked up or imperfect smart commands. For example we have some lights named “Chrimas Lights” and it will turn those on and off by referring to them as Christmas lights. It can also do multiple commands in a row without being overly explicit. So you can say “set lights to x%, make them yellow, and turn them off in an hour and set my TV to volume x” and it’ll do it no problem. The old assistant could not do anything even close to this.

It’s also much faster and processes words as fast if not faster than a human can. From finishing a command to the command being executed seems to be about 1/10th of a second which makes me wonder if it’s doing any sort of inferencing on the back end. It’s one of the best LLM integrations I’ve seen so far.

I got stopped with a Panettone once. Thankfully this was in EWR so the Italian-American gate agent understood why I’d be smuggling one to the west coast.

That’s interesting given that in California pre-school is 4-yo and kindergarten is the year after that.

If you hit us-east-1 and us-west-2 I truly believe 95% of Western websites would not be fully functional. Most people either rely on, or rely on a service that in some way relies on those regions. Every time Lambda has gone down in IAD it takes with it many ordering applications and tons of physical badging systems around the country.

Not to mention people saying, “just ignore every major metro in the US which happens to make up a majority of the population” in response to housing being expensive is ignoring that most people are dealing with housing being way too fucking expensive. Like sure if I go buy a plot of dirt with a house 2 hours from a major population center then of course it’ll be affordable. Too bad there’s 0 jobs out there and 0 reason to live in the sticks for most people.

274 million people live in or near population centers, with only ~57 million living in rural areas. We can’t just ignore that the places with most of the people are becoming unaffordable due to draconian zoning policy and lack of government push for more housing.

I, for one, welcome the formation of the New California Republic. Washington and northern Oregon can join too if they’d like.

Never thought writers would have to deal with that too, but i guess everyone thinks they should write a book now. Software engineers experience the same shit. “It’s Facebook, but inconsequential feature that no one will use”. I’ve started quoting people twice my hourly rate from my full time job and it’s gotten it to largely stop.

No people in the real world say this

I’ve heard similar things from women when I was in college, and not someone joking around or being ironic.

This whole thread seems filled with people who view men as victims of something. They aren’t.

This is a thread of men supporting each other emotionally, and venting about how society largely disregards any problems that affect primarily men. There are a few shithead bigots who are gonna try to shove in their vile opinions, but they’re all pretty down voted and a small minority. All the top level discussion seems pretty reasonable to me, and venting about the very thing you’re doing with this statement.

Men, as a group, are not general victims of anything they didn’t choose.

I don’t think the young men in Russia who were forcefully conscripted and sent to die in the Ukrainian war (or a Russian prison) chose to do so. You can’t just generalize the struggles of an entire demographic and brush them aside as their fault. It reminds me of the rhetoric of women being sexually assaulted because they dressed a certain way. It’s extremely sexist and gets us absolutely nowhere, only pushing people further into extremes.

Men, in general, have higher job mortality rates, higher suicide rates, shorter life expectancy, and higher homelessness rates to name a few things. None of us “chose” this. However, because the problems affect men they’re often swept aside.

You can benefit from a system in some ways while still being a victim of it in others. I completely agree that much more work needs to be done for women and people of color, and that there are much worse/more skewed injustices that they face (which is why that’s where society’s focus is/should be right now). However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t acknowledge the struggles men face when they’re brought up.

Hilariously enough, even at the theater, you’d get a better experience pirating the movie. Y’know, cause you’d ACTUALLY GET TO WATCH THE MOVIE AT ALL. Proving yet again piracy is a service problem.
