MASSIVELY pissed at for ads in my husband's TV-watching on ! I buy almost EVERYTHING there...yet they want to nickel and dime me for $2.99/mo extra to avoid ads.

Let's see how they like me cancelling my monthly on $400/mo worth of cleaning products, pet products, and cooking products! I'm an driver by-day and it's nothing for me to stop by instead!

Hmm, your Amazon Prime delivery might be late.

Amazon: Get Prime and watch GREAT TV when you want, no ads!

Me: Cool. How about this film?

Amazon: Naah, that's 13 quid!

Me: Ummm... I thought I'd already paid for it but.. okay, how about this one?

Amazon: Good choice, that's FREE... with ads.

Me: Hold on...

Amazon: CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW GOOD A DEAL WE'RE GIVING YOU?

I finally got Amazon’s email where the company says it’s going to put ads in Prime Video and then charge us to not see them so it can make more money (it already makes A LOT).

described its Prime service “compelling” twice 😂

I guess it figures we’ll all just roll over and take it as it offers “services” we never wanted like lame “medical” options as part of its membership.

I am quite COMPELLED to cancel my Prime, as should we all.

The last part of the email.

Amazon knows it is doing its valuable Prime member customers wrong, which is why it spends so much of the email trying to convince them that Prime membership is “compelling” ~

Without much ado at all, we now know the release date for season 2 is September 1st.

Entertainment Weekly has an article stating the release date and providing some new images.

#Recommendations please:

Stories...

(mainly TV series available on #AmazonPrime or #Netflix, but open to #movies & #books too)

... that are rooted in and do something interesting with #TimeTravel.

Note: Doctor Who is not, for the most part, about time travel. Time travel is merely a contrivance to allow for a breadth of stories, so Who doesn't count here (though I could probably think of some specific episodes that do something interesting with time travel if I put my mind to it).
The same is true of Quantum Leap.
I guess The Time Traveler's Wife (Niffenegger) would fit to a degree, but it's not quite as time travel focused as I'm looking for.

Essentially, if I get introduced to some decent stories I'll be happy.

osobiście uważam, że dostarczanie paczek przez Amazon w opcji Amazon Prime za darmo, gdzie zamawiasz bateryjki za 15 zł, jakieś pierdoły po kilka złotych i każda rzecz jest nie tyle dzielona na osobne paczki, co nawet osobne firmy kurierskie / spedycyjne jest zbrodnią przeciwko tej planecie. Całość dostarczana za darmo.

Nie bójmy się tego powiedzieć: jest to zbrodnia i powinno być zakazane, albo przynajmniej jak w wielu firmach opcja do odznaczenia, że nie zależy mi na pilnej dostawie i zamówienie może być skompletowane i wysłane 1 paczką.

Ooh, what's this, a new series based in the John Wick world.... hmmm... maybe I'll check it out.

Oh, lifelong noted anti-Semitic pustule stars in it?

No thanks.

WHY THE FUCK IS MEL GIBSON'S ANTI-SEMITISM GIVEN A FREE PASS??

Fuck Gibson and fuck every anti-Semite. I hope you all die in agony, you utter fucks.

Got uninvited from family celebrations because I have a really bad cold (all tests negative) and we all want Grandma to see 85. So...
Recs for queer Christmas books/ movies / series and cozy games are in order 😊

Tell me: what should I spend my now very relaxed Christmas with?

Watched the premier episode of and not only ran ads before the show but interrupted the show 3-4 times to play unskippable ads. 😡

Ads before were bad enough, but this is absolutely jarring & bullshit for a service I pay for.

Can't even seem to find any info about an ad-free tier for Canadian subscribers.

Really makes the "oh, it's streaming on Prime" discovery into a disappointment than good news.
