  • That’s fair, can’t really argue with the sharing is caring argument. But to be even more fair, I don’t feel like cached torrents (which is what Nuvio uses) harm anything, either, since all it takes is one person to grab the file, and then everyone using the same seedbox/debrid service can download/stream it directly at their internet’s maximum download speed.

    And to be even more more fair, you can always pair Usenet with Nuvio instead, completely taking seeding out of the picture.

    (BTW sorry for coming in hot earlier, I tend to get irritated easily for no one’s fault but my own. My dopamine receptors don’t function very well…)


  • Yes, it’s option 3. Why are you so “horrified” by this? Does the concept of people watching YouTube/Freetube/Piped horrify you too?

    Look, this isn’t music we’re talking about; when it comes to movies and TV, I see no point in building a personal library, just how I see no point in downloading YouTube videos. I have my favorites that I’ll re-watch once in a blue moon, yes, but generally once I’m done with a movie/episode, I’m done with it for good. Therefore I see no point in having a movie/TV collection wasting valuable hard drive space.

    Before I discovered Stremio/Nuvio, my workflow was like this:
    Boot up PC > fire UP VPN and open Firefox > Navigate to 1337X > search for something to watch (assuming that I already know what I want to watch) > click magnet link and wait for seeds > transfer file to Jellyfin library > boot up TV > open Jellyfin and watch > delete file

    After switching, my workflow is now this:
    Boot up TV > Open Nuvio > Browse for movie/show > Watch

    I hope I explained it well enough by now. Do you understand the difference now? One of these options requires way more work than the other. Nuvio works exactly like Netflix. It even recommends you content based on your viewing history. No personal library required.

    And that’s one of the reasons why I’ve never found a therapist I vibe with. How can you ever get to know and understand me if we can’t ever meet up in a a casual, less structured environment?

    (The other reason is that they’re too quiet and reserved for me, when I need someone loud and obnoxious who tells it like it is.)








  • Well I can’t tell you this much: Kratom saved my life, so I get a little bit offended when people try to talk shit about it when there are actual deadly drugs out there killing people, and many of them are legal.

    Just like with every substance, it’s about moderation. Kratom can become addictive just like gambling can if you have the personality for it. If you treat it like a pharmaceutical and stay consistent with your dosage, you have nothing to worry about.

    Now the reason why I say kratom saved my life is because it is the one substance I found that can actually make me a functioning adult who can contribute to society. I have AuHD and was a NEET until my 30s, being an absolute drain on my parents’ resources. I just could not hold down a job. I’d get sick of working after a month, and decide to stop coming in. My bosses would stress me out, I’d have a panic attack, and then just walk out the door, never to return. The doctors tried. I’ve been given all sorts of antidepressants, bipolar meds, stimulants, benzos…Nothing worked. Or in the case of stims like Adderall, they’d work the first few times and then I feel completely and utterly miserable for the rest of the month.

    But then at the age of 31, someone introduced me to the Green Maeng Da strain at a family gathering and it changed my life forever. For the very first time in my life, I felt like a normie. I was able to smile and joke around with people, talk to strangers, and my anxiety was gone. Like completely. I never felt this way in my life!

    Fast forward a decade: I am now able to not only hold down a job, I now have a paid off car, a house, beautiful girlfriend who I am going to marry one day. And it’s all thanks to kratom. It woke something up in me and I am eternally grateful to that family member who showed me that I don’t have to keep trying various medications that don’t work.

    So needless to say, this is why the “fuck kratom” people offend me. I would have been an unemployed loser for the rest of my life if it weren’t for it. The crazy part is that it keeps consistently working, day after day. I don’t understand why I’m not building a tolerance to this stuff but I’m grateful it worked out that way. But again, maybe it’s because I treat it as a serious medication, and not just something to get high off of. You have to be consistent with your dosage.
