Yeah, and my parents would tell you it hasn't been worth going to since it got to by more than a $1 for a whole bag of burgers (ten to be exact).

Aside from that though, back then there was also this.

If you have been eating fast food for anything other than a treat, something is wrong anyways.

It's never really been cheap, and it certainly has never been good for you.

Weird that everyone is suddenly talking about it now.

And 5 guys? Lol it's always been way over priced.

I am kinda shocked he hadn't passed a long time ago.

Might have to pick a film and give it another watch.

Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:

Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.

Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.

By the way, several of the "features" you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.

I run both concurrently. I have a plex pass from way back when, maybe a decade or more.

What plex is now is not what it once was. Trying to socialize viewing habits, opting in by default to analysis, ads, reviews, and sharing that info has gone too far. Plex also works on these features such as discovery which benefits them, instead of open bugs.

That us why I can't recommend it.

As for a feature comparison. Jellyfin is snappier, and faster. Plex is more detailed in their interface, and has better Metadata. Jellyfin sometimes doesn't restart where I left off. Jellyfin is much, much better on mobile devices, but has less clients for tv's. Jellyfin doesn't rely on any server but my own, where plex wants to authenticate with thier own servers and ask for accounts (and money) to have full functionality. Jellyfin always downloads to a client. Plex...might. Plex has better handling of multiple streams in one file.

Because they are doing things in their best interest and not the end user.

As so many like to say here the enshitification is happening.

If you want to self host, plex isn't it.

Yeah. It was a rhetorical question.

Four colleges simply met with their protestors, came to an agreement to not invest in companies supporting the war, and publicly call for peaceful resolution.

Why is it so damn hard for all the other ones?

This milestone was reached a long time ago. For some reason uncle bobs Facebook post has been just as reliable a media source as any other for a lot of people already.

Thank you for posting.

I am not surprised they did this, but I am surprised people are willing to eat Tyson foods. They have been awful for as long as I can remember.

Come on, you know that tye company will take the blame and individuals will not. Simply look how often that is the case in the US.

That is something you can do, especially if you have as much money as these people do

But then there is a trail of money, and people to keep quiet. Most wealthy people can afford NOT to go around killing people. Because what is going to happen to them if they don't? NOTHING.
