Except it just goes in a circle.

He should do it of the ‘FAKE’ election too. You know he doesn’t actually want to do the work anyway.

Certainly not the majority, but being “mainstream” doesn’t require a majority.

The problem is where the mainstream lies. In Islam, the mainstream is fundamentalism. Of course, fundamentalism is a problem for Christianity and every other religion too, but right now that is not the mainstream of those sects. And that is why Islam gets criticized more heavily than other religions.

Fundamentalism is cancerous wherever it lives.

If you like that reality garbage, I won’t yuck your yum, but I enjoyed not having to see any of it. I miss being able to forget that shit like Obese Hoarder Wars or Little Person with 13 Kids exists.

Having to configure settings all over again on every single device pissed me off, especially since the new app didn’t even have subtitles customization of any kind. As someone who uses subtitles for almost all viewing, nothing turns me off of a streaming service faster than being stuck with shitty black bars and gigantic blocky text by default and being unable to change it.

And for fuck’s sake, nobody likes video previews with sound, and you can take your credit-skipping autoplay and shove it up your corporate ass.

I sign into “max” now and get bombarded on the home screen with basic cable reality show trash, and every time that happens it just makes me want to use it less. The only thing keeping me coming back is the occasional Soderbergh project and an as-of-yet still decent catalogue of movies, though even that has dropped off noticeably.

I would drop my subscription if it wasn’t bundled into my phone plan.

For me it’s because of Cinemax - ie Skinemax - which used to be associated with the softcore porn they’d play late at night.

It always mystified me that HBO Max was even able to use that name since it was so evocative of another premium cable network.

Good old “urban renewal”.

You totally misread what I wrote, but thanks for the pointless rant. For a minute there it felt just like being back on reddit.

As an American I’m just assuming that road was moved to be widened and a bunch of low income housing and many blocks worth of historic buildings were demolished in the process.

The Omnibus podcast did a great episode on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn.

Your privilege is showing, mate! Tuck that shit in, nobody wants to see that.

I’d probably just buy a different beer and get on with my life. So long as they’re not using their product to actively promote bigotry in society, there’s no reason for me to care.

The people “trying to make it political” are the ones who want it to go away - ie, the bigots, who somehow always seem to be on the right wing. Everyone else has to push back because failing to do so means bending to the will of the bigots.

If you want it to stop being political, your energy should be directed against conservatives who keep trying to put people into arbitrary boxes and keep them there.

Must be nice to not have to worry about representation.

Most things are better than Bud Light.

All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn’t yet been filled and jumped in. You’re not wrong that it’s somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.
