Oh yeah and was the site of Impact Plastics, the company that killed 4 women during Hurricane Helene by waiting until the parking lot was under 3 feet of water to evacuate the building.

Oh yay, my hometown

Collectivization doesnt look so bad anymore does it?

I had seen people paying for services to write research for them.

I had seen people translate research papers from foreign languages(Like Russian for example) to English to avoid doing any work.

What I see as the main distinction between these forms and AI-enabled cheating is that the university is at least accrediting someone’s scholarship (assuming it goes through the system just fine). AI/LLMs output pure, unverifiable, black-box gobbledygook in a way that gums up the whole system. I’m not associated with a university anymore but have several friends who do teach at that level and the amount of opaque muck they’re having to trawl through just to try to prove if a human wrote any bit of the essay they’ve been handed in makes me glad I didn’t pursue my own career in education further.

I agree with the gist of your argument, I really do, but I don’t think that the current gen of AI cheaters are just a new form of a forever problem in academia.

I do hate to say it but it seems like Gen Xers are slowly taking over the Boomer “My childhood was FUCKING AWEsome we drank from the Waterhose and didnt have autism and if you dont like that then STFU liberal!” mentality. I’ve seen it firsthand

Video gaming is for losers. Buy a hammer.

Dont worry, I will always be the snarky asshole who talks down to people for not being like me any chance I get

TBH I still cannot believe there are people using the internet without ad block in 2026

Hmmm, sorry to hear that. What kinds of lists are you trying to make? Are you making sure to “enable” the filter when creating it in Radarr?

Firstly, the core *arr suite is not a streaming service, whatsoever. It’s a media file manager meant to help with running a private server streaming app, like Plex or Jellyfin. With that out of the way:

I imagine sitting on coach, searching for show. Then you want to watch some, and then you have to wait half an hour for full episode (or even season?)

Download speeds depend on your own setup. IMO, a Usenet connection is the only way to use *arr. Downloads happen at the maximum speed and don’t rely on some other person’s seed rate. You, conversely, don’t need to worry about seeding.

When you manually add a show to Sonarr, you can select it to only pick up the pilot episode of the show, which could cut down on DL times by focusing bandwidth. You can also select a lower definition. With Usenet and something like a 720p quality, there’s no reason why this should take more than 5 minutes to be in your library.

I’ll also paste my comment I left below about connecting to lists:

You can connect your *arr profiles to monitor external lists of new titles by pointing the list manager to something like MDBList. They might not be as instantaneous as you might like, with a 24hr refresh period, but it’s pretty much a 0.99:1 Netflix replacement for me

I’ll also add that I’m not some CompSci nerd, either, so don’t be scared to give it a shot. My server runs off Plex on my Windows 10 desktop because I don’t know how to do any better but I’ve never had an issue watching what I want to watch

Yeah, this a strange take from OP. I like some live recordings (NIN Mudstock '94 was playing today) but certainly not because the band is inexplicably playing better than they did in the studio

Thanksgiving sucks ASS because I have to listen to Uncle Dylan say the N word and make small talk with the cousin who raped me as a boy!

Yt-dlp is the way. J-Downloader is okay too if you need a good interface but dlp is just too damn powerful to not use

Can this guy just “retire” already?

True but I didn’t want to get into the nitty gritty and just comment on the conservative “crime in the streets!!” fantasy
