Funny how one instance is the one everyone wants to defederate from.

It’s worse than just that. They argue that acknowledgement of Stalin’s atrocities is Holocaust denial.

They are so scared and insecure they will lash out against anything that slightly challenges their beliefs. If they post sources it will be misreadings of fringe groups, or conveniently ignoring facts. Like how they believe tiananmen square wasn’t a big deal because the China killed about 300 people a mile away. Or how Cuba is a utopia even though it’s citizens chose to get run over by the coast guard instead of living there.

I think more convenient and user friendly is a bit of a stretch.

My wife gets confused by the remote and different profiles. My parents needed me to explain how to use Netflix more than once. Saying going to your PC and finding a torrent is convenient and user friendly isn’t true. But the point that having to search where to stream a particular movie or show isn’t user friendly is also true.

This is a lousy article rehashing an article behind a paywall.

The cost they have is $87 a month. There is so much that’s confusing about this. They don’t specify how many streaming services they are counting in that, but it’s a good guess that is about 5, each at about $17 a month. I feel I have too many streaming services and share accounts with family, and I can stream from about 7, pay for one and watch 1.5. If I couldn’t share accounts, I wouldn’t have the accounts. I pretty much watch star trek and whatever show someone tells me to watch.

They also don’t specify what $87 a month gets you in cable. Around me that’s about basic cable prices, which is significantly less content presented in a less convenient format and is almost entirely reruns filled to brim with commercials.

Not only is the article missing key information it also misrepresents the information it has.

Note: I’m sure people will tell me to pirate everything, but there are reasons to not pirate. And it doesn’t address that this is a poorly written article giving incomplete and incorrect information.

Who is getting money from your work? Do they deserve it? More than you?

Having the good fortune to have money earlier shouldn’t entitle someone to more money later. Investors are important, but shouldn’t be allowed to have all of the benefit.

It is!

Most companies make BS solutions for fake problems. Not going to the office exposes a large chunk of fake needs.

Do families really need two cars? If you aren’t commuting every day, probably not.

Having more free time means people are more likely to cook and clean for themselves. Can’t make money off of that.

How many suits do you need to own? None! You only owned them because you are supposed to wear them in the office.

Dry cleaners? No longer a bill.

Gas? When you aren’t sitting in your cities parking lot of a freeway isn’t bought as often.

Speaking of parking lots, you aren’t paying for parking anymore.

Daycare and dog walkers aren’t needed anymore.

Going up work is expensive and companies want us addicted to these fake expenses.

I’m confused by your question.

Is your objection cliffhanger endings? Those are more common in American media. Or is it lack of plot progression, which is common across all media? Even shows famous for moving the plot forward never stray too far from the start.

He wasn’t “caught red handed” he was caught with a preponderance of evidence implicating him.

Fear and hunger.

It has enemies that are tougher than they should be. You are just a small part of the story. It’s pretty good.

It’s not easy.

When I feel myself rushing I try to think about why I’m in a rush and what I’ll actually gain. Like maybe rushing through a task will let me play a video game or something, but what does that do? Let’s me relax? Why not relax now and try to enjoy what I’m doing, or at least avoid having to do it twice.

The journey is the destination.

I have a problem with rushing through things. This has helped me slow down and appreciate what I’m doing. I’m not doing something so I can enjoy it after it’s done, I’m doing it to enjoy what I’m doing.

Green. All other colors are objectively inferior.

Let’s pretend that you have a basket with 100 apples. You know apples are about 100g each, because you weighed 10 of the them and all of the apples seem about the same size. You know that basket weighs 1000g. You put the whole thing on a scale and find it weighs 500,000g. You know something else is in that basket. You aren’t sure what, and frankly it doesn’t make sense, but trying different scales and remeasuring more individual apples gives the same result. So you decide that there must be something you can’t see but must exist. That’s dark matter/energy.

That’s not true.

Many bands have been very vocal about how much they dislike ticketmaster. Some have gone to great lengths to avoid ticketmaster or attempt to circumvent many of ticketmaster’s practices.

Ticketmaster isn’t about keeping you from hating your band, ticketmaster charges fees to be an extra parasite in the industry and encourage scalping on their websites to charge fees multiple times for the same ticket.

What are you talking about?

There is no scheme to “destroy” religions. Even the scenario you lay out is “be tolerant and accept other religions” and create a society where rationality and decency are valued. That’s actually being friendly and inclusive, not pretending

there is no real upside to picking Gecko apart from Google = bad.

AdBlock works better on Firefox. Firefox takes fewer resources. Firefox is open source. And that’s just off the top of my head.

The post office.

You can send a letter to anywhere in the US for less than a dollar and it gets there quickly. You don’t even need to leave your house to do it. Now people complain about lines and that it isn’t profitable.

I feel like I am spending less time on Lemmy but am more satisfied with my time here.

On Reddit I would scroll endlessly. I’d find a comment or sentiment that was wrong and start typing out a reply, or once in a while a topic I knew about or had a story for. Then delete it because I don’t want to argue with an idiot and no one will ever see the comment because of the flood of “jokes”.

I feel like I can actually interact with the content here.
