Congressional Republicans have for months repeatedly written to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland demanding he appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, the president’s son, over his business dealings....
it makes sense when you start from the premise that republicans are self-serving liars and bullies who will claim victimhood no matter the circumstances in an attempt to villainize their opponents against whom they have no real, substantive arguments.
hell, even in 2016, when Trump won the election, he still claimed that it was rigged!
well, if they’re shifting the definition of “conservative” to what others call a “domestic terrorist who made death threats against the President and then had a shootout with the FBI rather than surrender,” then yeah, those people should watch out.
“People in the lgbtq+ community aren’t real trek fans” is absolutely not what he said.
he agreed with it, which is tantamount to saying it himself.
He shouldn’t have agreed with this asshole who tweeted at him, but that is what he did wrong.
yet, you’re here defending him? so, you think it’s ok to agree with bigotry as long as you don’t say it out loud? wow
But this is just not good enough for the woman who quote tweeted him and just had to add her own little flair to the truth to make it sound worse.
Beltran says agrees with a homophobic/transphobic tweet, and your problem is that someone objected? So, to you, the bigotry isn’t the problem, but the fact that anyone has a problem with bigotry and speaks out against it? Because that’s what it sounds like.
Plex requires an Internet connection for, well, several reasons. Also, how do you plan on getting media onto the server if it’s not connected to (what I assume you meant) router?

Any growth that isn’t organic isn’t gonna last because it isn’t real. You can artificially inflate your participation statistics with artificial participation, but as soon as that ends, you’re going to return back to your base numbers. It’s extremely unlikely, in my opinion, that what you’re proposing would actually trigger organic growth on its own that would be of any meaningful or lasting quality.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t try, and maybe I’m wrong. I’ve seen people try this on reddit and have it not work, but maybe lemmy is different. also, perhaps it depends on the community/subject matter itself?

As somebody who’s been using macOS as a platform for piracy for over 20 years, I assure you it does not make it more difficult in anyway whatsoever. I’m sorry you’re having troubles, but they’re not related to the platform.

This is good news! I’ve found other communities a little restrictive when it comes to certain types of discussion, and your guidelines are both more permissive and, more importantly, more transparent. Thanks for that!
