If I match with someone and then they tell me that the age on their profile isn't accurate, that's an immediate end for me. If you're willing to lie about your age on the dating app I'm not taking any chances trusting anything you tell me.

On the jury one the guy knew he was being filmed the whole time, they just mislead him to believe that the trial was real and the subject of the reality show and that the rest of the jury weren't actors when in reality he was the only person in the show who was not aware that the whole show was staged to look real

He's talking about the fact that for over a decade south Park played a significant part in fueling climate change skepticism with Al Gore screaming "manbearpig guys I'm super cereal" only for the creators to later admit that yeah they were actually super wrong about climate change and it is a serious issue. That's why they made manbearpig real and had it start killing people, but that doesn't erase the influence that they've already had on people. It'd be like if they had a TV show calling aids fake and gay for the first few years of the aids crisis and then only changed their tune once it started affecting people they know.

Claiming that anyone who rightfully criticizes their handling of climate change as being a purity testing twat with no understanding of comedy or satire is disingenuous and makes it obvious that you don't actually understand what you're talking about

Do y'all open it on the light or dark side of the Seasoning oil?

From everything ive seen he's not actually apologized TO the women he abused, he has only ever really made public apologies where he says "this is all true, i thought I was okay by asking for consent beforehand" when there is credible reporting that on multiple occasions he did not even bother to ask for consent.

Just going to add on, that in the YouTube series linked above that there is a direct comparison of how Loius and Dan Harmon both handled it and that you've summarized the differences quite well

[–] TheBlindPew@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

Basically compares the allegations as detailed in the initial reporting with jokes, podcast, and radio appearances that Louis has done in the past as well as his actions and statements after the allegations were made public. And the obviously biased and very condensed version i can give you is that there are several stories he told on opie and anthony about events that bear enough resemblance to the allegations to determine that there are likely more victims who have never come forward and never been recognized and that Louis has been working to minimize how this negatively impacts him without ever going so far as to actually try to make amends with the women he abused.

If you are tempted to watch some I'd say start at the beginning and around the first time you catch yourself thinking "this fucking guy" after a clip of Louis telling a "funny" story on a podcast back before the allegations came out, then you've got the gist and the rest of it is just stacking more receipts

Can't recommend this series enough, does it need to be over 5hrs, not really, but it does paint a very thorough picture of the whole timing of Louie's misconduct and his response to being exposed

Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that Louis C.K. has never made any tangible steps to make amends with the women he abused and yet he still goes on podcasts and talks about how the reporting on his sexual misconduct damaged his life and reputation as though he is the true victim

The worst is when you get to the point where you've read the same passage so many times that you know all of the words in it, in the correct order but they have been totally divorced from all meaning and are just a series of unconnected words

Okay, but this is just a meme in a meme community, in that context it's safe to assume it's presented at face value and as a comedic anecdote.

The behavior you're describing is gross. But, you are interpreting subtext based on your personal experiences when there is absolutely nothing in the OP that is threatening at face value. It is just a meme, take it how you want to, but it seems a little hyperbolic to jump to this being some kind of implied threat over a description of a 4 sentence conversation.

I dont see where you're getting threatening from. The quote is just "I'm so glad you like her" and then the exchange explaining he was talking to his dog. And as someone who has a very good friend whose dog hates me its not always a guarantee that your dog will get along with someone and it can make hanging out difficult.

 

Hey all, I'm relatively new to the selfhosting game the most I've done to date is own and maintain a plex server for the last few years, but that mainly handles all of the networking for me so I'd say it doesn't really count.

Recently, due in part to the ongoing controversy with audibles royalty and streaming model I've decided to try my hand at setting up an Audiobookshelf server of my own. For reference I'm running on a machine with Ubuntu 20.04. Ive managed to get Audiobookshelf and nginx running through docker and accessible via the localhost:port, but now I feel like I'm missing some key understandings.

I assume I need to have a domain name through a DNS service like cloudflare in order to make use of it, but I'm not sure what to do after that and the documentation that I have read doesn't outright answer my questions.

Once I have my DNS setup, how do I associate it with my server or point it through the nginx reverse proxy?

I know I'll have to setup a .conf file for nginx at some point and I found the example .conf in the audiobookshelf documentation, but I just feel like I'm missing the step between getting a domain name and establishing the reverse proxy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
