About your mom sending mixed messages, she probably felt, in this order:

1-Happy about you getting a job because it will mean more independence for you. 2-A bit concerned about you being a dishwasher as those jobs are usually pretty demanding and the wages are low. 3-That she should be more supportive of your initiative because she realized starting out as a diswasher is not a lifelong commitment, and it could lead to you trying something else.

I might be wrong, but I’m the parent of an autistic kid and all I want for him is to succeed and have a comfortable life. I’d probably go trough those feelings myself and give the same mixed messages if this situation arose.

Parents aren’t perfect.

In other news: Plex changed the UI for Roku devices. The community says it’s horrible. They absolutely don’t care, paid or unpaid users.

Main tread

They are clearly making a shift to bury the user’s libraries to the profit of their monetised content.

I guess they consider that our lifetime pass isn’t enough money anymore.

Enshitification is here, and I’m pretty sure it’s on it’s way to every other platform’s UIs.

So yeah, I guess it’s time to figure out how Jellyfin works.

Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.

So Jellyfin… How hard is it to migrate from Plex?

In " Mexican "…

His voice… Do something about his voice. I just fucking can’t take another 4 years of it.

I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn’t : they don’t have tall buildings there.

Little story about Vientiane and cats: there’s a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.
