I'm sure he thinks the idea is dumb, but what he really hates is someone getting attention for being a decent person. That's his real kryptonite. Having to give deference to people with qualities he could never bring himself to have while they are lauded for it.
My favorite ever was the Samsung Uproar. Also my first portable mp3 player and while it had shit storage, I had my favorite playlist always at the ready which was so novel at the time. The backlighted screen felt so premium then.
Love does not require vulnerability in any shared sense. It can absolutely exist without it. I would argue that a relationship isn't very healthy without some concept of shared vulnerability but love isn't a relationship and a relationship isn't love.
Many relationships are purely based on a concept of "I know what my partner is thinking/feeling" when nothing is shared. There are many connections that just work, for various reasons.
I'm nearing 50 and didn't even know what vulnerability actually was (I had a concept but not an experience. I didn't know what I didn't know) until my early 40's. And I'm still shit at vulnerability and have roughly as much experience with using a Bat'leth in combat as I do being vulnerable. But believe me, I've been in love many times.
Healthy emotional response means you react to your environment in an appropriate way given the environment. Unhealthy emotional response means you pass out when you hear a helicopter or you can't have healthy relationships or hold down jobs or feel good or feel anything. Emotions just are until they're an impediment to living.
Same boat, the exact same refurb 10tb drives I've got in my system are 2.5x my last purchase. But I did get a lot of fast RAM before the prices went nuts.
Don't forget to check out Youtarr. I think it hits all the targets. You can do channels, playlists or individual videos. It has an option for a proxy URL to use to download which I believe can be set up with a self-hosted VPN. And it formats and sends things directly to Jellyfin.
