FWIW you can fix the aspect ratio issue on the firestick using ADB to force the device to display in a 4:3 resolution (except when using streaming apps that force 16:9)

If you want something privacy oriented you’ll probably need to build some kind of NUC. To my knowledge no off-the-shelf streaming device respects privacy

There are things like torrentio now which lend BitTorrent piracy a more integrated UX, and that has definitely extended the lifespan of its usefulness to me. Torrents rarely max out my line speed these days, mostly because I have 1000X the bandwidth compared to when I first started torrenting 20 odd years ago. But it’s still one of the fastest and simplest methods to get any file you want, so I think it’s relevant

Tell it to shut the fuck up (it works, that’s why my grandfather likes it)

Prepping my store for boxing day sales rn. I’ve had one staff member quit with no notice and two called in sick all last week. It’s made my life hell, but I support them all. Honestly fuck this business. If I could afford to I’d do the same

I’m not sure but I know he also loves pork, just like in the Czech republic

Legit when I’m feeling shitty about my current situation I just think back to the pure hedonism of raving in the forest a few months back on psychedelics and remember experiences like that are real and I can do things like that again in future. Then everything feels ok

No worries, you’re fine at describing what happened, there’s just missing context. Like, she was demanding you to go to the shop to buy things for yourself, or for her, or for you both? Was there some standing obligation for you to do that outside what’s in your post?

Then she calls me up and tells me to go to the shop to buy some stuff. She says I’m not your mother.

Are these events linked? Strikes me as ironic given demanding someone go to the shop to buy stuff is like… Something children do to their mothers.

I don’t think you have to forgive her, but you could move past it, which is sorta different and is an option that preserves your relationship.

Like, acknowledging that she is this way and it’s unlikely to change, taking steps to protect yourself from that kind of behaviour, but deciding to love her anyway.

Obvious arc for any character that’s lost their mysterious powers: they get their powers back. Maybe cope but I doubt they’d just do geralt-like abilities for her progression, she’ll have some sort of unique mechanic
