The actual total in your own link was 5.2 million for executives. The 88 million is, again, the entire salary base just in 2021. Assuming they still had 700 employees (which is a current figure, not 3 years ago) that's still about 120k apiece for everyone else.

I can't tell if you're just being disingenuous or you really can't read your own sources...

That salary number is all ~700 employees, not just "executives". That averages to about 150k apiece, not unreasonable for what is probably mostly tech workers.

I've only used Jellyfin, what does Plex do better for the non-expert user?

As the old saying goes: soap box, ballot box, ammo box in that order.

It's possible that it's not supported on your arch.

I agree that a primary probably still ends up with Kamala and would probably just be the illusion of choice. The DNC would close ranks around her in the name of Biden's legacy, just like they did for Biden back in 2020 when the vote was splitting in Bernie's favor, and in 2016 when it was obvious they just wanted to coronate Hillary and move on.

That said, even with a rigged primary, putting your candidate on the debate stage to address your constituents instead of skipping directly to fellating non-existent centrists in the general would have been good.

Cheers to that, fellow Texas drunk

Texas is incredibly resource rich, even if the people who live here are generally fuck faces.

I mean, fuck Elon and Tesla but if you're spending money on a car you're giving it to a bastard one way or another. The CEOs of Ford, BMW, et. al. might not be making asses of themselves on the global stage, but I'm sure they're still horrible. Even used cars run on gas 99% of the time.

Child abuse is still illegal here regardless of corporal punishment. You can get CPS called on you for a lot of things that aren't physical abuse too.

But of course I'm sure it being illegal in Europe means it's totally non-existent. If there's one thing kids are known for it's having enough awareness to self report their parents bad behavior behind closed doors, right?

Because at some point after the first few million you turn into a dragon that must hoard wealth and the people that generate that wealth become a cost to minimize.

It's a "collectible" piece of plastic that looks like a fat chibi, square headed version of some tired character from pop culture. The only people that own them are psychic vampires.
