I’m new to the concept of nukes, but generally I understood it as a wide concept from the linked wiki. I guess what I wanted to know if it would be possible to see more about why a user has flagged the certain torrent (e.g. the user has submitted some kind of report that malware was discovered when scanning the downloaded files). Maybe I’m overthinking this – I nearly always am – but I figured there may be situations where it could be interesting to know, similar to seeing an angry one star review on Amazon and instantly realizing the problem lies with the reviewer when you read the review.

In database form I think it would be most attractive if nukes could be categorized or if there was a possibility for a link to any user generated report on the torrent (but then again I have no idea about which source data you have available on any of this and to what extent I’m just fully misunderstanding “nukes”)

For sure! Where I live the last election was between a neo-liberal coalition or a neo-liberal coalition fueled by fascism. Both options were a vote for an erosion of civil liberties, under the banner of combating a mix of real gang violence and made up evils of evil, but one of the factions also offered the catharsis of blaming everything wrong on immigrants. Not that the not non-fascist faction has been slow to underwrite the fascist narrative, whenever that’s appeared beneficial to public support. The “lesser evil” lost the election, and at no point have they stopped to consider that the “evil” part of their strategy was a part of it, they think it was a failure in selling themselves as superior administrators of the same policies the current government is championing.

Didn’t know about this resource before. Good stuff.

Two questions:

Is it possible to get more information about nukings?

What percentage of the scene releases included in your stats above are actively seeded/healthy?

Yeah, this keeping voters accountable to politicians nonsense needs to end. Make it the other way around or GTFO.

Trump is a really dark post-political blank slate for maniacs to project their frustrated base instincts and worst fantasies on. That’s not a unique thing, seemingly all European democracies have some populist equivalent. Those laying claim to leadership over opposing these forces need to do fucking better.

At this point it’s a hard chicken and the egg proposition to say what came first:

– the frustrations of large swaths of populations through centrist politics sucking up to a nimbyist “middle class” that always favor tax breaks and benefits for car driving homeowners over public investments in anything/anyone else or

– the calls for those frustrated to either vote centrist or have fascism imposed on them.

I’m not American and do in fact think it is important that Biden wins (if even just to avoid destabilizing the world’s largest military power in a time of global tensions). And as such I have no other choice but to encourage Americans to vote for him, regardless of conviction. But it’s galling to hear or read – whether in the context of the Biden, Macron or any similar choice between a turd sandwich or fascism – that people should shut up and be happy and enthused about it.
