It’s so worth it. I spent many years pirating stuff manually by downloading the torrent file, adding it to my torrent program, unzipping it, and using a file browser to select game.of.thrones.s01e01.1080p.proper.webrip.whatever.fuckme.mkv. One day I was like fuck it, we’ll do it live and I dove into the whole plex/sonarr/radarr/jackett thing and it streamlined the piracy problem to the point that I very rarely even have to do anything beyond opening up a web browser and typing the name of whatever I’d like to have added to plex and the rest just happens automatically.

It grabs only the torrents in the language you specify with exactly the bitrate and resolution you specify, it unzips stuff and puts it in a correctly named directory with organized filenames and grabs the movie posters and thumbnails. I almost never even have to log into my torrent site. I usually only go there so my account doesn’t get disabled for not logging in frequently enough.

As a bonus sonarr and Radarr have a calendar page so you can see when the stuff you want is expected to air in the future.

Sonarr and Radarr can do this for you. If you have a movie or show that you are interested in that hasn’t released yet you can add it to the list and the program will automatically grab it from your preferred torrent site and download it for you as soon as the file is available.

It’s really nice when I forget that I added something and then six months later I see that it’s been downloaded automatically and is ready to watch.

I wonder why eating drugs never became as popular as drinking alcohol. Obviously you can put THC in food but imagine if instead of going to the bar for a beer you went to the restaurant to eat some THC infused food or food infused with some other drug that can be taken orally. Eating food has the same level of social acceptability as drinking a liquid and is similarly as natural evolutionarily but it isn’t a thing people really do.

Maybe it’s because the effects of alcohol have a quick onset which edible THC lacks? What about infusing food with some other oral drug with a quicker onset? I can’t come up with any off the top of my head though.
