      That’s a strange take. If you wake up tomorrow and the price of groceries go up 200% would you just say “people are freaking out that paid food is paid”?

      How’s that corpo boot taste? If you lick it real hard maybe you’ll get your own boots, but only if you lick real shiny.

        Don’t use Plex if you don’t want to. Nobody is forcing you. I swear some people are more angry about this than something like MS Office
