- Comment on I feel like a flashbang went off in my head, so the only question that I can think of is, "What now?" (Details in body.) 2 months ago:
I can tell you from my own experience, you don’t do the child a favor by sticking to a broken relationship, I wished my parents have broken up earlier instead of pretending everything is good and that’s how a normal relationship should be. It took me years and I sometimes still struggle today to draw a line and go into a conflict with my partner to figure things out instead of avoiding the conflict
- Comment on Disc market share for week ending in 2024-07-20: Here we have a rarity - DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD's market shares at an equilibrium! 3 months ago:
I buy them mostly second hand (there are a few reputable online shops for that over here), the price difference between DVD and BD is small (like 5 instead of 7€) But yeah, you are probably right, I remember when every parent bought a DVD player and they all threw out their VCS and just a few years later Bluray was the new thing and they just refused to do the same thing again :D these people are probably still using their dvd players from back then

Never had problems with the encryption of a BluRay so far (A.R.M. with a suitable 4K BluRay Drive, manual transcoding via Handbrake quality vs size depending on the movie). The menus are one of the reasons why I put everything into Jellyfin. I absolutely hate how every Movie navigates differently, but all buggy, plus the annoying trailers and anti-theft blabla before you even get to the menu. Next thing DVDs and BluRays use different buttons for play, pause, back, skip etc on PS4 wtf. So now I am in a situation where I own all my stuff, but still have the convenience of Netflix.

Why are people still buying DVDs? I just threw in an old movie I only own on DVD and even on my old, shitt, cheap UHD TV it looked so bad, even my gf recognized it. (even, because she doesn’t wear her glasses in the evening and always calls me crazy when I complain about the shitty image of the TV)
- Comment on Anon is anti drugs 4 months ago:
Not directly subsidized, but definitely different treatment than other drugs thanks to successfull lobbying in Germany. Alcohol can far more easy sponsor and advertise e.g. Or the rage of the conversatives when weed got legalized (badly in comparison of course) this year, while they really like to take photos at Germany’s greatest drug convention (Oktoberfest) or get themself “elected” to Wine Queen/Beer Kind of boring region X.

a typical (full subtitle) .srt file for a movie is like 100-200 kb - still not much, but 5 is a little off

I think almond is closest - but that’s shit for the environment, so oat it is

Gatekeeping milk. Okay, if you think that’s worth the effort
- Comment on Good enough 1 year ago:
Not a single sidewalk is built to last the weight of a car. They are build as cheap as possible (sand bed + stones), because they are not supposed to get exposed to heavy loads. That’s why they are often in bad conditions, they usually don’t even have tree root protection, so they get regularly misformed from below and above

Prison Break Season 5 after the story was more than done after season 4
- Comment on BMW 1 year ago:
Let’s just not talk about it was very common practice for like 40 years after the war in Germany, too. But today it’s a totally different story (luckily). Can’t be remembered enough especially when looking at the political directions the western world is heading to right now…
