So too, it seems, are those who don't get more votes than those who do not learn from history

I'm curious as to how sites like this actually bring in money into a community, let alone billions. They bring their own construction crews, equipment and supplies, and when they're done they hire like ten security guards. Not that I'm not happy with this current outcome. I feel it's huge in light of everything. But that claim doesn't feel right to me.

I saw the tattoo. I never would have thought it was Nazi. Sleazy biker trash, absolutely. I had to read up on it to know it was Nazi. And I was raised on The Discovery and History channels. So I'm not without some knowledge on the topic. It was an absolutely stupid decision but from what I've seen, tattoos before your mid thirties almost always are.

It's smart to be skeptical but not to be ridiculous.

I thought about replying to some comments but decided to make a top level comment instead. There are some valid points a few people have brought up that aren't the easiest things to fix. Some are, actually pretty easy to fix. Some are issues where Jellyfin forces you to do things a certain way, like file naming convention, which I think is extremely smart to do anyway.

But the one reply I keep seeing is "until Plex stops working, I see no reason to switch". With that, I mean, I guess we all agree you are going to get fucked by Plex at some point. They've been slowly cranking up the heat in the pot. I love my media library and I just couldn't stand waiting for the rolling boil. I've been using Adobe products since 1999. I recognize an abusive relationship when I see it. If you're happy where you're at, I mean, by all means. I'm not going to yuck your yum. Many of the issues are exactly the kinds of things the Jellyfin community is happy to help fix with you. I do wish you all the best, but I've never gotten locked into a great deal that didn't hurt when I needed to get out of it before.

ICE is barely beholden to the law but that's still way too much for what Trump has in mind. A private army of J6rs paid well enough to do absolutely anything along with any mercenary just wanting the money. 1.7b / 10,000 = $170,000. He could pay 10,000 people $170,000. I think that's exactly what he wants to do. That's exactly what he wanted on Jan6 but those idiot fucks were doing it for free.

So, 13,000 ICE and DHS officials plus 10,000 even angrier and even dumber private army militia. I want to mention that we've got likely over 10% unemployment right now. The real numbers are difficult but my most measures I trust, they're saying 10+%. This is the exact situation the Nazis were in. They were out of work, currency was almost worthless and the Nazi party were paying (they got the wealthy early on).

Now, the big difference is I do not think there's enough people willing to join up. I think they're maxed at ICE numbers. There really weren't that many J6rs who weren't feeble Boomers. But, I do think they're trying to follow the Nazi playbook. This is what they want. They're just terribly fucking incompetent so... I guess we'll see.

It's meant to fund a private militia.

There's still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that's who and when it would be done. I'm not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I've got no reason to think that it's not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

Seemingly thousands of people currently, based on the video and I've seen reports that more are showing up every few minutes.

I'm sure everyone knows this track but sometimes we overlook the most prominent tracks. It's good to revisit.

It doesn't sound to me like he thought he was above the law. He seemed to know the consequences. He just didn't think that Trump should be above the law. Or, at the very least, above presidential decorum.
