I blacklisted it from Seerr because I have a server full of actually good shows, and I’m not going to host trash.

Excuse me, circumcision was not invented, it was discovered, like math.

Unlike autism which the Jews invented.

Oh boy, were they in for a shocking few millennia.

The Jews?

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is necessarily true, whether you want to believe it or not.

It simply is the case that you don’t know: what you don’t know.

It is impossible not to be ignorant about how complex systems are when viewed from the outside.

Initial motivation and confidence is gained through tertiary models of the system, which need to be replaced later, but that first model will always inspire a level of confidence which betrays the complexity.

Even being fully aware of the Dunning-Kruger effect has not inoculated me against the effects, but I always think it’s entertaining to observe as an experience.

I read this comment, then closed the post.

Then I thought to myself “I didnt see, but I’d bet myself $100 it was a .ml user”

Then I opened it again to much entertainment.

This general attitude towards giving up when something becomes unfamiliar is wild to me, because in any discipline they’re even slightly good at, they’d take a minor hurdle as a learning experience, plus they have you to walk them through it, so it really isn’t a big deal.

This was made abundantly clear when I installed the Jellyseerr app (basically just a webapp) on my Dad’s phone, logged in for him and walked him through this process:

• Use the search bar
• Select the show
• Select the season you want
• Click request

“That’s too complicated I’ll just ask you when I want to watch something”

I sent him a Signal message in a new group called “Jellyfin guide”. It should be easy to find since I’m his only Signal contact.

Just follow the guide.

A week later, “hey can you download this for me?”
