The fact that you are framing it as a binary between “demand performance” and “coddling” tells me you don’t really have strong people skills

The ones I had were chalky like Necco wafers

So you could literally puff out and make the dust from the wafer look like you were smoking

Cool stuff for a five year old!

Teams are made of people. People skills make you more effective at dealing with people.

Obviously you can be a total prick and demand performance and maybe get some people onboard but nobody thrives in those environments and unless you want to deal with turnover and mediocrity you foster good working environments with your teammates

Baseball is simply harder to watch. It’s true that NFL games are very much stop and go but the game moves.

Baseball will literally have complete innings where nothing happens unless you really geek out on pitching. Last year they had a World Series game go on for almost seven hours and it was only 6-5 at the end

It’s a super interesting game because the defense controls the ball and there is no clock. This also means the games can just drag on and on with no end in sight

I’d think it really depends on the heat and proximity to the road

If a battery pack burn less hot and sits higher off the roadway, I can see it being less damaging

I support the death penalty for corporations.

And what if you want to contact someone? Are they on signal or WhatsApp or telegram? Or is it discord? Which server? How can I find that thing someone sent? Let me just open all those apps and start searching

I think you underestimate how little tolerance the average person has for this kind of friction. These huge platforms win because everyone is on them and it all just works.

The network effect is powerful. But we also need to be honest with ourselves. Signal is an objectively worse client than Messages, especially when the average person does not value privacy.

Legal != moral

When laws are only enforced against an underclass, they are inherently immoral

Cool. The parent claim was that 5% of users were doing something. A claim which has no basis in evidence.

Plex and Tailscale are notoriously tricky to get working together. Just any search of those two words returns pages of forum help topics

You have no way of knowing and also how much content is legal or not

My plex library has my entire library that I’ve been curating since iTunes was released which is now predominantly FLAC files I buy from Bleep and Bandcamp

Every movie I have ever bought is there too. I suppose technically it’s all illegal right? I copied it. In some cases I even bypassed some things the DMCA outlawed to do so.

And so what?

It’s such a quaint sentiment in 2026 to care about illegal content when the entirety of the LLM industry did this, but far worse, at scale, and nobody has even charged Meta or anyone else with infringement.

Plex and their users is not the problem
