Is there any reason you want a self-hosted service for this rather than making an account with TMDB or TVDB? Trakt fetches all of its metadata from those 2 sites (it prioritizes TMDB).

Not that you shouldn't self-host an alternative, but you don't have to.

To actually address the question, it's because commercial buildings don't (generally) meet residential building code requirements, even if there's a kitchenette and a shower, etc. They are simply not meant for the same purpose or to be occupied 24/7 unless they were engineered that way from the start, which is exceedingly rare. A lot of office buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows and complex HVAC systems simply to make sure people aren't cold, breathing stale air, or too humid/dry, so they also use a lot of energy.

I am not Iranian. Why would I even bother talking to you about Iranians if I was Iranian? Christ... get a fucking brain cell.

I'm sitting in my apartment in Ontario, Canada right now sipping coffee. I don't even know who you are. All I wanted was information about Khamenei and Iranian people.

Dude, I fucking was born and raised here. You don't know anything about us if you think we're not racist assholes.

And i recognize your account its the second time you defend capitalism

LMAO! What? Bro, that's crazy to hear since I'm a staunch socialist. But whatever! I guess you are the wrong person to talk to about this.

Also, I'm a born and raised Canadian with no Iranian heritage. I am mostly English and French-Canadian. Who do you think you are?

It's just a name. They're right-wingers.

I don't doubt you, I'm just trying to get your perspective on why these differences exist. But maybe that's me acting entitled to information from a random person and I would be better off watching a documentary or something.

Can you say why Iranians dislike Arabs or why they support USA/Israel, and why Khamenei supports Palestine and not USA/Israel? I'm trying to understand why this difference exists. I really am not educated at all on this part of the world (that's my ignorance, but I am curious about your experiences).

Is it really as simple as racism or are there socioeconomic concerns? For example, many people in my country (Canada) hate immigrants because it's difficult to find a good-paying job or an affordable apartment due to suppressed wages, lack of domestic manufacturing, and a very bad housing crisis. It's easier to just blame immigrants for coming here than to convince the government to help us more directly.

Can you speak more to that? Why is there such a difference in perspective between average Iranians and Khamenei?

Most Americans don't realize the scale at which their empire works tirelessly to oppress or subsume all other nations. Telling them about CIA interference in the '70s and '80s blows their fucking minds, let alone what's going on today across the world. It goes against the narrative that they're tough but fair stewards of the planet and not schoolyard bullies with nukes who have transformed the global economic landscape to benefit themselves, so it doesn't make sense to them.

Monster Cables sued Monster Energy, and then Monster Energy sued the publisher of Immortals: Fenyx Rising before it changed its name from Gods & Monsters. Basically, Monster Energy decided to do what was done to them, probably just for the money and to see if they could get away with it.
