Why bother with screen recording Prime when you could torrent it? I feel like I'm missing something.

Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).

Not that you shouldn't self-host an alternative, but you don't have to.

To actually address the question, it's because commercial buildings don't (generally) meet residential building code requirements, even if there's a kitchenette and a shower, etc. They are simply not meant for the same purpose or to be occupied 24/7 unless they were engineered that way from the start, which is exceedingly rare. A lot of office buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows and complex HVAC systems simply to make sure people aren't cold, breathing stale air, or too humid/dry, so they also use a lot of energy.

It's just a name. They're right-wingers.

Monster Cables sued Monster Energy, and then Monster Energy sued the publisher of Immortals: Fenyx Rising before it changed its name from Gods & Monsters. Basically, Monster Energy decided to do what was done to them, probably just for the money and to see if they could get away with it.

Guys, we need more money or we won't be able to do the job that we never do!

How does what you wrote prove it isn't fun when you're horny?

I think that this is shortsighted. Imagine a scenario in which a person might use a Nazi salute in public: it is unlikely that it would be used by a single person just out doing their normal routine. Consider the recent context of Elon Musk, who was at a very large political gathering and was expecting people to respond in kind with their own salutes.

Do you want more visible Nazis? They show up when you summon them. They don't go away when you outlaw their symbols, but they do find it less appealing to promote themselves online or have rallies to recruit more would-be Nazis. I understand your hesitance to let the state do these things, it's a large part of the reason why I don't believe in capital punishment. But if the state doesn't have the power to stop this peacefully, the next step (no matter what "side" is doing it) is violence.

The comparison to saying slurs is just not equivalent whatsoever.

Sorry, are you really saying that a Nazi salute is a simple gesture and not overt hate speech against racialized groups? That a Nazi rally in a public place is totally cool and a reasonable expression of political ideology in a democratic society?

That is not a centrist position, it's a pro-Nazi position. Nazis are not acceptable in public. If a Nazi wants to salute up and down the street, they should be prepared for people to take it as it is (an act of hate speech). In some countries that's not a crime, but it sure is in my country and, soon, Australia too.

Even that's not really unique in the retail investment space, just look at Robinhood's marketing from before /r/SuperStonk happened and they pissed people off by limiting trades on GME. A lot of it is like, "even you can hoard wealth like your favourite billionaire"!

Punishing Nazis for attempting to rally support from the wider public is dystopian? I definitely don't want to live in your perfect society.

I'm not, I've hated them since they bought out SimpleTax and made filing my taxes less fucking simple. Still mad about it years later. Anyway, they're an investment company with all of the baggage that comes with, so it doesn't surprise or disappoint me at all that they're lobbying for deregulation.
